Lake Perris 6/8

[Harry Hill]

Went to give Perris another shot today. Paddled over to the island from the boat ramp but nothing was happening there. So we paddled over to lot 12 to work the brush line. The lake is still down about 15 feet but there are trees flooded now that were exposed last year. Laura started picking up some bluegill in one area so we worked it with drifts. Mealworms and crickets were the trick today. I got a personal best bluegill and a 16" spotted bass plus a few smaller bluegill. All in all a good day at Perris. The wind started coming up and it is a long paddle back to the boat ramp but we were off the water by 2:30. I forgot my hat today and I think I baked my brains but I didn't endanger anything important.
