While fishing has been hot for the striped bass along the Colorado River, don't forget the catfish. They can be found cruising the shallows, and anchovies are a popular bait choice. Anchovies will bring in stripers as well. One catfish weighed in at 13.78 pounds. Anglers have also had luck for fish ranging from four to six pounds. Rusty at Riviera Marina recommends using a good 12-pound test line with a number 2 hook for bait fishing. The striper bite has been best early in the morning and again in the evening.
