Report and comment

The report is the same. Went to Perris last weekend and scratched all day for a few 1-3# fish,. Nothing really noteworthy.
What I did notice however was jet skis, wake boarders and gas burners speeding through the trees on the east end with people fishing less than a hundred feet away. Some in kayaks and some in tubes. When I mentioned it on the way out that someone is going to get injured or killed, she just said that she would tell the ranger, but it was going on right in view from the ranger tower. She also said it wasn't supposed to open to all water craft until Memorial Day too.
I don't understand why they can't make the very back newly flooded east end a no wake zone for fishing and allow the PWC's to go around the island, just not into the back at speed.
The idiots that do this are not the brightest and best.

We saw the same thing last weekend. If somebody get injured or killed, Perris will be liable. You could find at least 100 witnesses on this site that could corroborate this. We were in the newly submerged trees in the North end, and there were fools going in and out of them. This was well outside the buoy lines. We yelled at them to no avail. I have not seen a single patrol in our around the Island, or anywhere for that matter. It's only a matter of time.

What happened to the 5 mph speed limit along the westend of the island??!!

As far as I know, it has always been there since they lowered the water level. Perris needs to start issuing violation and fines for the idiots that don't have any consideration of others on the water.

It is now legal to go on plane around the entire Island counter clockwise..
They moved the buoys a few weeks ago and opened it up.

I think they need to pull the buoy line out much further because I saw a lot of boats and jet skis flying through dangerous areas with brush and rocks.. And they were getting extremely close to the fisherman who are minding their own business..
Add to that the knuckleheads that have no clue about boating safety, the lake rotation, or other boating rules and its a recipe for disaster..

The worst part is that they hold other people's lives in their hands, so we can't just let Darwin sort that one person out.
