Lake mead and general fishing questions

[iamthesmf]

I found this technique while fishing for small stripers at the beach areas. Standard trout pole, spinning reel, 6lbs line and 1/16 to 1/8 oz lead head jig. Use a small chunk of anchovy. Cast out and let it fall on a tight line (close the bail) they will hit it on the fall. If nothing on the way down a catfish might get it on the bottom. Try casting out every 10-15 minutes for about an hour. Make sure you chum while fishing, cut the anchovies into pieces. The mid-sections are good for the hook and heads & tails for chum. This time of year you might look for deeper water, like cliffs that drop to 35 or deeper.
