Hook, Line, and Thrill: Chasing Trophy Bass at Scenic Lake Pleasant
What a day we had out on the water at Lake Pleasant in Peoria, Arizona! I had the pleasure of taking Vernell King and two of his friends on a Fishing in Lake Pleasant | Shared- 5 Hour Trip (AM/PM) with No Limit Fishing, and it was an absolute blast. April is prime time for bass fishing here in Peoria, as the warming waters have the Striped bass and other gamefish feeding aggressively.
We met bright and early at 7am at the Scorpion Bay Grill, got our gear sorted, and headed out to the lake under clear skies. The water was in great shape, perfect for spotting baitfish and tracking down the big ones. We started off slow, trying a mix of jigging, trolling, and light tackle techniques to see what the fish were responding to. It didn't take long before one of the rods buckled over - Vernell set the hook and was into a nice Striped bass that put up an awesome fight. He handled it like a pro and soon had it in the boat.
The rest of the trip kept up that same steady pace, with everyone getting in on the action. We'd find a school of Striped bass, work them over with a variety of presentations, and watch the rod tips bounce as fish after fish smashed our baits. In between the flurries of activity, we had a great time trading stories, swapping fishing tips, and just enjoying the beautiful day out on the water. It's moments like these that really make these trips special - not just the fish we catch, but the whole experience of being out on the lake, surrounded by good company and big bass.
