CURRENT FISHING REPORT

Corona Lake’s catfish
and tilapia stay sizzling
     Catfish and tilapia continue to provide good to excellent fishing at Corona Lake with a lot of cats to five pounds or better and the tilapia are running over a pound.
     Catfish have been best from shore for anglers making long casts off JD’s Point out into deeper water with shrimp or mackerel doused with garlic Eagle Claw Gravy, and boat anglers are finding the night bite has been sizzling.
     The top catfish reported this week was a seven-pounder that topped off a five-fish, 21 1/2-pound stringer caught by Darren Stillwell, Compton, on mackerel. A six-pound cat anchored a 34-pound, 15-fish catch posted by Dan and Aiden Kalapara, Yucaipa, fishing mackerel and shrimp off JD’s Point. Brian Torres and Alicia O’Dwyer, both Yorba Linda, had nine cats for 33 pounds on chicken liver at the reeds near the boat dock, and their top fish was also a six-pounder.
     Good stringers were also posted by Marcus Allen, Elsinore, who had 10 cats for 19 1/2 pounds fishing chicken liver and shrimp from a boat, and Rich and Todd Marshall who had 10 cats for 20 pounds, including a five-pounder, fishing mackerel from a boat.
     The tilapia have been best on a half a nightcrawler fished two feet below a bobber close to the shore. They’re really be delighting the kids on lighter tackle. Joel Terriquez, Corona, landed a 1 1/2-pounder fishing a ‘crawler from shore.
     Corona Lake is planted at least twice a week with catfish, most from one to three pounds, but the regular trophy plants add fish from five to 20 pounds or more. Tilapia are also planted each week.
     Corona Lake is open seven days a week with fishing allowed from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. on day passes or from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. on an evening pass. Each of these passes is $22. Seniors pay only $20, with a special $17 pass sold on Wednesdays. All of these passes have a five-fish limit. For kids 4 to 13, a three-fish pass is just $9. The 24-hour passes now sold every Friday and Saturday through the summer. They cost just $60, and anglers can bring a spouse and up to three kids to help fill the 24-hour pass 15-fish limit. Camping at Corona Lake is also free with a 24-hour pass. For Corona Lake fishing information, call 951-277-4489 or log on at www.fishinglakes.com.

NOW HERE’S THE BIG NEWS------------------Our Catfish Season has really been going great guns.  We own the largest Catfish Farm this side of the Mississippi and of course we have a corner on the market for Big Catfish.  Additionally, we have a very close relationship to one of the largest Tilapia Farms in California, and he has been supplying us with those fantastic eating Tilapia.  We’ve got it all guys, and add to that, we stock at least twice a week and sometimes three times a week.  Not once a month or every two months, but 2 to 3 times every week.  There is no doubt, what so ever, about our stocking program, because every single stocking is video taped and posted on our web site, www.fishinglakes.com.

ADD TO ALL THIS-----------We have night fishing every night from 5 to 11pm.  You can get off work, and enjoy a cool summer evening fishing and cook a hot dog or hamburger under the stars.

THEN TOO----------Don’t forget our very popular 24 hour weekend Family Special.  Dad pays $60.00, he gets a 15 fish limit and Mom and 3 Kids, 12 and under get in free.  We let Mom and the Kids fish free and help Dad get his 15 fish limit.  Here’s the best part, there’s no charge for camping, and that’s free too.

DON’T MISS OUT THIS SUMMER------------------------BE THERE!!!

Quagga/Zebra Mussels Alert

Help protect Corona Lake against this
invasive and costly hitchhiker!

Quagga/Zebra Mussels in California waters could result in an environmental and economic disaster. They can cause a shift in native species and disrupt the ecological balance of entire bodies of water. The mussels clog water pipes, coat piers and ruin boat motors. Transferring a boat from an infested water to another water could spread the mussels.
Quagga_Mussels_Hand
Corona Lake is not infested with the quagga mussel and we need the public's help to keep the lake free of this invasive species! 

Please inspect your boat before launching.  Do not launch your boat in the lake if you discover quagga mussels. For more information visit California Department of Fish & Game or call (866) 440-9530.
