She was using anchovies while fishing from shore toward the downriver part of Rotary Park. We are getting a lot of smaller stripers, and they are running at all the best fishing spots you know.

Lake Mohave Fishing Report

by ARIZONA GAME & FISH DEPARTMENT
Striped Bass, Largemouth Bass and Smallmouth Bass have all been caught at Mohave recently. Trolling using swimbaits with a shad imitation is an effective way of catching Striped Bass, while Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass can be found in coves in the early mornings. Trolling on white buck-tailed jigs and using swimbaits with baitfish imitations have been the most effective lures recently, but anchovies work well too. Special Regulations: The

These are the type of fish you can expect to find in our area. Below Davis Dam, the limit is 10 stripers, with no size limit.

The fish weighed in at 12.92 pounds and measured 35 inches in length. Nice catch, especially during a crowded weekend! The river is still producing some nice catches, mostly in the 2- to 4-pound

Our local angler, Steve Beasley, landed a nice largemouth bass while fishing from his boat. He was using a jig that usually produces a striper or two. We have a great largemouth and smallmouth bass population up on Lake Mohave. These fish are considered sport fish, and most anglers practice catch-and-release with them. Anglers go as far as using live wells to keep their fish healthy

We have our local angler, Mike Merritt, with a nice mixed bag of fish! He was targeting stripers using anchovies and ended up landing some beautiful catfish as well. We do have channel catfish in the river, and it's always nice to see a few being caught. There are plenty of folks who enjoy these fish for the table. While we're on the subject of catfish, have

Here are a couple of our younger anglers with a super nice largemouth bass! This fish was landed while fishing from shore. Nick Navarrette and Mason Lucchino caught this beautiful bass using a spinnerbait. The fish weighed an impressive 6.20 pounds and measured 24½ inches long. It was a little disappointing that they didn't know to release it, but I took the opportunity to explain that

The fishing has been slow and most of the stripers caught have been on the smaller size

The fishing has been slow and most of the stripers caught have been on the smaller size. Anglers may still be able to get lucky catching bigger stripers, and it’s reported that using trout imitation baits can help. The rainbow trout are still going strong for those fishing on or shortly after each Thursday that they are stocked. Anglers are using worms, PowerBait, and spinners

The fishing has slowed down on the lake. The anglers that are having the most success are going out early in the morning before sunrise to fish topwater for largemouth, smallmouth, and striped bass. Many smaller stripers in the 1- to 2-pound range are being caught. Trolling using a buck-tailed jig or swimbaits in a trout pattern has also been good to anglers looking for
