Sunday, 11/20/11- Lanched the old aluminum boat off the shore of Gov't Wash at about 6:00 am. Three trucks with empty trailers already line the bank. I must be late. Time to motor over to the Las Vegas Wash.

The Wash. A nice calm day for netting shad.

No electric trolling motor, no fish finder, no live well. A push pole, oar, and a bucket, I'm feeling like Huck Finn! So there I am, pushing the open boat in shallow water, jumping up on the center bench when I see shad to toss the net. I wish Injun Joe was here to pole for me.

Lucky for me bait was plentiful. Only came close to falling off the bench once.

Shad ready to go to work. Don't overload the bucket or they won't live long!

Live bait striper caught while drifting in the calm waters of the wash.

More small live bait stripers.

Wind comes up fast, time to head back to Gov't Wash. What a great time on the water!
