In order to protect Wohlford from invasive exotic Quagga mussels, there is still a
temporary ban on private water craft and private equipment that could have been
exposed to mussels. Restricted equipment now includes boats, canoes, kayaks, float
tubes, trolling motors, fish finders, anchors, and other equipment that contacts the water.

Wohlford's water has cleared and Trout action has been decent with some nice Rainbow
Trout being taken. Top Trout baits have been night crawlers, power bait (green &
yellow), and power worms. Carl Wilson of Temecula caught a 5#5 Trout that hit a
Green Power Worm in Boat Dock Cove. Best Trout areas have been in Boat Dock
Cove, Senior Shoreline, and in Willow Cove. Light line and small hooks are a must for
Trouting success. Four-pound test line or less and size #14 or smaller treble hooks are
recommended.

Bass conditions are ideal for the pre-spawn and the bucketmouths are moving into
shallower waters. Fourteen-year-old Tommy Megrditchian of Escondido landed a 10#8
Bass that hit an Anchovy in Willow Cove. George Takach of Valley Center caught and
released a 5#4 Bass that struck a Plastic Worm off the South Shore Rockpile. William
Shields of Oceanside caught a 4#10 bass while soaking Yellow Power Bait off Senior
Shoreline. Senko worms, Swim bait lures, crawdads, live golden shiners, and plastic
worms are working best for the Bass now.

Crappie have started to bite with the water warming and rising. Billy Xaasomroth of
Murrietta caught a 1#12 Crappie on a Shiner in Oakvale Cove. Mike Kostial of
Oceanside caught a 1#5 Crappie on a Crappie Jig off Bass Point. Mike Kostial of
Oceanside also caught and released a 12#8 Channel Catfish using Crank Bait off the
South Shore Rockpile.
