Miramar Lake is a popular fishing destination located in San Diego, California. Anglers can expect to catch a variety of fish species including bass, catfish, bluegill, and carp. The lake also offers non-fishing activities such as hiking, biking, and picnicking. Fishing tips include using live bait, fishing near drop-offs and underwater structures, and targeting areas with submerged vegetation. The best time of year to visit is during the spring and fall seasons when the weather is milder and the fish are most active. Average temperatures during these times range from 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit.
The best fishing is in depths of 6 to 20 fathoms from May to June and from November to December, though they can be caught year-round. When hooked on light tackle, the sea bass fights hard all the way to the surface. The action is fast and vigorous, and in spite of its small size it is very much a game fish. Most are caught from anchored or drifting boats by bottom fishing with baits or by jigging with small metal jigs, while some are caught from docks, piers, or the shore. The following are fishing methods used to catch this fish: The tail or caudal fin is rounded, and the top ray of the tail fin is typically elongated in larger specimens. The dorsal fin is marked by several oblique, white spots arranged into stripes, and there is a large dark spot on the last dorsal spine. Large males of the species are sometimes known as humpbacks because of the visible rise or hump just behind their heads.
