HAVASU FISHING
Lake Havasu is home to striped bass of gigantic proportions. Imported from California in the early 1960’s, 50-pound, 50-inch fish are not uncommon.
These waters once gave up a world record for land-locked striped bass, and Arizona’s current state record, set in 1997, is a 67-pounder. Havasu is also blessed with largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, catfish, bluegill, crappie, rainbow trout and some monster carp, like the record 42-pounder hauled into a boat in 1979.
There are several fishing tournaments held on Lake Havasu, check the Events page to find out when.

Fishing Reports for Lake Havasu:
Take precautions to make sure your boat and equipment is clean before leaving the water to make sure you don’t spread quagga mussels to other waters by accident. This invasive species certainly has profound effects on water delivery and control structures, boat engines, and likely on fish populations. Quaggas are abundant and widely distributed in Lake Havasu, but are absent from many of our interior lakes. Help keep those lakes quagga-free. Make sure your boat and trailer are free of the mussels, drain all bilge and livewells before leaving the area, and most importantly, let your boat bake in the sun for 3-5 days before you launch it at another lake.

Catfish Paradise in the Topock Marsh has been a hot spot for channel catfish. A Golden Shores local garnered 23-pounds worth of cats off the dock on anchovy–one tipped the scale at 10-pounds. When the marsh is overgrown it is time to switch to something like frog imitation surface lures and fish the open spots in the grass. Although most of the action in the Topock Gorge has been smallmouth bass, there has been catfish and striper activity as well. The majority of the striper action has been at night, but some stripers in the 3-pound

There is some decent action for striped bass and smallmouth bass. This lake can become treacherous during high winds with storms coming through, but when storms are approaching bass -- especially stripers and smallmouth -- will often feed more actively.

class are being caught on anchovy on a day time bite-hooray! The water temperature recently dropped from 72º to 69º which seems to have been an indicator of change. The point across from the Topock marina was where a healthy 10-pound channel cat was picked up. Topock weekenders Kyle and Joe nabbed a portly 17-pound striper and an ice chest full of catfish from somewhere deep in the Gorge. The I-40 Bridge at Topock was a stimulating spot for little stripers a pound and under. Channel cats up to 3-pounds have been reported, and rubber worms are picking up 1- to 1½- pound bluegill. Smallmouth bass aren’t the only fish that been taking the bait. The largemouth bass are also active.
