Whisker Bay, Boat Dock Cove, and the south shoreline remain the most consistent fishing spot for catfish, bass, and bluegill.

Bass fishing is steady. Large female and male bass have been making appearances near the south shoreline and near the Boat Dock. Imitation trout lures, night crawlers, and Swimbaits have been the most effective baits. Victor Betancourt of Escondido caught an 8.75 lb. bass near Bass Point on 6/17. Hudson Sherr of San Marcos used a Swimbait near Pier 1 to bring in a 9.2 lb. bass on 6/16.
