Comments and Tips:

     Like many of the smaller trout-stocked lakes in San Diego county, Miramar has a reputation of producing some record-sized largemouth bass. Lake record is 20 pounds, 11 ounces. Using soft-plastic trout imitation lures is a good method to entice one of these hogs into biting.
