Lake Perris 9/18

[Harry Hill]

Got on the water about 8:30. The water is crystal clear, you can see the bottom at 25 feet. Unfortunately I dropped my rod and reel into 40 feet of water. I hadn't hooked up any rod leashes and it was my left hand wind bait casting reel. Tough way to start the day. We launched at the sail cove and headed up the dam. I tried trolling a lucky craft for no love. I could see a lot of small bass but nothing big showing on the fish finder so I thought I would try to load up on blue gill. The problem was the small bass were hitting everything I put in the water. So lots of small bass today, fun on ultralight tackle but no pan fish. It was still great to be on the water and catching fish. A couple of fish in the 12" range but most about 8".
