Lake Mead Bluegill/Sunfish? - Mnorman81 - 07-31-2011 Hi everyone this is my first post here. I'd like to teach my nephew how to fish for sunfish and I was wondering if there are any shore accessible spots at lake mead. to catch them. We've tried the urban ponds in town and havent had much luck. Thank You Matt [signature] Re: [Mnorman81] Lake Mead Bluegill/Sunfish? - ihuntforfish - 08-02-2011 Spend a day at 33 hole exploring the coves, there are a lot of nice calm waters around there where the panfish hang out pretty thick - My favorite place for sunfish is about a mile past 33 hole at 'Sunset Overlook', the fishing is much better there in my opinion - Give it look! You'll have a great time [fishin] [signature] Re: [4poundonly] Mormon81 - TheWhizzle - 08-03-2011 Don't let 4lb discourage you, there are bluegill all over Mead. All you need is a bobber adjusted 6 to 12 feet above a #10 octopus hook, one small BB split-shot weight a foot from the hook, and a 1/2 inch piece of nightcrawler. Find a deep cove with plenty of vegetation. Fish the deep side of the weeds, and be patient. If you don't catch a fish in 30 minutes, move to a different spot in the cove. If that cove fails, move on. You will find fish. [signature] Re: [TheWhizzle] Mormon81 - 4poundonly - 08-04-2011 I'm very immature, sorry.
