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


Lake Wohlford is offering $20 all day motorboats to seniors on Tuesdays and Thursdays and to active military on the first and third Saturdays of each month. Half day bass boats are available weekdays for 35$ each.


The trout fishing has yet to really take off following Wednesday's plant. Powerbait and inflated nightcrawlers have been the best baits.


The bass fishing remains good with small to medium sized bass being reported. Bass can be found near structure, and respond best to crawdads, shad raps, or dark colored plastics.


It was a good week for crappie fishing. Mike Kostial of Oceanside weighed in a stringer of one dozen crappie totaling 11.65 #s caught using crappie jigs at Crappie Rock Tuesday. Crappie prefer the cover of submerged rocks or willows, and love to hide under docks, or in other shady places. They are most often caught using mini-jigs or live golden shiners.


Each month Whopper Contest winners in four categories are awarded a free fishing and boating permit. For information on the contest or fishing conditions, please contact the Ranger Station at (760) 839-4346.
