Lake Morena

Pretty sure cuyamaca still has a refund program if you pull carp out of the water and bring them up to the concession, they will refund your permit price. They are pretty thick in the shallows.

Henshaw is another good lake for those.

While I'm trolling for crappies in the mornings all you see are carp lips at the surface. All over.

Henshaw, especially in the summer.

Morena, Cuyamaca, Hodges, Henshaw, SD River, Wohlford, Elsinore, Hemet and Big Bear Lake are all good carp spots. Please do the lakes and fisheries a favor and do not C&R. Most of these lakes are overpopulated and putting them back is detrimental to the ecosystem.

Morena used to let us fish for free as kids for throwing them on the bank afterwards. Great for the gardens or trees as well. If werfless was here, he’d mention catfish bait…
