February 27th, Saturday
Started the day off right launching the float tube out of the inlet/outlet buoy line by Bernasconi Beach at Lake Perris at about 7:30 in a light rain. Wind was gusting pretty good from time to time, which made tubing difficult to say the least. Plus with the rain that got harder as the day progressed, coming and going, staying warm was uhm, ahh.........challenging. Did tough it out till 9:30 and ended up boating one bass in the 16-inch category on the Carolina rig. Got the skunk on the dropshot. Worked the buoy line north and south, then east to west. Also worked the rock point that sticks out before you get to the inlet/outlet a bit for crappie and bass, but no takers. Saw one guy in a bass boat out there getting blown around like a "top". You mister are a "die hard". Did see some splash action inside the restricted, "Keep Out or Else" buoy line, but to far away make a cast to. This pretty much sums up my frustration:

At 9:30 decided to leave Perris as my hands were starting to feel like "clubs". Went home ,dropped off some equipment, and then headed over to DVL to check out the shoreline bite. Worked the first three points west for one bass in the 2.5 pound range on the dropshot. Saw maybe five or six other shoreline guys out there. Most of them split when it really started pouring and gail force winds started blowing in. They had a big tourni with a big "circus looking bigtop" set-up with a big barbeque grill and organizers were expecting some 100-boats. They only ended up with 21 boats mainly due to the weather. Did see Bill Semintel and the BBZ boat working a point right in front of me. Bill is new to fishing and I volunteered my services to show him a thing or two if he wanted to pick me up...hehehehehe. At about 12:00 I got sick of fighting the wind and rain and called it a day. On the way out someone asked me if I would give a few heart felt comments to guys in the tourni at the weigh-in. Here's what I said in regards to the frustration on a tough day and the sacrifice all the anglers gave in the wind and rain:

After that I shared some barbeque with the guy and lady sitting in front of me in the video and then went home. It's still real to me, dammit.
