Pass the "Sportsman Baton" on before you're gone, promote values for others to hunt and fish upon.

LedHead, Once I win the lottery so I can afford to do it, I'll take you up on your offer. Grew up in Barstow and always heard of the great fishing over on the Colorado River, and down at Lake Parris, but in all the years there, I just never got the opertunity to go...

I always said I would drive anywhere to catch some nice bluegills, but.... the lake in CA is over 2000 miles from here.
That's over 30-hours plus motels and fuel just to get there, and then the return trip home.
If I were only 35-years old.....
There's some dinner-plate size coppernose where I fish in south Bama.... guess I will just have to be happy here.

Re: “Alaska”: While the bluegill fishing might not be the best, there are others species and scenery to help me get over it. lol

I’ve never been to Lake Perris....nor Lake Havasu......but have been reading about them at length for a couple of decades. There is no better bluegill fishing in public waters than Lake Perris......with maybe some of the other lakes out there. As for shell cracker nothing comes close to Lake Havasu.......the invasive quagga mussel is what turns them into giants and they are thriving. You have Richmond Mill Lake in NC but it is highly managed and fed by automatic feeders. You can fish it at a very high cost.....but I’m not sure that it is better than Lake Perris even with all the money they spend. I’ve fished Barkley.....Dale Hollow....Center Hill.......and some private lakes in TN. All produce nice shell cracker.....but don’t come close to what is in Havasu. I fish a lake in TN where catches of a 100 shell cracker a day are common with many at the 12 inch mark......don’t even come close to Havasu. But we all can only fish the waters we have and must take what they give us. While I would love to go to both places it’s just not in the cards for me. I’ll just have to settle for 10-12 inch shell cracker with an XUL rod.
