[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]There are local striper clubs devote to catching land locked (fresh water) striped bass in Lake Mead and the surrounding areas. The problem with Bass Pro is that it's not as familiar with the local area as you would like to think. Also, what works in salt water may not work to fish who have adapted to the inland waters.[/size][/black][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]I also believe the larger stripers are a lot easier to get on at specific times of year. Trolling AC plugs, one method that is highly toted but I really question the consistency. 95% of the stripers I've caught and know of were caught by chumming heavily and bait fishing specific depths or live shad fishing, usually over deep water. These stripers are small though. Averaging 2- 6 pounds but the numbers can be awesome on a hot bite. [/size][/black][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Check out the Nevada board. There are some guys there that specifically target Lake Mead for stripers. The same methods should work below the dam as well. Also ask about any of the local striper clubs and how to contact them. Good Luck.[/size][/black][/font]
