was caught by Isiah Taylor, Oceanside, while fishing off the pier in Boulder Bay. There was a photo taken, but then the fish was released, and everyone who has seen the photo says it was probably bigger than the lake record 22.8- pound cat. Trout fishing has been good, especially for trollers working 2 1/2 colors of lead core and Needlefish or Rapala Husky Jerks. Derek and Taylor Clark, Newport Beach, had limits of pan-sized rainbows fishing with guide Curt Dills, Fish Big Bear Charter. Shore fishing has been tougher with only a few fish showing on a slowly sinking float rig and PowerBait. Bass fishing remains fair with the bass are holding in deeper water and coming up for buzz and crankbaits early and late in the day and drop-shotted baits after the surface action. Panfish and catfish slow. For more fishing information: Big Bear Sporting Goods (909) 866-3222.

is fair to good with the bite best on smaller fish on crick- ets, wax worms, meal worms, red worms, and night- crawlers. A few one-pound class fish.

PERRIS: The largemouth bass action was good this past week with fish showing all over the lake, mostly chasing shad that are running along the shorelines. The topwater bite has been good in the mornings, and plastics and reaction baits the best in the evenings. The mid-day bite is pretty tough, however, with the fish sounding down into 20 to 30 feet of water. The bluegill and redear action remains fair in the east end, around the marina docks, and at the tire reef. The best bite has been on red worms, meal worms, nightcrawlers, and crickets, but the weed beds are getting thick and hampering fishing. A few catfish have been reported around the tire reef on mackerel and fresh bonito, but the crappie and trout have been no-shows this past week. Private boats must be inspected for zebra and quagga mussels. Boats with wet lower units will be turned away. Boats inspected and tagged Silverwood or Diamond Valley will also be allowed at Perris.

Heidi Sullivan, Riverside, landed a 7-11 striper on a nightcrawler near the dam. The catfish bite is good with quite a few fish topping five pounds. Best action on shrimp, chicken liver, mackerel, and sardines fished in Catfish Alley around rocks and tules. Erik Kear, Temecula, had an 11-pound cat on chicken liver off the south shore. There will also be a catfish plant Aug. 29. Bluegill and redear are slow, but an occasional quality fish continues to pop.
