Vehicle Details
On the water from 5:30–10:00 AM, water temps held steady at 84°F with air temps from 89–100°F. Sunrise was at 5:55 AM, and winds blew 10–15 mph out of the south. Today’s trip was with a fellow licensed boat captain who runs his own wake surf boat here in Havasu—it’s always great having locals aboard! We headed to Blue Dock Cove and trolled through the “Sod Farm” to the White Lighthouse on the island, about a 1.5-mile run. With the south wind, I figured the north side would be more protected, but the bait and stripers were scattered, making for a tougher bite. We ran two different setups at the same time—one rod with a River2Sea D Walker 4.5" Pearl Swimbait on a 1/2 oz jig head, and the other with a 4" fluke for a slimmer profile. Around 7:30, we landed our first 14" striper, quickly followed by another. A few short strikes and lost fish followed before we trolled from Site Six to Body Beach. We landed a 12" striper off the fluke near Beachcomber, but the action picked up again as we neared Thompson Bay. My client hooked a solid 18.5" striper that crushed the D Walker, and later, in the no-wake zone, we doubled up—landing one more 15" fish to wrap up the morning. Conditions were challenging, but persistence paid off, and we had a great time. We’re back at it tomorrow morning—stay tuned for the next report!
Time on the water was from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM, with water temperatures between 85–87°F and air temps rising from 89°F to 100°F. Sunrise was at 5:55 AM, and winds stayed light and inconsistent at under 10 mph, leaving the lake mostly flat with only slight ripples at times. After a long weekend of charters, I had a day without a booking and decided to take my boy out fishing. We headed for the “Sod Farm” on the north side of the island and began trolling around Blue Dock Cove, following the tight contour lines where the depth dropped into deep pockets surrounded by shallow structure. We trolled at around 2.4 mph using a white fluke on a 3/8-ounce chartreuse jig head along with a few different hard baits. The white fluke was the clear MVP, while the Cotton Cordell Grappler Shad only produced one fish. All our fish in this area measured between 15–17 inches—consistent with last week and a nice upgrade from the 10–12" dinks we were catching a couple of weeks ago. Eventually, my boy wanted to try bait fishing, so we circled back to a deeper hole I had marked earlier that was loaded with bait and good marks. We dropped the chum bucket and fished cut bait on a free line. The fish were close to the surface and in that same size range, but the bite had slowed. We each caught a few more, and I added a couple on jerkbaits, but my boy started getting antsy as the action tapered off. After a quick swim for him while I cleaned up the gear, I decided to troll a new section on the west side of the lake about half a mile south of Chemehuevi Wash. This area showed tons of fish and great underwater structure. We had a few short strikes and lost a decent fish right behind the boat, but it seemed like it was just too late in the day for them to really feed.
Water temps were between 81–85°F this morning with air temps climbing from 94 to 105°F. Sunrise was at 5:50 AM, and the lake was absolutely glass—no wind, calm conditions, and perfect for a peaceful morning run. Even though I didn’t have a charter booked, the water was calling, so I launched just before 6:00 AM for a solo scouting mission up north. I started trolling just south of Grass Island at 2–3 mph, running a small Rapala crankbait and a custom-painted Raid Japan Vib Big Lipless Crankbait. Not long into the troll, I connected with a nice 2-pounder just north of the island. The area was loaded with bait balls and small schools of striper boiling all over. I picked off a few more fish in the area—mostly in the 1-pound range—but after three passes with no size upgrade, I decided to push farther north. I worked the California side in 30–40 feet of water along the edge of the river channel and picked up a few more fish, but I was still chasing better quality. So, I crossed to the Arizona side and focused on Pittsburgh Point, trolling 20–40 feet of water and targeting steep drop-offs that dropped from 25 to 43 feet. By then, I had switched to a white fluke on a jig head along with the Rapala, and it paid off. I doubled up on a solid 3-pound striper and a 2-pounder shortly after, then continued to get consistent action on each pass—most fish in the 1–3 pound range. All in all, it was a great morning on the water. If you're looking to book a morning charter while the lake is calm and the bite is on, now’s the time—reach out and let’s go fishing.
This morning I launched from Riviera Marina at 5:45 AM with one mission—scouting new water by trolling to cover ground efficiently. Conditions were typical for this time of year: water temps between 81–83°F, air temps ranging from 90–101°F, and sunrise at 5:50 AM. Winds started out light at 6–8 mph but steadily built to 15 mph with gusts out of the south by late morning. I headed south to Pilot Rock and began trolling in 40–50 feet of water using a custom-painted lipless crankbait (shoutout to @spellmancustoms on Instagram) and an Alabama rig. Just two minutes in, I hooked into a solid striper weighing just over 2 pounds—a nice change from the recent run of dinks. Continuing south toward Steamboat Cove, I marked bait balls across from Black Meadow Landing and some scattered schools of smaller striper, but the bite slowed and only produced more small fish. I swapped the A-rig for a smaller deep-diving Rapala and managed one more hook-up while trolling. South of Steamboat, I found heavy bait activity and busting schoolies. I tied on a jig and had fun picking off a handful before wrapping up the morning. Overall, it was a productive trip with several new spots logged for future trips. I won’t be on the water tomorrow unless a charter books, but I’ll be heading back out Thursday to continue exploring regardless.
We hit the water at 6:00 AM this morning with air temps already creeping into the low 90s and water temps holding steady between 81 and 83 degrees. Sunrise came at 5:50 AM, and we had a light breeze to start—about 6–8 mph—but by the end of the trip the wind had picked up to a steady 15 mph out of the south, with gusts up to 10 mph. We were fishing in about 33 feet of water and were out there until 9:00 AM. This morning I picked up my client Albert and his 10-year-old son bright and early at Rotary Park. We headed straight out to the buoy line and anchored on some numbers that had been producing well last week. I dropped both bow and stern anchors to stay locked in and got the chum working—cut bait and the chum bucket combo. We marked a few fish under the boat and watched them rise in the water column, but they just weren’t feeding. Most of the stripers we saw seemed more interested in chasing shad than taking our offerings. We’d get occasional small pods of bait coming through with a few quick hits, but nothing consistent enough to stick with. At about 7:00 AM, I decided to make a move. The young angler was getting eager to “catch dinner,” so we slid about 125 yards northwest of the first spot and found a large school of striper boiling on bait. We anchored just off the boil, got our scent trail going again, and this time the stripers stacked up under the boat and got active. The bite turned on fast. We caught a few on cut bait, then switched to jigging spoons, which the 10-year-old quickly got the hang of—he was reeling them in nonstop. Fish were flying on deck, smiles were everywhere, and it turned into one of those mornings you just don’t forget. They ended up keeping 18 fish, and I got a text later saying the family was enjoying a good ol’ fish fry that evening. Now, for those of you giving me a hard time about all the dinks lately—you’re going to love this: the biggest fish today weighed a whopping 1.5 pounds! Not much size to brag about, but hey, we’re staying on the fish and keeping the lines tight and the energy high. I don’t have a trip on the books tomorrow morning, so I’m planning a solo scouting mission to try and locate some bigger schools. If you’re waiting to hook into something that pulls back a little harder, now’s a great time to book one of our Flathead Catfish evening charters. With the full moon approaching, we’ve got some prime dates coming up—don’t miss your shot at a true river monster.
We hit the water early from 6 AM to 9 AM with air temps already climbing into the low 100s, water temps holding at 84°F, and a light 5 mph breeze. Sunrise was at 5:49 AM, and the stripers were sitting slightly deeper than last week as the hotter weather and weekend boat traffic pushed the shad lower in the water column. We anchored in about 33 feet of water, roughly 75 yards off the no-wake buoy on the right side closer to Body Beach than the Nautical. Early in the morning, we tossed some topwater after spotting small, isolated schools of stripers pushing shad to the surface, but it didn’t produce. I regrouped, chopped up some chum, and mixed in loose pieces along with the chum bucket to see if I could hold any roaming schools under the boat. About 30 minutes in, the plan worked and a good school stacked up beneath us. This trip was extra special as I brought my 4-year-old son out for some one-on-one fishing time. He kept me busy baiting hooks as he reeled in stripers one after another, with the biggest hitting 2 lbs. Between helping him, I picked up a few fish on 3" white grubs with an 1/8 oz jig head and a couple more on a 1 oz silver jig with a red head. We finished the morning with our limits and will be frying them up in the next couple of days.
Time on the Water: 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM Water Temp: 84°F Air Temp: 94–110°F Sunset: 7:39 PM Wind: 7 mph sustained, gusts up to 15 mph Launched for an evening trip and headed straight to Thompson Bay, anchoring about 50 yards off the buoy line for the no-wake zone in roughly 30 feet of water. We dropped the chum bucket and set out the green light to draw in bait. We started with a white curly-tailed grub on an 1/8 oz jig head, casting as far as possible, counting it down to about 25, and slowly reeling with light jerks to create erratic action. This produced a few fish right off the bat. As the sun set and fish began stacking under the boat, I switched to a 1 oz jigging spoon. The key was dropping it straight down while pinching the line between two fingers to feel any hits on the way down. Once on bottom, I’d reel up 3–5 cranks and pop the jig repeatedly, watching closely for slack or unusual line movement. About 90% of the hits came on the drop, so focus was crucial. We boated around 30 fish total, with most in the 1–2 lb range, which was a step up from the schoolies we’d been catching the past couple of days. The bite slowed around 9:30 PM, so we switched to bait on a high-low rig with small circle hooks and managed a few more before packing it up at 10 PM.
Caught our limits with in an hour, spent the rest of the time jigging for stripped Bass! All fish were caught in 5-30' of water. Water Temp was 81 degrees, air temp was 84-100 degrees.
