If you want some nice Lake Mead Shore access, head to 8 Mile Road. Take Lake Mead in north Las Vegas out to the lake, and make a left at that T in the road right after the ranger station, the one with the sign to Overton. Follow that til you hit " Mile Marker 8 " and you should see a pretty wide dirt road on your right. Follow that down and go past the campers and assorted nutcases that live there, and you can find alot of shore access. You don't need 4wd either.
Also, on Lake Mead in Henderson, keep going past the ranger station until you see signs for the Trout Hatchery, they will say closed for rennovations. Right past there is a dirt road on the immediate left, Saddle cove I belive its called. Follow that down and you'll hit a fork.
the left fork is usually crowded, and lot of morons are there. If you take the right fork, and make your first left, you can go down a nice area, seems a bit shallower though. You'll be fishing by the side of the moutain there. Again, no need for 4wd there.
These are the two places I head too.
Also, If its a bit breezy at your house, it may be worse out at the lake. I generally don't like fishing in 2 foot waves.. he he eh..
I'm heading down to 8 mile road on Wednesday and going to take my camera with me, I'll be able to take some pictures of the area if you like, for some reference.
