^^^^^^^That just happened ^^^^^^^^
There is a legal term when a 3rd party not involved in a case but has an interest in a case get's involved. (I'm invoking that now) Pete in my opinion and many others is the best fishermen on this board. He is also a straight shooter, who doesn't get involved in petty arguments. (I should know, I'm one of the worst culprits for that) So for anyone to questions this man's credibility is insane!!!
I am also (my turn) the biggest attacker and ex-plainer of people making inappropriate responses to writer of fish reports. This is a classic example of what not to do!!! So when people wonder why their isn't more fish reports on here. This is a classic example of why!!!
I never said he was a bad angler and agree he probably is the best angler on this board, but do question his numbers produced to benefit his guide service.
As I stated earlier, my sons and I fished with Pete a couple of years ago, and we did quite well in 25+ mph winds. It was the windiest day I have ever experienced at Perris. We were still able to catch fish. I had just started bass fishing, and the trip with him definitely changed my game. My son on I caught 17 bass in six hours on Easter Sunday, and all but 3 were over 5 lbs. We would have easily had 30+ if we didn't have to leave. Do I do well every time out, absolutely not. I see Pete out there often and he is usually smashing them. I for one appreciate his posts, and hope he continues. If you don't like his posts, feel free to ignore them.
You really shouldn't have to worry about calling people out on fish reports (that's my job!) lol All kidding aside, you've only made 77 post in 3-4 years. I've made close to 4,000 and I am (not to brag) the number 1 writer of fish reports on this website! So if someone get's out of line (I am there) and Pete did nothing wrong! Plus I am the number 1 defender of this website to the false allegations made on here.
Fishing is fishing and sometimes they bite and sometimes they don't! I went fishing yesterday at Lake Henshaw and the only thing I caught was a Hat!! (I snagged one on the bottom) So if someone uses Pete's services that person is not guaranteed a bunch of fish! (if you book a bass guide for that reason you are a fool!) You should book a Bass guide to learn something about Bass fishing you didn't know. Or to learn something about the lake you didn't already know without an experts advice.
If you looking to book a guided trip and be pretty assured to come back with a whole lot of fish. Book T/O's guide service!!! I never thought I would be plugging that guy. But I seen the results too many times (the famous glory picture of the fish in the bow of the boat) to know you will catch a lot of fish almost every time with him!
For what its worth, gang, its good to see a little bit of life on the lake perris board. Between that and DVL the silence has been deafening. I know DVL is closed because of the algae, but even before that it was quiet "as a church mouse". Id include a few more cliques here, but you get the picture
The bite is decent right now but will be getting better as this heat wave pushes through. Once the water has a little bit more flavor in it the bite will improve.. I knew the bite would get tougher if the water got crystal clear.. and that's where we are at..
A little more color to the water and the bite will get sick again. The lack of grass also has an affect on the bite.. The shad are staying deeper and the bass are feeding on the tiny fry.
