I went fishing this past Monday and found lots of little tilapia along the shoreline. The last time this happened, fishing was crazy the following summer. |

A 4wt flyrod with a 5wt floating line would be quite nice for these 6-15" tilapia. A medium action rod is good for this kind of line-flinging (soft, easy casting). Inexpensive DT line would be good(no need for very long casting) - 15 to 20-foot casts. A nice inexpensive reel is the medalist 1495. The one-size heavier line would beat the wind. A 9-foot rod is better to work against the wind (try side-arming the false casting to beat the wind, too). You might even go two sizes bigger with a 6wt line. The floating line acts just like a bobber, except it doesn't spook fish & you can see the tiniest bite move the line (you might use a bright yellow line so you can see it "move" on the water from a bite). An 8ft. leader made of a 6ft. 17lb.piece of mono tied to a 2ft. piece of 10lb. mono would work good (the hook should turn over well). You could tinker with the mono leader pieces to find a perfect combination. Use a bare bronze sz. 6 hook with a small piece off a large nightcrawler or a whole, very small earthworm. You might experiment with a single kernel of corn or a single green pea (squish it a bit), or a several small maggots thread on the hook. These baits will not fly off the hook when the flyline is thrown. Cast the line out & let the hook sink down vertically thru the water column, then let it rest for a minute. Be a good line-watcher; watch the line to see it move forward from a bite. A bite could happen anytime during the descent of the hook falling to the bottom. Repeat this, moving here & there. Would an artifical fly work? Perhaps a black gnat with an extra thick body daubbed liberally with smelly jelly - this might work. You might twitch it along very slowly (give the fish time to see it & smell it), but keep it steadily moving. Tilapia are truly the Salton Sea's gift to the public for recreational angling. Extremely lucky to have such a fabulous warmwater fishery. A 10-12" tilapia battles as hard as if latched onto a two to three pound bluegill. A 15" fish is like smallmouth bass times two. Very strong, hardy fish, & kinda neat to look at; like a gray, barred peacock bass. Good fishing to all! |

Aloha,
I'm attending a convention in Desert Palm the first week of November for and was wondering how is fishing at Salton Sea, Ramer lake, etc. around that time of year.
I remembered back 20+ years ago my family went fishing at Salton Sea and we were catching fish all day. By the end of the day we had 3 large coolers filled with fish.
That was one of the best fishing experience I had.

Was down Memorial day weekend. ('06)
Caught like 35+ Tilapia in 2 hours.
Sometimes I would hook one 30 seconds after casting my bait in.
Lots of fish and lots of fun. |

Tilapia return at Salton Sea but outlook is dim for marine species
Jim Matthews
Inside SOCAL
Tilapia have made a remarkable comeback at the Salton Sea.
Rangers at the state recreation area and Department of Fish and Game biologists say anglers are again filling ice chests full of tilapia. The popular gamefish weigh a half-pound up to 1“-pounds, with most fish on the small end of that scale.
But the marine fish that made the Salton Sea famous - corvina, croaker, and sargo - are conspicuous by their continued absence.
"They are absent by any means of detection. It has been over two years without a single sighting of a single fish,'' said Jack Crayon, a DFG associate fishery biologist working on the Salton Sea Program from Bermuda Dunes.
Since the spring of 2002 when fish population crashed at the Salton Sea, the DFG has been doing quarterly gill net samples, with the most recent effort just two weeks ago, according to Crayon. The samplings represent more than 6,400 net hours of effort (a net hour equals a six-foot high, 150-foot long net in the water for one hour), and not a single corvina, croaker, or sargo has been caught in these nets since 2003. There also has not been a single report of an angler-caught fish, and Crayon said they have not found one of these once-popular gamefish when combing through thousands of fish that have washed up on shore during annual dieoffs caused by oxygen depletion.
"They're not out there hiding someplace,'' said Crayon. "As a fishery biologist, after three years of surveys, I don't expect a return of the marina species until we begin restoration of the Salton Sea - and at that point, we'll probably have to restock them.''
Biologists have been predicting the death of the fishery at the Salton Sea since the early 1970s because of rising salinity levels, but each time the sea was seemingly on its last gasp, there would be a miracle of nature in the form of El Nino rains that brought a much-needed flush of fresh water to the salty lake. For more than three decades, the marine species dodged the salinity bullet.
Ironically, Crayon said the death knell for the corvina, croaker and sargo turned out not to be salinity.
"We lost the marine species at a lower (salinity) level than we thought we would. We underestimated the impact of nutrient levels. It turns out water quality kind of trumped salinity as the grim reaper,'' said Crayon.
Unlike tilapia, all of the marine species are open-water spawners and feeders, and the high and growing nutrient load in the sea depletes oxygen levels over vast areas, making nearly the entire Salton Sea an anaerobic system at times during the hot summer months. This caused an almost total fish dieoff. Small numbers of tilapia survived near shore where constant wave action keeps the water oxygenated, but few if any of the other species survived.
Many long-time anglers want to believe that the current boom of tilapia numbers will be followed by corvina and croaker comebacks. It's happened this way before. An avid angler, Crayon doesn't want to be this messenger of gloom, but he says "don't hold your breath.'' While the DFG's sampling wasn't near as extensive in the past, previous dieoffs were never so dramatic. A few corvina and croaker were always present. Until now.
"You can't argue with a gill net,'' said Crayon. "We lost all marine sportfish.''
But the good news is that the tilapia are recovering, booming even. Crayon said this is the strongest spring for tilapia numbers since the DFG began extensive quarterly surveys in 2002. |

Fish for tilapia yesterday (Mecca Area). Between 4 of us we caught at least 300 tilapia from 6 to 10 inches. Great on ultra light tackle. We kept about 50, all in the 10 inches range. Salton Sea is now WIDE-OPEN but only on tilapia |

The secret to good fishing isn't the salton sea, but half a mile away. There's a canal on the north shore that produces some nice bass and catfish. I've caught a 4 pound bass and have seen bigger, and catfish are HUGE and it's pretty cool because you can see the fish from above. I've also caught caught crappie and an unknown fish. The bass love mini jigs. |

Just got back from Salton Sea fishing for Tilapia and Corvina. No luck on Corvina but caught a dozen small Tilapia. My kids were disappointed of the size of the fish. So we did not stay for the almost guaranteed sunset bite. Hopefully the corvina will stage a come back. The water look good overall. Maybe by October the tilapia will be bigger. |

Hi
I was at the Salton Sea over Easter weekend , me and my father in law fished for about 3 hours with night crawlers , we must of landed 20 talopia about 6 or 7 inches . We have not seen any Corvina or other species in a about 4 years now, I think it is time for the DFG to get a handle on the situation and restore the sea. |

So I went out to the Salton Sea. I would NEVER recommend anyone eat anything from that water or touch the water. The sea is DEAD. All day long we drove all the way around the lake and saw ZERO people fishing ZERO people using boats. The water looks like toxic industrial waste mixed with raw sewage. Not surprisingly the main source of water to the Salton Sea is the New River which flows from Mexicali (Little Tijuana). The river is nothing more that toxic heavy metal laden industrial run off mixed with raw sewage. Here is a story about the New River http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2000/07/23/eveningnews/main217914.shtml
Again I would never recommend that anyone go the Salton Sea for recreation, if you want to so see the train wreck which is the Salton Sea and gawk and the carnage then be my guest. While you are out there check out Salvation Mountain

3-29-06: Tilapia feed mainly on plant matter, and nightcawler pieces are very effective and used by most on the sea. I have also caught tilapia on green peas, jigging with hopkins spoons and other trolled lures. I would stick to nightcrawler pieces from shore, and perferably from a rocky jetty. A couple #6 hooks above a small sinker will work fine, and tilapia can be caught close to shore so long casts are unnecessary. Some anglers use bobbers and do well also. A California Sportfishing license is required when fishing the salton sea and must be displayed above the waist. Unfortunately, the corvina, sargo and croaker populations have been decimated due to high salinity and other factors. I still pin a live tilapia on another rod and try for corvina but I think winning the lottery is more likely than catching a corvina today. Hopefully, in the future the improvements to the sea and its water can be made, and result in a corvina rebound. Finally, and most importatnt - green water is oxygen deficient and will not produce fish. Always fish in brown or rust colored water. Move if you have to. |

I've seen them yank in tilapia from the shore at the State Recreation Area on the northeast coast. Easy to launch a kayak there. It smells bad, but it is not toxic or infectious, just hydrogen sulfide. |

I grew up in the Imperial Valley and fished the Sea almost weekly through the 1960s and into the 1970s. I returned once in the 1990s and caught lots of tilapia and a few corvina.
I have read and heard that the corvina, sargo and croaker populations are down. Can anyone provide current information about when and where to fish for what? My son would like to try our fishing kayaks on the Sea. Thank you very much. |

2-24-06: With warming water, tilapia have returned to feed in the shallows. Fished a couple of hours today at the state recreation area jetty and caught 18 tilapia between 7 and 10". As water temperatures rise, tilapia growth increases also, and this summer and fall some very nice fish will be caught. Haven't seen any corvina, sargo or croaker in a long time. I'm still going to do a lot of trolling with fish traps starting in May. I still don't believe the corvina and the others are 100% gone and I think a few corvina will be caught this year. |

I have been going to the State meetings on Salton Sea restoration. Kim Nichol of the Coachella Valley DFG office says there is still no verified sightings, or catch, of croaker, sargo or corvina. We need sportfishers at the State meetings to push for the construction of "fishing holes" in the constructed saline wetlands that need to be built as the Sea level drops due to water transfers. |

hey ron are they still catching crocker and sargo and if they are the crocker is the best way to catch corvina hook the crocker in the tail and let it run corvina will hit it. at least thats the way they used to do it for a long time looking forward to getting back to salton sea |

1-12-06: Tilapia fishing has been excellent thru November 2005 in many areas of the salton sea. Cooler water has slowed the action considerably but should rebound in march. The State Park jetty has been one excellent spot and getting 50 9 or 10" tilapia was common until the water cooled. I'm still getting a few fish currently but in March the tilapia fishing will be excellent again. I seldom saw other anglers at the jetty when it was great fishing - people are unaware of the rebound of tilapia I believe. Haven't seen any corvina or croaker caught but very few are trying these days. I did hear of some hunters at the duck blinds claim they saw some corvina in shallow water. |

Hello Salton Sea enthusiasts, my name is Ron Gaul, and I have been retained by the Salton Sea Coalition to be outreach coordinator for Imperial and Coachella Valleys. We are intent on restoring the Sea and reviving the fishing, hunting, birding, wildlife conservation and other benefits the Sea bestows. I look forward reading your fishing reports. As the Sea declines, we need to keep folks appraised of the urgency of this situation. Some say the corvina are gone already. Please help me document if, when and where corvina (and the other species) are being caught. Hopefully they are not gone yet.
I fish off the La Jolla kelp beds, when I have time, but I have never fished the Sea. I usually fish from an open top kayak, and I am not eager to get my lower body wet with Sea water, yet. Any good tips on where to shorecast?
The Salton Sea Coalition consists of environmental, fishing and hunting groups.
Here you will find a list of groups:

Hey to all my fello SALTON SEA fishing dudes... WELL, Theres some good news and some bad news. The good news is I did not go there and come back empty handed! The bad news is I tried every thing I could possibly think of to land a fish from that lake, nothing worked... My brother and I were the only ones fishing as far as the eye can see. We tried all the first three beaches and marinas they were closed! We then then tried our luck at BOMBAY BEACH and RED HILL. "No Luck, not even a bite" It was Very Hot out there but the water had all the right conditions for some covina Hammering "brownish coffee/tea look" Well as for that not coming back empty handed statement...
We stumbled across a old timer local at a gas station down the road (hwy 111) in the town of
CALIPATRIA. He told us that fishing has not been very good at salton sea for awhile and its a waste of time for anyone who tried (too late for us!).
ANYWAY he told us where to go for some good fresh water fishing. RAMER LAKE, FINNEY LAKE, WEST LAKE, GIESELMANN LAKE, THE DROPS, any accessable area of the ALAMO RIVER and the COACHELLA CANAL. We tried a few of these places and had a blast! any 1 of the lakes mentioned you could catch large and small mouth bass stripe bass 2-8lbs, bluegill (adult size) HUGE CHANNEL CAT 2-60lbs and some other fresh water fish. I landed a really big 12lb brown back silversided fish (no idea what kind) 5 small mouth bass from the COACHELLA CANAL, 20 fat blue gill from WEST LAKE 4 cats from the drops and alot of lost rigs from the ALAMO RIVER (this is were 30-60lbs test is needed if you're fishing for CATFISH!) The Cats in the ALAMO are crazy HUGE! me and my bro watched this dude pull in a 40-50 pound catfish right there at the little bridge past RED HILL RD. So if you like BIG CATS the ALAMO RIVER is were you wanna fish. Well anyway, that was my trip and I hope fishing returns to normal at SALTON SEA very soon... |

Hey ABE,I was wondering how your trip went.I am headed out there this weekend and I was wondering if ya did well or not.What area do you go to when u fish there?I tend to fish around bombay area and usually do really well.I use live bait every time I go.The last time I went,me and my dad caught 20 on an overnight trip out there.And about 15 of them wer 12 to 20 lbs.What a blast that was.Well hope to see your report soon.
Untill then tight lines to everyone and please help keep the sea going. |

I too am a corvina fisherman. I am hoping with all the rain that fishing will pick up this year. I will be headed there next weekend. My favorite place is Red hill. But I always stop somewhere before I get there. I have been twice ice this year but the weather was not hot. I caught total of 6 corvina. All near black rock in the Red Hill marina. There is a tree branch about .5 miles from the island.
When I go back I will set out some flyer on the outhouses and in the ranger station asking people to join this forum.
So we can keep up with what is going on at my favorite fishing hole. |

Subject: December /January Fishing
I am going to visit my brother around Christmas time and stay until after the new year. I have never fished in the Salton Sea and was wondering if anything was ever caught there during the winter months.
We will not have our boats or our float tubes with us , we will only be able to fish from bank.
What area and what bait might give us the best chances of catching some fish. Im from Texas and we catch the small sroaker on shrimp and put them live on a Red Fish Rig to catch the larger fish.
I was told that some guys use all artificial and others use flyrods to catch tilapia and hook them on live for Corvina.
I was just curious to see if any one though that in the winter months if fishing was still good off of the bank and could you catch Tilapia, croaker or corvina.
Thanks |

Subject: We hammered the Corvina on Monday. 6/25
We fished off Mecca Beach in Float Tubes and my
brother and I landed 19 Corvina before 1 pm.
5 of them were 10 lbs and above up to 13 lbs
(hand weighed on spring scale) We were using
crocidiles and yellow and root beer fish traps.
Where else in California can you go in float tube
and catch 19 fish over 5 lbs in one morning.
Go now. Live baiter did real real as well.
buy a cheep float tube a few 5 inch fish traps
on 8 lb test or higher and 1/2 oz lead heads
(hooks must be sharp) and you to can have a
blast.

Subject: small crovina
i was down at the salton sea about a week ago. In the day time not much was catching, the talopia are small. around dusk the corvine startes biting. THey were snall about 10 to 12 inches. But it was fun because you could catch them 2 at a time if you were using a 2 hook rig setup. |
