The bass bite at Perris is still hot, although fish have moved off the shallow brush after water levels dropped more than a foot in just a few days. Most of the action’s happening a bit deeper, just off structure, in 5–15 feet of water.

The bass bite at Perris is still hot, although fish have moved off the shallow brush after water levels dropped more than a foot in just a few days. Most of the action’s happening a bit deeper, just off structure, in 5–15 feet of water. It’s that weird spring phase where some are locked on beds, others are still window shopping, and a few rogue males are running in packs, smashing almost anything that moves.
Finesse tactics are killing it right now. A slow drag with a drop shot or Neko rig has been the go-to just outside of rocks or brush piles—especially with an SMH or Roboworm. Plenty of quality fish out there, too. Three- to four-pounders have been common, and five- to seven-pounders are being caught daily. Focus less on the obvious shoreline targets and more on that transition zone. Keep casting and moving until you find them.
The spring bite is on at Lake Perris. With water temps and beautiful weather lining up just right, bass are moving up shallow and feeding hard. Anglers are reporting outings of 10–20 fish, averaging 2–3 pounds, with bigger fish pushing 8 pounds. Texas rigs and shaky heads are doing work around staging areas near structure, especially on the east...
The spring bite is on at Lake Perris. With water temps and beautiful weather lining up just right, bass are moving up shallow and feeding hard. Anglers are reporting outings of 10–20 fish, averaging 2–3 pounds, with bigger fish pushing 8 pounds. Texas rigs and shaky heads are doing work around staging areas near structure, especially on the east and south ends. Green pumpkin is the color of choice right now. The bite should stay hot as long as the weather continues to cooperate.
Bass are easing into pre-spawn, and while the bite isn’t wide open, it’s definitely heating up with the warming weather. Finesse has typically been the name of the game, with drop shots and shaky heads doing the most damage, although a few anglers are finding fish on jigs and even crankbaits. Fish are following baits for a while before committing...
Bass are easing into pre-spawn, and while the bite isn’t wide open, it’s definitely heating up with the warming weather. Finesse has typically been the name of the game, with drop shots and shaky heads doing the most damage, although a few anglers are finding fish on jigs and even crankbaits. Fish are following baits for a while before committing, so be aware of delayed bites.
Afternoons have been better than mornings as water temps increase a few degrees (now in the mid-50s). Most fish are in the 1.5 to 3-pound range, although a few 6-pounders were reportedly caught last week. The better bites are coming from deeper water near submerged wood. Keep the presentation slow and consistent.
Bass action should continue to improve this week, but may cool off with rains expected next week.
