LAKE HAVASU— Anglers are starting to report running across shallow areas swarming with spawning smallmouth bass, and catching nice ones is pretty easy once they’re located. Striped bass fishing remains good and it seems like it’s getting better. Don Brockman (of Freelance Sportfishing fame) bagged a 12.4 pounder among gobs of smaller ones. WON Lake Havasu Striper Derby is less than a month away, and there’s been an exciting “optional” side pot added to the tournament.

LAKE MEAD — Striped bass fishing for 4- to 9-pound models has been best for anglers using live shad netted out of the lake for bait. Piling up 20 if not 30 stripers in a day is definitely within the realm of possibility. There have been reports of largemouth bass in all stages of the spawn at Temple Bar. Catfish are being caught from shore in good numbers in most popular bank fishing areas.

LAKE MOHAVE/WILLOW BEACH— Some nice striped bass are really showing up in Lake Mohave, and it’s not just Willow Beach as WON received plenty of reports of 7 to 12 pounders being caught in the Main Basin and surrounding coves closer to Davis Dam. Trolling flies on leadcore has been very effective of late. They are absolutely biting for boaters working out of Willow Beach Marina, and some to 7 pounds have been caught on the Fishing Pier with the best action coming at night.
