Striped Bass, Largemouth Bass and Smallmouth Bass have all been caught at Mohave recently. Trolling using swimbaits with a shad imitation is an effective way of catching Striped Bass, while Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass can be found in coves in the early mornings. Trolling on white buck-tailed jigs and using swimbaits with baitfish imitations have been the most effective lures recently, but anchovies work well too.

Special Regulations: The limit is 5 trout, there is no longer a limit for Striped Bass over 20 inches. Striped Bass may be taken by spear or spear gun from that portion of Lake Mohave between Hoover Dam and Cottonwood Landing. For species not listed, or bodies of water without special regulations, refer to the statewide fishing regulations.
