The first I heard of it, and it was quite a big deal then was in February and into March. That was when there was a sudden decline in the number of "quality" fish being caught. Supposedly someone saw the DFG shocking and taking fish. Of course this is the rumor mill churning and even some high up lake officials admit they are sure of it, but can't prove it either. I know I saw way fewer 5-8 pound fish this year and fewer were caught in tourneys than before. Sure one guys gets a pig and the other forty teams get a sack full of 2.5s. Of course I shouldn't complain since I caught the unofficial biggest bass out of Perris so far this year, but that was my one golden day and one of the few I saw this year at Perris. Normally the damn is loaded, and I mean loaded with 5-10 pounders during the spawn. Good sightfisherman that cover the damn will all tell you in years past it was unbelievable, especially in March and early April. This year I saw one fish that could go over 10 and a handful of smaller ones. Something changed and we will probably never know the real story. Maybe the fish developed a smart gene and are hiding somewhere in the lake that most of us can't find yet. Fortunately it's not our only lake around so it's not the end of the world. Maybe in the long run, the obvious void of quality fish will allow the abundance of rats to grow into quality fish and the lake will get good like it was four or so years ago. Of course this is just my two cents jingling in the rumor can.
