Hey guys, went to Hemmenway again last saturday and sunday morning. I didnt do any good due to wind on sat. On sun caught 7 stripers, 3 were about 4 inches, and 3 were about a pound and one was about two punds or so. I really need to get a scale. I cant figure out how to get anchovies to stay on the hook, but I have found that they arent to particular in what they eat, ive been having great luck with raw shrimp and squid. Its hard to not set the hook when you know that its just the little 4 inchers hitting your hook, but I just wait until I feel a big heavy tug then set the hook. I also bought some Hot Sauce fish gel which sure does get them to hold on a bit longer so as to set the hook. Im going out on sunday morning most likely, but will be trying a different shoreline. Maybe the west end of boulder beach by the big dike or what ever that is that seperates the lake mead marina from boulder beach....Has anyone else done any good from shore? Im hoping to target some larger fish.
