COLORADO RIVER (BELOW DAVIS DAM)– According to Rusty Braun at Riviera Marina, this area is producing good numbers of smaller striped bass, but a 22.06 pounder was caught by a kayak anglers working a trout-pattern swimbait above Community Park. The area around Rotary Park, the Nature Center and right by the dam have all been good for these smaller linesides.

LAKE HAVASU– Anglers are finding water temps in the low to mid 80s and calm conditions for the most part. Good numbers of striped bass are being caught on trolled crankbaits including lipless models. Most of the biters are in the 1- to 4-pound range. Try the area around Pittsburgh Point and Grass Island, but working steep drop offs, adjacent to river channels and of course birds and boils can all produce. White Flukes have also been turning a few striper heads. Some guys are saying their stripers are full of crawdads when they clean them.
