Perris info

I posted this as a last minute reply for Lake Perris. so many members might not have read it , I put it up here again. How that is OK Jeff...

A few years back, I met an older man (yes, even older than me if you can believe it!) who was wading waist deep at Sail Cove. He was catching one bass after another- nothing big, but about 2 pounds each. I slowly kicked my tube kind of close to him and ask if I could approach him. He said sure. I was sure he was using small live crawdads and ask him if that was what he was using. He laughed and showed me what he was using. He even showed me how to fish them. He caught 2 bass while I stood next to him!.. He told me that there are only 2 baits (lures) that he ever uses at Perris. I'll tell you one of them. It's the 4.5 inch curly tail Robo Worm in the Prism Shad color with a tiny sliding sinker rigged Texas style on 6 lb mono. I've used that worm and the other bait there and have done very well on them before I started to fish pretty much just for the giant Bluegill.

That is a great color for worms at Perris.

Thanks for sharing.

Great info thanks for sharing.

I actually dip the tail in Chartreuse garlic "Spike It". Seems to help, at least it did when the water was Low and green.

I plan to head out soon and float tube it with my fly rod. It be nice to catch some of those giant blue gill on the fly.

Very informative information ... thanks for sharing it with us!

SXE Shad works as well its that time guys the fall bite is starting , the shad are moving and the bass are biting

I may as well tell you guys what the other lure was. Everyone uses them now. No secret. It was the shad colored Ika, rigged with an open regular worm hook and also with the tentacles hanging down. Not reversed like so many rig it today.. I thought it was a big tube jig. He kind of hopped it along, letting it sit on the bottom for a few seconds. He caught a bass right at our feet almost! He said that there are not many snags in Sail Cove, that's why he used an open hook.
