The bass bite at Lake Elsinore has slowed down slightly, but anglers are still catching fish. Preferred lure choices vary among anglers. Some report success only with drop-shots and ned rigs, while others claim reaction baits such as chatterbaits and swimbaits have been more effective. Regardless of the method, most fish caught have been small.

Catfish activity is increasing as the weather warms. Anglers are catching fish using cut mackerel and chicken livers, especially during late afternoons and evenings.
