couesbuck22 Report post Posted March 17, 2013 Went down to havasu with my dad and we planned on fishing Monday through Thursday all day every day and leave on saturday morning. we only got in 2 whole days of fishing and about halfway through the 3rd day the boat died and wouldnt turn over. Luckily there was a boat across the cove and he noticed we were having trouble and came over and asked if we needed a tow and so after we got hooked up he asked which ramp you guys launch at? we told him Cattail cove and he asked where that was and i told him it was about ten miles back up the lake and so it took a while but we made it back and we offered the man cash to pay for gas and he said no. This goes to show there are good men everywhere that are willing to help out as i would have done the same for him. anyways, we ended up with 12 fish in 2 days of fishing (9 of which were mine) yes, we kept the males to eat but we released any of the females we caught so they could move up and spawn. we caught most of them throwing senkos in the docks and i caught a couple on a drop shot off some deeper points the water was just a little to cold for them to be spawning and by a little i mean like 1-2 degrees. After we returned from the lake i drove up to my sisters house in williams and did a little shed hunting. found one small 6 point and a dead cow elk that didnt live through the winter. I cannot think of a better way to spend my spring break, i got to do a little bit of my two favorite activities, pickin up a little bone and catchin some monster smallies, our smallest fish went 15.5 inches! fishing was on fire!

Coach Report post Posted March 17, 2013 Man that is awesome! I didn't know Havasu had smallies like that - those things are chunks! Best eatin' fish IMO. On the other hand, I do know what Havasu is famous for during Spring Break, and I'm surprised you got any fishing done at all! LOL. That's awesome that the guy helped out so much - I love it to hear stories like that. Really shows there are a lot of good folks out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
couesbuck22 Report post Posted March 18, 2013 Lol, i see where you guys are coming from and trust me we seen plenty of partiers in lake havasu city but we were camped about 15 miles up river from the london bridge where we were told to go by another good fellow we came across on our 2012 trip so where we were camped at there werent any college kids, thankfully. yea man, i dont know what i would have done if that man wouldnt have helped, no phone service, not that it would have done me any good, my phone was in the truck anyways but i know our trolling motor wouldnt make it the ten miles back up river.
