Hit up perris today with a couple bros for a midafternoon hunt.brought the tubes as I needed to try out some new breathable waders santa had brought :-) . got to the lake about 1:00. decided to fish sail cove since we had the tubes..the water was as high as ive seen in long time and chilly..definitly full pool. notice they got rid of the first(and now last)pier that comes off the dam.I fished 4 hours all over the cove for one bump and the big ol skunkerinoo!he hasent came around in awhile. I even fished one of my buddys live(micro) dads'for nothin.when you cant pull a bass on a live dad' from perris somethin wrong? my one bump came on the drop shot with the 4in robo worm(probably a dink!). water was super clear and could see 15+ down! very few people out. one other tuber, couple shore casters, a boat out deep sittin on what must of been a rock pile or?. something got to happen because as woodchuckr said perris is definitly sleeeepin!... maybe its the weather!?(aahahahaahahh!good enough for me!) thats fishin.. KEEP EM BENT!!!!! PHISHuntR
P.S. one other wierd/intresting point, not a lick of wind all afternoon! somethin wrong here....

I got to Perris at around 6:30A this morning.. and ended the day about 6 hours later.. got a couple follows, but pretty much nada for the most part. Skunked again.. that makes it three in a row now. I fished mostly ospreys, hammers, and the new swimbaits I got from BWW--I'm pretty stoked on how they work, but I still like the ospreys a little better. Lotsa boats out there as there was a tournament. Saw a guy land a nice 5 pounder in the dam area using a finesse jig.. but that was about it.. Didn't really get windy and the weather was warmer than usual.. got hot pretty fast too.
I happened to see a poloroid of Mark's fish posted in the concession.. nice fish! Mark of Performance Tackle, Los Alamitos also landed a fatty (8 and change) using a generic off ranger point yesterday. I'm curious as to how the guys in the tournament did..
