Lake Mead Wednesday 11-19 - TheWhizzle - 11-20-2008
Hit the water with Alex this morning after a long dry spell. We showed up at Callville at about 5:45am to beautiful glassy water and an even better looking sunrise.

We headed out and started throwing Zara Puppies and Skitter Pops with no love. Switched over to drop-shotting and dragging Texas rigged worms, and started catching fish.
First fish of the day was a pretty little smallmouth I pulled up on the drop shot.

(keep in mind, that's a size 13 boot) [
] Next fish up was Alex's accidental catfish that inhaled his Texas rigged power-worm. Didn't really expect that one.

Fishing continued with a few other smallies, and a couple nice largemouths.

And the biggest bass of the day went to Alex. Nothing huge, but it tipped the scales at over 1 1/2 lbs. Very nice fish with some impressive acrobatics.

Hit the shoreline for a leg stretch (that's my new kayak). Notice the glassy water at 11:00am. Gotta love the fall.

Fished for a little bit longer for nada and called it a day. Back at the launch at about 12:30.
Just as calm leaving as it was when we showed up (with the exception of a few extra boats).

Great day out there. Only spilled beer to complain about...

Looks like an awesome day on the water! Perfect weather, good company, and steady action. Sorry about the spilled beer.

Hey Whizzle,
Great report and pics. Don't you hate when unintentionally hook up a catfish. They seem to travel directly below schools of stripers for all the scraps. Anyway, I was wondering how were you able to post pics on your thread with brief narratives under each pic? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Paul
