The catfish action remains good to excellent at Corona Lake with full stringers common early and late in the day or at night. The fish are all around the lake but the flooded trees and edges of the brush and weed beds have been best.

Sergio Rodrigquez, Riverside, had his five-fish limit while float tubing on Sunday in less than two hours. The stringer weighed in at 13 1/2 pounds and his best catfish was a four pounder, all on the marshmallow-meal worm combo. Catches like this have been common than to plants of Silver King catfish twice a week, usually on Tuesday and Friday. But there has also been a decent bite on other species if anglers target them. For example, Chris Marcus, Lancaster, landed a 4 1/2-pound largemouth bass at the dam, while Riley Kuhn, Norco, had a two-pound crappie. Gigi Hall, Rancho Cucamonga, landed a 15-pound sturgeon. The tilapia action has also been pretty good on half a nightcrawler fished under a bobber with fish to two pounds reported. The tilapia are also being planted at least once a week.
