Report: Day after the Lake Mead Classic. Went out at 5:30 Am. First cast on main lake point is a fish. Drop shotted and he hit as it fell off the drop into 20 ft. Drop shot bite morphed into a dropshot and darterhead/5"Kalins grub bite over emerging reefs around primary and first in secondary points. About 10:00 AM the front came in. Bite died for about 2 hours or I lost the fish...
Then the bite cut loose on a open hook rigged 3/16 oz. peahead worm. Used a purple Yamamoto cuttail and 6" "Warmouth" roboworm. They were coming out of 30 ft. of water to slam the peahead in about 10 ft. Pendulum bite for the most part... they didn't want any swimming action imparted to the peahead. They moved shallower as the day got later and cloud cover came over. |
Tips: Move around a lot. If you don't get bit in 20 minutes, time to fire the big mill. Fish are spread out but sometimes you will find groups. Big fish might be 2.5 lbs. |

Report: Been on a weightless bite and also a dropshot bite last week. The dropshot bite is on the walls from 20 to 50 ft. and produces smaller bass all day - anywhere near ledges or chunk rock 45° shorelines. using 1/4 oz. dropshot weight.
Weightless bite all day also in shady places and offshore early in the morning before recreation boat traffic gets going.
Got some early morning surface action on small stripers in Las Vegas Wash very early on Monday - May 21. |
Tips: For the weightless bite, lure size and presentation speed seem to be more key than color. Varied during the day with conditions.
In strong winds throwing a surface walking bait they would sslap at it and I could go back and catch them with follow up plastic. |
