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 private boats, canoes,
kayaks, float tubes, trolling motors, fish finders, anchors, and other equipment that
contact the water.

Channel Catfish have been hitting cut mackerel, shrimp, chicken liver, and night
crawlers near the South Shore Rockpile and the east end of Wohlford.

Bass action has slowed a bit lately. Chris Linker of Valley Center caught a 4#12
bass using crank bait at Bass Point Saturday afternoon. The first 2 of 5 new Bass
type rental boats are available for rent at Lake Wohlford. They sport foot-controlled
40# thrust trolling motors, 2 swivel seats, and a live well. They rent for $46 for all
day.

The Crappie have moved into deeper waters. Larry Rosby of Moreno Valley and
Jerry Harris of Riverside landed Crappie weighing 1#7 and 1#8, respectively.

Trout action is over for this season as Wohlford waters are too warm for year round
Trout survival. Trout will be restocked on 12/13/08.
