I'm out in the boonies so the posts here are more infrequent. Coronavirus panic has gripped this area, even with very few cases statewide and none in this county, so that has also made things more difficult. Anyway, here are a lot of kayak fishing photos from the desert southwest. Been fishing at night because it is the calmest part of the day. Wind has been a major factor. We've had good success fishing at night. The fishing has been slow due to cold winter river water, but the water is warming up and so is the kayak fishing action. There are a few hazards to look out for. Most of the fishing is in the reeds and cattails. A kayak is perfect for this type of fishing. Kayaks can launch in places boats can't get to. This is the west, so there is fire. Weather ranges from calm and sunny to torrential rain, wind and flash flooding. Great early spring kayak fishing action! Largemouth bass spawning nest. I've caught some nice largemouth bass so far this early spring. Looking forward to leaving the city and coronavirus panic behind for more desert kayak fishing.

The desert southwest kayak fishing season has come to and end and we are back on the road to the Pacific Northwest. We don't know what the future holds because of the coronavirus pandemic, but if the world is going to end, we will get some kayak fishing in first. Desert kayak camping Colorado River early morning Daytime temps are over 105°, too hot for camping and comfortable kayak fishing Best fishing was around sunrise Great kayak fishing for largemouth bass Next post will be from the Columbia River in the PacNW. Stay safe! |

We made it from the PacNW to the desert southwest for our annual kayak fishing for largemouth bass adventure. Just like back home in WA, things are subdued and uncertain, so we try to keep as far away from civilization as possible and limit trips to the store and stuff like that. We've only been here a short time but the weather has been great for kayak fishing. The largemouth bass fishing has been pretty good and the fish have all been nice fish. After this 50mph windstorm passes through we'll be back on the river. Who knows what is going to happen, might as well get a little fishing in... |

Challenging fishing, but some nice largemouth bass. Great night sky viewing of stars and planets. Lots of meteors, some pretty bright. Caught this largemouth bass about 4AM. Some light rain and spectacular sunrises. |

The late winter/early spring desert wind has put a damper on the Colorado River kayak fishing, but with a little hard work we've been catching fish. The fishing has been challenging, but a nice largemouth bass like this makes a successful day of winter fishing. Early morning kayak fishing action. |

Had a few days of really good kayak fishing for largemouth bass on the Colorado River Starting before sunrise and lasting until the arms wore out from paddling and yanking in the bass We caught lots of nice largemouth bass, most probably in the two to five pound range All those nice largemouth bass looked small compared to this monster that I caught on the way back to the launch. You don't catch a fish like this every day, that's for sure. |
