BULLHEAD CITY — Rusty Braun says the striper bite is giving mixed results along the Colorado River.
Those who are doing well are doing really well. And those who aren’t report having little to no success. It seems to be a bite built on opportunity; timing, presentation and patience all are key components of success.
“The stripers are being taken from shore or boat up and down the river,” said Braun, proprietor of Riviera Marina in Bullhead City. “Our Community Park area has a great shore line and without the usual water traffic, it’s a really great fishing spot with a lot of opportunity to land some nice catches.”
One such catch was logged by local angler Willard Ashburn. He caught a 4.08-pound, 233⁄4-inch fish.
“He was using a Pencil Popper he had just purchased from us,” Braun said.
The nearby casino area also is a productive location, Braun said.
“I am getting reports that the casino area on the Arizona side is also doing well and producing a few stripers” similar to Ashburn’s. “This size is what most are landing with anchovies working very well.”
