Would love to fish with you out here! Just got back from a FLW tournament final weigh in and saw some monsters being caught right now.. couple nice 7 lb largemouth and many big smallies. I also love lake Mohave and actually do better there than here in Havasu. Hit me up, spawn will be here soon!

Sorry for the late reply, but this post is very accurate about night smallmouth.. Main assumptions about what color and bait (spinnerbait) etc are fairly good suggestions at best. Many anglers are just uneducated at night and start to shy away from it or go 1 time where the bite was bad and blaim nighttime instead of wrong tatics and don't want to try again. I do tend to not catch numbers of smallmouth at night, but the ones I get are constantly big. They swim up shallower to ambush points they prefer by themselves to get a quick big bite they scare away from during the day. There are just so many wrong assumptions about the topic which is too bad. The whole experience of night fishing in general is just kinda mystical and if you have a positive attitude while enjoying the other mysterious angles over day time trips. Add a good buddy into the picture and the benefit of no pressure from other anglers and it turns into a memorable time. Using random lures where bass are congregating and I've had 60+ catch trips multiple times. They are 90% largemouth and 1 to 3 pounds but is really fun. Open up to possible poor fishing which is easy for most anglers anytime of sunlight!

Nice! Those bass in the community waters sure act differently than over here in Havasu! It's cool to see them getting the pre spawn tickles...ha Thanks of the update buddy.

This topic still alive?? I live in Havasu, but fish Mohave a lot and is my favorite lake in the state. I fish out of Katherine's Landing though, and fish the AZ side more often for some reason. Would love to meet up with someone who also fishes the area.... !!

RC Stx are my easy favorite after Pointers ... lost a 120SP pointer in American shad with custom feather hooks ouch week ago

a. What lure you picked and where you got it. I am reviewing the savage gear line thru trout, I purchased it online on Amazon. b. How’d you fish it? (water type, retrieve- info that helps other anglers be successful) Fished it on Lake Mohave, clear water - some bass spawning still (mainly largemouth) and the smallmouth were just about done. I slowly retrieved it to see it's action, which was great alone, but loved to give it a jerk and pause, or reel fast 5 or 6 turns and just stop. Smallmouth would nail it!! The tail is made of a really interesting material for slower retrieves it seems... I love my slow sink and could even deadstick it! c. Results In my 14-15 days fishing the line thru, I have caught 9 striper, countless smallmouth, and some fat mama bass full of eggs still. Great bait. I had the lite trout color.... every picture I have wont let me upload quote 'error this file was too big to upload'... email me at flashnmegone@yahoo.com for pictures!!!
