LAKE MEAD– Trolling Alabama rigs is a good bet almost anywhere on the lake for striped bass, but Boulder Basin seems to be the top zone for it if pressed to pick one. Some anglers are piling up 20, 30, 50-plus stripers once they find them. Government Wash has been hot, and it also seems to be the zone where anglers can get them casting jerkbaits and spoons. They are also being caught around shad schools all over Hemenway. Shore pounders are still hammering channel catfish and the occasional small bass.

LAKE MOHAVE/WILLOW BEACH– The striped bass bite is consistent, and while the biters are “school sized” they are at the higher end of that gauge with many of them tipping the scale at over 7 pounds. Finding schools under birds, or just spotting boils, and trolling umbrella rigs right through them has been the way to go. Casting at them has not been effective, even when they are actively feeding. There were easily a half dozen over 10 pounds caught as well. Guide Mike Huseman caught an absolute toad of a smallmouth bass on topwater that had a huge belly and was “spitting up pieces of crawdads and shad. That bite has been decent overall on finesse plastics, jigs and cranks. No trophy stripers to report out of Willow Beach this time around. Trout are being stocked on a weekly basis at Willow Beach Marina.
