Lake Mead - The Forgotten Coves!!! 

Hope you all have a great weekend. Thanks for keeping up with the vids 🤝

Brilliant quote of the week, "I don't want to think I'm just trying to fish" 😂😂😂

You know it's going to be a great Friday when sin city uploads 😁

Sweet video! Love to see you and your dad out there catching fish and having a great time, Sr thanks for your service 🇺🇸👍🏼

Did 22 years in Army retired n 1987. Was assigned to 101 last three years and wound up having both knees replaced so your comment on todays segment was spot on.

This is just so sad for me. We stayed there several times in the mid-90’s and now everything is gone - the little store with bait and popcorn, the fish begging for food, the dock and tons of house boats - it’s all gone! I could cry. I’m glad you are getting some fish. We stayed out there for hours in 1997 and caught nothing! It’s probably easier now to get fish for sure.

It's so cool that you guys can just Roll down to the lake and catch food for the next day. I've been to lake mead quite a few times but never really catch anything when I rent a boat. I've only randomly caught a catfish on a worm.But I have learned a lot from you guys about looking for boils and things like that.

We used to love going to Overton and Echo back in the 80's and 90's. Lots of sandy beaches in the back of the Virgin River arm to camp at and the fishing was always great. Like you said, there are different species that prefer different parts of the lake, we used to catch mainly catfish, striper, largemouths, and crappie. There weren't really any small mouths back then. We also used to occasionally catch these green softshell turtles on anchovies near the Virgin River inlet. They're ugly and mean as hell when you get them in the boat lol! Good times!

I drop whatever I’m doing to hear and watch your updates if possible. Rumor has it Mead will be up a foot by Sunday. Great fishing for you enjoy. I first went there in mid 70’s, last time there mid 90’s. Great memories, restore its glory. Great crappie!

Heard there releasing more water toward you all from lake Powell hope that help maintain lake levels

I grew up calling them 'white perch'. And then as a teenager we started fishing in the newly constructed Pearl River /Barnett reservoir near Jackson, MS, and everybody started saying, Hey, the crappie are really biting. And it was pronounced "croppy", and maybe the way you said it, crap-ee. I still think of them as white perch. Love your channel, and your family. Oh yeah, those really big ones? We call them slabs. Great eating!

No matter what you call it, it's the best fish to eat. They are also fun to catch. You can also freeze them by putting the fillet into gallon ziplock freezer bags. They are good for about a year. I sometimes use House Autry seafood breader, pour it into a paper bag, then throw in the fillet and shake the bag. Then we deep fry the fillets. Add some slaw to the plate with some Tartar sauce and a little Cayenne pepper. I am hungry already. Great video. By the way I have the Minkota Ulterra trolling motor and I love it. I still use the foot pedal mostly but I keep the remote close by.

ALWAYS ENJOY WATCHING AND LISTENING TO YOU GUYS. I WISH I COULD HAVE TRIED THAT SANDWICH, LOOKS GOOD! SR. AND MOM, YOU'VE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB WITH THOSE YOUNG MEN.

Best fishing I ever had was crappie fishing when the water was warning in spring at Salamonie reservior in Indiana. All 3 of us caught the limit. Good times. We say croppy too. 😆 Stumbled across you guys channel when I was searching for Lake Mead drought news. Fun to watch. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us on RU-vid.

I was born in Vegas and raised in Overton/Logandale. Good memories in Echo Bay fishing with my dad and grandpa and cliff jumping with friends. Awesome to see you guys covering that area especially since I moved to Washington state a long time ago. Thanks boys 🤙🏽

Thank y'all for your great footage. I grew up on Lake Mead. 1980 on. Happy to see the level rising. Only once in 1983 the water overflowed the dam and they opened the spillways. The Overton Arm is where the Virgin River and the Muddy River flow into the lake, but the muddy river used to be clear and the virgin river was muddy.😅 True story.

Many fun memories fishing with my dad and family on Lake Erie. Best tasting fish are the ones you pulled out of the lake yourselves.

Found you guys though the lake Mead updates. May have been when you started. But lived in North Henderson years ago. Miss that lake. Love what you do. Keep up the great work. Dreams of Double digit bass......

My grandmother used to love fishing and crappie was her favorite, fishing was her therapy, thanks guys

I spent a lot of trips with my parents as a child at Echo Bay. We would actually stay in the hotel. It was so fun lots of ants though

Tartare sauce! A nice addition, I didn't know that it was much of a thing over your side. It goes great with fish and chips, I can see it working with your lake food. 👍 Those toasties looked great too!

6:42 there are a lot of rocks (hills) like that in Nee Mexico. It is actually very common. I had geology last semester and just did my best to pass it. What I do remember is that it does take thousands of years for those to form and they are at tectonic plate converging.

Thanks for going back to Mead. We love the updates. Great fishing and cooking. Yummers.

YEPPER, I REMEMBER THAT AREA BACK IN ABOUT 2000 OR SO. THE WATER LEVEL WAS VERY HIGH, AND CLEAR LIKE BATH WATER. THAT IS WHEN I BOUGHT A NEW DIRECT FUEL INJECTED JET SKI, & YANKED THAT THING BEHIND MY 86 MUSTANG GT TO MANY, MANY LAKES. I'D SET THE CRUISE AT 90, & LET HER GO. DAMN THAT CAR WAS A ROAD TRIP KING. FINALLY GOT RID OF IT WITH OVER 326,000 MILES ON IT. I JET SKIED ALL OVER MEAD, POWELL, MOHAVE, ETC. DANG I MISS THOSE DAYS.

I'm from N. Northeastern Minnesota ab grew up in walleyes, but started fishing black crappies when I was 60 and I love them. our average size is 12:. We mainly fish for them on hard water (ice)/ Thanks for this you tube!

Good to see you guys back father and son remind me of me and my dad Love and respect From Phoenix Arizona

You guys are so awesome AWESOME at what you do for us. I have tons of respect for you and this channel because you’ve been doing it so long and it Definitely shows how strong of a family you are ❤️❗️ Love it that you love history. I would really like to come out and visit you and possibly do some fishing as well. I truly hope that you’re making the Big Bucks with your channel because you deserve it. Also like that you’ve been sharing more than just on Saturday’s. Keep safe and healthy on all your adventures and travels. Blessings from Paso Robles, California, Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊❗️

I've never been to that part of the lake. Cool to see!! I'd be interested in seeing what the eastern part of the lake looks. We would go up to Sandy Point and boat camp!! With the lake as low as it is, it's probably not even there anymore!! 😢 Always cool to see your adventures. It will be cool to see the collaboration video!! I also believe in creation rather than science. As always great video. Keep up the good work!!

Starting my weekend off right with your video. It always brightens my day to watch a new video of yours. Have a great weekend and thanks for exposing the northern arm of the lake.

Awesome to see you guys back on Mead!! Another awesome video!

Temple Bar next weekend for us. Been going for 70 years as a family !!! Would love to connect one day in y'all are on the lake !!!

Buy senior some Arnica gel for his knee. My dad and I have used it over 40 years and swear by it. It’s immediate relief. Great channel, videos and love your family’s positive spirit! I’m from Connecticut and we say “Crappy”.

ohhhh that's my favorite part of the lake...the camping, the burros, the road runners...it's just quieter and wilder

You pronounce it the way I was taught. Georgia says Crappy. Ohio, Indiana and Michigan call it Crappie. And yes, they are excellent tasting fish. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for all you do.

The plates rubbed together and came up🤣🤣. You are right God made it all in one week. It’s fun to enjoy HIS creation.

Great video. Thanks for taking us fishing and the crappie looked great.

Thank for going around to the far side of Lake Mead. Never seen that side of the lake.

I remember that whole end of the lake from the 80's. Sad to see it all abandoned high and dry.

I never comment on videos or anything and I don't even know if you guys will see this but I just have to say I'm a huge huge fan of you guys. I've been following you for years and I love watching the growth of your page. I was so upset when u had to stop filming for awhile and I've been so happy since you guys have came back with all the permits and everything they made u do. Thank you for giving us something so good 🙂

Dude, the end of the week, pop open a few cold ones and watch something new from SCO! It's gonna be a good weekend!

Wow. I grew up in Moapa Valley. Lived on the Muddy River in Glendale. Went to High school in Overton. Me and my buddy went to Overton Beach and Echo Bay all the time to go canoeing. It doesn't look like it did back in the late 70s. Sad to see how it looks today.

Me and the wife love watching your videos, always interesting, good fishing, good hunting and history lessons. They do call CRAPpie in the south, Florida they call em specs. Here in Oklahoma you can catch slabs 2 to 3lb. We don't hunt them like we did when we were younger, we just fill the freezer. Lol. Tried to put a pic of one of my wife's big ones, yt wouldn't let me. Fish looked delicious. Keep em coming BOOMER SOONER

Love the video, I enjoyed seeing another part of the lake. I always enjoy the catch and cooks. Senior, thank you for your service to our country!!!!

always enjoy your videos. keep up the great work. dad is raising some great sons there!

Love your family- you guys are a great example! Great vid- I'm gonna check out Echo Bay tomorrow

My family and I stayed at Echo Bay growing up. Loved it.

Crappie filets dipped in mustard then coated corn meal/cayenne pepper mix are great. My dad's favorite.

Thank you for sharing the beuty of the west. take care ❤️🎣

I don’t even fish but I love all your videos. Have been going to Lake Mead since the 80’s-hubby even longer. One of our honeymoon nights was at the Echo Bay Lodge in 1985.

Catch, clean, cook, consume! Glad you guys are back, Enjoy the crappie, gentleman!

That area where you're questioning the rock layering angles, it's hard to say without seeing a little closer the rock types involved. but it looks to me like large scale landslides took place a long time ago, that rotated those denser looking rock strata to high angles, and more recent sedimentation has created the more horizontal looking layers in between the "chunks" or blocks of landslide debri. All these rocks look to be sandstones or mudstones, so they all formed under water, likely back when this part of the continent was covered by a shallow sea, landslides on continental margins are common and can happen at large scales. Remember the cliff faces you are seeing are a 2d slice through a more complicated 3d structure, so it can look confusing without spending a lot of time mapping it out and collecting qualitative data on rock types, rock ages, contained fossils, bed angles and the like. Interesting area for sure, Thanks for sharing it!

Years ago my friend and I got sent over to the other side like 45 miles not far from Valley of Fire park and the only thing we caught was hell from a giant horse fly intent on getting on our backs so we left to explore that park.

In the 1980s ice to launch my boat out of echo Bay. I I used to I would drive past Vegas and get off and go through the valley of fire and then go to echo Bay and it was thriving back then and beautiful.

You boy's are doing justice for sure! 👍 Love your channel, SCO...

I have never fished a day in my life, but I enjoy your videos.

"Back in the day, like the 90s and stuff"... Makes me feel old! Lol

Always great to see you guys!

One of the few channels I watch videos through on. Honestly it's fun as hell hanging out via YT with you guys and seeing how fishing is out West in these areas.

Thanks for sharing…we used to drop our boats into the water at Echo Bay in the 90’s! This video brings back a lot of memories!

You opening the lid to that live well reminded me of the time I had caught a huge wall mounting bass. My brother-in-law, May he RIP, opened the lid on that live well, and that bass saw an opportunity, and jumped back into the water from the live well and never touched the boat. Lol. I’ll never forget that. I think that bass had seen that movie before. Lol

Monterey California area 🌊 sending good vibes. always good content..🤝🏻

Wish I was there! You guys are living the Life!!!

Refreshing to hear dad say CREATION. 😀

This channel has really blown up over the past year or so

Glad to see some of the water is back in the lake and the fishing is good. Have a wonderful day

Thanks for explaining more in detail on the monitor and the lure set-up yall make a good team on land and water. Have a great day brothers👊🙏😎

Love your videos gentlemen. Please keep them going. AIRBORNE!

Good job guy's, man we love it when you guy's catch and cook. Makes me hungry every time. Thanks for the video guy's, Keep castin.

I had to chuckle at the phrase “back in the 90’s”, to me the 90s seems like it was three weeks ago lol. Love the channel.😂😂😂😂😂

Beautiful lake, beautiful fish, beautiful meal! Thanks for another great vid.

Thank you guys

"It was a really popular destination, back in the day, back in the 90s" Now I feel old.

So so glad you boys are up and running again 🙌 ❤

Hope you get some more rain thinking of you guys from northern New York state

Another great video from Sin City Outdoors. I was moved when Sr said he believed in Creation as well as I do. Here in central Indiana we have lot's of old pits that are deep and cold I usually fish for Blue Gill but Crappie are my # 1 favorite, with some hushpuppies , and slaw. Iced Sweet Tea! Stay safe see y'all soon 🐟

Greetings from the BIG SKY. Over the last 30 years I've seen technology change fishing a great deal. Now, I feel that to know the 'bush' is only a part of fishing. Now we have a lot more variables to consider.

Yay! Seeing a new video on your channel makes my day!

So awesome seeing you guys out fishing again!

Thanks for showing another part of Lake Mead. Crappie are fun to catch and such good eating... Enjoy your feast!!!

I love your channel. I started following you when you started giving updates on the lake. You should be proud of yourselves, you definitely come from a very respectful family something that very hard to find in families today. My hats off to you guys!!!

Back in the 90s, then shows a black and white picture, damn junior!

Another amazing video you guys are awesome enjoy the history of lake mead. Thanks, Southern California.

I live in Oklahoma next to Canton Lake, my parents started a business at Canton 1968 before your Senior Dad was born. Our lake supplies water to Oklahoma City when Oklahoma goes into it’s 4 yr drought or longer and they drop the lake to where it’s sometimes only light bass boats can run on. Our lake sets on the flat plains in North West Oklahoma and at normal lake level the deepest part is 28 ft but yet the lake goes 19 miles from the spillway to the mouth of the N Canadian River. Okla has the most man made lakes in the United States. Looks like your lake is on the rise, the last time I was at Lake Mead it was running over the flood gates in 1999. Have a great weekend.

It was awesome fishing, including that bird that caught the shad! 😀 🎣

Making my mouth water thinking about the fresh fish and cook🙋🤤

Nice catch. I love crappie. Now I know where to go for crappie fishing.

Thanks for the Fri afternoon video drop, glad to see more of the lake

I love y’all’s channel. I always learn something from every video and I love your family!!

I am so happy to see your videos. I love the history that you tell about each place you visit😊❤May God Bless you and your family 😊❤

Great video. I remember that place in the 90s. Awesome memory.

Great seeing you guys back on the lake👊🏼👊🏼

Couple of items I added to my spice rack when frying up some catch... 1. Garlic and Ginger Paste. 2. Everything Topping (its the same stuff they put on 'Everything Bagels') I put this on veggies and salads too. Goes great on Fried Bread. On occasion, I dribble some Franks Red Hot Sauce for a Buffalo (fill in the fish). Good to see you showing what lures you're using for what fish you're after. Suggestion: If the northern parts of Mead have small sections of water(Ponds) it might be worth exploring to see if they hold any holdover monsters in them.

Thank you for showing what you use. It definitely helps me on what to use when I’m out fishin with my folks. Y’all are great.

Awesome job guys! I love how you are mixing in more fishing teaching content. Keep up the great work!

I spent my summers on Lake Mead in the mid to late 80's, looks very different and depressing to me. But I am glad that you are able to enjoy the lake. Secondary comment: marinade the fish in lime rum, cilantro, paprika, onions, sea salt over night. Grill it all together the next day.

Wow, love the show and all the content, I love when you go so full circle from Catching and frying up to eating and getting an idea of the flavor and taste from others. That is amazing how that area has changed from the 90s to the current. I love my Sin City Outdoors shirt and looking to get another. Keep up the great episodes I look forward to them. God bless

really enjoy watching you guys.

Really cool to see that part of the lake again. We started going over there early 90's to a place called Sterwarts point. We had some friends that had a home there that at one time had water right out back. You could drive down to the point and launch and camp. Lots of good memories. Years ago we started going to the Hemingway Harbor side so I havent seen the Overton area in forever it's so sad. Awesome video thank you.

I'm drooling. I haven't have lunch yet. Only been watching for the past several months. Ever went deep sea fishing? Next excursion, Hawaii.

Always looking forward to seeing your videos 😊
