Mead - Mead Stripers Provivde decent action

2004-09-27 Nevada Department of Wildlife

Striped bass fishing continues to be fairly good for boaters in the Boulder Basin while anglers who are trying their luck from shore are still being frustrated because few fish have been coming within their casting range.

Boaters have been doing well for stripers at Las Vegas Wash by fishing deep with anchovies. They are also catching stripers off Special Events Beach and in open water near the mouth of Government Wash.

Anglers have been reporting to the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) that they have been catching some stripers that are thin. This could be caused by a lack of shad due to poor spawning success this year of the small bait fish.

Several anglers have told NDOW that they have had good success for channel catfish during the past week at Special Events Beach.

Very few anglers took to the water over the weekend because of windy conditions. Creel census clerks checked three boaters over two days and they only brought in a pair of largemouth bass.
