Moving to the Menifee area.

[billyharris]

Hi,
My family and I are moving from NC to Southern Cali. It is a job move and plan to live around the Menifee area but not dead set on it. Anyone have areas to suggest and ones to stay away from?

It will probably be in early to mid January. I love bass fishing and tournaments. The last 20 years I fished Kentucky Lake, Guntersville, and several other South Eastern lakes.
Most of my experience is off shore ledge fishing, deep cranks, big worms and football jigs. I have a 21ft Bee.
What lakes in the area are the better lakes? I heard Diamond Valley can be very good and Perris at times. What can I expect from the area lakes? Only think I know about is swimbaits and drop shots. Also from what I can tell the lakes are fairly small and have speed limits. Whats the closest lake I can open her up on?

I would like to join a B.A.S.S. club when I get there and donate my money for a few years and a few buddies to show me around the waters.
Any help or information would be most appreciated.
Thanks
Billy
