The first trip to lake mead we launched from boulder harbor around midnight. Didn't really know where to fish so we decided to try out the islands. We could hear them jumping all night but did not really have any luck until 4 am. I also think this was due to the fact we were in too deep of water until 4 am. At four we found a channel I guess you would call it in between some of the islands. They were really jumping in this channel. My buddy caught the first one and it gave us inspiration we were actually going to catch something. We made a couple passes through the channel drifting with the current through the channel. Gave that up and tried a cove in the islands were it was not so deep. I think I caught one dink in the cove. Couldn't really get into any more stripers so we gave the carp a try. Chummed with corn and got one carp. Gave this spot up and tried fishing by the water facility thing off to the side of the boulder marina. Saw lots of fish on the finder so I was thinking it would be a hot spot. We saw a guy fishing it all night also... Caught a cat that had a fat belly. We caught everything on chovies besides for the carp.
