Drove up to Matt Peters' house last night and crashed. Got up early this morning and got the lake at around 6:30. Today's battle plan was to go for the gold and fish nothing but trout plugs. We were each armed with two trout rods a piece and an array of trout baits. So, we launch the boat and 20 minutes into the morning we're giving this shore fisherman some birth and matt casts out into like 25ft. with the eagle and he's running it on top of the water. Surprised both of us when he got blown up on by a 2.5lber. Nothing on the bottom, no reason for that fish to be there, it just was and it was pissed. And that pretty much concludes the action until 3:30 when we put the boat on the trailer. Super day at Perris. We had no other bites and saw very few followers, maybe 4 or 5. It didn't rain as much as we'd expected, it was just kind of raincloudy and dark out but most of the day we stayed dry. It did get pretty windy though. We couldn't have asked for better swimbait conditions but for some reason the fish just weren't on em. I didn't see a stretch of glassy water all day, it was all rippled up and dark color aaahhhh the stuff big baiters dream of... Oh well, what can ya say? It looked perfect, we did the right thing all day long without giving up (because we didn't have any other rods or lures with us...) but the fish just wouldn't cooperate.
