I am never a merch guy, 44, been on the internet since it was text based, but ya know, I'm gonna get me a SCO hat now that I saw there is one with a bass on it (not a hunter)
You’ll need to know this. Colorsdo has cut off the water coming into the streams to fill lake mead. It’s used to be 40% coming into lake mead but Colorsdo diverted only 20% now. Do lake mead will continue to drop. I’m not sure why They did that but it’s not good for the other states. However Colorsdo is supposed to have a big year of moisture so let’s pray for rain. Lol
This young man on this camera is a perfect product of AWESOME/GREAT parenting! This young man will be going places 100%. I look forward to watching him grow and also growing with him. Honestly, this young man has taught me a lot already!
I agree, maybe it is just the small town I live, or maybe I'm just lucky to live where I do, but he reminds me of the typical, respectful young people in my community.
That Dorsett boat was from the 60's. I had a 1958 Dorsett myself at one time. They were started in 1955 and sold off around the 70's. Several different companies bought their plans and equipment. They were decent boats.
I did some research on Dorsett boats. They were manufactured from 1955 through 1967. This look like the Dorsett Catalina which is the primary boat they manufactured. They were out of Santa Clara, CA. They sold for 1800.00 in 56 up to 2500 in 67. Which is a lot of money for the time era. Amazing history on their boats. Thank you for sharing and keep doing what you guys do.
I have been fascinated with lake Mead since I saw the water levels earlier this year when in town to visit a buddy. Thank you for the constant updates! You and your boys are such a ray of hope in a world of tik tok and only fans "stars".
A lot of us are praying for rain! If you ever feel like adding a venue, the Salton Sea has been declining for even longer, but I remember back in the heyday when it was a playground in the SoCal desert.
Well I sure appreciate lake Mead and I definitely be praying for more rain I still believe prayer prevaileth much especially here lately we've been getting blessed here in California too thank God thank God thank God prayer for Bayless much
15:25 From one soldier to another, tip of the hat to you sir. I was stationed in Texas, which was a huge change for my daughter, but kids adapt easily. Looks like Jr is gonna be an outstanding young man.
Looks like things are improving. Praise the heavens for that. Love your videos and your relationship as a Family is admirable. A nice break from the nonsense that every resident of the UK is having to endure at the moment. Thank you.
Hey Guys, Thanks for all the updates that You are doing. I know there are a lot of "other" channels that are now trying to do what You Guys have been doing for ages. But I only watch Your channel for updates because You show the same spots, so we can the difference from one video to the next, and we get fishing content as well which is awesome. So thanks for all the hard work in putting these videos out. By the way that Boat is a 1958-1961? Dorsett Catalina. Very cool boat back in their day. Stay safe Cheers.
Such awesome father/son time!! I lost my son to cancer when he was 10. He loved 4 wheelin' and boating. I love watching you guys spend time together. I've dated women with young sons, but they seem to be so confrontational due to their daddy's crap comments. Sadly, every one of those boys have done jail time instead of wheelin' and fishing with me.
I pray for you that you can still be a dad to some boy. My son would be in his element to do such things. His dad works 7 to 7, 7 days a week. My son and daughter both would love some adventure. Just don't give up. Dad's are SO important!!!
I’m so sad to read your post. I green up with my Grandaddy and GrandMom {BLESSING} and that quality time hunting, fishing, camping etc. on our ranch is engrained forever in my heart. Keep those precious memories close and I’ll pray that the “right lady” comes along for you. I’m raising my granddaughter {again blessing} that I had the honor of delivering in 2006. She’s my world and is now 16 and driving (🥴) I want nothing more for you to be happy and be able to show a child “the ways of life”. God bless you. 💙 “Nana”
Yep. Its pretty sad when exes use the kids to push their hate agendas. The greatest blessing in my life was my stepdad. Greatest guy God ever made. I cried when he died. Not so with my terrible mother.
@@Dalcar.avotreestudio Yep. Same here. Ross rescued me from my mom every time when she went on her rage rants & beat the hell.out of me for nothing just because she could. Wed just go walk out in the mesa, away from her til she became sane again. He took me drag racing ( illegally) in his hot rod that ate everyone elses lunch. Even bought my mom a mink coat with the $ he won racing. He was my shield & defender in every case. She treated him like s#[+ but he loved her anyway. He was like that, brought joy & unconditional love into our lives. Biggest mistake my mom ever made was divorcing him after 4 years & spent the rest of her life regretting it. Bible says theres angels that appear as humans on this earth & i think he was one of them.
My cargo vessel typically deals with 13 foot swells. I envy you on such a small boat. Fawk the fish. If a human can eat today is the most important. You manage and conserve the lake, you should also reap its bounty. I miss Vegas bay. I'm 39 now but I have many good memories out that way. Sad to see it gone. Cheers from Texas.
As a South Louisiana Sportsman myself I really like y’all’s channel. Even though I’ve never been out there fishing before we all need to come together to protect our ways of life
I live in Chicago, nothing like this over here, I hope to get out there one day. Your videos are really really good! Awesome representation of the outdoors and family. Great father-son relationship, I have 3 boys and I know they would love to do this. Thanks for always posting great videos it gives me a break from all the craziness in the world.
Born and raised In Carpentersville until 96' when my parents moved us to Phoenix. Lived out there until 2015 then moved back to the Chicago area. The southwest is amazing compared to Illinois. I can't wait to leave this corrupt state with all of its crime and ridiculous taxes. Way more stuff to do out in the southwest, I'm sure you and tour kids would love it!
You guys should come up to Wisconsin and we can get out on Lake Michigan in a 16' boat with 6' waves. About 7 miles out trolling for lakers and salmon. You can't see shore and the waves are rolling. Good times!!! See you outdoors!!! 👍👍
You are an awesome Dad, and your sons are blessed to have you to teach them about the outdoors, fishing is one of the best things to do with your kids. I'm 64 and used to live in Pensacola Fl. when my son was 4 and took him fishing and camping all the time really great memories. He now lives in Cape Coral and takes his son fishing. He loves fishing!
Every time I see your videos it brings me back to a day in 1999 when my late wife and I were on that lake for pt 2 of our honeymoon in Vegas. I'll never forget that day and the time we were there as long as I live so Lake Mead holds a special place in my being and I really thank you guys for these vids from a dude in Syracuse N.Y.. Thanx and keep on fishing...,wish I could join ya for it
Was born on that lake in 75. You're my brothers and neighbors I'm out in pahrump now but could go on and on about Mead. Love your spirit and share it with you. Don't stop what you're doing and we'll see ya when we see ya! Our prayers and positivity will make the water rise! ✌
I have a childhood picture of my family at the marina that used to be there! Wow crazy to see it all dried up there! Thank you guys for some great content and updates from Lake Mead
Yes, there's STILL stuff to do at Lake Mead, as long as one has a smaller hull and more awareness to still enjoy the lake, if that's what you also mean. I like that you share what you both think about what's going on there. I'm learning much from your family. I learn a lot from ALL of you. I've been praying for rain to happen out west (I live in Massachusetts). I'm happy to see the lake rising. At Let's see what the coming months share. I'm a realist, and I lean toward the positive side at the same time. At the same time, as you know, while we had rain recently, there has got to be A LOT of rain to forgive that land! I also get what you are saying about family and home, regarding years put in. I love that you love your Dad, and what you KNOW what he did and who he IS, and also as a father, teacher, and a role model too. I respect your dad too, and if I ever get the chance to hug him for his service, and his love for his family, I would ( from one veteran to another, and from one that loves family ). I would like to shake YOUR hand too. On another note, I wish I was more of a seafood eater. Scallops, mussels, clams, etc., yuck! I like SOME seafood though. Maybe I just never had any fish the way YOUR family prepares them ! ? What you've showed in your past video's, it sure looks good ! The water level has gone up. A little bit of good news is good news! Let's believe in more, right ! Also, don't think you have to do a big giveaway to thank your followers! Just saying thank you, I think, means more to me, and I'm sure it does for you too. YOU share MUCH, so thank YOU! I'M either privileged or lucky to have found YOUR channel, as I will most assuredly will never have the chance or opportunity to go to that area where you live, in our great country. I also learn much about you and your family. So, you do not need to entice others to better this channel. Just saying.
I’m originally from the Northeast, but live in the Southwest. I miss the fresh lobstah you can get in Boston. No fishy taste Mmmmmmmm dipped in warm butter☺️🦞
Oh man you guys...I LOVE how you give us history about the lake & surrounding areas. And it's just beautiful! Thank you so much for all you guys do. It means a lot. It really does😊
That was hilarious walking through the weeds New mic sounds amazing too Been watching you guys since the first or second lake mead update and man you’re one of the channels I’m checking constantly for some wholesome fishing content or a lake update.
I'm always looking forward to your videos, you guys make a lot of us Chicanos proud, keep up the great work, much love and respect from the central valley California
As a 60 year old white American I used to think the term “Chicano” was a less than flattering term for Mexican Americans. Only in recent years have I seen it used as the preferred term. Yes, Senior, Junior, and Juju are credits to Chicano heritage, but they’re equally credits to American heritage. They represent what all Americans should strive to be. Much love and respect to my Chicano brothers and sisters, and their contributions to this great country of ours. 🤙
14:40 in NC we call them hockleburrs. They look similar to what you are showing there. I grew up living next to a pond, literally about 50-60 years from my house. It used to be farmland, and so this pond, or waterhole, was about half an acre in size when full, but during the summer is we go down to about half that, and the dry areas would start growing tall grasses like you are showing. But after the big rains, it would fill back up and all those plants would die off. It was a great pond. We had at least 4 different turtle species(snapper, painted, yellowbelly, musk), largemouth bass( largest caught was almost 6lb), bream, catfish (largest caught was about 8lbs), and some blue gill and some perch. There were only a few small mouth bass, bull frogs, water moccasin, copperheads. I think everyone should spend time outdoors, maybe as a school requirement. Could put it in biology class and people can actually see how nature is affected
The last time I was at Lake Mead was back in the late 1960's at Temple Bar. The lake was full. We boated over to the Haystacks one morning and enjoyed the area. The wind came up in the early afternoon and we had to scram. The waves got big and beat up the boats. There were 2 boats that made the trip. One had a deep-v hull and my friend's dad had a brand new Glencoe flat bottom hull. I road back in the deep-v with my brother Jim and my friend Gary. We had quite the roller-coaster ride of the year. Gary's dad was driving his new boat that started to break up on him before he got back. All were safe on the Glencoe but it was a total loss and Glencoe wouldn't honor the warranty. It is scary to think that my friends came close to being victims of another boating accident on Lake Mead....
I've been aware the lake was dropping for many years, but this spring was alarming. I hope it cycles back around to something approximating normal in a couple of years. Not normal from when that marina was full, but normal from 10 years ago or so. Thanks for your fantastic coverage, as always.
Thank you for the history lesson!!! Moving a marina that size would have been a great site to see. I also didn't know that there were so many different shad. I learn new things every video. Thank you so much!!!
I first clicked on one of your Lake Mead drought videos, and while the content is always good, your father-and-son interactions are so loving and kind and full of respect and that’s what “hooked” me. Bad pun…I know. @Senior…I too got swept up in Desert Storm. USAF. 20TFW. Now my son is a proud Marine. Never saw that coming. Your family is awesome. Peace!
I was alerted to your channel a few weeks before the houseboat rescue and have been watching ever since. Good job to you and your dad and of course the rescue team that saw your video and helped that man in his houseboat. Keep up the good work guys. You never know when you will touch on a situation of dire straights and you did. Right now the ex hurricane and now tropical storm has hit California and I certainly hope the massive rainfall will help end the drought.
Our lakes here in central Oregon are extremely low some at their lowest ever. You guys are killing it Senior and Junior I’ve been watching for a long time now love it.
Great job raising your boys, they are impressive! A lot of boys/ young men these days are less than stellar & lack respect & work ethic. Your boys are awesome, they’ve got great parents!
No, thank YOU guys for giving us the update! I've been watching you for about 4 months now. Glad the lake is up a bit. I agree with what senior said, about hooking up the bait, people just don't understand the "nature " of things. We use live bait too, better chance of catching a fish. My husband was watching this video with me, and I told him about the monster Striper Jr. caught, and just then the picture popped up. He said, damn! LOL! We are very competitive when it comes to fishing! LOL!
I have to say. Last May (2021) me and the wife drove from our home in Raleigh, NC to Palo Alto, CA. I'm not going to go into much detail, but we drove there because my granddaughter was being flown out there to Stanford for open heart surgery. We left about a week before them, because I'm disabled and so I have to make a lot of stops. My wife kept saying she was worried about being bored. I have been out that way a few times in my life and I told her "the desert has its own beauty". Once we got past Texas she was ooo'ing and ahh'ing over the canyons and message and just how beautiful the sunsets were. We didn't get through Nevada but we did go through Arizona and New Mexico. She is now more on board with my retirement plan of getting an RV and traveling the USA for a year or two. Hopefully we can do that in about 10-15 years, since I'm 45 now. Ya' lol have some amazing views out there. I was supposed to be in CA for 6-8 weeks, but we ended up being there for 9 months. While we were there, we had a lot of downtime and so I saw some videos on UA-cam and went and bought a DSLR, tripod, and a few lenses. Y'all are blessed to not have as much light pollution as we do on the east coast. The nighttime shots of the Milky Way looks like it would be amazing there where you are at. Do you think that Lake Mead will ever fill back up? Do you think it is solely climate change or do you think that the increased pressure of larger populations has caused this lowering of water levels? Am I right when I say that Lake Mead also feeds water consumption to residents in CA? Great video!
You guys are awesome. I love how u obviously aren’t professional actors😂. It’s nice to see that young lad out there trying to educate us, then dad with Gillian’s Island. You appeal to all ages. Love you both, you are good people.
This was a very interesting video! I live out in West Texas and we have been having a drought also. But it's great to see Lake Mead catch some water instead of losing it! Thanks much for the update and thanks to Senior for his service! Looking forward to the next one!
@@dianaw4072 hi fellow Texans! I was born in North Texas but lived in West Texas for almost 6 yrs when I was in my 20's and now have moved back home, although I often miss West Texas, feels like they are both my home!
Great video as always guys...good to see some improvements in the levels...here's hoping it continues with that trend. As always cheers from Sydney Aus, and looking forward to the next videos!!!!
I love your channel, it's a cure for missing the West side as well as relaxing to watch your family fish Lake Mead. So wonderful to see family doing stuff like this together. And thank you Senior for your service! I'm a BRAT and totally understand where Junior is coming from as far as the moving around a lot, makes your well rounded. Love you guys!
I haven’t been out there in almost ten years. It’s really trippy to see how much lower it has gotten since then. I love the videos, you guys are awesome 💕
Native Nevadan here. The saying I’ve always heard: The person that tries to predict the weather in Southern Nevada is either a fool or a newcomer. Love this channel and love you guys! Keep doing what you’re doing. Take care of yourselves.
@@Sophia13-16 Oh I remember! Snow days when there was no snow on the ground. Or the mornings spent thawing my car door with a blow dryer so I can get them open when we weren’t supposed to get down to freezing. 😂🤣😂 Reno is rough!
@@lorettalentine lol. Yeah, doesn't get as much snow or as cold as it used to. Moved here in 2001 and I remember some chilly negative degree days. Probably haven't gone into the negative since 07 or so. But even now weather is unpredictable. It's been a smokey mess from the fire in California. But as of Saturday it's cleared out.
🇺🇸 fellow OIF Veteran here. Love the channel. You guys are awesome. Keep up the good work with the channel. Thanks for the sacrifice Senior and Junior…military service is tough on the whole family.
Great video! I just stumbled upon you guys. First of all, Sr., thank you for your service. Second, thank you for not apologizing for using small fish as bait. It’s the food chain. It is perfectly natural. And finally, this video was super informative in so many ways. I also appreciate you following safety guidelines with your life jackets and staying at the no-wake speeds. You guys are great role models for anyone wanting to be an outdoorsman. I’ve subscribed so now I can follow you.
Checked out the boat here is the info I found DORSETT SAN JUAN 1965 Make: Dorsett Model: San Juan Type: Day Cruiser Hull Material: Fiberglass Engine Type: Single Outboard Engine Make: Evinrude Engine Engine Model: 75 HP Primary Fuel Type: Gas 19.0 feet
Thanks for the updates guys. I'm in Tucson, so it's a important issue. Plus I have fond memories of Lake Mead in the early 70's. Had a uncle with a boat, and all the fishing.
Awesome videos you guys! The last time we were out there, in 13, the lake was really low then. It was still just so beautiful! I hope all these lakes can come back but, it will take years for them all to be at full pond. Its just so sad! Thanks for the updates, keep on keeping on please!
Another great vid, thanks for all your effort to let us know how Lake Mead is doing. For Dad, thank you for your service to protect is all. For the boys, it's so cool to see the total respect you have for your dad & the interactions you guys have. I wish I had that with my sons...
I'm glad that things are improving out there for you guys, and love watching your update videos from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 You guys made it through this summer, but I have serious concerns for next unless something is done ASAP... 😔 Stay safe!
The Lake Mead level WAS going up over August with the rains, but now in September it's starting to drop again. The increase was less than 4ft overall, which means it only made up for the last month or so it was dropping before. That was only a temporary pause in the overall trend line...
Fall/Winter is actually a time for major draw from the lake. Just this week, the Southern California and Arizona farms planted and transplanted the winter vegetables. So this is when the farm irrigation starts to pick up and that's where most of lake Mead's water goes to. Those farms grow about 80-90% of the USA's winter vegetables, specifically leafy greens. broccoli and other such vegetables are grown. There was actually a bit of a scare the other day when a Tropical Storm came up Baja and struck California and Arizona with some of the outer bands of the storm. Since the crops are only just penny-sized sprouts, such a hammering of rain would destroy much of the crops, leaving most of the US without their thanksgiving and Christmas veggies. but it seems the rain fell elsewhere and all was safe. (same sort of thing happened a few years ago when the pumpkin crops got flooded out and it was impossible to find any canned pumpkin for pies that year.) The real hope is during winter...the snowmelt from snow in colorado is what replenishes the rivers and the lakes. Monsoon rains sort of hit the pause button on the draining, but it's the snowmelt that fills it back up.
Dorsett Plastics Corp (Santa Clara, CA, USA)...cool find! 01:24 Dorsett Boats Began production in 1955 to about 1970. The company changed hands a few times, usually keeping a few of the upper management individuals. After that the molds were sold and a few copies were made.
About 15 years ago, my son came home from his duty in Iraq on R&R, and we rented a houseboat on Lake Mead for 4 days. On the afternoon of the 2nd day we were way up at the East end and the wind came up. It got quite rough. I found a protected cove out of the wind and we enjoyed the rest of the afternoon. During the night the wind shifted direction and I had to resecure the boat to keep it from getting blown ashore. Then about 5am the wind died and I got everyone up to get out of there before the wind came up again. They all went back to sleep and I brought the boat all the way down through the narrow gorge to a safe spot in the lower part of the lake. The point being that the wind can come up quickly and the waves can get big even on a lake
Enjoy the updates on the lake. My wife and I visited a few days ago and even tried the Marina restaurant out of your recommendation. Keep the videos coming.
Love watching your videos here in North Carolina! We have been really lucky with the rain this year. All of our lakes are full which is unusual for this time of year. I’ve been praying your area gets plenty of rain soon to help with the water shortage!
I came to see a locals perspective of what's happening at Lake Mead, and I stayed for the Father and Son relationship. Love you guys. That said, Lake Mead's issue is not climate related. They have been pumping in the same amount of water over the same pipe since the lake was dug. As the cities and population grows, the water supply did not. They have ALLOWED this to continue when they knew over a decade ago that there was an issue.
It's also related to man-made climate change and an unusually long desert drought. Human use of water IS a problem to be sure, but it wouldn't be a problem were it not for this drought.
Bunk. Meade is not filled by a pipe. It's filled by snow melt off of the Rockies feeding the Colorado River. As well as other riverine sources closer to the dam.The amount of inflow is inadequate since the drought to compensate for the excess requirements of untamed city and agricultural expansion in the South West. "They" have indeed known this was going to be a problem for way more than a decade. "They" being scientists were simply not listened to because who needs rational thought when you can go on living in a fools paradise.
@@RyanMcIntyre Went from thousands of people in Vegas to Millions. Surprised we haven't wiped ourselves out yet I wouldn't worry about "climate change".
I remember when I was around 4 or 5, my mom and dad would come out to Las Vegas Bay. My dad would park our camp trailer there and we would stay out there almost all summer on the weekends. It was such a busy place! I look at it now and want to cry. It’s so crazy how far the water has gone down. Thank you both for keeping us updated. I really enjoy your videos!
Just a question: Now that the water is low, why don’t they clean up all the boats and sunken debris? Thanks for all your time and efforts to share your adventures!
It's on federal land. Why is the government so inefficient? Because people who want to do the right thing and make change for the better are not the people we elect to office.
At 6:15 - your new marker can be that rusty metal box, it's perfect. It has 3 bars or ridges on the left side that you can gauge the water-level. 13 days ago you could see all 3 bars, now the bottom bar is under water and almost up to the 2nd bar/ridge
We love your videos. You make the day really enjoyable. We love the lessons and information. You are a Beautiful Family. God Bless! We came for the Lake Mead info but we're staying for everything that you guys offer in these great videos. Stay safe and happy. Prayers from Ohio. 🙏🦋🐠🐟
Picking up things around those boats is a touchy subject. Don’t want it to be confused for relic hunting or touching protected items. Too many game wardens watching my channel 😆
@@SinCityOutdoors "protected items" a.k.a. junk at the bottom of a lake...... rotfl.... sounds like TX you can't even metal detect (they think your going to find KING-TUTs grave and they have to pay you for the discovery.....) SMH Sorry for rambling... but freedom isn't free after the US Government gets involved....
You do the best updates on the lake, very informative and I'm glad the water level is going up. Plus you add some fishing in the video. Keep up the good work.
My Grandfather had a 1959 Dorset boat. Was one of the first inboard mercury motor powered boats. He fished Lake Michigan mostly. It was awesome by the stories he told
Just got my hat today and now a video!!! Two gifts in one day! Life is good! Thx guys👍
👊🏼
I am never a merch guy, 44, been on the internet since it was text based, but ya know, I'm gonna get me a SCO hat now that I saw there is one with a bass on it (not a hunter)
You’ll need to know this. Colorsdo has cut off the water coming into the streams to fill lake mead. It’s used to be 40% coming into lake mead but Colorsdo diverted only 20% now.

I LOVE my HAT!!!! Fast shipping too!
SCO is the best!
I did a quick search for Dorsett boats. That looks like it was manufactured sometime between 1958 and 1962. It was a nice boat... until it sank.
Yep, looks like a Dorsett Catalina from that era. Super classic...rescue that one and sell it!
I like the enclosed cab. (I dont know boats).
hey apparently i had a pretty good guess cuz i was like that looks like a 50s era boat!
@@volvo09 close....cabin
Nice boat!!! Until it…. Sank… made me lol!🤣🤣🤣
This young man on this camera is a perfect product of AWESOME/GREAT parenting! This young man will be going places 100%. I look forward to watching him grow and also growing with him. Honestly, this young man has taught me a lot already!
I agree they are such sweet boys
You are so right!
Agree so well spoken. He definitely has a talent for reporting
I agree, maybe it is just the small town I live, or maybe I'm just lucky to live where I do, but he reminds me of the typical, respectful young people in my community.
Agreed💙💪🏽🙏🏽
Love the fact that you take us on these adventures! It's like discovering a new world that has been hidden for many years.
One retired Vet to another, you've done a great job raising the boys Dad. Great videos. Loved the dove hunt in Yuma. Keep up the good work guys!
That Dorsett boat was from the 60's. I had a 1958 Dorsett myself at one time. They were started in 1955 and sold off around the 70's. Several different companies bought their plans and equipment. They were decent boats.
yep, looks like an early '60 Catalina.
I love that you fellas took it upon yourselves to help share the activity surrounding Lake Mead. Keep up the good work.
I did some research on Dorsett boats. They were manufactured from 1955 through 1967. This look like the Dorsett Catalina which is the primary boat they manufactured. They were out of Santa Clara, CA. They sold for 1800.00 in 56 up to 2500 in 67. Which is a lot of money for the time era. Amazing history on their boats. Thank you for sharing and keep doing what you guys do.
That is somewhere in the ball park of 20k now
Adjusting for inflation, $1800 in 1956 is equal to about $19,600 in 2022.
I have been fascinated with lake Mead since I saw the water levels earlier this year when in town to visit a buddy. Thank you for the constant updates! You and your boys are such a ray of hope in a world of tik tok and only fans "stars".
A lot of us are praying for rain! If you ever feel like adding a venue, the Salton Sea has been declining for even longer, but I remember back in the heyday when it was a playground in the SoCal desert.
I want to understand why they are holding water upstream.
@@DG-wu7ke holding? You mean why is there 40% less snowpack and water in the Colorado river?
@@chase7439 - I read something about Lake Powell holding water, not they are full, to trigger some water use plan. I couldn't imagine living that way.
Well I sure appreciate lake Mead and I definitely be praying for more rain I still believe prayer prevaileth much especially here lately we've been getting blessed here in California too thank God thank God thank God prayer for Bayless much
15:25 From one soldier to another, tip of the hat to you sir. I was stationed in Texas, which was a huge change for my daughter, but kids adapt easily. Looks like Jr is gonna be an outstanding young man.
Looks like things are improving. Praise the heavens for that. Love your videos and your relationship as a Family is admirable. A nice break from the nonsense that every resident of the UK is having to endure at the moment.

Sadly, every one of those boys have done jail time instead of wheelin' and fishing with me.
I pray for you that you can still be a dad to some boy. My son would be in his element to do such things. His dad works 7 to 7, 7 days a week. My son and daughter both would love some adventure. Just don't give up. Dad's are SO important!!!
I’m so sad to read your post. I green up with my Grandaddy and GrandMom {BLESSING} and that quality time hunting, fishing, camping etc. on our ranch is engrained forever in my heart. Keep those precious memories close and I’ll pray that the “right lady” comes along for you. I’m raising my granddaughter {again blessing} that I had the honor of delivering in 2006. She’s my world and is now 16 and driving (🥴) I want nothing more for you to be happy and be able to show a child “the ways of life”. God bless you. 💙 “Nana”
Yep. Its pretty sad when exes use the kids to push their hate agendas. The greatest blessing in my life was my stepdad. Greatest guy God ever made. I cried when he died. Not so with my terrible mother.
@@tristantimothy1004 100%, I had a similar experience, my step-dad passes about 20 years ago. I think of him often.
@@Dalcar.avotreestudio Yep. Same here. Ross rescued me from my mom every time when she went on her rage rants & beat the hell.out of me for nothing just because she could. Wed just go walk out in the mesa, away from her til she became sane again. He took me drag racing ( illegally) in his hot rod that ate everyone elses lunch. Even bought my mom a mink coat with the $ he won racing. He was my shield & defender in every case. She treated him like s#[+ but he loved her anyway. He was like that, brought joy & unconditional love into our lives. Biggest mistake my mom ever made was divorcing him after 4 years & spent the rest of her life regretting it. Bible says theres angels that appear as humans on this earth & i think he was one of them.
My cargo vessel typically deals with 13 foot swells. I envy you on such a small boat. Fawk the fish. If a human can eat today is the most important. You manage and conserve the lake, you should also reap its bounty. I miss Vegas bay. I'm 39 now but I have many good memories out that way. Sad to see it gone. Cheers from Texas.
Doesn’t sound fun 😳
You a Merchant Marine? That's good work. I have 15 years in the industry...
4 feet of water is a huge amount of water…This young man is very intelligent and his instruction style is on point. He has a very bright future.
I am from South Africa. And for some or other reason I wait for and enjoy your Lake Mead updates.
I appreciate that 🤙🏼
As a South Louisiana Sportsman myself I really like y’all’s channel. Even though I’ve never been out there fishing before we all need to come together to protect our ways of life
Definitely!!! Love the channel also, hope they do some hunting videos!!
NOLA native/ Slidell transplant since Katrina... And I totally agree... I've lived on the edge of the Honey Island Swamp for years... I love my home..
I live in Chicago, nothing like this over here, I hope to get out there one day. Your videos are really really good! Awesome representation of the outdoors and family. Great father-son relationship, I have 3 boys and I know they would love to do this. Thanks for always posting great videos it gives me a break from all the craziness in the world.
Born and raised In Carpentersville until 96' when my parents moved us to Phoenix. Lived out there until 2015 then moved back to the Chicago area. The southwest is amazing compared to Illinois. I can't wait to leave this corrupt state with all of its crime and ridiculous taxes. Way more stuff to do out in the southwest, I'm sure you and tour kids would love it!
You guys should come up to Wisconsin and we can get out on Lake Michigan in a 16' boat with 6' waves. About 7 miles out trolling for lakers and salmon. You can't see shore and the waves are rolling. Good times!!! See you outdoors!!! 👍👍
You are an awesome Dad, and your sons are blessed to have you to teach them about the outdoors, fishing is one of the best things to do with your kids. I'm 64 and used to live in Pensacola Fl. when my son was 4 and took him fishing and camping all the time really great memories. He now lives in Cape Coral and takes his son fishing. He loves fishing!
Every time I see your videos it brings me back to a day in 1999 when my late wife and I were on that lake for pt 2 of our honeymoon in Vegas. I'll never forget that day and the time we were there as long as I live so Lake Mead holds a special place in my being and I really thank you guys for these vids from a dude in Syracuse N.Y.. Thanx and keep on fishing...,wish I could join ya for it
Honeymoon part 2……is that the day you through the barrel overboard
Genuinely good people! All good that comes your way is well deserved! Hope to catch up with you guys around Reno one day. Fish on!!
I appreciate how respectful you guys are during filming. Keep keeping it clean guys.
Was born on that lake in 75. You're my brothers and neighbors I'm out in pahrump now but could go on and on about Mead. Love your spirit and share it with you. Don't stop what you're doing and we'll see ya when we see ya! Our prayers and positivity will make the water rise! ✌
You were born on a boat in Lake Mead?! Wow!
@@jenaemarieAZ mom went into labor winterizing the boat . She made it to St.Rose
@@saiko5622 So cool!!
The boat is a Dorset 'Eldorado' built as open runabouts and cabin cruisers like the one your looking at between the mid 1950's and 1960's.
I have a childhood picture of my family at the marina that used to be there! Wow crazy to see it all dried up there! Thank you guys for some great content and updates from Lake Mead
Yes, there's STILL stuff to do at Lake Mead, as long as one has a smaller hull and more awareness to still enjoy the lake, if that's what you also mean. I like that you share what you both think about what's going on there. I'm learning much from your family. I learn a lot from ALL of you. I've been praying for rain to happen out west (I live in Massachusetts). I'm happy to see the lake rising. At Let's see what the coming months share.
I'm a realist, and I lean toward the positive side at the same time. At the same time, as you know, while we had rain recently, there has got to be A LOT of rain to forgive that land!
I also get what you are saying about family and home, regarding years put in. I love that you love your Dad, and what you KNOW what he did and who he IS, and also as a father, teacher, and a role model too. I respect your dad too, and if I ever get the chance to hug him for his service, and his love for his family, I would ( from one veteran to another, and from one that loves family ). I would like to shake YOUR hand too.
On another note, I wish I was more of a seafood eater. Scallops, mussels, clams, etc., yuck! I like SOME seafood though. Maybe I just never had any fish the way YOUR family prepares them ! ? What you've showed in your past video's, it sure looks good !
The water level has gone up. A little bit of good news is good news! Let's believe in more, right !
Also, don't think you have to do a big giveaway to thank your followers! Just saying thank you, I think, means more to me, and I'm sure it does for you too. YOU share MUCH, so thank YOU! I'M either privileged or lucky to have found YOUR channel, as I will most assuredly will never have the chance or opportunity to go to that area where you live, in our great country. I also learn much about you and your family. So, you do not need to entice others to better this channel. Just saying.
I'm with you Senior. No to spiders!
I’m originally from the Northeast, but live in the Southwest. I miss the fresh lobstah you can get in Boston. No fishy taste Mmmmmmmm dipped in warm butter☺️🦞
Oh man you guys...I LOVE how you give us history about the lake & surrounding areas. And it's just beautiful! Thank you so much for all you guys do. It means a lot. It really does😊
Thank you Sr. For your service. My family and I appreciate it more than you know!!!
That was hilarious walking through the weeds
New mic sounds amazing too
Been watching you guys since the first or second lake mead update and man you’re one of the channels I’m checking constantly for some wholesome fishing content or a lake update.
Thank you for your continued updates. Stay safe fellas!
I'm always looking forward to your videos, you guys make a lot of us Chicanos proud, keep up the great work, much love and respect from the central valley California
👊🏼
I’m from Chicago too!
@@PJL7095 That's FUNNY! Thanks!
Looking forward to cooler temps though! FlexAlerts suck! 😆
As a 60 year old white American I used to think the term “Chicano” was a less than flattering term for Mexican Americans. Only in recent years have I seen it used as the preferred term.
Yes, Senior, Junior, and Juju are credits to Chicano heritage, but they’re equally credits to American heritage. They represent what all Americans should strive to be.
Much love and
respect to my Chicano brothers and sisters, and their contributions to this great country of ours. 🤙
Hey guys, thank you so much for your drought updates, they are greatly appreciated!
14:40 in NC we call them hockleburrs. They look similar to what you are showing there. I grew up living next to a pond, literally about 50-60 years from my house. It used to be farmland, and so this pond, or waterhole, was about half an acre in size when full, but during the summer is we go down to about half that, and the dry areas would start growing tall grasses like you are showing. But after the big rains, it would fill back up and all those plants would die off. It was a great pond. We had at least 4 different turtle species(snapper, painted, yellowbelly, musk), largemouth bass( largest caught was almost 6lb), bream, catfish (largest caught was about 8lbs), and some blue gill and some perch. There were only a few small mouth bass, bull frogs, water moccasin, copperheads. I think everyone should spend time outdoors, maybe as a school requirement. Could put it in biology class and people can actually see how nature is affected
The last time I was at Lake Mead was back in the late 1960's at Temple Bar. The lake was full. We boated over to the Haystacks one morning and enjoyed the area. The wind came up in the early afternoon and we had to scram. The waves got big and beat up the boats. There were 2 boats that made the trip. One had a deep-v hull and my friend's dad had a brand new Glencoe flat bottom hull. I road back in the deep-v with my brother Jim and my friend Gary. We had quite the roller-coaster ride of the year. Gary's dad was driving his new boat that started to break up on him before he got back. All were safe on the Glencoe but it was a total loss and Glencoe wouldn't honor the warranty. It is scary to think that my friends came close to being victims of another boating accident on Lake Mead....
I've been aware the lake was dropping for many years, but this spring was alarming. I hope it cycles back around to something approximating normal in a couple of years. Not normal from when that marina was full, but normal from 10 years ago or so. Thanks for your fantastic coverage, as always.
The boat is a "Dorset" (think door-set) and it is from the mid to late 1950's.
Thanks for showing the old marina! It really shows how much of the lake is gone.
Thank you for the history lesson!!! Moving a marina that size would have been a great site to see. I also didn't know that there were so many different shad. I learn new things every video. Thank you so much!!!
Love the updates and exploring. Thank you guys much love from idaho stay safe out there.
Hey guys, thanks for the content. Stay safe, I wish everyone a blessed day 💚
I first clicked on one of your Lake Mead drought videos, and while the content is always good, your father-and-son interactions are so loving and kind and full of respect and that’s what “hooked” me. Bad pun…I know.
@Senior…I too got swept up in Desert Storm. USAF. 20TFW. Now my son is a proud Marine. Never saw that coming.
Your family is awesome.
Peace!
I was alerted to your channel a few weeks before the houseboat rescue and have been watching ever since. Good job to you and your dad and of course the rescue team that saw your video and helped that man in his houseboat. Keep up the good work guys. You never know when you will touch on a situation of dire straights and you did. Right now the ex hurricane and now tropical storm has hit California and I certainly hope the massive rainfall will help end the drought.
Was that 1 of the boats the diesel bros rescued with their military boat
Our lakes here in central Oregon are extremely low some at their lowest ever. You guys are killing it Senior and Junior I’ve been watching for a long time now love it.
Yeah our hydro electric dams are not liking it.
Great job raising your boys, they are impressive! A lot of boys/ young men these days are less than stellar & lack respect & work ethic. Your boys are awesome, they’ve got great parents!
No, thank YOU guys for giving us the update! I've been watching you for about 4 months now. Glad the lake is up a bit. I agree with what senior said, about hooking up the bait, people just don't understand the "nature " of things. We use live bait too, better chance of catching a fish. My husband was watching this video with me, and I told him about the monster Striper Jr. caught, and just then the picture popped up. He said, damn! LOL! We are very competitive when it comes to fishing! LOL!
Another GREAT video guys! Thank you! Keep fishin' & filmin'!
I have to say. Last May (2021) me and the wife drove from our home in Raleigh, NC to Palo Alto, CA. I'm not going to go into much detail, but we drove there because my granddaughter was being flown out there to Stanford for open heart surgery. We left about a week before them, because I'm disabled and so I have to make a lot of stops. My wife kept saying she was worried about being bored. I have been out that way a few times in my life and I told her "the desert has its own beauty". Once we got past Texas she was ooo'ing and ahh'ing over the canyons and message and just how beautiful the sunsets were. We didn't get through Nevada but we did go through Arizona and New Mexico. She is now more on board with my retirement plan of getting an RV and traveling the USA for a year or two. Hopefully we can do that in about 10-15 years, since I'm 45 now. Ya' lol have some amazing views out there. I was supposed to be in CA for 6-8 weeks, but we ended up being there for 9 months. While we were there, we had a lot of downtime and so I saw some videos on UA-cam and went and bought a DSLR, tripod, and a few lenses. Y'all are blessed to not have as much light pollution as we do on the east coast. The nighttime shots of the Milky Way looks like it would be amazing there where you are at. Do you think that Lake Mead will ever fill back up? Do you think it is solely climate change or do you think that the increased pressure of larger populations has caused this lowering of water levels? Am I right when I say that Lake Mead also feeds water consumption to residents in CA? Great video!
You guys are awesome. I love how u obviously aren’t professional actors😂. It’s nice to see that young lad out there trying to educate us, then dad with Gillian’s Island. You appeal to all ages. Love you both, you are good people.
Love the updates! Great to see the water rising! Well done on the cast netting. You guys were throwing perfect pancakes! 🙂
This was a very interesting video! I live out in West Texas and we have been having a drought also. But it's great to see Lake Mead catch some water instead of losing it! Thanks much for the update and thanks to Senior for his service! Looking forward to the next one!
👋 I grew up in West Texas! Born in the panhandle but now live in north tx.
@@dianaw4072 hi fellow Texans! I was born in North Texas but lived in West Texas for almost 6 yrs when I was in my 20's and now have moved back home, although I often miss West Texas, feels like they are both my home!
Hi from Australian, outback town as i really do enjoy your lake updates and in general your Dad's wisdom n safety tips. Best regards, Bill.
Thank you for showing all the different fish 🐟
Great video as always guys...good to see some improvements in the levels...here's hoping it continues with that trend.
As always cheers from Sydney Aus, and looking forward to the next videos!!!!
I love your channel, it's a cure for missing the West side as well as relaxing to watch your family fish Lake Mead. So wonderful to see family doing stuff like this together. And thank you Senior for your service! I'm a BRAT and totally understand where Junior is coming from as far as the moving around a lot, makes your well rounded. Love you guys!
West is the best
I haven’t been out there in almost ten years. It’s really trippy to see how much lower it has gotten since then. I love the videos, you guys are awesome 💕
Awesome job as always keeping us up to date with Lake Meade and giving your wisdom and knowledge about the land !
It's great seeing a family making these videos together. Family is the most important thing
Not only you remind people how Mother Nature can be dangerous but how it has to be respected and cared for. So nice to see, awesome job!
Native Nevadan here. The saying I’ve always heard: The person that tries to predict the weather in Southern Nevada is either a fool or a newcomer.
Love this channel and love you guys! Keep doing what you’re doing. Take care of yourselves.
"Squash an ant these days and people panic"....ain't that the truth !! 🤣
I'm in Reno myself. They constantly get it wrong up north as well. Mainly when it comes to rain and snow.
@@Sophia13-16 Oh I remember! Snow days when there was no snow on the ground. Or the mornings spent thawing my car door with a blow dryer so I can get them open when we weren’t supposed to get down to freezing. 😂🤣😂 Reno is rough!
@@lorettalentine lol. Yeah, doesn't get as much snow or as cold as it used to. Moved here in 2001 and I remember some chilly negative degree days. Probably haven't gone into the negative since 07 or so. But even now weather is unpredictable. It's been a smokey mess from the fire in California. But as of Saturday it's cleared out.
Back at it again boys. Keep it up!
I respect the respect you fellas have for the outdoors and I absolutely appreciate and respect SR for his service to our country.
Thanks for the update. Late 1960's Dorset. Were decent boats back in the day.
🇺🇸 fellow OIF Veteran here. Love the channel. You guys are awesome. Keep up the good work with the channel. Thanks for the sacrifice Senior and Junior…military service is tough on the whole family.
Great video! I just stumbled upon you guys. First of all, Sr., thank you for your service. Second, thank you for not apologizing for using small fish as bait. It’s the food chain. It is perfectly natural. And finally, this video was super informative in so many ways. I also appreciate you following safety guidelines with your life jackets and staying at the no-wake speeds. You guys are great role models for anyone wanting to be an outdoorsman. I’ve subscribed so now I can follow you.
Always love seeing your videos guys, amazing work. Thanks for all you do! Also loved your dove hunting video. Keep on doing what you do

Thanks for the updates guys. I'm in Tucson, so it's a important issue. Plus I have fond memories of Lake Mead in the early 70's. Had a uncle with a boat, and all the fishing.
Awesome videos you guys! The last time we were out there, in 13, the lake was really low then. It was still just so beautiful! I hope all these lakes can come back but, it will take years for them all to be at full pond. Its just so sad! Thanks for the updates, keep on keeping on please!
Another great vid, thanks for all your effort to let us know how Lake Mead is doing. For Dad, thank you for your service to protect is all. For the boys, it's so cool to see the total respect you have for your dad & the interactions you guys have. I wish I had that with my sons...
I'm glad that things are improving out there for you guys, and love watching your update videos from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
You guys made it through this summer, but I have serious concerns for next unless something is done ASAP... 😔
Stay safe!
Summer isn’t over until October pretty much. Hello by Disneyland Ca
The Lake Mead level WAS going up over August with the rains, but now in September it's starting to drop again. The increase was less than 4ft overall, which means it only made up for the last month or so it was dropping before. That was only a temporary pause in the overall trend line...
Fall/Winter is actually a time for major draw from the lake. Just this week, the Southern California and Arizona farms planted and transplanted the winter vegetables. So this is when the farm irrigation starts to pick up and that's where most of lake Mead's water goes to. Those farms grow about 80-90% of the USA's winter vegetables, specifically leafy greens. broccoli and other such vegetables are grown.
There was actually a bit of a scare the other day when a Tropical Storm came up Baja and struck California and Arizona with some of the outer bands of the storm. Since the crops are only just penny-sized sprouts, such a hammering of rain would destroy much of the crops, leaving most of the US without their thanksgiving and Christmas veggies. but it seems the rain fell elsewhere and all was safe.
(same sort of thing happened a few years ago when the pumpkin crops got flooded out and it was impossible to find any canned pumpkin for pies that year.)
The real hope is during winter...the snowmelt from snow in colorado is what replenishes the rivers and the lakes. Monsoon rains sort of hit the pause button on the draining, but it's the snowmelt that fills it back up.
Dorsett Plastics Corp (Santa Clara, CA, USA)...cool find! 01:24 Dorsett Boats Began production in 1955 to about 1970. The company changed hands a few times, usually keeping a few of the upper management individuals. After that the molds were sold and a few copies were made.
Its a Vintage 1961 14' Dorsett Ski Bird fiberglass boat with 35 hp Evinrude motor. Love you guys!
This is a great channel, you both presented your findings very well. Well done!
You guys are doing a great job. Hopefully something can be resolved to save this lake.
About 15 years ago, my son came home from his duty in Iraq on R&R, and we rented a houseboat on Lake Mead for 4 days. On the afternoon of the 2nd day we were way up at the East end and the wind came up. It got quite rough. I found a protected cove out of the wind and we enjoyed the rest of the afternoon. During the night the wind shifted direction and I had to resecure the boat to keep it from getting blown ashore. Then about 5am the wind died and I got everyone up to get out of there before the wind came up again. They all went back to sleep and I brought the boat all the way down through the narrow gorge to a safe spot in the lower part of the lake. The point being that the wind can come up quickly and the waves can get big even on a lake
Enjoy the updates on the lake. My wife and I visited a few days ago and even tried the Marina restaurant out of your recommendation. Keep the videos coming.
Love watching your videos here in North Carolina! We have been really lucky with the rain this year. All of our lakes are full which is unusual for this time of year. I’ve been praying your area gets plenty of rain soon to help with the water shortage!
I came to see a locals perspective of what's happening at Lake Mead, and I stayed for the Father and Son relationship. Love you guys. That said, Lake Mead's issue is not climate related. They have been pumping in the same amount of water over the same pipe since the lake was dug. As the cities and population grows, the water supply did not. They have ALLOWED this to continue when they knew over a decade ago that there was an issue.
It's also related to man-made climate change and an unusually long desert drought. Human use of water IS a problem to be sure, but it wouldn't be a problem were it not for this drought.
Bunk. Meade is not filled by a pipe. It's filled by snow melt off of the Rockies feeding the Colorado River. As well as other riverine sources closer to the dam.The amount of inflow is inadequate since the drought to compensate for the excess requirements of untamed city and agricultural expansion in the South West. "They" have indeed known this was going to be a problem for way more than a decade. "They" being scientists were simply not listened to because who needs rational thought when you can go on living in a fools paradise.
@@RyanMcIntyre
Went from thousands of people in Vegas to Millions.
Surprised we haven't wiped ourselves out yet I wouldn't worry about "climate change".
@@RyanMcIntyre no, people growing things in a desert is the problem. for once it is not climate change, this is just unchecked greed
Love the videos. Keep them coming.
Dorset boats were late 1950’s early 1960’s. Cool boats
Thank you for your service Sr. From one Air Force veteran to a Army veteran Thank you brother for your updates on Lake Mead. Great channel
Thank you, Senior for your service.
I remember when I was around 4 or 5, my mom and dad would come out to Las Vegas Bay. My dad would park our camp trailer there and we would stay out there almost all summer on the weekends. It was such a busy place! I look at it now and want to cry. It’s so crazy how far the water has gone down. Thank you both for keeping us updated. I really enjoy your videos!
Blessings from Saskatoon Saskatchewan Canada
Just a question: Now that the water is low, why don’t they clean up all the boats and sunken debris? Thanks for all your time and efforts to share your adventures!
It's on federal land. Why is the government so inefficient? Because people who want to do the right thing and make change for the better are not the people we elect to office.
At 6:15 - your new marker can be that rusty metal box, it's perfect. It has 3 bars or ridges on the left side that you can gauge the water-level. 13 days ago you could see all 3 bars, now the bottom bar is under water and almost up to the 2nd bar/ridge
Thanks! I don't fish, but really enjoy your content. Your family shows the integrity of the American spirit, and why this country is worth saving.
We love your videos. You make the day really enjoyable. We love the lessons and information. You are a Beautiful Family. God Bless! We came for the Lake Mead info but we're staying for everything that you guys offer in these great videos. Stay safe and happy. Prayers from Ohio. 🙏🦋🐠🐟
Do they have any plans to remove the debris that the drought has revealed. Your videos are fascinating - thank you for documenting this!
Picking up things around those boats is a touchy subject. Don’t want it to be confused for relic hunting or touching protected items. Too many game wardens watching my channel 😆
@@SinCityOutdoors "protected items" a.k.a. junk at the bottom of a lake...... rotfl.... sounds like TX you can't even metal detect (they think your going to find KING-TUTs grave and they have to pay you for the discovery.....) SMH Sorry for rambling... but freedom isn't free after the US Government gets involved....
Curious, with the lake receding into the valleys, how does this effect the fish ?
The fishing is still pretty good
You do the best updates on the lake, very informative and I'm glad the water level is going up. Plus you add some fishing in the video. Keep up the good work.
My Grandfather had a 1959 Dorset boat. Was one of the first inboard mercury motor powered boats. He fished Lake Michigan mostly. It was awesome by the stories he told
You guys are the salt of the earth!!! Humble sincere honest what all of America should be!!! Loving the vids!!! 🇨🇦
Good job guys love watching yr videos keep up the good work
Looks like a 62 Dorset Catalina in excellent condition I've seen them for up to 22k
