So I headed out to Lake Mead on Sunday thinking it should be pretty dead out there because of the game. Got on the lake about 5:30am and headed to crawdad cove. Jigged the usual spots and nothing, headed into the wash, with my new handy dandy humminbird 798CI SI HD and WOW, found fish everywhere. First found them in 80' feet of water, dropped the jig and bam, got one, dropped again and bam. That last about ten minutes until the school moved. Had to follow the school around but every time I dropped the jig I would get a hit. Moved to shallow water where the river inlet is in about 35' of water and stayed there until noon. Landed about 45 fish, biggest about 2 lbs all C&R. Did see a lot of boats in the wash but didn't see anyone pulling up fish. But did see some kind of fishing jumping, they weren't carp (Carp were present), about 10-12 inches long, maybe gizzard shad or something, anyone know? Anyways, great day on the lake wind calmed down and turned out to be a great day.
