Winter trolling and jigging in 25′ water in Lone rock and Navajo Canyon all close to town and marinas is producing the same. For Winter Stripers troll your shad deep divers 15′ or jig a white Yamamoto plastic on 1/8 to 1/4 ounce pighead and the best bite window will be around 1-2 p.m. as the sun angle warms the surface a degree or two.
Book your Spring fishing today and get in on some great fishing coming up.
