lake mead 5/25 - BigE - 05-27-2007
[cool]Took off work today for a long weekend. Hit the lake with the floattube at 33 hole at 5am. Started going south and was hit on the flyrod within the first 5 minutes by a 1 lb striper. Got another a couple minutes later,same size. Went to another couple of coves for two more smaller stripers. Continued further south and finally got a 2lb largemouth bass on a 3" Gulp minow grub. Then went around an island and caught another 2lb largemouth and then a 1.5lb striper again on the minnow grub. I kept the largemouths to contribute to the family feast for monday and released all the stripers. Off the water at 12 noon. No wind at all the whole time; a change of pace.

Hello Big E,
Nice pictures of the fish. It was amazing that there was no wind. It was because I was not out on the lake.[
] Did you see any boils? I stayed home and performed fishing equipment maintenance so I can go fishing after all the weekend warriors leave. Stripercraze

Hardcore! Flyrod, floattube, Hole 33. Just the hike, having to carry everything would kill me! Sounds like another example of how a guy should spend his time. Great report!

[
]Thanks stripercraze, I was hoping to see some boils but I didn't see any. I heard from a guy at work that he had seen some boils a few days before I went out. I was also amazed that there was no wind. I got just a tickle on the way back.[signature]

[
]Thanks BaySport, I really wanted to catch a striper on the flyrod. I was using an 8 weight rod which was overkill for the size fish I did get. I think I can get away with a 5 or 6 weight on the next go around, even if they are bigger. I also stayed to the south of 33 hole to avoid the heavily fished areas. There are alot of cool coves to paddle into toward the south. And nothing beats a cold one after hiking back up![signature]
