I realize it is poor form to reply to your own post.

Here's what happened to me: Saturday I ran up to Boathouse Cove and ran a pattern of figure 8's with the big motor over this flat I'd scoped out a few days before. I worked!. I stirred up a school of maybe 50 small striper's who hung around in the area for maybe 30 minutes. Caught a few on a Storm Wildeye swimbait. Then went LMB hunting in the cove. Nothing there but did pick up on 3 lb striper on a 7 “ swimbait. Took it in a classic position, first cast over a rock ridge.
Sunday, fished walls with a dropshot, switching off to the swimbait rod over points,reefs and flats. Got my milk run developing in this area now. At sundown, caught my first Lake Mead bass on a large swimbait – 7' Sidewinder of a primary ridge in 20 ft.. He wasn't mush bigger than the bait, but he hit hard. One cast.
