View the latest Lake Perris fishing report updates for current conditions, tips, and updates.
My PB Carp 17.4 landed today by accident with nightcrawler. Several 1-3pnd bass caught as well (plastics), along with 4 large Bluegills. A few too many boaters and picnickers but still fishable. I have got to come here on a weekday. I imagine with school starting it will be better for fishing. It's just too busy on weekends.
Great Bass bite and Bluegill bite all day long. I Averaged 1-4pnd bass and slab bluegill. redworm, senkos, top water were the best. I fished from shore. Buddy was in a boat and he did great for bass.
Water temps are now in the high 70s at Perris, and summer mode is starting to settle in. Bass are still biting, but not in the numbers we saw a month ago. Overall, it's either mornings, evenings, or finesse. The morning bite has been good shallow on reaction stuff... topwater walking baits, Rapalas, and crankbaits. But after 10am, Senkos...
Water temps are now in the high 70s at Perris, and summer mode is starting to settle in. Bass are still biting, but not in the numbers we saw a month ago. Overall, it's either mornings, evenings, or finesse. The morning bite has been good shallow on reaction stuff... topwater walking baits, Rapalas, and crankbaits. But after 10am, Senkos (watermelon), dropshots, and T-rigged straight-tail worms (green pumpkin) have been best in 10–20 feet of water. It's been mostly smaller fish, but reports of an 8 and 6 pounder came in last week.
The most impressive action at Perris lately, though, has been huge bluegill. Giant, beautifully dark-colored, hand-sized bluegill are being caught on Kastmasters, grubs, and even small crankbaits. Red worms are always a go-to for panfish here as well.
If you're into carp, folks are getting into an excellent bite launching corn or cornmeal dough as far as they can off beach areas around the lake.
