Lake Ramona is a lake in San Diego County, California.
Lake Ramona in San Diego County is a lake in California and covers about 60.5 acres.
Lake Ramona is compact enough to fish slowly, but a change in weeds or bottom can still split it into separate patterns.
Fish listed for Lake Ramona include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Green Sunfish, Largemouth Bass, Redear Sunfish, and Rainbow Trout.
While looking for black crappie on Lake Ramona, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops.
While looking for bluegill on Lake Ramona, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.
To begin with largemouth bass on Lake Ramona, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.
When channel catfish are the target on Lake Ramona, fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.
Other targets listed here include Rainbow Trout, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig; try deeper shade during summer afternoons, then keep a worm ready for a slower check.
Start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it; check rock and weeds as separate patterns, then try natural colors in clear water.
In spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace; fish a small bottom change, then check both sides of the point.
A light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control; watch for food before choosing lure depth; check the clearest edge before moving, then make short moves after each pass.
Record the wind, water color, depth where the school held, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce; try the strongest cover, then test the drop before leaving.
