Colorado River Striped Bass

[Greybeard]

I live in Ft. Mohave, AZ during the winters now and know practically nothing about striped and largemouth bass and crappie fishing but I am learning. Big stripers are caught in Lake Mohave and I'm trying to learn more about them. So far I've discovered that they like trout. So I've been using my fish finder and am trying to find schools of targets that might be trout with bigger targets below the schools. Then I've been trying to troll artificials just below the school - I have one 10" AC plug that I've been using along with another plug (we can use 2 poles with a few extra bucks on the license). I've caught a few 10-pounders but not many. Any advice? Greybeard/

Fishing for Striped Bass in Colorado

When fishing for stripers concentrate on the deeper waters in the lake. If you can locate schools of shad, stripers are often close by. When the baitfish are shallow over the deep water, you can catch stripers on crankbaits or by swimming spoons at appropriate depths. And for the ultimate thrill try large topwater baits if you see any surface feeding action. When the stripers are deep, jigs and jigging spoons work well. Live and cut bait will also take striped bass when they are in medium to deeper water. Fish nearby or in the river channel if it is a defined depth change. Trolling is also an excellent way to fish for stripers. Use flashy lures in bigger sizes
