Friday, 09/29/06- Hit the water at about 5:30 pm. Nice calm evening to be out on the lake. Filled the live wells quickly with shad at Las Vegas Wash. Looking forward to a great time night fishing. Started fishing around the Hole 33 area. We would soak live bait for awhile until stripers would surface, then out went the topwater lures. At one time a fish was hooked on both presentations! We enjoyed a beautiful red sunset over Las Vegas Wash. When darkness arrived, out went the underwater lights. These lights make a scary green glow under the boat. The object is to place the lights down about 10 feet deep and present the live bait above the stripers but below the lights. The theory is that the fish can see the bait above them. The plan worked well this time. We end up with 35 fish in the box, most about 2lbs. We released a lot of really small fish and a couple of skinny ones. At times there were tons of shad jumping around the boat. We used up all the bait by 10pm. Off the water by 11pm. What a great night

Sunday, 10/01/06- Hit the water early (5am). Tossing a net in Las Vegas Wash before sunrise. Filled the livewells pretty quick then headed to the channel to drift fish. Nice calm day for drifting around the channel! Scratched 5 off the surface with swim baits right away. Soon everything slowed down to a crawl. We fished everywhere we could find fish on the sonar and ended up with a dozen in the box. Pretty slow morning overall, but a great day to be on the water!
