Corona Lake hasn't officially started their catfish season and already limits of catfish are being checked in at the tackle-shop. If this is a sign of things to come, you can expect a fantastic catfish opener starting May 23rd.

Night-crawlers & mackerel soaked in Eagle Claw Catfish Gravy seem to be the hot ticket at Corona Lake. Eric, Johnny, Barbara Fennell of L.A. finished with 9 catfish totaling 25 pounds. The team's largest cat weighed in at 4 pounds and they were using mackerel on the East side of the lake. Thomas Majestic & Blanco Zachery caught 6 catfish totaling 17 pounds. Their biggest cat weighed in at 5 lbs. 5 oz. fishing near the boat dock using chicken livers.

James Holliman of Yucaipa caught a mixture of trout & catfish totaling 12 lbs. 8 oz. using mackerel at the South end. The Catfish Grand Opening is scheduled for the big Memorial Day Weekend on May 23-24-25-26, and there will be 24-Hour Fishing all four days!! Tons and Tons of catfish will be stocked for this big Memorial Day Celebration.
