Sunday, 06/01/08- Hit the water early (4:45am). Nice calm water for the run to Las Vegas Wash. Pulled into the cove with the floating outhouse to find it loaded with bait. Quickly filled the livewells with 4"-5" shad. This is the best bait we have caught this year. Everyone tossing a net today was successful.
Headed to the area outside of Hole 33 and started putting shad to work. Stripers soon started slamming the live shad. We managed to put two five pounders, several four pounders, and a lot of three pounders in the box today! I was using a light action combo thinking we would catch little fish. To my surprise, something big grabbed it, snapped the pole as it rested in the holder and pulled the hook of the leader! No kidding! You gotta love live bait.
This was our best day of fishing in 2008. All fish were in fine condition. Wind started blowing about 10:00am. Off the water by 11:00am. Now is the time to get out there and toss a net!

P.S. Took pictures with the cell phone but can't get them to load. Will follow when I figure it out.
