COLORADO RIVER
LAKE HAVASU— Shorepounders are still doing well on largemouth bass while working vatious coves with reaction baits, with spinnberbaits standing out as the top option. Some football smallmouth were caught on small panfish-imitating swimbaits. Big bluegill and smaller (for Havasu, talkin’ hand-sized here) redear are also in the mix, so the lake has been performing as a multi-species spot right now. Nightime catfishing has been very good. One angler landed a 25.19-pound flathead while using a 5-inch bluegill for bait to cap off a productive evening.
LAKE MEAD — Guide Noah Sanford (LasVegasSportfishing on YouTube) says the water temp is holding in the low 80s, even mid 80s in some coves. Wind conditions have been favorable (which is not always the case out here) of late and the near future looks the same. Focus on grassy areas with baitfish and throw reaction baits including topwater. Main Lake Points or steep bluffs and rockslides will produce for anglers drop-shotting or using Neko rigs in 20 to 30 feet of water.
