Newbie here, Need Help :(

[dizie]

Hi,

im new to nevada. been fishing bay area delta for years but i havent had much luck in lake mead.

I went shoreline at hole33, and got nothing. maybe something wrong with my bait (i used chovies)

then went on my tiny inflatable boat at boulder harbor. with ZERO luck.

literally, fish were jumping everywhere, yet nothing's biting! i used crankbaits, swimbaits, spinners, etc. nothing's hooking!

btw, what were those jumping fish? carps? bass? [crazy]


so any tips would help.

- at this time of year, should i go down deep for stripers? like 50-100 feet?

- what time do bass bite at rocky edges?

- should i go down deep? or stay at the cove?

- what lures do you use for trolling? and where do you troll?

- lastly, i set up my boat at boulder harbor (that's the only one i know), going back to govt wash/33 hole cove is too far away for a trolling motor -- are there any other coves/spots with good fishing?

i dont have fish finder here... so... yeah.. sucks.

help!

Ps.

any links to precious resources are welcome. thanks in advance!
