I have recently moved to Henderson Nevada and am looking at doing some fishing.
I am from New Zealand and am used to sea shore fishing. So my first question since I am a total lake novice is what sort of gear should I be looking at, im looking at something cheep and cheerful, kinda like walmart stuff. I am on a visa so Im not looking at long term investments.
By gear I mean rod, line, hooks etc.
Is mead my best bet for shore fishing near Henderson?
If so, where should I go for shore fishing, does time of day matter, are any days super crowded? and what baits should I use?
In short - Usa/Lake novice
1. What gear should I use
2. where at mead should I fish from the shore
3. What bait should I use (Am a fan of Gulp back in NZ)
4. What time should I fish?
Sorry for the basic questions, this is a new world for me, and I want to go in prepared. I have read a number of forum posts, but all pretty much assume you have basic knowlegde of American fishing, where as I dont really.
If it means anything, I fish catch and release, so eating quality isnt to much of a concern for me, verses fight and size.
