[cool]I did my usual friday trip to lake mead for stripers at the trout plants. I hit pumphouse cove( the one behind the hatchery; B-5?) and tossed a 6" L.A. slider. Got hit on the fourth cast at 15' by a 2lber who then jumped like a largemouth and threw the hook. Saw another chase a 5" trout so I got out the 4" slider. Tossed out to a boil and fish on! A nice eaten size 1lb 15oz. Threw the small slider some more for nada. Switched to the 6" slider. Tossed at another boil further off the point and got hit twice but no fish. Threw at him again and hook up! This guy fought harder and I was rewarded with a 3lb 12oz. This dude had one fat belly. When I cleaned him, he had three small trout and a 2" shad in his belly. What a pig! A full gut and still going for more. Tossed out on a couple other points and only had a 2lb smallmouth follow the slider back but not take. All in all it was a "good" friday. Happy Easter to all.
