Hi Steve, welcome to the board, I too was gonna post a smartassed reply about not wanting anything to do with the "Strippers" in Laughlin, but I'll post on a serious note... The BPS boys have some local info but you're better off checking with the smaller tackle shops near the river.
The big fish like AC and Rago are catching are in the river above Davis Dam, closer to Willow Beach, and Yes they will eat the big wood, they are catching them right now, The key to getting bit on the big wood lures is to make them look like hatchery trout, swim them slooooow and cast them till you're arms fall off, you will get bit.
Just keep trying, I have found that when you find a spot of stripers boiling it's just like fishing a Calico Bass boil, and you can catch all you want.
heres a cut/paste from the Turners site.
"LAKE MEAD: Good striper action in the early morning on top water and anchovies in 45 to 50 feet to 9-0. Largemouth bite is excellent at every point and cove on top water and Senkos. Bluegill action is good on worms. For more information, call Lake Plaza at 702-564-3058.
WILLOW BEACH: The striper bite is good with good sized fish reported. Top catch was by Jerry Rago, Bishop, on baby tool (homemade artificial lure). Chris Riigoyeen, Henderson, caught a 30-0 striper on sardines. Trout action remains good on Power Bait. Lots of limits. For more information, contact the marina at 928-767-4747.
LAKE MOHAVE: Stripers are biting on anchovies with most action north of Cottonwood Cove. A few were reported to 2-0 off the mouth of the bay on anchovies. No bass or catfish action reported. For more information, call Cottonwood Cove at 702-297-1464.
BELOW DAVIS DAM: Mostly slow action, with only a few small stripers reported after dark and on Big Bomber Long A's.
