San Vicente Reservoir, CA

Big, Florida strain largemouth bass, and lots of them, swim in the waters of San Vicente Reservoir, a 1,700 acre lake, located in the southwest corner of the state in San Diego County. In addition to great bass fishing, there is good fishing for crappie, catfish, stocked rainbow trout and sunfish.

This lake is ideally fished from a boat. Although there are fifteen miles of shoreline, fishing from the bank is pretty limited. Boating access for everything from kayaks and canoes, to power boats and pontoons, is via Lake San Vicente Boat Launch Facility on the southwest corner of the lake.
