Here's some tips, 1st get that Modelo on ice quick, lol. 2nd buy some dry ice for your anchovies, it keeps them frozen all day or night. Also night fishing is great for striper, they love to come into the shallow. If you can castnet for shad they work great also. Tight lines.
Thank you I really appreciate the knowledge you provided me. And I can't believe I forgot about getting Modelo on ice quickly. That should have been my first step in my tutorial 🤣.
that's a great video for beginners. well done. may i add, On my business trips to Las Vegas, I have always rented a car and gone fishing at Mead at least 1 day, if not 2 or 3, and i've always fished from the bank. i've caught quite a few both smallmouth and largemouth on plastic worms and spinners. it's a great fishery. tight lines!
Great vid, that sure will help many of the new to vegas folks. I wish I had this info when I got here 3 years ago. Thanks again. Now lets keep those lines tight.
Great editing! If I visit Nevada, And thanks to this video I know exactly where to get a license and what to target. Had no idea you use anchovies for bait out there, great video!
Use circle hooks and magic thread to tie your anchovies to the shank of the hook. That will keep on even the softest baits. Works great for chicken livers too. Good luck!
Loved the video but missed some answers imo… you’re using split shots, and size 1 or 1/0 but not showing us the actual set up… I would love to know if you’re just fishing off the bottom, or like slow reeling or cast and reel similar to a kastmaster/spinner? Wonderful video though!!
Very useful information. Getting back into fishing and dont know much about Lake Mead. What's a good time of day during January and February? Any advice will be much appreciated.
If I'm being completely honest I'm not sure. It depends on what your fishing for but for striper I think very early morning is still the best time to fish. Personally I've struggled to catch fish in the winter but when I did it was very early in the morning.
Dude! Thanks for the video!! I’m kind of starting off. I’ve fished a little bit but.... not enough and with no guidance so I’m looking around, trying to learn, found you on a Las Vegas fishing FB group. Hey I probably missed it but when is the best time to go fishing out there? I have only ever had any luck fishing at like 4am out there and I’m kind of afraid to go out there alone at 4am so... I went to lorenzi park today and had a good time fishing but I didn’t catch anything. Not sure if I’m hooking up my line right and I kept having this issue where the line was getting weirdly tangled. I also have that 13 dollar fishing rod from Walmart. Was curious if you had a simple explanation for why my line kept getting tangled in the reel and if you could maybe show a close up video of how you attach the weights and stuff. Basically how you set your pole up to fish. I guess. Don’t know the technical terms. Anyway you don’t have to spend a bunch of time answering me here if you are busy, I get it, but I’ll be on the lookout for another video. I wish you all the luck in the world! Thanks a ton!
I'm really glad this video helped you and let me start answering some of your questions. So I'm fairly new as well like I said in the video but I have been doing it for a year. I've noticed between the times of 3:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. is typically when I catch fish.
Also when I first started I had the same exact problem with the line. So something to keep in mind is there is braided line, fluorocarbon and monofilament. Monofilament is the cheap stuff that comes with rods and is stretchy. Monofilament also has a lot of memory so when you open your spool on your spinning rod a bunch of the line will coming off. There are ways to get around this like taking the line and sticking it in hot water when it's on your spool. So the monofilament will have new memory when it cools off to the diameter of you spool. But I didn't want to deal with this and I was lazy so I switched to braided line which is much better. Braided line isn't stretchy at all and it has absolutely no memory but the only problem with it is sometimes the fish can see it. So now I use fluorocarbon which looks like monofilament but it's completely different. It has some memory but not nearly as much as monofilament and it's clear so the fish have a harder time seeing it.
@@SeaBassOutdoors7 sweet! Perfect! Thanks for getting back to me so soon!! Okay yea I saw some spray at the store that is supposed to help with the memory thing but I wasn’t sure what that was about but now that you say that it makes sense. Thanks for the info! I’ll totally look into it! I appreciate the info a ton! My favorite place to fish and where I’ve caught the most fish is duck creek but it’s a little to far away for me to go often and I’ve been itching to do something so I’m going to start going to the parks around town more. Just to do something. Lake mead I haven’t been fishing at in a while because it’s kind of expensive to get in to but I will go eventually again so I really appreciate all the info and I’ll be on the lookout for a new video! :-) have a great one! Good luck!
@@takeadeepbreathin no problem anytime man. I'm very thankful I was able to help. Something you might find useful about lake Mead being expensive to get in is you can get in at night for free. Something I like to do is get there around 9:00 p.m. stay the night. And wake up at the crack of dawn.
I’m actually stationed out here and I’ve been having issues finding places to fish for bass. Do you know of any good bass fishing places I could go that don’t require a boat? Thanks! P.S you’ve definitely earned a subscribe from me!
@@SeaBassOutdoors7 well I really love fishing for largemouth/smallmouth. They had bunches of em back in NC. Not too sure if they have them here. If they do, that’s what I’d love to go fishing for. If not, stripped bass would be my next one to fish for.
@@TheFishingCrane wesley, i just got stationed at Nellis about a month back from NC. Going fishing for the first time at lake mead this weekend if you wanna link up
@@cterry5559 dude hell yeah! Is there anything I can contact you on? Me and my buddy are going tomorrow if you’d like to join. I have an extra pole just in case you don’t have anything yet
Yes! There is no dumb questions lol. There is no limit on stripers and the limit on catfish is 25 so basically I would be surprised if you reached your limit
I've been fishing at lake mead and have yet to catch a single fish. What is the amount of weight you suggest? I've tried all sorts of split shot, bullet weights and weighted lures and no luck.
For me personally split shots work the best. I believe I was using a number four or five split shot. I would put about four to five of them on my line.
that should work great just make sure you have your drag adjusted in case you catch a big catfish. My friend caught a 5.5 lb catfish out there a week ago
It depends on the time of the year but I would say during sunrise and sunset. I have most luck with stripers during 3am - 7am. catfish bite all throughout the night in my experience.
Yes I can. If you type in echo Bay in Google maps that's exactly where I went but let me send you a link to the exact the spot we were at maps.app.goo.gl/b4oJdUepYu3XWnP6A
@@SeaBassOutdoors7 wouldn't say I had bad experience there I've caught big fish my record is from there 37 inch striper. I've had some of the best times of my life there. But the fishing sucks now. Used to be able to catch many nice sized fish in boils in the summer now lucky to catch one edible size.... I've been fishing lake mead since 93' and never seen so much trash there in my life as lately either. Don't want sound so negative about the place I love but it's really gone to shit in the lower basin.... If you want to catch bigger fish though I'd try steward's point or echo bat area right now
I understand where you're coming from. Although I'm pretty new to fishing around lake Mead area I never knew how much better it was unfortunately. I do know it used to be called the fisherman's Paradise back in the '80s and '90s. A lot of the stripers I pull out that are longer are really skinny. They're starving. I appreciate the pointers. I go to echo Bay all the time but I've never been to stewards point. I'll have to check it out!

Thank you man. I'm glad this will help others!
Great video for people getting into fishing in your area! Nicely done!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very underrated video, great beginner guide
Thank you!
Perfect thank you! - just moved here and looking to get into it!
Awesome man! I hoped my information was helpful
Thanks for sharing what you've learned with others.
Anytime!!!
Great editing! If I visit Nevada, And thanks to this video I know exactly where to get a license and what to target. Had no idea you use anchovies for bait out there, great video!
I'm glad I can help people out side of Las Vegas! And ya I thought it was crazy on how well anchovies work!
Ahoy my fellow Vegas fisherman. Keep the vids coming
Will do man!
Thanks man , hope to see you out there one day 🤙🏾
Yeah man hopefully. I actually am going to Willow Beach a lot right now I haven't been to echo in a while!
@@SeaBassOutdoors7 any luck out there lately?
Thanks for the information
No problem. I hope it helps!
That was great, thanks for sharing, see you at the lake
Definitely, see you at the lake!
Thank you for sharing your experiences and insight.
No problem man! I love to help!
Thank you for all the great information….. your videos rock bro 😎
Love to watch you catch em 👊
No problem man! Thank you for checking this video out I'm glad to help others!
Nice job man. I've never been there! I live in Delaware
Yeah that's definitely far😂
Thanks for sharing if you can do a follow-up episode on your experienced gained from fishing on lake Mead that would be helpful too...🤝
I definitely plan to do so. I'm still learning a lot myself so as soon as I feel like I have enough to share I will make more videos!
Use circle hooks and magic thread to tie your anchovies to the shank of the hook. That will keep on even the softest baits. Works great for chicken livers too. Good luck!
I think that is something similar to the egg loop not where you can essentially lasso your bait so it stays on better at the top of the hook?
@@SeaBassOutdoors7 Yep. The egg knot loop is for advanced knot tiers....The magic thread is for others...lol. Tight lines!!
That place looks awesome🔥💯
Thanks. I've wanted to fish there but been clueless.
Awesome. That is the whole reason why I decided to make this video!

Where should i go fishing at leak mead ,awsome video trying to get back into ut with the kids now ,thanks a mill!
I wish you luck out there! Tight lines!
Thanks that was helpful...
Anytime!
A wonderful video！Do you have a direct location? Caz I went to Leak Mead last time but can’t find this place. And is there any fee for fishing there?
This is echo Bay. It's about an hour and a half from Las Vegas

That place is sooooo low! Crazy.
Yeah it's falling so much recently. It's really sad
I love this already
Good info thanks
No problem
Good stuff 👏.....
Thanks 👍
Where on the line do you put the hook & weight? Weight on the tip and hook 2’ up, vise versa? Does it not matter?
Thanks in advance.
I believe I put the way above the swivel. After the swivel is a leader and that's where the hook goes
Super informative! Great video 😁
Thank you!
Thanks for this!
Anytime man
TY so much! Very helpful
No problem man!
Having an 18 pack of Modelo is definitely the most important part of fishing at lake Mead, hydration.
Awesome video
What’s a good time to get there at echo bay. May want to try it out this weekend. TIA
Definitely between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. unfortunately it's the most inconvenient time for us 🤣
Молодец, хорошее видео, интересное👍
Thanks for the tips!
No problem!
super dope! very informative :)
Please can you tell me the best season of year, optimal temperature of water and day time to fish in lake mead?
If you're going for bass the best times are between May and September. For catfish it's easiest between April to September. Hope this helps 😊
Thanks 👍🙏👍🙏👍

Way to many anchovies on that hook bud you only need half an anchovy..
Yeah if they're frozen and they stay on the hook. Mine were room temperature so half of them would fly off when I cast out
And when you all break that Chinese rod and reel please dispose of it properly .
