Texas Fish Report

Trout season is just a week away! Saturday Dec. 12th is the first day of trout fishing and we will re-open seven days a week at that time. We will be closed on Christmas day. For those of you who have been gone for a while there are a few changes you will need to be aware of: 1.) Currently we are credit/debit only (no cash). 2. Prices went up. Escondido City Council voted to update the Lakes & Open Space Division’s rental and user fees. New fees are available for viewing on the city website. 3.) The fishing piers in Boat Dock Cove are closed due to public health concerns related to the ongoing Covid -19 pandemic.

Catfish can be found throughout the lake but are particularly active at the West Buoy Line. Mike Hernandez, a Wohlford regular, while out searching for a trophy bass on Sunday instead hooked into a hungry 26.90# catfish who went after his bass lure. Mike would have preferred a double digit bass, I am sure, but the catfish did earn him a free boat and permit being the largest of the month. Lake Wohlford cats are partial to shrimp, cut mackerel, and chicken liver.
