I guess that means that there must be some fish in this lake.

Does anyone have recent experience fishing Lake Hodges in a kayak? I have never done it but am considering giving it a try soon. Anyone else interested?

I called city lakes and was told that Hodges is open on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. It costs $2 to launch a kayak and $8 for a fishing permit.

I love to watch LMB roll on the shad. One time at Otay I watched a roll going on for almost 3 hours. The best part is, the bass that are rolling are usually big. I landed my first 5# LMB that day. Then the next week it was on again. 2 5#ers that day.

Hodges use to be one of the Best Bass lakes in San Diego. It's coming back up, but I don't think it will ever get back to the level it once was.
