Coppernose Bluegill Fishing on Lake Perris California
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 เม.ย. 2022
- Welcome back to the Big Bass Dreams channel! Today @OliverNgy & Stephen Kosal are targeting a subspecies of bluegill, the Coppernose Bluegill native to Florida in Southern California.
Lake Perris has a storied fishing history. Going back to transplants of Alabama Spotted Bass from Smith Lewis Lake in Alabama, it's boom as a trophy spotted bass fishery to the illegal introduction of Florida strain Largemouth. Biologists also stocked Florida Strain bluegill and that seemed to be the final straw in the trophy spotted bass fishery here.
However, these coppernose bluegill seem to be making a solid presence and provide a great opportunity to have fun, learn the fundamentals of fishing and enjoy the outdoors through a fishing rod.
We still LOVE panfishing after all these years and after all the different fish species we've had the fortune of targeting. It brings us back to the fundamentals of fishing. - กีฬา
Awesome brother. I think bluegill fishing doesn’t quite get the credit it deserves. And those were some monsters.👍🇺🇸
Damn Oliver, I miss that fishery and wish it was what it once was in the late 80s and early 90s. Hopefully people will take good care of it and it'll come back as the premier trophy bluegill lake. Thanks for sharing brither.
I'm digging the Big Panfish videos... Those Big Copper Nose Bluegill and those Big Redear 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Brings back great memories of grandpa, my cousin, my dad and myself catching those by Bernasconi beach in the 80's ❤
This is my home lake been fishing here my whole life. I remember the big bass days . But I love the blue hills they fight like crazy and taste great. And I do believe the trophy blue gill is in that lake somewhere. Would love to come fishing with y'all one day !
What beautiful little guys!!well,big little guys!! How awesome to have those in a 200 gln tank huh! Bringing back some memories 🤙🤙 keep on young Jedi 🙏❤️
Wow...good ole times. LOL SAVE ON TACKLE...MY SPOT!...MISS THE OG spot...good work fellas. Thanks.
Y'all fishing this lake and giving some of it's great history you just got a foreshore subscriber ! Thanks 👍 let's go fishing 🎣 !
Enjoyed, You Seem like you are a Really nice Man.No vulgar language. Those hugeor Strippers are really hard on spotted Bass too.
I always thought those were red ear sunfish. We would get crickets from the Lakeside store and use #10 mosquito hook and split shot, 4lb flouro and then use our graph to find schools off the dam. And also during the spawn back on the east side in the brush as you show . This was when the water was down for all those years due to the dam repair. Great vid! Thanks for the memories.
When is the best time to catch the bluegill?
👀Big Panfish Dreams 🔥🔥
Heck yeah guys! Those fish are so cool! Nice work
I have been catching those at Perris before I even knew what they were. 😆 It was a bait maker from Minnesota that told me what they were exactly. I have found several places where they school up at. I usually catch them with a tight wiggle crankbait with the hooks swapped out to sz 12 trebles. They hit SO hard. And fight even harder. 😆Good video. Shedding light on these fish. Very fun. 👍😁
Stephan always kills it out there in Perris
Nice catches! I grew up in Nuevo and heard the stories of big Spotted Bass in Perris. Never got a chance as a kid in the 90s. Might have to go back now with my kayak.
Love me some big BGs. Love the video
My home lake even though I haven't been fishing in years. My usual rig is a 1/80 jighead with a meal worm on 2lbs line
I'm getting my 2lb test rig ready for the gill bite, great video and hope to meet you at Perris some day.
All sunfish species rock!! Great content man
Great video boys!!! Sunfish for the win....we are luck to have them here in SoCal.
Went there today, only my second time fishing. And caught a nice size bass, was so excited.
Awesome... Was there last weekend.
My uncles father in law has been an avid fly fisherman for 60+years. A couple years ago he asked me if I wanted to see something different (knowing I hadn't spent more than 1 hour In total with a fly rod In my hand). He took me out in his canoe In the evening and found a decent size bug hatch. I remember him saying "hear that?" as bugs on the surface were getting Crushed. He stood up and threw a tiny popper as well as a dry fly w his fly rod and was getting smashed on surface every cast for 10min or so. Then he handed me the rod and told me the basics of casting. For an hour straight nonstop I had some of the most fun I've ever had fishing during a short period of time
Oliver , you should bring some of those copper nose gills and put them in Fairmont park in Riverside. I would greatly appreciate it 🙏.
Moving fish in California is not only illegal, but unethical. Bucket biology has ruined many fisheries. Don't do it.
Nice! 🙌🏽 💯🎣
Takes me back.
When I was a kid in SE Ohio (1970s) we used to fish at my great uncle's farm pond...maybe 2 1/2 acres. We used to regularly catch 1 1/2 to 2lb BGs (10-11 inches) and 4-5lb bass. On cane poles!!!! with worms. So much fun! When you're 7-8 yrs old these fish seem gigantic! My grandma used to fry up whole BGs and bass filets...so good. Really miss those days, thanks for reminding me.
Thanks for sharing, we love hearing stories like this!
Nice I caught bluegill and 2 gar tonight
Shad eaters right there. Love them, if they grew to 10lbs then that's all I'd fish for!! Nice work 👊👊
Bro! To never forget where we come from goes a long way 💯. Absolutely Love ur channel! Ur content is Dope! Thank you!
As a kid my uncle would take me here fishing, and we would catch bass but i always wanted to know if there was Striper in Lake Perris?
Yes, not many but there are some BIG Ones - th-cam.com/video/boiaO8ePzKE/w-d-xo.html
I caught a 3.5 pound crappie there last week on a 6 inch jerkbait while bass fishing, big fish in that lake
i havent fished there since i moved to washington state. that lake has my pb largemouth at 10.8 pounds and obviously my pb bluegill at like 3 pounds
Wow, thank you for sharing.
I have a small group of Scouts I need to get onto fish. We have struck out twice trying to catch fish. We have gone to Pyramid Lake and Castaic Lake. We were trying for stripped bass. When is the best time to try and catch these fish? We would likely be fishing from shore. Thank you for your time.
my favorite type of fishing tbh with a tiny jig
Lake Perris is where I caught my first ever crappie! like 50 of them in a day as a kid! need to fish it again someday!
lake and the sprint car races!!!
My home lake. Every summer I put down the bass gear for bit to catch some nice Gills. It's so addicting. I have a video on my channel showing how to fish for them. They looove the drop shot mealworm.
They should put some in Silverwood Lake. Nice video and happy fishing 🎣
I was thinking the same thing!
Thanks for sharing your video, love your conservation values! If you have been fishing Lake Perris for that length of time you must know a gentleman by the name of Sonny?
id go to the bait and liquor store right before the gate and my favorite way to catch those bluegill and red ear are split shotting a cricket
That looks fun. Gotta get down to Lake Perris. Any idea what the water levels are looking like right now?
I stocked my pond with 1- 3 inch Copernose 6 months ago. caught several half a pound
I gotta get some of that action 🤙
I need that unicorn black crappie from here..only ever seen one and it was a floater
Big thumbs up for taking the time to tell everyone not to harvest these big bull bluegill and how special they are. I give about 200 thumbs down today to idiots showing coolers full just to make 2 bucks off a video! Good job guys educating people!
hey its Taylor from the expo. cant believe I missed this blue gill video!
Haha glad you found it! Thanks for stopping by today!
BigBassDreams I tried the dvd on my computer but no luck haha
What other lakes have those giant gills in Southern California??
A little upset I didn't get an invite. ngl lol
Thanks for the information. When is the best time to target those bluegills at Perris?
March-October has been great for us
It’s a national travesty that this channel only has 48.8K subscribers.
I miss that water level
Fish tacos 🌮!!!
I need someone to show me how to catch crappie at perris..
Anyone else spot that fish popping out at 3:30 right behind where they were fishing ?
Carp were spawning all around
I got same size there but what lot are you guys and is it walking or gotta get on a a boat to get there I’m tired of the dock to many men Lmao 🤣
Can you please take me out so I can catch some of those giant gills? I will pay you..
What kind of bait or lures for perris lake
Florida Strain Fish get “Big!”
Brother !
What side do you recommend to fish for these bluies..north shore or bye the other south entrance ..ty
East end from the ski ramps all the way around to Bernasconi beach are great places to search for the gills! Good luck!
@BigBassDreams ty brother, I appreciate that..
@BigBassDreams brother, since I got your attention.. I have a 10 lb braid and 4lb flouro leader. On a drop shot, what weight should I use ? 1/4oz or 1oz
@@Edwardcruzz13 always go woth the lightest weight you can get away with. 1/8 - 1/4oz is usually what we use
@@BigBassDreams ty again ..tight lines
Can you catch these shoreline at Perris? I don't have a boat.
Yes, they can absolutely be caught from the shoreline! Try the launch ramp, bernasconi beach, dam and east end areas from March through May. Good luck
To me that’s the fish that deserves a fly line and lure it would be tons of fun, but on spinning reel too boring. ✌️
What’s up brother I live in southeast Louisiana and we fish rivers and as a kid me and my mom and dad would catch grass shrimp and there is 10 to 12 spots we fish and I still fish with my wife and kids we tie up and fish and as a kid we would catch 100-150 we would keep that where bigger than your hand and throw the smaller ones back all together we would catch 350-400 and out the ones we would keep we would have 20-30 yellow bass that where 12-13 inches all together we would fish about 2-3 hours but the bull bream ware so fun with a cane pole and fly rod I mess them days but having good times with my kids now
We've never used Ghost shrimp! That sounds like a great bait choice! Appreciate you sharing the story!
@@BigBassDreams grass shrimp brother 😂😂 yea we in southeast Louisiana and tidal water grass shrimp is where it’s at for bream down hear better than crickets
have you ever caught striped bass there

Yes they do
@@BigBassDreams thanks for that info. Because of you I got myself a VX 21 on the way so ill save a little now not having to buy fish anymore, hehe. Oh I forgot to tell you I have to learn how to fish next also.
