CURRENT FISH REPORT CORONA LAKE Jim Matthews Outdoor News Service 6-28-09 Corona Lake sturgeon are quiet, but night catfish bite is very good Catfish action has been good for night and early morning anglers, but the sturgeon planted last week have been almost complete no-shows at Corona Lake. There also continues to be a fair number of bluegill, tilapia, and largemouth bass caught by anglers targeting these fish. Tim Burnett of Compton was spending the weekend at Corona Lake, fishing on back-to-back 24-hour fishing passes, a Father’s Day gift from his wife. He landed one of the first sturgeon caught at Corona Lake early Saturday morning, an eight-pound class fish that was added to his basket of one to two-pound catfish he and his family caught. The catfish were the name of the game for most anglers, with some very good catches reported by shore and boat anglers at night and early in the morning, with quite a few fish topping seven pounds. Shrimp, J.D.’s Mackerel, and nightcrawlers have been the best baits for the cats. Chris Ramsey and Bryan Lindquist, both Murrieta, caught a double limit of 10 catfish and their big fish was a 7 1/2 pounder, all on mackerel or shrimp. Mark Lehman, Perris, landed eight cats to 7-4, while Randy Bowling, Rancho Cucamonga, caught 12 catfish to seven pounds. They were both using shrimp. Also of real note this week, was a nine-pound bass caught and released by Chris Szabo, Anaheim, fishing a jig from a boat, while Todd and Mariss Alysia, Tustin, caught 10 tilapia to 2 1/2 pounds fishing worms from shore. The summer catfish plants are twice a week this season and the tilapia are going in each week. Sturgeon will be planted regularly through the rest of the summer. They have a two-fish limit under five pounds, and one fish between five and 15 pounds. Bigger sturgeon must be released. 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 only pay $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 are now sold every Friday and Saturday and remain just $60. Anglers can bring a spouse and up to three kids to help fill the 24-hour pass 15-fish limit.
