There are some good fish still on the nest to 8 lbs and the next full moon should be very good. The dropshot/T Rig bite is ok and gets better as the day warms up. Oxblood, Marg Mut, and green pumpkin are best. Not much Jig bite yesterday, but the C-rig bite is getting better each day. Is the lake as good as it was a few years ago? No. The stripers have altered it forever, but it still is alot of fun and a great place to get away from the crowd. The new "Norm" DVl limit is now about 12-15lbs and that is still a fun bag. Lake Perris has probably become your best shot at a DD LMB on a consistant basis, but DVL is still going to produce better than average limits if you work hard and follow the fish. Have a fun spring.
