I managed to get the wife into fishing! We're heading to BassPro tonight to grab a rod/reel for her and a license. And probably going to head out to the lake to try things out after that.
I have a vague suspicion I'll be the one putting all the bait on the hooks though!!
What's the best option for evening fishing? I was thinking maybe a top or near to the top water lure and maybe anchovies if that doesn't work? Something like a buzz bait seems to be recomended? (I got this off the internet, we don't really have this many options at home, it's crazy here!)
Also thinking of getting some of them plastic worm things they seem to be quite popular. But everything I see on the internet (myoutdoorTV.com is so cool btw) seems to say that you need to fish this sort of stuff near cover. I haven't seen that much cover in the couple of places I've been on lake Mead.
I'm guessing that the shore's so barren because the lake level has dropped so much so i'm not really going to find the overhangs and whatnot ?
Enjoying this though, it's good to try new things!
