LAKE PERRIS GILLS

[JUNGLEJIM1]

First,I'd like to thank Ledhed for being a great host on my fishing trip to Perris. Got to fish with mealworm and baitmaster as well one day.My biggest gill and redear were caught the first day and of course I left the camera back at the house. Sonny took a couple pictures of the biggest gill,maybe he'll post it for me. I caught many gills in the 7-9 inch range but couldn't get into the really big ones that are there. I still caught lot's of fish and even had a few doubles. Duck jigs took the majority of my fish. The last day I commited myself to using boolie jigs in black and white. We trolled with the black and I casted the white along the dam hoping for crappie but the gills were all over both baits. I'll post more pics later.View attachment 9View attachment 1View attachment 2View attachment 3

Glad you had a good time - like the looks of that party boat. Never see any other boats out on that lake...... avoiding the high traffic areas or is it just not used for recreation much?

That picture of the sunrise over the mountains is beautiful!

I definitely plan on getting back out there. We fished the same spots as last year that produced gills over 10 inches plus a couple of deep water spots that have produced big gills in the past.I guess the bigger fish weren't hungry,lot's of food for them to eat and we were marking tons of fish on the locator everywhere we fished. We even tried night fishing,Led caught a bass over 5lbs. There are some big crappie in the lake and the dock fisherman were catching some up to a lb. or so. Need to give the marina docks a shot for those.

Looks like you enjoyed the time on the lake. Great pics and look forward to seeing the biggest gill.

You went out with a couple of the most knowledgable Bluegill/Redear fisherman that regularly fish Lake Perris. Could not ask for better instructors on getting a big trophy panfish at that lake. I gotta get well so I can get back out there!

We didn't have Fabi with us Jim - that's what she told me. The heat didn't help much either....

Shea misses you.
