LAKE MEAD — Live shad (caught in the lake) and trolled umbrella rigs are connecting anglers to decent numbers of school-sized striped bass.The Arizona Game and Fish Commission approved the following out-of-cycle fishing regulation changes for Lake Mead and Lake Mohave: Change the daily bag limit to unlimited striped bass; Change the daily bag limit to 25 catfish. These changes apply to both Lake Mead and Lake Mohave.

LAKE MOHAVE/WILLOW BEACH — Mike Huseman of River King Outdoors has been having great days on the water chasing smallmouth and largemouth bass, and he recently reached out to WON and said “prespawn is on!” He said both flavors of bass are shallow and in prespawn bite mode. “Crankbaits and spinnerbaits are getting the job done,” said Huseman. “Water temps dropped back down to 56-57 degrees from the last storm, but that’s not stopping them from being on the chew. A full moon coming on March 3and that’s going set off the spawn and things will only get better.” Some quality stripers are showing up for anglers working out of Willow Beach including kayak guys who aren’t having to travel very far, one of which caught a 17.2 and an 11.2 pounder. Trout are being stocked at the Marina weekly, every Thursday for the most part.
