Toughing going there, bro.
I fished Eldo for a bit over the weekend in the mornings (trying to take advantage of early cloud cover) and couldn't catch a thing either. I did have a fish blow up on a buzz bait, but it didn't take the bait. Also saw a small school of bass in the small lake in area 3 and couldn't get them to take the buzzer either... flipped a jig/hula grub into where I thought they were and had one take the jig, but spit it before I could set the hook. Tough fishing. No other bites in two mornings of fishing. Lots of guys were throwing poppers from the shore, but I didn't see anyone hook up. I also tried tex-rigged robo worm, but that didn't generate any action either.

Talking to people around the lake (Eldo) I never know what to believe... I heard a guy caught a 5 pounder in the area you like to fish (near the kiddie train) on a speedtrap. I also heard a guy caught an 11 pounder on a popper recently. I didn't actually see any of this - so take it with a grain of salt.
I've heard the top water bite early and late can be good at Eldo, but I've yet to experience it. The water has certainly gotten more clear, that's for sure. Lots of baby bass along the shore. I've also seen some big carp busting the surface at the little lake latey.
I wish the rangers would actually patrol the lake from time to time... I'm tired of seeing catfisherman with 4-5 poles each in the water.

I got skunked myself at Perris 2 weeks ago. Last year, I was catching easy every time I went during the summer throwing a texas-rig. I agree totally with the opinion that fishing can be better in the afternoon during the summer, but the jet and water skiers are too much. Even the east end isn't a haven when the wakeboard boats buzz the bouy line to impress the fisherman with their awesome skills.
I live close to Perris, and we would hit it on weekdays after work around 4:00 p.m. NoTrollMotor

My buddy and me hit Perris on Sat 7-27, we launched kinda late around 7:20am, still foggy. We went to the east end, set the trolling motor on 4 and proceeded to run and gun the buzz baits, we only got 3 blow-ups and nothing stuck, followed each one with a bass-assasin(used to be our money bait the last 2 years)and still no going. Gave up the east end around 10 and headed over to the dam, picked up about 8 small bass on the drop-shot fishing about 15 to 25'. We called it a day around 1:30, just too much boat, jet-skier, water-skier traffic. I found about a 3 inch baby bass with a bluegill fry stuck in it's mouth, guess he bit more than he could chew. Pyramid or Piru might be next, I think we are done with Perris until the boat traffic dies down some.
