I was up near the water treatment facility picking up garbage from 9am-12pm for a school event and decided that since i was in the area i would do some fishing at lake mead afterwards. I arrived at 33 hole around 1 pm and around 1:15 arrived at my favorite spot. The wind was blowing very hard, I casted one of my lines in and was about to cast my second when a loud scream eruptted from behind me. One of my buddies hooked his girlfriend in the forehead while casting. So he pulls out the hook and her face is dripping with blood, it was like in the ufc when someone takes a sharp elbow to the forehead. So we decided to leave, and my girlfriend, her brother, and I headed over to boulder harbor. What a rough start for the day!
When we arrive at boulder harbor the fishing pier is packed with people so we decided to make a little hike to the left of that pier, past the boat launch, down a a hundred yards. It was around 2:30 now. Everyone we bumped into said it has been slow for the past hour. So we cast our lines in and patiently waited. Around 4 pm, my girlfriend's brother landed not only our first fish of the day, but his first striper ever. It was really happy for him, because he's gotten skunked every time before this. I landed our second fish around 4:30 pm, and our last fish around 5:15 pm. The first two didn't put up much of a fight, it was just like pulling in dead weight. The last striper i caught was a fun fight. We ended at 6 pm, was too bad my girl didnt catch anything.
