The Lake is Warming Up!

We have been out to Mead three times this year so far but I was to big of a wuss to get into the cold water so we only fished on the first two trips out. Well the water is in the 70's finally so we were able to do some swimming and start doing some wake boarding, and power-tubin! We went out to Echo Bay Marina a bit further out (about 70 miles from home). I had not seen this Mariana yet but we went out to help a friend with the remodel their family houseboat. Nice quiet Marina much less busy that Vegas, Callville, or Hemingway Marinas. Great sandy beaches and coves in this area and I found a new killer campsite at the end of a long narrow cove with a nice flat sandy spot to land on. Also saw some big fish lurking just off the shore and was able to catch a bass on my second cast. Up till now all I have been able to catch has been tiny little strippers on worms. Summer has defiantly arrived.

Nice Calm Water! Cant tell in pic but water is 110' down from water line!

Finally caught a nice little bass on 2nd cast!

Friends feeding fish at the Marina.

Emilee at Echo Bay. Thinks shes a pirate with that bandanna.
