Colorado River - Davis Dam - NV

CJ Petrowski was fishing from shore in the Rotary park area using anchovies his striper was 31 and 7/8 inches and weighed in at 10.56 pounds and again anchovies produced this fine catch. And a bit daring he was using 8 lb test line. I would say 12 is a great size with a lot of our anglers going a bit heavier. I do know your lighter line seems to produce more bites but you do have to have a good handle on that drag to bring them in.

Our local angler and a colorful fellow Thom Gallent took Kaylene Burright and Christian Moran out on his boat to do some striper fishing and Kaylene landed a nice 8.08 pound stripper at 28 and 1/2 inches using her brand new zebco, what a great trip. They were in the lower big bend area using anchovies. 

Tommy Nguyen land his stripers by the Davis dam fishing on the Nevada side this area has a very nice park and some great fishing spots.

Les Kern from Apple Valley California, was using a blue gill feather to land his 6.66 pound striper at 26 and 1/8 inches he was fishing by the power lines near the opening of one of the coves.

Dan and Karen Wischnack landed these 3 stripers at 5.60 pounds 27 and 1/2 inches 6.42 ponds and 28 and 1/2 inches and the bigger one at 7.66 pounds and 28 and 3/4 inches while fishing from their boat near the dam.

In the big bend area our local anglers Chris Vasquez and his son Landen were out fishing  with our local martial arts instructor Ben Aleman (in the middle) (Fort Mohave Martial Arts). They were fishing on Bens boat using anchovies to land these 3 stripers the larger one at 3.36 pounds and 21 and 1/8 inches. since Bens studio has been shut down due to the pandemic they decided to take advantage of the time off and go fishing and this is a nice catch.

Gordon Fiske was out fishing with his grandson Colton Frye and landed some stripers and came in to share their catch the 2 larger ones weighed in at 4.54 pounds each and were the same length also at 23 and 3/4 inches. I have to say I do see a lot of fish being close in size but these 2 were right on the same size in both weight and length. They were using anchovies and were down river a ways below the needles bridge.

Gene Tafoya was fishing in the Pala Verde area from shore using anchovies and shared his catch of a nice 3.94 pound striper at 24 and 1/2 inches.

Our local angler Willard Ashburn landed a 4.08 pound striper at 23 and 3/4 inches using a pencil popper he had just purchased from us.

Gary Regan was fishing from his boat using anchovies and landed  his 7.10 striper at 30 and 3/8 inches.
