Fishing remains very good at Corona Lake with catfish, tilapia, and even some bluegill showing.

The catfish bite continues to be best at night or in deeper water from boats during the day. The top baits this past week have been mackerel and shrimp.

Top catfish this week was a 20-8 landed by Lance MacNiven, Bakersfield, on mackerel while fishing from shore. After taking pictures of the catch the big fish was released. Frank Carey, Chino, caught a stringer of catfish totaling 10-0 with a 7-0 topping the catch. Tim Duran Jr. and Tim Duran Sr., both of San Dimas, teamed up to catch eight catfish totaling 23-0 with fish to 4-0, all landed on shrimp. Thomas Lavopnig, Huntington Beach, caught five catfish totaling 12-0 on nightcrawlers.

The tilapia bite remains good. Nightcrawlers fished in the shallow water has been the best bet for these fish, and bluegill are also showing for anglers fishing the tilapia. D.J. Berry, Lake Elsinore, caught seven tilapia totaling 8-0 with fish to 2-0 on nightcrawlers fishing from shore.
