Bassin' Blythe Riviera

[iethinker]

This is a fishing report from the Blythe backwater which I fished on 5/13/17.

- Air temps foretasted to be 90-degrees
- Morning was nice probably in the 70s & 80s with mild breeze
- My in hull water temp monitor at 67-degrees after launch
- Water is stained aqua marine color
- Bluegill appear to be spawning visibly in the shallows
- Bass are deep in the cover
- Bass on smaller side compared to So. Cal lakes.
- Enjoyable scenic area free of the boisterous crowds...best part!


Here are a few pics:


I take a look at a fish I caught:

I wrestled this one out from under a brush pile:

You might wait till fall as it is probably 100-degrees plus for next 5-months in Blythe. Bring the morning dawn roboworms.
