Well persistence paid off for you on the third trip. Are you guys driving to Kingman Wash from Vegas or Henderson?
If so, I know the albertson's in Boulder City usually has anchovy/sardine in the freezer endcap. just ask someone when you walk in rather than wandering around looking.
A lot of the "last chance stop" grocery stores on the way to lake tend to stock them. Some stores aren't always open 24hours anymore because of the economy. The food4less by my house closes at 2am now.
I always try to bring as many different options as possible. I never seem to use all the shrimp so I just keep refreezing it when I get home. If figure the stinkier it gets, the better for cats. Shrimp does seem to work best on cats but I caught my first largemouth on shrimp in the channel between the islands that used to be off Las Vegas Bay back in 1992. It was about 5:30 in the afternoon in the middle of summer. Quite a surprise. So shrimp is a good bait, but surely it is best to have both.
I've only fished Kingman Wash once, from shore. I didn't get any bites on the big rigs so I started catching bluegill instead. Bluegill have saved me from many skunks. I use berkeley gulp earthworms on a tiny gamakatsu single egg hook on ultralight tackle. 4'6" uglystick UL
haven't been out to the ponds for a while, sunset has been giving me the skunk lately. Thanks for the report.
