Definitely 2# to 3# was the norm. I wasn't using big fish baits most of the day, so who knows? Mutiple times I'd see another catch a fish soon after I stuck one and think "That's the same fish!" Most of the decent fish seem from the same spawn. They'll grow. (If the barnis don't et'm first).
This weekend I'm going to leave the dropshotting to my backseater and throw for some bigger fish.

Hey swmb8r. What are you throwing at Perris?? I don't think I've ever come close to 28 2 to 3 pounders there;-) Believe me, Perris is a bowl in comparison. I didn't find the crowding to be a big deal. There are tons of good spots to fish. At Perris, if someone crowds you on one of the 10 or so spots to fish, it's a big deal. The one or two times it might of occurred, I just moved and caught some fish somewhere else. I was happy to put them on the spot. There were a few crowds of five or six boats, but they were on really obvious spots. I joined one for a few casts. It seemed that everybody was catching, so I didn't see the big deal.
