At Lake Pleasant (report courtesy of Sportsman's Warehouse), fishing is rated as good. Stripers are hitting shad / perch jerk baits and spoons and anchovies, and bass are shallow currently chasing baitfish and poppers. Drop shot with Roboworm Margarita Mutilator and Morning Dawn is always a go-to bait. The catfish bite has continued to remain strong. The catfish have been hitting on nightcrawlers and stink baits. If you're looking to do more active fishing, then try Senkos, drop shots and skirted jigs for the bass. As for the crappie, the bite has started with anglers having the best success on 2-inch grubs bounced off the bottom. 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.
