Fishing w/ Team Trucha @ Perris Lake, CA

[UrbanAngler]

i took Team Trucha out for their first warmwater outing. got to the perris gates at 6am, and met up with Bass Freak and Toyman (Inland Empire locals) at the marina. after meeting up we headed for lot 11/12 for no love. the weeds are are out and choking the shoreline.

"morning shots @ lot 11/12"

"Team Trucha not sure how to fish for bass"

"my pops with Bass Freak and Toyman in the background"

"Nickymouse8(my primo) with Team Trucha heading out to the next location"

after getting frustrated with the weeds we decided to hit up the east side of the dam(bernasconi) for no love.

"bernasconi area "

"third stop was at the fishing dock"

"my bro-n-law of team trucha lands his first bass"

seeing my bro-n-law land his first bass, gave me some hope in landing my first perris bass. the sun was out in full force team trucha was burning out and they decided to call it i day, so i decided to hit the dam where i met up with Bass Freak again.

landed my first perris bass on a 4.5" robo (baby bass) texas style" off the dam

it was tough out there but i still managed to beat the skunk.

That lake sure looks familiar  ;D

Glad you had a good time!

Nice job.  I miss that lake, bass in OK are the same.  It's about to start going off out there.  The whole shoreline between that handicap dock and the d**n will be full of shad... and bass.

the weeds are out right now, so it's a little difficult for me(being new to bait casting and only fishing texas at the moment). is kind of stranged that the weeds are out, because the lake was bluestoned twice during the end of last year.

i've been doing ok on the dam and the marina area "on the fly". bluegills and smaller bass put nothing big enough to report though.

Fish that split shot rig on spinning, not your baitcaster.  Blue stoning that lake is the worst thing they can do.  True, the weeds make it tuff to fish from shore, but the fish need them, especially now that the lake is so low and all of the rip rap on the points is out of water.  I'm going to have to make a trip back out there if they ever fill that lake back up.

thanks for the tip.

blue stoning is common procedure in many of the lakes surrounding my area.

i think the reason why is to limit the summer algae blooms and  aquatic plant growth.

Hey Urban, Fishntime here.  Perris has ben going off latley, Im talking limits by 8am and Fattys up 7lbs are common.  Get out past the weeds and slowly twitch your presentation.  You ll catch some good ones for sure.   Good luck and shoot me a pm if you need some specifics.

I've been fishing "your area" for over 20 years. I just moved this month. Blue stoning is not to prevent late summer algae bloom, all it does is destroy habitat so the boaters and shore fisherman don't have to deal with the weeds. It's the worst thing that happens to the lakes down there, well that and all the meat fishermen.
