Lake Perris 06 14 19 - REELY good day

Outstanding day for #s and some very nice males. Got some close neighbors after my 3rd fish - it got worse. Guy in the back told me I didn't own the lake and that this was their favorite spot too. Thought he was going to have a stroke, so I clamed up and went to schoolin'. This is why I troll so much.

Water is full pool - surface temp is in the mid 70s. Too windy to fish the flats - more interested in catching the big females.

Tremendous day, simply awesome! What is the average weight of those big males?

You did reel nice. Despite those neighbors. That is why I like to fish during the week and early morning. fewer others to deal with.

Great job. How fast do you troll?

Awesome day Sonny! I bet your neighbors loved it when you held those hub caps up for pictures. I can see them in the background. Ha ha ha!

Nice fish. There is a method to my madness of driving long distances to fish....to get away from as much of that as I can. Can you imagine what it will all be like 20 years down the road....LOL.

thnx for the comments guys

Troy, it's hard to say sometimes. They have to get length but they need the girth to be heavy. All these fish are around a pound some over 1.5 - maybe. Perris Blue was getting some haters on facebook about kalifornia 2lbers...
Sj - around here some people do anything to get on fish. Saw these guys the week before when I had my buddy Tu and his grand nephew out - they went back and forth in front of the boat - watching us catch fish. Only reason I was there today is because of the wind.
nl - Like to go ~.6 to .8 mph sometimes 1. I'm using light jigs and 2lb test line.

I'm at a loss for any adjectives, I haven't already used, trying to describe your photos! All I know is, I really enjoy, your almost daily adventures and reports. :ThumbsUp

Marv

I’m with you Marv. All that comes out first is WOW! And then I realize I can’t drive to them in a day, or three. Wonderful fish Sonny. I think it’s the fifth picture got my attention.

I also have a bird dog on Lake Monroe, and wherever else he finds me. Won’t talk, won’t leave, and overhearing his conversation at the ramp a couple of times, is just a jerk. I try not to pay him any attention, and I’ve led him through some of the deadest water I know of. Kinda sad that after all the money he spent on gear that he can’t find fish any other way.

Oh wow Sonny, you did great. Looks like you may have caught a limit! Couple of those fish are really beautiful. Yeah I found a couple of real haters, but at the same time I found a lot of supporters. Looks like you found some "friends" too. And those guys would probably keep every fish they catch.

Seems like there are bird dogs everywhere, I have one in TN that actually goes out of his way to cruise by me to see what I am doing. But not to dwell on the negative, those are some awesome looking fish, good catch.

Nice fish you always got there. Man I wish I can go out with you to learn how to fish deep water, most of the fish I caught from shallow and they weren’t that big.

Thnx again guys - the comments are appreciated
Randy - if Lake Havasu wasn't out in the desert - I'd move there. The lake is HUGE - so many places to fish - and nobody around!
Marv - I know both of us would rather be down anywhere in Baja but when the mind is willing and the body ain't - go Bluegill fishing. LOL
Get out the calendar Tim...
Jeff - had ~40 in 3 hours - fish were hitting Auto jigs without tipping.
Stan - I shared my thoughts (without being rude) and chose to leave it at that with the "bird dogs". I'd rather be hunting the trophy big girls then dealing with people like these guys - actually it was the guy in the back. Ain't my lake and they ain't my fish.
J_B - I usually fish week days in the morning - off the lake by 10. Big fish can be found in the shallows too. I'm bringing a fly rod and my bow on Monday and Tuesday - look for a pontoon with a blue top.

Neighborhood was filling up when I left - each boat had 4 people

Great fish! Those guys in the background look so hot under the collar, wouldn’t be surprised if the lake temp rose a couple degrees!:Rofl

I love those blue bellies that you caught. I’ve caught a couple of those out of my home lake. Beautiful fish.

Really, really nice gills, and a bunch of them on top of it. And you even got to show them what they look like too. I'm sure they appreciated it.

Led Hed, I love your comment, "If Lake Havasu wasn't in the desert, I'd be their"...but my question is "don't you mean high desert, as lake LP is in the low desert, right? Or is it considered the coastal plains their...? Nice fish as always...

I cant imagine how on earth you wouldn't be ashamed of yourself ketchn all his fish bro ….
shame on you mister :Rofl
them sure are some big ones bro , mighty fine photos as well .
congrats

thnx again for the comments guys
Jd we are lower dessert and Havasu is part of the upper desert. We get hot and some wind - they get HOT and it gets WINDY out there. Haven't fished all week because of the wind - it's not too bad but enough to keep me off.
