dropshot is always a good bait to throw when the bite is tough. Fish around rock and deep points in the summer.

With the super clear water on Lake Mohave there are times where the finesse techniques are going to prove to be the most successful. It was a slick calm mid morning and the reaction baits would not get bit. I decided to switch it up and throw a Matt Luna Ned Rig and started to get consistent bites along the points. Used a Daiwa Fuego with Berkley X9 braid as the main line, Sunline FC Sniper for the leader, and a homemade ned rig worm, but another great option is the 6th Sense Ned Fry cut in half.

Mohave can have very windy conditions at times, and with the clear water this makes for the best chance at catching fish on reaction baits. I decided to throw a homemade spinnerbait in a shad pattern around exposed brush and reeds. I managed to catch a number of smallmouth and largemouth bass just covering water.

Lake Mohave is a clear water desert lake and the jig bite can be very good at times on all the desert lakes. I found lots of success throwing the 6th Sense Ball Head Finesse jig with a 6th Sense Stroker Craw for a trailer. This combination fished in the 20 foot range produced some decent quality smallmouth bass. I was also using Sunline FC Sniper Fluorocarbon in 12lb test, along with a Shimano Curado K or Daiwa Tatula SV reel, and a 6th Sense Unicorn rod.
