Carp
Escondido, California, offers surprisingly good Carp fishing opportunities in its various lakes and reservoirs. Dixon Lake, in particular, is known for its healthy population of Common Carp, some reaching impressive sizes. Spring and fall are excellent times to target them, as the water temperatures are moderate, and the carp are actively feeding. Pre-baiting a spot with corn or boilies can significantly increase your chances of success. A local tip: many anglers find success fishing near the dam or in weedy areas. Method feeders loaded with pack bait are a popular choice, allowing you to deliver a concentrated scent trail to attract the carp. Be patient, as carp can be wary, but once hooked, they provide a powerful fight. Remember to use barbless hooks to ensure safe catch and release, and always practice responsible angling by properly disposing of any trash or leftover bait.
