I used to fish from shore in the vegas wash area after they removed the docks (and before it was dry) and i have pulled in quite a few turtles like that. I stopped going out there cause i would get at least two turtles every time I went out. I felt too bad and had to find a new spot. ONe day, a couple of Japanese dudes were walking by when I landed one, and they were very excited when i tossed it in their ice chest. (it swallowed the hook and was in bad shape.)
As far as stripers being small....Get used to it. There are just too many small fish in the lake to have a good population of 5-15lbers. Too many small fish eating up all the shad.
Do your part!!!! Kill all the small stripers you catch! They didnt make the limit on stripers under 20" "Unlimited" for no reason. Until we can thin out the population a bit, we will continue to have a burgeoning number of 1 lbers.
But hey! Thats still a good looking ice-chest!
