Lake Perris 2/5

Well, our meet up at Perris got blown out this morning.

White caps and crazy wind at 7AM in Sail Cove.
I decided I was there and need to get in, so I launched from the relatively protected boat launch cove.

I estimated the wind to 600 MPH + or -
Water Temp 52
Water Clarity 4 feet  
Depth 3 to 17 Feet
Time 7:00 AM to 10:30AM

8#  Drop shot Robo Sculpin BabyBass
12# Reaction.......... Rapala CD Siver and Black

It was a little tricky to launch with all the wind so once I got situated I tossed the drop shot in 2 feet of water and started out. Before I  got out from between the docks the pole bent I jerked it to set the hook and landed a nice pile of weeds and fishing line and a relatively new Super  Duper in silver. I'm taking that as a good sign.

I kicked for the east bank to get under the wind and once there it was easier kicking. I really wasn't sure I could get there for a few minutes. As long as I stayed tight to the shore line it was survivable.  I seen this hawk on the shore with a decent size bass so I figured I was in the right spot

On my first pass, straight out from my friend the hawk, I landed a nice little bass on the drop shot.

Then nothing for 2 hours. I made some changes till I found my Rapala CD in Silver and Black. And I found this guy.

I would recommend throwing your Raider colors to start off.

I hope this helps.

Good stuff Jerdon! sucks about that wind...way to go on finding those 2 palyers!!! thanks for reporting

The good Ole Osprey , they are fishers for sure ... good job on trying to beat the wind lol i knew it would be bad

Way to hang tough big J. Good job.

Those are some nice fishies bro's wind or no wind you got that place locked.

Thanks Tony G., Kobra,

Wes,
Osprey you say, that is one bad ass bird. That was easily a 3 pound bass it was dragging around.

Jeff thanks,
I don't think I got it locked yet. But with the help of this forum, and Wes especially. I am a better fisherman than 2 years ago.

I must have just missed you leaving. I didn't see the suburban from the entry booth so I went down to Sail Cove. It was a total blow out. You could see a long light brown flow coming off the underwater point and building up at the dam.

Well, we can fish together again sometime. I'll let you know next time I head out. I really had to hunker down to get in the time I did.

Indeed Jerdon and they dont care how big the fish is they will drag them out of the water , i have also seen them hit and eat smaller birds in the east end .. They don't play around
