Got to Perris at about 6:30AM and was the first person there on this grey, drizzly day.
Thought there'd be a good bite with the storm front moving in, but not quite here yet, and with the my moon phase calender showing it was supposed to be on... very light breeze and got a little wet from the on/off drizzle, but an awesome day for me anyway.
Started dropshotting in 15-20ft near the submerged rocks for about 20-30 minutes with no bites, then moved to pitching plastics into the flooded brush on the east shore and caught a 2#er or so within the first few casts, then cast to this submerged tree that stood out to me and hooked up with what looked like at least a 5#er when I got him to the surface, then he/she made a run under my boat and snapped off my 6lbs test mono and I was pissed! Made a few more pitches to a couple other spots down the line with no bites, then went back and ptiched to the same tree where I got the 5#er and hooked up and landed this 7lbs. 12oz toad... my biggest largemouth to date.
Caught two more 2lbs class largemouth throughout the remainder of the day (was there from 6:30AM until about 12:30PM.
I tried linking the pic to the facebook URL, but it just came up as a red "X"... wtf can't FN just make it easy and let me upload the damn pic to my post? This sucks... maybe someone who reads this can explain to me how to properly add a pic?
