Lake Perris 06 26 19

Got out with perris blue for a few hours this morning. Vultures were circling - bite slowed - but we managed a few good ones. We actually watched Redears spawning on the beds. I don't want to say how deep and where because I want these guys & gals left alone. There were some very big REs - was surprising. Would've been a great time to have an underwater camera. We fished 12 FOW, surface temp was mid 70s.

Those are monsters! Always enjoy your pictures!

Great bunch of fish

Awesome! I bet the X rated redear show was pretty cool. I have never visibly seen that. Water is too turbid on the lakes I fish.

Simply excellent pics and post. You finally got around to the jig colors that I’ve had in my head, quietly, for a while now. Chartreuse and white with a black head. Looks like a winner too. Thanks to you and your friend for taking us along.

Thnx for the comments guys - always appreciated

Matt - was educational to say the least. Some males (larger & larger beds) were by themselves - with big female visitors. Smaller beds with the smaller fish were like a party - saw up to 7 mid size fish swirling around one nest. I don't know about moon phase and water temp - these fish were spawning in broad daylight - today. Full moon was the 19th - I think. And - there's good size CNBGs nesting (didn't see them moving around) with them???? Activity was between 7 and 14 FOW - water temp is in the mid 70s.

Sonny I think my dream fishing trip would be fishing with you!! You always share your way of fishing for all to learn from and I have enjoyed your fishing trips for years. Always have impressive catches even on the slow days and love how the fish pose for you :cheers2 Starting to wonder if you have some kind of pixie dust to calm the fish for pictures :)

Weird year, thought the redear would have finished spawning long ago. From the looks of things they are on the auto pattern now. Very nice fish, I guess the bass eat the little ones since there aren't many around, just big gills.

I just shows that sunfish have somewhat different spawning schedules on different lakes. Very cool observation Sunny!
