Laughlin is also a Kick butt place. you dont need to rent a car from the airport as its right across the river and they will ferry you over. and I think that is free or used to be.
Lake Mojave is 10-15 mins away, the river is right there and Lake Havasu is 1.5 hours away.or you can go via boat 30 mins-40 mins.
Davis dam at the base of Lake mojave has some awsum striper fishing, and bass fishing on the river south by boat 10-15 mins is fantastic. there are also launch ramps around the river and one casino has there own ramp for customer use.

Iv'e parked my boat at the casinos many many times and never had a problem. My electronics and all my fishing stuff was on the boat as well with a very cheap cover that the wind usually blew off.

Colorado bell has extended park and the last 4 trips I parked my boat there. there is a 24hour guard shack there with a guard. you have to show them your key to get in.

best of all NO DRIVING if your not going to the lake so no need to rent a car.
whats even cooler is its cheaper than vegas and less crowded.
Finding a place to park a boat in vegas could be a nightmare and the roads suck not to mention there freeway

Cool Del,
I've been to Laughlin, but never got to fish. You're right about everything being right there. What kind of license would us California guys need?

I think its a colorado river stamp but not sure. My state AZ borders all where as ca only borders the waters of havasu and south.
If my boat is done by the time this thing goes I will take it, 4-5 will fish comfortably its a 22 foot bass boat

Kelly, it's funny you say that...because that is exactly what I tell people all the time. lake Powell is my favorite place I have ever been. I've been fishing in AK, cruised the Bahamas, vacationed in Hawaii several times, been all over the US....but I'd pick Lake Powell over any of that and not just because of the fishing! If you guys haven't been, it's absolutely amazing! IMHO it's more awesome than the Grand Canyon and on the same grand scale! I just wish it were easier to get to so we could do a meeting there.

Hey,count me in too!I'd love to get together with other members out here in the West(leave the 60lb braid home and bring your sewing thread haha).Even though I live in So.Cal,I'd be willing to travel.The Delta or Clear Lake would be great,but Pyramid or Castaic would be good too.Maybe the So.Cal members would like to get together on a monthly basis,and get to know each other,and go fishing.If we could get together enough people we could have mini-tournaments just for bragging rights!

Unfortunately, you just missed it. Still, at least you will be the first to book the hotel for next year.

[oldschoolbasser]

Oh well!At least I'll have plenty of time to pre-fish!

Vman.
Your referring the Annual Meet in Clinton, MO (aka: the mid-west in the States)... OldSchoolBasser was referencing the proposed West Coast TU Meet. This was an ongoing discussion that had dried up and withered on the vine. Maybe its time to take this idea off the shelf and dust it off. I think all those that attended in Clinton had a great time.

How's about West Coast guys (or is it Dudes)??? This fall as the weather gets more comfortable might be ideal timing.... Just some "Mental Munchies" to chew on.

[oldschoolbasser]

Thanks Bruce,I thought I missed out on something close to home.A fall get together would be great out here,with the weather still warm,and the fishing still being great.As in my original reply,I'm still waiting to here from all the West Coast guys about a monthly get together-mini tournament.I think it would be a great way for us to get to know other members,and share ideas and fishing techniques.

My sincere appologies Oldschoolbasser, I must have been dozing, or just plain dozey.
