North of Yuma AZ on the Colorado River

5 of us went out to Picacho State Park and fished the river and connecting lakes. Finally got to fish this bass heaven after living in CA for 26 years. Hope to fish it again!
 Spent a couple days on the river with Drew And Brooks from Jackson Kayak as well as Rich from Arizona. That 20 miles of dirt road to Picacho Park made it feel like you really were off the grid. We even saw a few wild burros this trip!  A little wind on day one, but really nice weather over all, sunny and mid 80s. We pulled about a dozen large mouth out of Taylor Lake and a couple off the river on day one.I found my confidence in the River to Sea Crawfish. Drew got a 4.5 that was the big 'un. Day 2 we asked the camp care taker if he would mind shuttling us up river, he drove the truck back to our landing point so we got to float and fish a good stretch. Brent and I paddled a long cut into Adobe Lake, lots of stick ups but no fish in there.   Really fun trip, glad I finally got to fish this area, hope to fish it again!

Great stuff, Iceman!!  Thanks for sharing!

Nice! Looks like great water.

Great validation of that crawdad bait. Watching the video, I couldn't help wonder how well their mouse and frog baits would too.

I brought some Booya frogs, but seemed too early in the year to bother throwing em. I know they work well into the summer there.

That's awesome.  My brothers wife grew up on that stretch of river.  There is a trailer park up the road called Walter's Camp that her dad had a space at. 

There is fantastic duck hunting there too.

I have only been in the fall.  Never fished it, but that is one fun place for jeeping.

Next time I'm taking the Yak!

Thanks for the report. 

Killer pictures! Looks like the weather was really nice for you guys...I am getting sick of this rain!!!!
