Other than that hog, most bass at Perris are picking up worms and the occasional blade bait, it’s just a matter of determining how deep the fish are and how they want a bait presented on a given day.
“Perris bass are biting from 1 to 45 (feet deep), It’s weird right now,” said lake regular, James Montes. “I’m catching most of my fish on the fly, tailspins and ice jigs from 30 to 45. Up shallow you can get the occasional spinnerbait fish, but they are eating Texas-rigged Plastics really good and 1 to 15. Some days they want the shallow stuff to be dead sticked, other days they want it moving. It all depends on the day.”
The flies Montes is referring to are Producer Flies (ProducerFly.com) that he is trolling on leadcore line. Despite the effectiveness of the technique, most bass anglers don’t get into it and opt for standard basic-bass-bro tactics. But “flycoring” has a proven track record, especially at Perris, and anglers who put it in play also tend to connect to striped bass, giant panfish and even the occasional catfish.
Other reports are reflecting a good drop-shot bite for anglers sending 6-inch straight tails down in 12 to 25 feet of water.
