   The best striper fishing I've found is from a boat on Lake Mead, in Nevada
and Arizona.  You need to go a couple of miles from the high traffic areas,
but the results are worth it...and so is the shore scenery.  The last time
I went, we were dropping our hooks about 45-60 feet.   My wife and my 
daughter swam while we fished.  They went into some shallow pools near shore
and the small stripers (this was mid-September) were curious enough to swim 
p
to them.
