Long time, no see FNN! I've been so busy with school that I finally just snagged a chance to pick up the rod and head out the door!
A friend and I made it to Perris Lake today, and we found a nice spot near the Marina quickly and got set up.
After 20 minutes or so, we had fish on! From that moment forward, it was cycles of frantic casting, baiting, and pulling in Gills and Redear, followed by brief moments of respite. We ended the day with 70+ Fish caught, and kept our limit in some moderate to fat gills.
Everything was caught on Crickets and Mealworms, but the circkets seemed to be the real hot ticket. No bobbers, just drop-shotted between 20-30 feet from shore.
We kept a few really small ones that got gut-hooked, and all my guts from cleaning them will end up as some sweet crab and ocean bait in a few weeks.
A truly epic way to return to the water!
A few pictures to remember the trip by!
