My fishing experience Saturday evening was about the same, though I'm not sure I know what I'm doing. I've never had a double digit fish night since I first started fishing Mead about 9 months ago. The best I've done was 6 stripers on a December night. A 20+ fish outing sounds like a glorious and tantalizing pipe dream that I'd love to take part in.
I got on the water at Boulder Harbor about 3:00pm Saturday and went over by Hole 33 trying a crank bait for a little bit with no action. Then tried netting some bait up near the wash with no success. Moved onto anchoring and fishing with cut anchovies and sardines between Goverment Wash and Hole 33. Had one bite that didn't hook up because I think my hook was too small for the size of bait I had on. Then tried trolling or drifting around that area out past Sand (not an) Island. Gave up about 10:30 and headed over to the Boulder Beach area. Anchored a bit west of some other boats fishing in that area and tried fishing cut sardines and anchovies until giving up with no action around 1:30am.
Oh well... that's why it's called fishing and not catching.
One of these days I hope to get into some of that fast action for stripers I've seen mention of in prior posts.
