Lake Perris - HORRIBLE FISHING CONDITIONS!
Went to Perris to try out my new rod and reel combo I got for graduation.
It is a KVD 1100 CXE Reel (http://www.basspro.com/Quantum-Kevin...10407/-1760445)
with a Bass Pro Shop 7'0" MH Fast Action Graphite Trigger Rod (http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shop.../44304/-948548).
The conditions looked great at the beginning of the day, overcast and glassy water. But after the fog burned off, there was no fish even near the shoreline. Some "bait n' wait' fishermen were catching only bluegill and I only saw or heard of one Bass being caught all day. My issue was all the bait n' wait fishermen basically hogged the shoreline with 3-4 rods each. There was no where to cast because you would get hung up on their line like I did on my third cast (and I was far away from their set up too!). Therefore, I will not be doing any shore fishing at Perris except where there are NO bait n' wait guys.
I think the storm that came in this last week caused the barometer pressure to change and drove the fish deeper. Also I noticed the once prime green brush along the fish-worthy shoreline was very mossy and dying, which means there definitely is no Bass hanging out around those high alkaline structures.
On top of it all, I rolled my ankle walking on the shore. Well there you go! I did mess around and caught a Bluegill on a small Bass Pro Shop Squirming' Shad jig because I was frustrated there was no Bass bite (from shore).
I'll get them next time!

i havent caught anything at perris in about a week, and everyone i ask around hasnt caught anything really either. i was out sunday morning on the east end of the lake and i saw 1 person from 6am-11am catch 1 small trout. everyone else i talked with said they havent caught anything. even on the sail cove shore & dam i havent seen anyone catch anything.
*edit* looking to go somewhere else tomorrow morning as me and the wife are getting discouraged at perris

First you guys had a front move in the last two days. Second:
Either the lake is turning or the fish are funked from the moon OR they are fixed on baitfish. Or all three.
Not to mention some are likely even still buried and busy.
About to get even worse right now with the bluestone, unless that triggers them.
Be ready or not. Gonna go off pretty soon one of these days.

When is the lake scheduled to get the Copper Sulphate? But you know what? I have fished the same day after they "Bluestoned" it, and I have caught fish, so go figure...

I was on perris on Sat. May 21. Only caught 1 small red ear next to the island.... didn't see anyone else catch a thing .
Parked the boat at the marina at noon to fill up on cold drinks and saw one guy catch 2 baby trout...in a sea of humanity.
Decided to make a move to the cove next to Inlet Pump....aka Bernisconni Beach? Wide open on the Bluegills. Even the Oriental Dudes from shore were catching them. Used red worms at the start.....but when they started boiling... we switched over to small white minijigs and dropshot berkley power minnows. We even caught 2 bass!!! Great fun on super Ultralight rods!! Sorry no pics.... I usually dont bring a camera on gill fishing trips.
With the water being a bit higher this year, there seems to be less shore access on the inlet side of the lake.

Well, that is the last time I am going to Perris without a boat. I will wait hot summer to fish the dam with YUM Dingers, they are money.
