Lake Mead 09/19/04

[BaySport]

Sunday- 09/19/04, Hit the water early (5:00am). Weather station said wind warning begining at noon so we decided to give it a shot. At 5:00 am the Lake was smooth as glass,with big clouds over Arizona giving us an awsome thunder show. We tossed the net about a million times in the coves around Las Vegas Wash before we had enough live shad to fish with. We started fishing around Hole 33 and the bite was steady, although most of the fish were small. We released a lot of small stripers and two bigger fish that were very lean. We brought home 13 stripers. The weather held up nice until about 9:30 am when all of a sudden the water started to cap up. Its hard to drift in a strong wind so we packed up and headed in. There were four other boats fishing at anchor, near the red channel marker near Hole 33 when we left. We got off the Lake at about the right time, the wind kicked up hard around 11:00. The sailboats were headed out and the powerboats were headed in! Overall it was a great day. I can't wait until next time!
