Expect 100s of PWCs, with 80% being rentals, so they don't know or have any consideration of anybody else on the water. Watch for sand bars, and launch ramps will be backed up about an hour before sunset. Other then that I love it lol

If you stay south of the casino's it's as bad most of the people who rent the skis stay in that general area Laughlin bay Marina is a good spot to take the kids I personally go there with or without the boat

I sure hope its up higher than it was this last weekend. Went out to Mcyntire on a drunken last minute idea of a trip. it was so low. Never seen it that low, i think you could have walked all the way across.
Hit three sandbars within a couple of minutes. Threw the boat on the trailer and drove to havasu
-
We where out there also amd launched outta mac we kicked it at the island both days it wasn't too bad and yea was a pain to see the sand bars.

Casino row is like the 405 freeway at 5:00pm. Rental skis thick as flies. Taxi boats don't care about you, they have the right of way (so they think) There is not enough beach @ pioneer to chill without swamping the boat.
Head south past the 5 mph/harrahs area, and they mean 5 MPH. Bullhead Comm Park has a bunch of rentals there, too. 1/4 mile down is a huge wash that intersects the river, stay to the Nevada side, Its not a sand bar, its a rock bar.
Further south, there is an island on the AZ side, (River Mile 270), decent sandy beaches, some are a bit of gravel.
Laughlin Bay Marina is on the NV side about a mile down, and Big Bend a mile or so from that. Heading down river, stay center, or left of center to Big bend.
Beyond Big Bend, Keep right of 'The Bush" in the middle of the river. River sweeps left, and Boy scout camp/Pipeline are on the right.
Boy Scout Camp has a few beaches, as well as the few islands on the AZ aide. Pipeline kinda sucks, swift current and hard rock beach, and too shallow to deal with the current.
Further south, the channel is right of center, the AZ (left) side is shallow at this point. Lazy Harry's is on the left, turn by the flags (AZ Veterans Memorial Park) Watch for the shallow entrance, decent beach to park the boat, grab a burger and a beer. :thumbup:
Rusty's marina is the next 'channel' further south, has a bait and beer shack. Iguana's (Mexican food) has a small dock maybe 2 skis and a boat's worth.
Beyond that, the channel is on/nearer the NV side. Rotary park, AZ side, home of BHC-PD boats...
This is usually far enough for me on a Wednesday afternoon cruise.
Watch/read the water levels http://www.usbr.gov/lc/region/g4000/hourly/DavisParkerSchedules.pdf (http://www.usbr.gov/lc/region/g4000/hourly/DavisParkerSchedules.pdf)
3 units minimum for me, been out in 2 :o , but 4 is better, 5 is like a lake :thumbup:
Good luck and stay safe on the river

Last week they were flowing max 3 units, at 11 am, thats at Davis Dam, more like 2-3 pm for lazy harrys. Before that it was likely 2-2.5 units.
I've had 'pump salad' more than once, but its better now with the new water inlet pipes, I used to get real bad and had to wait till the merc-lawn mowers came thru :thumbup:

head south to around goose, dropoff or socal island, that's usually where we're all at.
edit-also Mark does the Cibola down the 78 go over the river? I want to do some shooting Friday afternoon and also take a peak around there. Are you interested?

Ben I am not sure if you are talking to me or not , but I am not sure. Been across one time and did a little 4 wheeling by the firing range. I need to find out the where to go cause I want to take my AR15 and do some plinking. I won't be out till tomorrow evening tho.

Once you pass the bridge and the houses and all, you will come up to a point on the right, and you will see a bunch of reeds right before it. There is a 1 boat entrance to goose flats there. Go around the point and down a little ways and on the left you will see a island depending on the water level, can't miss it on the left. Usually boats hanging there.

They are about 8 or so miles I think there's really only a few major sand bars heading south one on the cali side and one on the az side, those will be the first ones you come across heading down from Blythe. If you're planning on heading down I'll message you my phone number so you can text and what not we'll find you if you don't find us first. We'll be the drunk people shooting shit and playing really loud music :D

Yep I am, I wasn't planning on going until the later in the day time, but if we head out like Saturday or Sunday evening I'm down, we can talk at the park.

Damn that sucks. I have 3 see doos as well and lits of family and some teenager's that ride them but i am so strict with them and quick to ground people for nit being safe with them. A few weeks ago some jack a$$ on a brand new one went over the front of mine with my kid on it. Lets just say when my son came back with a smashed up front hood the guy is lucky i couldnt find him and my sons area to ride it got limited to where i could see him. Hes 15 by the way and has been on the water since birth
