Bassin' Lake Perris
 

This is a report from two days including 4/9 and 4/15.

Each session was about a half day and yielded five and six good sized fish each. I didn't photograph all of them but the photo's below will provide some samples. As always the biggest one got away managing to jump and throw my tackle leaving a bent hook in the wake of my sleigh-ride.

Conditions here were definitely different than last fall with clearer water and levels coming up sufficient to flood the brush covered shore-lines. Mornings were cold (in the 40's) and water temps were in the very low 60's depending on location. Along the non-beach edges there was about 7+/- feet of water where I sat against the brush/reeds that the water has flooded into. There were some good "islands" of scattered brush and reeds protruding near the edges as well.


Here are a few photos:

Of course and as always with the LPB, beware the locals!

Enjoy!

Nice

Wow. Great job.

NIce!!!! My 1st and last attempt to fish Perris a few months ago was a failure, I got off the exit to lake and realized I forgot my Paddle!!! LMFAO turned around the 40 miles back to house grabbed paddle and ended up in Puddingstone and still got skunked.

Nice Bass! How is the water level ? Was the lake back up to normal height - full?

Nice job. I keep saying I'm going to go for green bass soon. This helps to inspire me. Thanks.

Not Full
 

The lake is definitely far from full/normal. It's just that it's up from it's low and creating the flooded edges effect. I believe the dam repairs are scheduled for completion sometime late this year. The 2018 spawn may be great if the lake is refilled by then.

Nice work!
