The new year is off to a great start and we hope all can find some agreement in that. The fishing here along the Colorado river below the Davis dam and up on Lake Mohave is looking great. Our local guide Mike Huseman (Laughlin fishing guide service) and visiting angler Zach Kiser from Selmer Tennessee ( home of the walking tall sheriff) is showing off his 7.34 pound large mouth bass that measured 24 inches. they were fishing in the Laughlin bay in Mikes drift boat when they landed this trophy fish. Zach was using various plugs and plastics and had been catching some large mouth bass in the 4 to 5 pound range. Zach was here visiting family and decided to go on a fishing trip all the fish had been released except for this one they brought in before releasing. We just got a recent trout plant thanks to the Willow beach hatchery and our City staff. The hatchery was able to stock both Rotary park and Community park with about 3000 rainbow trout. These are some super nice fish as you can see by the ones I recently landed in the rotary park area. I was fishing from shore using a spin-a-lure gold with red dots to land my limit of trout. the Hatchery was able to plant at these two locations because our city staff has just completed some dredging work at these sites. this will assist our boating community and has allowed for the hatchery to be able to get the rainbow trout to the water without getting the truck stuck. I have been hearing of some striper action up on the lake and along our shore line. I am looking forward to getting a chance to report on our anglers success stories especially on the striper bite. this time of year we can get some big fish in our area. we have some great shore line to throw out a line the Community park area or long the casino row have produced some great catches. Up on lake Mohave near the dam can prove to be most successful so we hope to see you in soon and thanks for all of your support.
