We are still kayak fishing and we are still going after the largemouth bass here in southwest Arizona. The weather is cool at night and in the early morning, but when the sun comes up it warms up pretty quickly. For late winter/early spring, it’s pretty darn nice. We’ve been hanging around Mittry Lake because … Read more
We’ve been dodging windy days to try and get in as much kayak fishing for largemouth bass here in southwest Arizona as we can. As we’ve learned by fishing on Mittry Lake, the fishing can be really terrible one day and fantastic the next. It’s probably like that at most fishing spots, but on Mittry … Read more
We are still out here in the desert kayak fishing in southwest Arizona. We’ve been spending more and more time out in the desert and less time near town and good internet service, that’s why it’s been so long between blog posts. We always take photos, but we’ve been trying to get enough video footage … Read more

For the most part, the weather has been really nice except for a raging sand storm that passed through the area a few days ago, followed immediately by a torrential downpour.

We’ve been hanging around town waiting for some equipment to arrive and have been fishing at Mittry Lake, which is outside of town to the north along the Colorado River.

After spending a few days at Fortuna Pond, where the fishing was not that great, we’ve been camping and kayak fishing at Mittry Lake, another of the Colorado River lakes near Yuma, AZ. We got lucky and scored a lakefront campsite. It’s pretty rare to have what’s known as a “paddle up” campsite where you … Read more
