Lake Mead 01-14-12 - wolfs4evr - 01-15-2012 Couldn't ask for a nicer day weather wise. 1-2mph chop now and then but for the most part the lake was glass from sun up to sun down. Fishing was so so. Caught a few so better than a skunk. Spent more time exploring and checking out new spots than anything else. Launched out of Callville and ended up WAY out east a little bit past the Temple Marina. Put over 70 miles on the boat today. Madi caught a nice LMB and we both caught several Stripers. She also got into something... Will never know. Hit and snapped her line in a second. No idea there. Very odd. Fresh line and the crank she was using I had just put on a few casts earlier so no nicks or anything. Has anyone ever caught a Northern Pike on Mead? Or heard of them in that lake at all? Her loss was just like a Pike hitting. Cut her line in second. The water was glass for most of the day...

They do that [signature] Re: [wolfs4evr] Lake Mead 01-14-12 - TheWhizzle - 01-15-2012 Yeah, no pike, but I'm sure there are a few mean stripers having trout withdraws. They might be taking their aggression out on the shad (and your cranks).
