I always had great luck trolling / drifting along the dam. But when we trolled we were using downriggers on a boat. Much easier to keep the baits down in the strike zone. You can always locate schools of shad and drop down Kastmasters / Phoebe's on them as well.
Question: Why not launch at Bernasconi beach and work Rock Climbers Cove for some big ass green bass? Some good bassin' to be had on Huddleston's / Optimum Swimbaits, etc.... If I were trolling I'd be trolling those a ways back working various depths in Rock Climbers Cove.

My buddy isn't so much into fishing so I want to keep it simple and we'll mostly paddle around scouting stuff. I don't have really decent freshwater rods set up anyway. I plan in getting a nice baitcaster soon and we could hit up those coves!

Ive done good there trolling little rapalas & anything silver or gold like castmasters or bouyants. I would start from the boat ramp and work my way to the dam, with most fish being caught withing 50yds of shore. Goodluck

I went out there last month, I had no luck althought I was fishing for bass. It got really windy in the afternoon and made it hard to paddle back.

Whatever you do, drift a night crawler at the same time. Anything there will eat it, I dont know about the striper though. Inflate to give it some buoyancy and drop shot it 3-4' from the bottom. Or pinch on a few split shot 12" above, just enough keep it down, and fish it at different depths. I use 4lb leader & swivel to 6lb because Split shot sometimes kinks lighter line. Drift one rod with half a worm and the other with a 3/4" piece. Pan fish will pick apart a large worm. If trout hits your half worm, have your buddy pull the 3/4" piece in and swap it for a half a worm. Viceversa for the 3/4" piece. As for Bass, cant help you there ![]() BTW, the gates are suposed to be closed weds and thurs untill the end of the month. You can still walk in. Have fun pulling your yaks up the driveway ![]() |

I went to Perris a couple weeks ago and the one trout we caught was at the point that sticks out between the boat dock and the tackle shop/boat rental-area. Caught it on a standard power mouse set-up (chartreuse trout worm w/ chart/white power dough).
Hope that helps
