lake mead 5/08/09 - BigE - 05-11-2009
[cool]Sorry for late post but had been busy. Went out friday at gray light south of 33 hole. Checked out a small point and got two small stripers on the rattle trap which I released. Went towards the coves I had good luck before and saw shad being pushed to the rocks. Tossed the beetlespin and caught a 2lb striper which went on the stringer. Checked out other coves in hopes of more stripers or LMB but it was for nada. I kicked out to one of the "new" islands and baitfished with chovies. It started slow but became a fish every two minutes, some on the drop. Ended up with total fish- 11 stripers and one catfish. I kept the three biggest(2lb+ average) and released the cat(about 2.5lbs). On the way back to my launch site I caught my fifth keeper striper on 3" gulp minnow grub white. Nice day on the water.

Nice report. Those look like perfect size stripers. Sounds like a great trip.

Nice day on the water.
Boy, I'd say it was a nice day on the water! Hike down to the lake shore packing all that gear, kick around the coves for several hours, hump all that gear, plus fish, back up to the parking lot. Hardcore! Nice pics.

[cool]Thanks BaySport. You learn real quick on taking home a select few fish so you don't overexert yourself.

Nice report, ever since you got your bigger boat you don't go out as much.
