Fishing Forum

Hey Guys,

While I am new to this forum I am not new to the forums back in my home state. I am stuck here in Vegas going to school for the next 6 weeks and am jonesing for some fishing. I understand Lake Mead is right over yonder and actually has a population of stripers and catfish. At this point I am not picky though I suspect most fishing at this time of year is at night. Works well for me cuz my classes don't end til 9pm and my weekends are my own.

Looking for suggestions on guides or anyone looking for a backseater. I'll pay for gas/food/drink! I'll also take suggestions on decent (safe) bank fishing prospects.

My name is Justin and I'm staying off the strip here in Vegas. I'm a straight up kinda feller and only looking for straight up kinda advice. Thanks to all who respond.

You never mentioned where you were visiting from? Let me guess.... Texas?

Anyhow the first thing you MUST do is buy your NV fishing license and of course some fishing gear. A Med 10# set-up and some bait hooks will do.

A go to bait at lake mead would be anchovies. With these few things your choices of where to bank fish are up to you. If your just looking for somewhere nearby go to 33hole or Sunset overview. Signs mark it clearly they are both parking lots off of lakeshore rd.

Descend down the hill find a spot and fish anchovies on the bottom. Chum some anchovies maybe move around a bit and you have a good chance at some catfish and if you’re lucky maybe some striper.

Don’t forget to bring water and at night remember a flashlight and bug-spray. Pretty much the basics of it. Let us know how you do. Enjoy your stay.

Thanks for the input Ben. I planned on getting a non- resident licence before I wet a line. Prolly make a run to BPS to pick up an inexpensive rod/reel set up. Don't know where the PM button is but I wouldn't mind hooking up.
