At Lake Pleasant (report courtesy of Sportsman's Warehouse), fishing is rated as good. Stripers are hitting shad / perch jerk baits. For bass, target structures with Crush City soft baits, Yamamoto large Senko worms 4.5 to 7 inch Wacky, Carolina and Texas rig, Robo Worms for drop shot, Z-Man Chatterbaits and Strike King spinner baits, Keitech swim baits, and Missile flipping jigs. For open waters, try swim / glide baits 6th Sense, Storm and Fish Lab. For deep water, try Strike King and Rapala crank and jerk baits. The catfish bite has also continued to remain strong. The catfish have been hitting on nightcrawlers and stink baits. As for crappie, the bite has started to pick up with anglers having the best success on Kalin's grubs, Crappie Magnet - white / chartreuse minnows or grubs. Crappie fishing in the Agua Fria arm has been good; try shad or minnows at night around submerged trees and brush. Check water temperatures and conditions that may affect fish habits.
