I did not save the link I only recalled it.
I believe the secret to fishing lake mead is not to use sinkers. The fish (stripers and bass) seem to be able to see them. I have heard stores of people fishing all day with sinkers and then some one coming along telling them to rig up with out a sinker and cast out and catch them on the first cast in the same area they have been fishing all day.
I would test out the guys strategy above using the jig head with anchovy on it. Don't forget to post back and tell us how you did.
I have also heard that stripers like to bite in nasty rainy weather also.
The reason it is so hard to find out how to fish lake mead is that those who know how aren't really on the internet much. They are out catching fish :p. Also who wants to give away their secret to catching fish? I would try talking to people for their secrets. I learned alot from a guy at wally world buying lures. He showed me all his favorites and how to use them and when to use them. He also said for catching stripers you pretty much need a boat so you can find them and chase them.
Fishing at the trout plants would be your best bet to land stripe zilla from land. Altough that rig and lure is alot more expensive than a wallyworld rig but then again you have the chance to catch a big one. You also may only end up with a sore arm and frustrated after a day of chuckin the big wood as they say and not catching anything.
Good luck
