another good day @ LP 05 11 19

The great bite continues at Lake Perris. Was forced to tye up some jigs using QC rejects and 2 that were poured on an old style VMC hook. Amazingly they were responsible for many of the fish today.... Also been playing with foiling blades or using hi-lite on them - and that is really working out too.
Water is still going up and the temp is in the upper 60s. Still trolling between 17 to 24 FOW.

Wow, that 11.25 x 13 is just crazy and the next to last one looks like a plate with a tail! Good catch as always.

thnx guys
We got 4 days of very good Bluegill weather coming for this week - then rain. Our rain lately has been heavy drizzle...
Works out to 1.58lbs Stan

Those are nice fish.

Nice to see that you are still on some good fish and you are getting some girth measurements. Wish we would have done that with the bigger ones while I was out there. Can't wait for you to catch a 12" and see what the girth is on a fish that size. Especially if it's a tall fish. Still believe those bigger ones were 15+ inches girth. Did you find that mold yet?

Most of the female on this day had dropped their eggs. The one I measured is post spawn....
Found my Chub mold - not any of the molds Crazy Angler cut for me - yet.

I have like a dozen molds. Can’t imagine looking through all that you have. Someone smarter than me could set up an organization plan with pics and correlating numbers on the computer so you could look it up and go pic it out of a crowd.

There’s one fish that looks like a poster fish for Jennie Craig. Just fat, well fed. Awesome fish as always.

I wouldn't want to even try to organize all of the equipment Sonny has. Between the vises, molds and rods and reels, Wow!!!!! Lot's of cool tackle..

He’s posted pics of some of the vises and molds. I’m with you. It would make my head hurt.

I'm guilty of OCD with the fishing tackle & anything that involves lure crafting Tim. It was much worse when I was wrapping rods and Bluewater fishing. When me and Jim were digging through boxes - was finding molds that I didn't know anything about....

How fast are you normally trolling? I usually try and keep it under 1 mph but not sure if that is too slow or even too fast. I dished for bass for a few hours Saturday then spent the last 2 hours trying for the panfish.

Was fishing the the east end on Saturday. I'm trolling ~.6 to .8 mph - speed up when I see trees. Your line diameter and the weight of your jig should dictate your speed.

Thanks, 4lb and 1/16 I have been running around .8 mph. I was on the east end as well, tried around that flooded high spot just as you get to intothe east end area

Were you there when the jet skier was making his rounds?

I'd drop down to the 2lb test and lighter jigs - you might get a lot of hang ups there with the heavier jigs. I've been trolling further east - the end of the old road. If you stay with the 4lb and 1/16 - fish in 21 to 26 FOW. Check out my report from today.

Lately there always seem to be Jet skiers out there. I have tried finding lighter jigs online but 1/16 seems to be the lightest I can find, at least in the underspin style. Are you talking about the road that is straight off of the back side of the island across from the beach?

Yes - they took the asphalt off before they refilled it - the road bed is still there. PM Jungle Jim he knows how to tye the jigs you need. There's guys on this site that sell jigs - some might work @ LP.
