This is my attempt to post with pictures: Here's some information on live bait fishing. The picture below shows the set-up that I favor. A sliding sinker tube on the main line, a swivel separating the main line from the leader, and a live bait hook tied to the leader. The tube allows the weight to be changed without a retieng the line. Monofiliment for the main line and fluorocarbon for the 3' leader.

Line counter reels are great for live bait fishing. These reels enable you to know about what depth your bait is at.

Shad that did not make the hook are frozen for later use:

It's time to start thinking about tossing a net soon!
The following picture shows some of the lures that are successful at Lake Mead when fishing for stripers:

Can you pick out the real shad in the picture?
