Re: calling all lake mead boaters! nevada

A little personal update...was hoping to be able to snag a boat before the end of the year, but life has never been predictable so this will have to wait till about July or so. Oh well. It'll still happen.

Boats on craigslist suck right now,Hardly any new post lately.

Not sure if we'll be going the CL route. Leaning more towards the dealership route. At least that way we know the boats were at least inspected. But that's some time away for now.

If you have a Mechanic you trust, he would probably check it out for $50 or $100. When I bought the used Suburban I tow my Boat with I had my guy check out 2 of them. Glad I did the 1st one was a DOG.

Sadly I don't have a marine mechanic in my back pocket to bring along with me. Sure I could hire a marine surveyor but that may be kinda pricey every time we go out to look at a boat. But like I said, we do have till late spring to gather as much knoweladge as far as how to spot the red flags.

Never heard of this, what's this all about? Parade of lights more specifically since I'm a lot closer to lake mead marina then callville bay.

Parade of lights should be great on Mead. I've never seen them at the lake..been to Newport participating many times. That one's huge.

Does a red and green light on the bow count? If so, we're done decorating already!

Yup, the snow level was low last night. I was fishing out at Willow Beach last night as saw snow capped peaks in the morning, google earthed it and the hill is 4300', snow must have been down to 3000-3500' in that area. Sure was surprising to see snow on that "hill", never seen that before.

Re: calling all lake mead boaters! nevada

I usually don't go up there as I haven't done well. Caught a little 15#er casting around MM 61-62 this spring (only one I have ever caught that far up river) then a 38#er around MM 55 last year. I've seen pic's of big 40#+ stripers caught up there in the canyons, so they are up there...
