Non-yak: Mohave 4/15
I got up this morning with the wind blowing. It's been blowing from the 20's to 50's the last few days. So I decided to fish anyways. I ran to the warehouse to pick up the boat and then hit the road. It's about an hour fifteen minute drive to the boat launch from Vegas. I got on the water late, around 7ish, started fishing around 7:40am. The first spot I stopped at was pretty dead, so moved on a little further up the lake. Things were slow and the wind blowing hard. I wound up hitting two deep pockets that were some what protected. The first pocket I managed a small jaw just over 18" a good 3lbs and then the second pocket I picked up four more, another over 18" and two just over 19" and one I didn't measure (about 12 1/2"). The numbers were not great, but the quality was definitely there. The biggest was pushing 3 3/4-4lbs. Very healthy fish. The big one had about four with her all the same size and bigger. The lake is in pre-spawn mode and a few spawning up on the north end. I have not seen any fry or anything in the water like most other lakes I've been to lately. There were a few bed fish at the boat launch area posted up ready to go, nice size males, 2-3lb range. I'd love to see the ladies they attract. There were a ton of cruising fish on the lake. It was hard to tell what they all were due to the wind. I know I saw some smallies, but a good majority was most likely carp. Picture is from the first fish of the day!
