Crappie Slaying at Elsinore 04/09

[formosa]

The launch fees are $20 per boat. a fishing permit is only needed for shore fishing. If you're taking the boat out.... anyone/everyone on the boat doesn't need a permit to fish.

how much they charge to fish at marina? did you saw any fish at shore? thanks for update.

[TheRiver]

Yes a fishing permit is needed for shore fishing and cost $10
Yes there were some fish landed from the shore. One guy had caught 8 as counted
in his basket and another who had fished for 4hrs, had 4 fish with three being nice slabs.

There's a lot of huge crappie in the lake and the really hot bite (slaying) has not really even started yet. As the weather gets warmer the bite should go off, even from the shore.
There were a lot of shore anglers on Friday but not everyone was hooking up. I did notice guys netting shad and in turn using them for bait. May go out Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. I will update.

hope your pole bends..........

thanks for the heads up. would try fish elsi wed morning. yeap this year is way late, last season it was over now.

Wow- did not think of Elsinore for crappie- I know that the Perris crappie bite has been growing the last couple of years, with bigger and more fish- Elsinore as well?

Not close to last year's type of action but we also managed to get a few, ha!

I am sure there will be a rush of fisherman going out there very soon . LOL

[TheRiver]

Yeah! with 721 views and counting I'm sure they'll be some anglers going out there real soon.
I think they will pick up even more in the coming weeks. I think the off and on weather have the fish (and their seasonal habits) a bit confused.
If we catch tons again on Tuesday (or Wednesday) I plan on giving some away to the shore fishermen. Don't really know how they'll (crappie) do after the rain but we'll see. Hopefully I'll have more pic's

good luck to those who are going out!
