Launched out of Echo Bay on Thursday at 6:30 am and headed north to Stewarts Point. Found the muddy water in the back of two coves just north of the point. Started throwing crankbaits into the mud line and it was on. The fishing was insane!!! Caught 26 striper between two of us in the first forty minutes! Total for the day was 46 striper and off the water by noon. All fish were caught on 3' - 5' diving crankbaits in the muddy water. Largest topped the scale at an even 5 lbs and 22". Best day I have had on the Mead in several years. Thanks for all of the tips in recent posts, I would have never fished the muddy water without them. After two hours at the fish cleaner we weighed the fillets in at 15 lbs. Guys at the fire station are going to be eating good! Nellis AFB Fire Dept, just thought I would throw that out their before I get alot of hate responses about abusing your tax dollars!! LOL!!! Pictures will be uploded once I get them from my fishing buddy.
