Going to Lake Mead for first time...advice

[reellittlephish]

Mead has, IMO, a well deserved reputation for being tough. I experienced a long slow learning curve. That's coming from years of Southern California lakes which are known toughies... I'm more consistent now but I know the lake a lot better. I also upgraded through 3 boats to what I have now.

Then you came at a slow time. Come back in late March, April and May and bring a boat. Stripers start to school and blow up on the surface early mornings in May and June most years.
