lake mead stripers

[mathwhiz10]

im heading out to lake mead in march or april and i dont usually fish for stripers , any ideas

[plumbertom]

I've always done well using 4''-5'' white or pearl curly tails on a 1/2-3/4 oz lead head slow trolled at about 20'.
The only problem is you do catch a lot of schoolies dong that.

pencil poppers are good also. watch for the birds. then run for the schools under them. just don't bust up the schools of fish or other fishermen get mad.
if lures don't work, cut chovies. try different depths. down to bottem and then up a turn at time with pauses. that's how my dad and i fished for them when i lived there.

we used 6 to 12 lb line. understand that no record stripers are being caught up there now. average are 2 - 6 lbs.
