Largemouth bass are becoming active in most Southland reservoirs and fishing for orangemouth corvina at the Salton Sea is “the best it’s been in ’89,” according to a lake concessionaire.
The fish are unusually big for this time of year, averaging about eight pounds, and several of 10 pounds and more have been landed. Steve Holtz, a Palm Springs fireman, caught the biggest corvina this year, an 18 1/4-pounder to top his nine-fish limit.
