This June gloom has been making me think hard about braving the heat and running to the river......I want stripers though, so thinking Willow Beach or Cat Tail cove...........Ferguson looks PURDY! Thanks for sharing!

It cooled down to 70 the nights I was there, which isn't bad but looks like the weather is starting to really heat up now. Out of 3 people I seen out there, one fella said he caught 3 stripers chasing bait balls and 12 LMB.

My family has a place in Golden Shores AZ on the Marsh. My Dad has actually been really pushing to retire and start a small fishing tour business where you launch at Topock and get picked up in Havasu. He said food, drink place to stay for a couple hundred a weekend. Small mouth fishing is off the hook in the early spring and fall. Top water bites every evening. Check out pics of the river from Topock to Havasu on google, beautiful place. Stoked to see people enjoying it. Ladies love it too. PM me if interested and I will talk to the old man about getting it started.

Man i would love to check that out someday, maybe when my sons a little older ill be able to sneak out for a weekend.

Who doesn't love top water action!!!!!!!!

Purdy kewl olddirtybasser.

IF you have a pontoon boat or like...a water shuttle from say / Havasu or "Castle Rock" up to Needles Bridge would be EPIC. Pull a fleet of kayaks up the river early am daisy chain style would blow my hair back.

To hire a shuttle driver is difficult and expensive because you need a trailer for the yaks. The local outfitters want to rent their kayaks...

Its a long wait and a pain in the ass doing the self shuttle...

Super scenic fun change of pace, did the shuttle and float down to Castle Rock Spring 2013..........talking to my Pops about a Fall trip to the river camping and fishing.
