Hey Fisher,
Since you are going south of blythe,there is a good place for gills at the entrance of cibola right past palo verde.Its maybe 20 miles south of blythe.We were there a few weeks ago and scored bait with no problem.There is a cove with camping right off the river and the gills are back in that cove.Then put em in a big cooler with an bubbler and go accros the bridge to the arz side,go south till you see some ponts/little jetts.there are three or four of them,nice current breaks.They are maybe 4 miles south after you go on the bridge.We got a few small flatheads about 5 lbs and a striper about 7lbs.I fish the imperial valley more than the river,at the Alamo river and the bigger canals,the all american and the east highline.Good luck,there are some absolute mogan flatty cats in that river.
