Decided to do a lake test run with my new (used 06 Silverado) pickup and Wifey was undecided to either hit Skinner or Perris. The Mrs said lets go to Skinner, so we hooked up the boat grabbed a couple of rods we got to the lake around 9:30, stopped at the store and talked with Kevin. and grab some drinks. Water level is down, we were reading water temps 56.5-57F at Ramp 1. With all this warm weather I would think the water temps would be up. Rigged up the rods and lowered the DR and headed out. We were metering fish in the middle of the lake btwn 15-30'. The stripers are hitting now. Stripping White flies are the ticket, we managed a couple of schoolies before 12pm. There were 3 other boats out there and one limited out by 11am. We came up on floater was not sure what species-looked like a baby carp?? Idk? Left around 2pm to pick the kid up at school. It was a beautiful day out light breezes and fish are biting. Maybe 10-11 boats in the lot. The guys on the points are getting stripers on chovies too.
What type?
Socal weather at it's best: 3 more weeks I'll be trolling Lake Mojave:
Tight lines....Good luck. BTW lot of water is coming in at the inlet now
