I was at Mead out of Echo Bay the end of May. Air temps 111 to 115. We got on the water at 4:30 am and off by 10:30 am. Back on at 5:30 pm till 8:30 pm. The best LMB/SMB fishing was off steep drop offs from 5-15 feet with a drop off to 45-60 feet around the islands. Also fished the same pattern just out side the narrows in the Virgin Basin on the North side. Cranks in shad pattern and grubs in shad colors as well.
