CL, go get um I to love fishing Arizona will be there in a couple weeks
doing some day and night fishing.
Havasu redear and stripers top water bite starting in evening for stripers now.
miss the days at cottonwood cove when it was hard not to catch at least a 5lb rainbow
i think the strippers hurt bass fishing greatly also
since their introduction back in the 70's
willow beach in it's day was a world wide trout fishery destination

you guys gotta take some pics of irvine so I can see it now. This use to be my favorite time of year out there at night.
used to like to sneak into peters canyon reservoir when it was a full blown lake all the overflow from the spillway used to drain into it and it had more fish than irvine
another sleeper used to be a gravel quarry behind saddleback
was filled with big bass
saw 12 pounders come out many times
was always a catch and release spot
and was always fun hiding from the ranch cops
golf courses could be epic if you knew what water hazards to fish
I heared there were alligators in Peters Canyon. Scary.
never got shot at when fishing the quarry but had to sprint to the nearest fence hole more than once
it was a great spot we called it rankin reservoir after a buddy that yanked out a giant bass
didn't weigh it but we all agreed it had to be near 15lbs
this is back when hodges was the socal bass destination
but we always felt that world record was swimming in the quarry
was always good for 5 to 10 lb whiskers and a occasional nice trout that washed down san juan creek when it was planted heavily
the village ponds in the pitch an put course great until they got fished out lots of 5lb bass
best fishing golf course we ever found was pala mesa just north of fallbrook off of old 395 every water hazard was filled with bass and never got hassled
nothing better than 36 holes and sunset fishing
