CURRENT FISHING REPORT Jim Matthews Outdoor News Service August 30, 2010 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.

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. 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.
