      Report: Launched at about 6:30AM. No bites on topwater or ripish. Lots o lookers but no takers on small trout crankbait. Went upriver but water temp was only down 4 degrees rom main lake. Caught three ish on a 4" Junebug wacky worm in back o weedy coves. Fish were buried in the weeds. Had to drop the worm on their heads to get a bite. Lost two nice ish because o my manly hook set on 6# test line. (I got excited.) Good topwater action at dusk. Had one blow up on my Chug Bug but I missed him. Sunday-one ish in weedy cove. Mayday inished

      Report: i've been ishing lake perris or 10 years now and i'm still not that good o a isherman, however, i've ished every thursday or the last 4 months, the irst 2 months without a bite, then mostly 3 to 4 lbs every time the water temp is above 61deg. mostly due to my technique,"tiny baits" on 4# test. drop shot 1-1/2" plastic minnows (rattlesnake) or in-s ish 2-1/2" in rainbow trout,ark shiner or any smoke sparkle swim bait. smother it with crawdad smelly jelly. you won't win any tournaments with this rig but you'll be getting bit a lot. it's a challengeto hang on to a 3-1/2lb bass on 4lb test. twich it on the bottom. yes you may go through a lot o hooks (snags are a bummer but in may 2000 i caught 54 bass in our hours at bernasconi beach. this really does work.

      Report: The trout bite is on; or bass it is. I threw my 7 and 9 inch trout swim baits and caught our ish while I was down ishing Perris. I was ishing the bank and caught ish at the marina, and docks 5,6, and 11 and 12.
      City: resno

      Tips: Throw the bait and let it sink down a bit; then start burning it below the surace; thats how I hooked up with my ish.

      Report: Fished the handicap dock at the dam at about 8am. I started out with top water and that didnt work. Went to the "go to bait" .....drop-shotting. Drop shotted in about 20 to 25 eet o water and caught 10 ish. I stopped ishing about about 1330hrs. I caught 7 smaller ish, 2 decent ones, and one about 3.5lbs. I used a 4" shad pattern kicker worm that I poured.....It seemed to do the trick.
      City: Fresno

      Tips: I had my bait about 18 inches above my weight. Use any shad pattern bait; pre. my brand and wait or a tick or your rod tip to load up. Cant wait until they stock trout so that I can throw my "kicker-trout". Good luck!!!

      Report: Good morning and late aternoon biting or bass along the three piers (now down to one), located in the south end o the lake. Best bass bites locate near the rocky cove, ar east end o the 3rd pier. Best trout bites 30 eet away rom the south end o the island, locating between the power boat low lane and the no boating area. Kind o dangerous ishing in this area, but great bites on the ishs. Best time to be out there is around 5:30am to 9:30am, and 3pm to 6pm. Fish will bite a bit i you have a camping light (propane lamp) hanging above the water. Throw a bit o scent materials down (I used a tablespoon o crab and shrimp paste mixed with oil), and this will attract the ish like crazy. Most o the catches were in the 10 to 14 inches, weighing anywhere rom 5 to 12 pounds. Still looking or a good spot...
      City: Azusa

      Tips: Use nightcrawlers, anchovies, crickets, and bass scent or the plastic to get bass. Use nightcrawlers, meal worms, or anyworm or the matter o act, crickets, and large bees to get trouts..especially the crickets.

      Report: This report is or anyone who is walking the bank here. Wow! Talk about hot weather!! The water is up and very clear now. We had a dropping pressure on us all morning long and we could'nt catch anything but those pesty dinky 6 to 10 inch bass! However, once the air pressure leveled o at 12:00 noon we were able to score on one good 3 lbs each between 12:00 and 1:00pm. You will ind (rom the bank) that the best place to ish is right at the edge o the weed beds which are clearly deined as a color change in dark green about 40 t. out rom shore.
      City: los angeles

      Tips: With the VERY clear water here I opted or the lite line stu again. Given the chance o a big ish here, I should have used 6 lbs test instead o 4 lbs test. I broke o on the strike twice! Split shottin' small 4 inch worms worked best or us. The best bite o the day will be VERY early in the day until about 10:00am and then the last ew hours into dusk here at this time o the year. Just watch out or the hot, hot, hot sun! Whew!!! Straw hats with wide brims are a plus!! Best o luck!

      City: moreno valley

      Tips: in the all look or breaking bass on surace make an long cast towads them and work the popper slowly pausein between jurks. slow is the key. when i ished the worm i used an split shot rig with about 14 - 18". cast popper over weeds in east end.
