Catfish action has been decent with some limits of Channel Cats hitting night crawlers, chicken liver, shrimp, and cut Mackerel. Matthew Sanger of Valley Center caught a 13#4 Catfish on cut Mackerel at the South Shore Rockpile.
Decent-sized Crappie in 10-15 feet of water are occasionally being found in Boat Dock Cove. Small golden shiners and small finger jigs work best to attract them. Salt and Pepper and yellow/white jigs are the colors that have been working best.

The Bass are in the shallow waters and are still biting. The shad move in tight to the bank in the early morning, so shad-looking lures are the best ticket to success then. Sinko lures, Swim bait lures, and plastic worms work later in the day. Isaac McMann of Escondido caught and released a 4#6 Bass that struck a 4" Plastic Worm off Bass Point. Mike Kostial of Oceanside caught and released a 4#5 Bass which hit Crankbait in Boat Dock Cove.
