Convict Lake Fishing Report                             June 29, 2013
Greetings!

  

Hello Convict Lake fishing report followers!  

 

Hot - Hot - Hot! This statement could be true about the weather and the fishing. This week we had a great variety of baits working both on the lake and at the creek. Everything from night crawlers, jigs (Mice Tails, Power Worms, etc),  to spinners (Panther Martin, Rooster Tails, etc).  Stop by the general store to get up-to-date information on what is working out on the lake and at the creek.

 

   

Header Photo: Tristen Mast and Zack Lopez both from Temecula, CA had abundant success at Convict Creek. They caught two quality fish using Mice Tails. They landed a 2 pound 3 ounce and a 2 pound 4 ounce rainbow. Great job!

Catch of the Week: Congratulations to Becky Green of Palmdale, CA who landed a 3 pound 2 ounce rainbow.  This 3 pounder was the largest fish this week weighed in at the store. Becky was using night crawlers as her bait and was fishing at the South Shore. The photo of the fish below.

 

Other Notable catches this week:

 

Richard Raponi of Carlsbad, CA stopped by the store with a stout 2 pound 12 ounce rainbow. Richard was fishing with a black Rooster Tail at the Inlet.

 

Brian Ramirez caught a nice 2 pound 9 ounce rainbow. Brian hooked this nice rainbow with a garlic Powerbait Worm along the South Shore.

 

  

Tactics/Bait: The most successful Powerbait colors were yellow and salmon peach. Choosing a garlic Powerbait is always a wise decision. Red/gold Thomas Bouyants, Rooster Tails and Gulp Pinch Crawlers were also very productive in the lake. The Convict Creek continued to fish well this week. Try using Mice Tails, Power Worms or Sierra Slammers in the creek. The Inlet and the South Shore were the hot spots this week. Other locations to try are the North Shore, Jetty, Outlet, West Shore, Creek, Handicap Pier and Hangman's Tree. 

 

Here is a list of other baits/lures that can be productive: Trout Teasers, green or brown Marvel Fly Lures, Panther Martin, NeedleFish, Thomas Bouyants, Green Wooly Booger and Lip RIpperz Hatchery Dust on Powerbait.
