Summer Greetings from Lake Cuyamaca: The trout action the past week has
been on the "hook" for anglers. Baits, Hardware, and tube jigs all
producing limit style action. Crappie are plentiful, taking tube jigs
below a bobber. The shore line action has been good using power bait
and inflated night crawlers with boats experiencing the same action
with bait.
Great news for the private boaters we are building a wash station and it should be up and running early July, details will be posted here and on the Cuyamaca Kids Derby website.
We are now taking reservations for the new RV group camp located in the Over flow area The area is set up for a total of 8 rigs but has a minimum of 4. The rate is $200.00 a night for all 8 sites. Call 877-581-9904 for info..
