Havasu

[westonater1980]

As you may already know FLW outdoors college bass fishing is coming to havasu at the end of February. Having never fished this lake before, and no prefish being aloud. My first time getting a line in the water will be the day of the tournament. I'm having trouble finding good recent information on the lake. My new teammate is fairly green so it's gonna be up to me to run the show, and i don't want to fail. The only area of the lake we are allowed to fish is from catfish bay to whipple bay. As of right now i don't have any sort of good game plan. From what i've been reading the fish should be in pre-spawn mode by that time, but i could be totally wrong. I'm mostly curious what colors the smallmouth key in on the best, but if you are willing to share more (Warmest water in that part of the lake, good spots to try, best lures, movement of the fish, etc) ANY good information would be so greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Weston Brierley

That's really quite a big area. Catfish Bay will be full of tules. So jigs, drop shot, senko and tube type baits. Green, watermelon, 3/8 and 1/2 oz. brown purple jigs (peanut butter and jelly color).

Down by Whipple Bay will be rockier points, brush and some walls and chunk rock bars extending out to the main channel. A lot of installed fish structure all in that area.
All of the above lures will work.... adding in crankbaits and stick baits like Lucky Craft Gunfish and maybe Vixen. Thru line Swimbaits if you are allowed is a possibility. The local tackle shop can have good information
