Puddingstone Gills gearing up
Last summer, I went out to Puddingstone lake (Sail Boat Cove) to float tube with some friends. It was there first time tubing, and despite losing a fin they had a good time. Fishing was not great for them but I had a much different day.
I always have one rod set up for the bait and wait fishing method so I can fish will on the move. Nothing more than a hook and bobber to float a half cut night crawler in the water will moving to the next spot. I have always found this to be a good way to locate some fish, makes for a more enjoyable day.
So will kick to my first spot and keeping and eye on one of my friends in the water, I get a bump on the bobber. I start to grab the rod and set the hook and the float is gone, I can feel it tugging pretty well. I reel it up to the tube and I see a decent Bluegill, so I set up in this spot and managed to catch a few more. Once that was done I moved to another location that has always produced for me.
The water in this spot has some good structure to fish so I start out worming for some bass with a 4 inch roboworm drop shot style. But there goes my bobber again, set the hook and land another nice gill, this spot really went off for me. I think I got at lets 10 to 12 from this location; all were good sized and nice colors as well.
I ended the day with 20+ Bluegill and 0 bass, but the numbers of gills truly made the day worth will. I am planning a trip this year to Puddingstone soon and I hope it works out as well as this day did, only time will tell.

Lake Perris Float tubing
Lake Perris Southern California quality fishing waters:
I wanted to share some information about a lake near me that I have found to have some good float tubing qualities. The lake I am writing about is
So my experience here at Perris while not productive was enjoyable. I ended up with one small Bluegill, not one of my more produce moments but I am writing about Perris lake because of its true potential as must truly know. My son and I hit up the dam area, as we were told this would be our best bet. The water at the time (summer of 2009) was warm stained and covered in weeds. As for Float Tube fishing this lake has some good locations for launch you tube from and some not so great places as well.
The dam area was our first choice as we could drive the truck right down to the dam and launch right on the water. Be careful as I am sure people have gotten there vehicles stuck in this area before. We had no problems other than once you drop off your gear you need to head back to park and then have to walk back which is a bit of a trek, make sure you go in pairs so that your tackle dose not go unattended. Other locations to launch the marina which is right next to the bait shop. You cannot use the launch ramp to drop off your gear so you need to carry all you gear down to the water. You must be aware that it is a long way down to the water and it is all down hill so you should take everything in one trip. Finally the other spot I was told of was in the other side of the lake, in the group camp site area. If you have paid to get in to the main part of the lake them you do not need to pay to get in on the other side you can park in the camp ground and again it is a small hick to get to the waters edge. This spot puts you close to the island which I have heard is another good spot to fish. I think this puts you on deeper water, which in the hot summer sun could be good for fishing.
Finally you should know like most lakes now there is a inspection for Quagga and Zebra Mussels which is handled at the main gate on the way in. There is also camping in the park this could be a great opportunity to turn a one day trip into a weekend fishing venture. So maybe you could make it a weekend of float tube fishing at lake Perris, let me know if you are going, I would like another crack at this Bluegill here, I have seen some monster pulled out of the lake and I want a piece of the action.
