Lake mead stripers Need tips!

[DJGGustafson]

I'm going to kingman wash saturday evening for some stripers, I was out there about 2 months ago and caught 53 over 2 hours, but all were under 3 lbs, and I fish in the cove. Any tips on how maybe I can hook up on something a little bigger?

Fish between November and April for bigger. Very rare to get something big right now

I was thinking that, I do have an 8'0 that I can throe farther if needed, but whqt could maybe say "increase" my chacnes of something, big is good, but I mean even an 8lber would be nice. Any specific lures, or baits.

I have caught all my big fish on storm swim shads. I just try to make sure they match the size if the bait in the water. In boils I let it drop down a bit, seems like the bigger fish tend to stay deeper while the dinks get into surface shad. I have also caught some nice ones on cut bait too fishing at night under lights.

Thanks! And say I rent a boat at the lake, how's the best way to go about finding fish? I doubt they'll have a fish finder, so would you say maybe throw different swimbaits and hard bait early in coves, and as it gets warmer maybe troll right outside the coves? I have miniature dipsy diver so I can get spoons down deep, and I have one ofthe new 6" savagear trout swimbaits.

Best bet is to be on the water as early as you can. I try to get there when its still dark. The stripers come into the coves early and chase the shad, most coves hold bait fish. We usually just cove hop and try to stay on the boils / slurps.
