    • @Busydad
      @Busydad  6 месяцев назад +2

      Welcome to Vegas! Usually, bass spawning time is in the spring between May and June. All bass lures will produce. During summer, top water lures, swim baits, and plastics (ned rig and senko) as wells as spinner baits should work. There are various coves around lake mead if you’re fishing for bass from shore but if you have a boat or kayak there are more spots. Thank you for watching my videos 🙏

    Coming from Ohio and been here for 20 years as I never explore lake until my son it old enough now.
    This Friday 9/13 I’m taking my son to the lake and trying to find a spot that he will catch a fish.
    Any recommendations?

    • @Busydad
      @Busydad  4 месяца назад +1

      Thank you for watching and commenting. 🙏 Hatchery Saddle Point, Boulder Harbor, the fishing pier are spots you might try. For Boulder Harbor you’ll need to hike a bit so if you want easy access, Saddle Point or the fishing pier might be a good spot. It will be best if you could get there early in the morning. Once the sun comes up and gets hot, the fish will go into deeper waters. Good luck and I hope your son will catch a big one!

    I always get skunked in lake mead so thank you for these spots! Curious what you use for bait ?

    • @Busydad
      @Busydad  5 месяцев назад

      Thank you for watching and commenting. If I’m fishing for stripers and catfish, my go to bait is frozen anchovies on a Carolina rig. Others use night crawlers and stink bait also. For carp, I use pack bait (panko & corn flake cereal) in the cage with can corn on the hook or hair rig with fake corn. With lures, I use top water lures like whopper plopper or spook and swim baits for Stripers and bass as well as ned rig (for smallies). If I’m on my kayak I’ll also use plastic worms, A-rig, spinner bait and jigs. I hope this helps. 🙏

    • @Busydad
      @Busydad  6 месяцев назад +1

      For trout go to Willow Beach. They usually release them on Thursday (sometimes Friday) morning. You can go for trout as well as stripers looking to eat the released trout. Once it gets cooler they’ll start releasing trout at Veterans Memorial Park (Boulder Pond) as well as Sunset Park. Check out the NDOW’s site for release schedule. Thanks for watching my videos. 🙏

    • @Busydad
      @Busydad  5 месяцев назад +1

      It was nice meeting you too! For carp, I’m sure they are everywhere but I like Hatchery Saddle Point, Special Events Beach and canoe/kayak beach(once it gets cooler w/ less families out and about). If it’s not too busy the fishing pier is good for carp too. I also like Box Car cove. Of course things can change with the drop in water level. I hope this helps and I look forward to seeing you on the water soon!

    I was off to your left with my son. I waved at you once. Anyway great video and awesome to see you out there fishing.
    By the way we didn’t get anything there or down by Boulder Beach. How did you do?

    • @Busydad
      @Busydad  6 месяцев назад +1

      Yes, those guys were loud. They were blasting their music earlier and it makes it tough as I need to remove the music as RUclips will demonetize videos with copyrighted music. Anyway, I decided to fish at Govt Wash as I heard they are closing the Government Wash Road on August 1st. Not sure if it’s temporary or permanent but I’ll do some research and let folks know about it in the video. I was able to catch 3 stripers, a catfish and a huge snapping turtle today. After I went to check out a few spots off the 8 mile road for future visits. Next time come say hello and I could include you and your son in the video. Take care and hope to see you guys again soon!

    I’m new to fishing in Vegas and I just want to know what species and what rigs should I use for fish here

    • @Busydad
      @Busydad  6 месяцев назад +1

      For stripers, live shad (by cast net) will produce you the most fish. Otherwise, Carolina rig with frozen anchovies. Swim baits, Alabama rig, top water plugs if fishing by artificial. For bass (large mouth and small mouth) night crawlers, swim baits, top water lures and plastics (ned rig, senko). For trout, power bait, spoons, spinners, and flies. For Catfish, Carolina rig with night crawlers, anchovies, chicken, hot dog, marshmallows, stink bait should work. For bluegill and sun fish night crawlers on a small hook using a bobber. For carp use pack bait with corn (or fake corn) on the hook. If you have access to a boat or kayak there are more options too. But hopefully this helps. If not let me know. Welcome to Las Vegas and hope to see you on the water one day. Thank you for watching my videos. 🙏

    Where can you catch large mouth bass?

    • @Busydad
      @Busydad  6 месяцев назад +1

      If you fishing from the bank they are usually in various coves at Lake Mead. I’ve caught them near Hemenway, Hatchery Saddle Point, Boulder Harbor Sunset Lookout. With the water level dropping they tend to move around. Join the Southern Nevada kayak Anglers group on Facebook as they do monthly tournaments for bass and they can probably give you a much better answer. Desert Shore is a gated community but the ponds in there have good size large mouth. Unfortunately, you do need to live there or fish with someone who has a pass. Not sure where you live but Floyd Lamb Park also stock bass there too. Hope this helps.

    Hi Peter,
    Nice video! I initially thought you were going to do them all in one day! Then I realized "he can't." Went fishing last week at Floyd Lamb-caught 1 carp. Put up a nice fight and finally I christened my new net. Worked well. BTW, how do you rate that Casio fishing watch? Any faith in it? My watch was positive and I did catch a carp but its too early to say if it really works. OK, all for now. Will catch you next time.

      So far I really like the watch. It seems to be working pretty consistently, especially fishing at Lake Mead. Not sure how it works at local ponds as I’ve caught a few when the indicator was blank but it gives me some knowledge that I don’t possess for $20. Congrats on catching a carp as I’m sure it put up a great fight. Thank you always for watching and commenting. 🙏 Stay cool and talk soon!
