Fishing remains very good at Corona Lake with catfish and tilapia showing in good numbers. A fair number of blue bluegill are also showing and even bass were reported this week.

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

Cameryn Snowden, Los Angeles, caught a 9-0 catfish on mackerel fishing from boat. Nick Bakaleinikoff, Alto Loma, caught three catfish totaling 8-8 with fish to 3-0 on shrimp. Todd Wilson, Murrieta, caught a 5-8 bass on mackerel at the dam.

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. Todd Wilson, Murrieta, landed a 5 ??-pound largemouth bass while fishing for catfish with mackerel.
