Our local angler and friend, Mike Merritt, recently landed a limit of striped bass. Fishing from an island and using anchovies as bait, Mike put together an impressive stringer of fish. These smaller-sized stripers are easy to clean and make excellent fish tacos, along with plenty of other great meals.

There are many productive spots for striper fishing below Davis Dam on the Colorado River, and anglers continue to have success throughout the area. It's also worth remembering that some very large fish are out there, and every angler has a good chance of hooking into a trophy-sized striper.

For bigger fish, try using swimbaits in the 6- to 12-inch range. White has been producing well, and rainbow trout patterns have also been very effective.

Up on Lake Mohave, trolling continues to be the most productive technique. Anglers using bucktail jigs and swimbaits are reporting great results. White and bone-colored lures remain top choices, while light green and rainbow trout patterns have also proven successful.

I hope you'll stop by and share your catch and fishing story with us. Thank you for your continued support.

Now go catch a fish!
