Big Browns Report post Posted June 24, 2013 My wife and I went to Lake Mead on Saturday afternoon with some good friends. This was the first time my wife and I had every fished for Stripers. We were hoping the Striper's would be biting good, unfortunately they were not. We got on the water around 4:30 on Saturday afternoon. After trolling and casting we were able to land about a dozen Stripers and a few LM & SM Bass. All the Stripers were about 1 1/2-2 pounds. The most exciting part of the day was seeing my wife catch the fish. She has very limited fishing experience. Watching her get her first hit was great. She get's very animated! She did a great job and had a lot of fun. We fished until about 9pm Saturday night and called it a night. We were up early the next morning to hopefully find some good top water action. That was less than optimal. We landed some fish on top water and a few more Stripers, but over all the morning bite was very slow. We had a great time and I'm really looking forward to going Striper fishing again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jim Report post Posted June 26, 2013 We did have fun.The Last couple years we could catch stripers with ease from around 6 to 10 pm just trolling rattle traps. This year that bite has not been happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
