Local Species Insights: Striped Bass

Striped bass (Morone saxatilis) thrive in Lake Pleasant's deep, open waters and provide some of the most exciting fishing action in Arizona. These powerful fighters are particularly active in March when warming conditions trigger aggressive feeding behavior. They typically school in deeper water during daylight hours, moving to shallower areas during early morning and evening to feed.

Successful Striped bass fishing at Lake Pleasant often involves finding schools with fish finders, then presenting bait or lures at the appropriate depth. Glenn's approach of mixing deep sea rods, jigging, and trolling techniques targets these fish effectively throughout different times of day. The lake's Striped bass respond well to a variety of presentations, including live bait (anchovies or shad), jigging spoons, and trolled crankbaits. When a Striped bass strikes, be prepared for an impressive fight – their powerful runs make them one of the most exciting freshwater game fish in the region.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

For your Lake Pleasant fishing adventure, dress in layers as Arizona mornings can start cool before warming significantly. Sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and a hat are essential for sun protection on the water. Glenn provides all fishing equipment including quality rods, reels, tackle, and bait, though you're welcome to bring your favorite gear if preferred. The comfortable fishing boat accommodates two guests with ample space for casting and fighting fish.

Morning trips typically begin around sunrise to take advantage of the early bite, while afternoon sessions start in the mid-afternoon and continue until sunset. Bringing water, snacks, and a camera to document your catch is recommended. Glenn practices catch-and-release for most fish but can clean and package your legal catch if you wish to take some home for dinner. His extensive knowledge of Lake Pleasant ensures you'll not only catch fish but also learn valuable techniques you can use on future fishing adventures.
