Lake Havasu
We spent the last few days on a family trip to Lake Havesu and got stoked on a first come lake front camping site. Our campsite had lake access where we could fish right from the shore: Beautiful kayaking on this lake with many good bass fishing holes My brother and laws first time on a kayak and first time fishing. Couldn't get him to catch a fish but he was loving being on the water As hank William Jr. said, "And we can skin a buck we can run a trotline, I can plow a field all day long I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn" Last edited by JoeBeck; 01-20-2011 at 04:11 PM. |

Redsled - we stayed at Lake Havasu State Park Windsor Beach. We checked out some other sites on our way in but this was the only water front one we could find. I think we lucked out since only about 5 sites at that campground are on the water and there are no reservations.
mtnbykr2 - Didn't see any marks for striper. Lots of good large mouth bass habitats. This was my 1st time in Lake Havasu, actually I would have liked to fish in the river but time didn't permit. We were visiting family from Las Vegas so really it was more of a visiting trip with some time for fishing. |

Ok. It looks like the weather cooperated with you. Last time I was there we got blown out by the wind and 4 foot close frequency waves. Not a fun experience. We did manage catch small stripers though.

Great report! Nice Largemouth!
I've been thinking of making a trip like that but what I really want to do is paddle down the river below Blythe down to Imperial dam. Fishing and camping that stretch should be a blast. Jim |

Right on, Joe!
That baby-bump shot's great. Something tells me your new addition to the family might become a fisherman before it's all said and done. Well, with a mother and father that fish the odds are looking good, anyway.
The real question is, will there be anywhere to fish when the kids grow up? That's another story, though. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . And thanks for reminding me why I spend so much time fishing saltwater---Catfish are freakin' ugly!
