Lake Havasu Fishing
Updated report

4/28/08- Although the day started out with clear skies and later switched to cloudy, the bite never changed. The Striper action was constant all day today. Using nothing but ‘chovies, we caught 20 Striper, a Channel Catfish and a hungry Smallmouth.

4/20/08- The wind was fresh all day today with a few gusts approaching 30 mph. But the fishing was good. Keith and I caught Striper, Channel Catfish, Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass, Redear Sunfish and Bluegill. There were no periods when the bite was “hot and heavy”. It was just steady all day; and there were not many anglers on the lake either. It was just a great day! We kept a dozen Striper, a dozen Redear, 2 Bluegill, 1 Catfish and only one Smallmouth Bass for “a taste”. For perspective, that’s a 5 lb. Striper in the middle of the Braggin’ Stick and the largest Redear was just over 2lbs.

4/15/08- It was a very warm and comfortable spring day today but the wind did come up about 1:00pm. Prior to that we caught about 30 Striper out of which we kept 16 of them. All of the fish were taken with ‘chovies.

4/14/08- The bite started early this morning. Aaron have the first Striper hooked up before the rest of us got our lines in the water. It was an active bite everywhere that we fished. We finished by keeping 26 Striper out of 35 caught. It was just a great spring day!
