Apache Lake, AZ

[dafishahman]

Not a report but an "Out of State" question..
Going to be fishing Apache Lake in Arizona October 22nd. From what I can gather the lake holds (largemouths, smallmouths, catfish, bluegill, crappie, White Bass, and Walleye)

I need suggestions on baits, in particular artificials. (i.e. colors, depths, etc..) Should I take my approach like I fish our lakes here in So. Cal? (Castaic, Perris,..etc?)

I know they have a later winter, and the temperature averages about that time are in the 70's.

All suggestions are well appreciated.

fish there like you do here in the summer, i fished out there quite a bit and you cant go wrong with morning dawn robos or jigs, lots of craws in az lakes. also dont forget to try for flathead cats if your staying the night, use the biggest bluegill you can catch on a 6/0 circle hook and a 2oz carolina rig, min 20lb line lol!
