Lake Perris 3-16

[Fresh H2O Bill]

First post in quite awhile, been really busy with Family and and was mainly waiting for Perris water level to get back to normal as well. Made it out to the lake Saturday morning for a few hours. I launched from the ramp at 11/12 and proceeded to work east. Really didn’t go too far, maybe 300 yards down the shoreline. I ended up with (6) total in the (3) hours. All fish were 2lbs+ with the largest pushing 6lbs. The rig was mojo with an 18” leader. Baits that we’re productive for me we’re 6” Robo purple worm and 7” Berkeley power worm in green pumpkin. Fish were taken from 15’-25’ of water.

Was great to be out on my home lake again and I’m looking forward to future trips with expectations for the fishing being bright.

Blessings and tight lines!

I was out there Sunday for a couple hours in the morning. Temp was 55 on the west end and 57ish by 10:30 on the east end.

I asked a boater and he stated it was 56 ..... sorry for the late response, that work thingy got in the way.

Was out today.. Water temp 59 at noon. Might reach 60 by later in the day, but we have a slight cold front moving in with about a 12 to 15 degree drop in air temperature in the next couple days..

Water temp in the shallows of the east end are in roller coaster mode currently. On Tuesday they were hovering at the 65 degree mark, yesterday they were back down to 59 degrees.

Yesterday was my birthday so I took the yak out. I would normally just sit out days with similar weather forecasts. I intended to just leave when it started raining, but then remembered the bass are already wet anyways. I'm glad I just stuck it out in the end. I wound up getting 6 bass in the yak, lost 3 during the fight, and had one missed short strike. Every fish I caught/hooked was in or around submerged brush or flooded timber in the 8-16ft range. Sadly the smallest was just under a pound and the largest was just under 2 lbs. One of the ones that got away was maybe in the 2.5-3 lb range. I was throwing a trap and a warpig as it's really the only way I can enjoy my time fishing. I did much better on my birthday last year, but the lake level was 15 ft lower and I believe the weather was more favorable.
