Lake Mead Report Sun Nov 9th, 2003

[southernman]

Yah we had a great time even with some minor glitches . . . because of some minor mechanical problems, we hit the lake on sunday, instead of sat as planned, so we hit red rock west of vegas for some desert fun . .





here was southernman's date for the afternoon . . .



x-man canyon man

after a fun night in vegas it was off to lake mead at the crack of dawn. . .





we went out to deep water and starting jigging 'yo-yo' style . . Capt John showed us the technique, and promptly caught the first fish of the day in 5 seconds!



So we all started catching a few fish . . .heres some fish and ceceilia fighting a big one . .













if we only had 2-3 hrs to fish, we wouldve said this was a great fishing trip, but the next 4 hrs we hunted them down, riding the waves, following the shad and the birds . . but the weather has been yuk, and hte winter patterns are starting, so it was tough . . a fish here and there, caught a few casting, and even got a hookup trollingh the shallows when we were looking for some bait - the Capt threw the net a few times but nothing . . . so we got back about 1 pm, a good day, everybody caught fish - - just didnt knock em dead . . .

Capt John was really great, great boat, nice equipment, easy to use, and he got us all fish and what a good natured guide! We would recommend him to anyone coming to mead to fish . .you can go to his website at:
