It's Monday morning, January 26, 2026, and we're kickin' off the week with some prime winter action on the big lake. Weather's chillin' out there—cold snaps grippin' the region with temps hoverin' around freezin' overnight into the low 40s daytime, light winds from the north, and partly cloudy skies per the latest forecasts. No major storms hittin' us direct, but bundle up; that wind chill bites. Sunrise was at 7:15 AM, sunset around 5:30 PM—plenty of daylight to chase 'em. Lake Mead ain't tidal, but water levels are steady, sittin' stable after recent rises, makin' launches smooth from spots like the Hoover Dam ramp. Fish are active in these cooler waters! Capt Kevin Durham from Lake Mead Fishing Guide reports several large striped bass boated recently by early birds nettin' live shad and chuckin' swimbaits—those big stripers are keyin' on shad schools. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are hittin' swimbaits and crankbaits steady, with some nice smallies and largemouths pullin' boats in the last few days. Amounts? Solid limits if you're on 'em—dozens reported per trip, focusin' on 3-8 pounders, plus a few stripers pushin' double digits. Best lures right now: swimbaits in natural shad colors for stripers and bass, crankbaits divin' 10-20 feet for smallmouths. Topwater could work on warmer afternoons if bass rise. For bait, live shad is killer—net 'em early—or cut shad chunks for bottom rigs. Light tackle with 10-15 lb line for finesse, heavier for stripers. Hot spots? Hit Echo North for bass chasin' structure—rocks and points are gold. And the Hennepin Canal area for smallmouth/largemouth hangin' tight; locals are pullin' 'em on swimbaits there. Launch from Hoover Dam Lodge area, gas up at the Chevron—5 minutes to the ramp. Get out early, stay safe on the water, and tight lines! Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more reports!

Water's sittin' steady around 40% full per recent Lake Mead Fishing Guide reports, with striper schools pushin' up from the depths chasin' shad—perfect winter pattern. No tides here in this big ol' desert reservoir, but that Colorado River inflow's got a subtle current kickin' near the dam, stirrin' things up. Weather's playin' nice today: highs in the mid-50s, light winds from the northwest at 5-10 mph, mostly sunny after a chilly start. Sunrise hit at 7:15 AM, sunset 'round 5:20 PM—plenty of daylight to chase 'em. Fish activity's pickin' up as winter warms; locals report solid striper boils near Vegas Wash and Hemenway Harbor, with smallmouth bass huggin' rocky points in 20-40 feet. Recent catches? Charter crews like those outta Lake Mead Fishing Guide tallied limits of striped bass up to 20 pounds on live shad and anchovies, plus decent smallmouth on dropshots, and a few largemouth in the coves. Crappie and catfish roundin' out the mix—bag limits holdin' steady, check NDOW regs. Best lures right now: my go-to bladed jigs like the Z-Man Evergreen Jack Hammer in 1/2 oz for vibrating through striper schools, lipless crankbaits in 3/4 oz for grass edges, and soft plastics on jigheads. Live bait? Shad or anchovies on a fish-finder rig can't be beat for stripers; nightcrawlers for cats.

It's Friday, January 23rd, 2026, and we're kickin' off the day at 8:29 AM local time. No tides here in this big ol' desert reservoir, but water levels are sittin' low thanks to that ongoing Colorado River drought—Bureau of Reclamation reports show Lake Mead and Powell flirtin' with critical lows, with snow drought up north meanin' less inflow come spring. Weather's turnin' chilly with a massive winter storm barrelin' through the Southwest—Review-Journal says expect rain mixin' with snow, sleet, and ice across 160 million folks' backyards, so bundle up and watch for slippery ramps. Sunrise hit around 7:15 AM, sunset 'bout 5:30 PM, givin' you a solid 10 hours of light if the clouds cooperate. Fish activity's been steady despite the cold snap—anglers report decent striper schools pushin' shallow in the mornings, with some largemouth and smallmouth bass hittin' near rocky points. Recent catches include stripers up to 20 pounds, catfish in the 10-15 range, and a few trophy largemouth pushin' 5-7 lbs from last week's reports. Numbers are down from summer peaks, but quality's there if you target drop-offs. Best lures right now? Go with **swimbaits** or **jerkbaits** in shad patterns for stripers—slow-troll 'em at 10-15 feet. For bass, **jigs with craw trailers** or **drop-shot rigs** with soft plastics shine. Live bait? Nightcrawlers or anchovies on the bottom for cats and crappie; shad chunks for stripers. Hot spots: Hit **Katherine's Landing** for stripers along the cliffs—current from upstream releases stirs 'em up. Or try **Gregg Basin** for bass huggin' submerged humps; launch early to beat the wind. Stay safe out there, check NPS updates for access, and wear your PFDs with these levels.

We're looking at stable conditions out on the water this morning, which is exactly what we want heading into late January. The lake is holding steady, and that's putting the fish in an aggressive mood. Bass are biting hard right now—they're responding well to artificial presentations, so get your favorite swimbaits and crankbaits ready to go. The crappie bite's been mixed lately, but don't count them out. We've had some solid mixed bag reports coming in, so if you're targeting panfish, you've got decent opportunities. Bring a variety of jigs in white and chartreuse—those colors are working when the sun gets higher. Water temps this time of year mean the fish are still shallow to mid-depth, so don't overthink your presentations. Stick with natural colors early—browns, blacks, and crawdad patterns work great. As the day progresses and things warm up, don't be afraid to go with some brighter lures to trigger strikes. For your hot spots, focus on the main basin structure and around any rocky points. The creek channels are holding active fish right now too. Get there early, work the shadows, and be patient with your casts. Remember to get all your gear squared away before you leave the dock, and make sure you've got everything you need for a full day out there. Thanks for tuning in to the Lake Mead fishing report.

Water levels are holding steady around 1,062 feet, which means conditions are stable for getting out on the water today. We've had some solid activity lately. Bass are biting well in the deeper channels as we move through mid-January. Your best bet is working artificial lures along the rocky structure—drop-shot rigs with soft plastics are producing consistent results. If you're going the live bait route, shiners and crawdads are working great for both bass and catfish. The largemouth are aggressive right now, so don't be shy with your presentations. Work the shadier areas near the dam where water temperatures stay consistent. Crappie fishing has been decent too in the channel areas, so if you're looking for a mixed bag, hit those transition zones between deep and shallow water. For your hot spots, head over to the Boulder Beach area where rocky points hold fish all day long. The Overton Arm is also firing up—fewer crowds and plenty of structure for quality fish. Bring plenty of sunscreen; even in January the Nevada sun reflects hard off that water. Before you head out, make sure you've got all your gear—rod holders, tackle boxes, plenty of water, and don't forget your life jacket. Check your fuel and tell someone where you're headed.

Winter conditions are holding strong out here in Nevada, and the bite has been absolutely stellar. Water temperatures are dropping, which means our stripers, largemouth bass, and crappie are feeding aggressively right now. According to recent reports from the Lake Mead fishing community, stripers, bass, and crappie bites have been strong throughout these winter months. The fish are concentrated in deeper structure, so you'll want to focus your efforts accordingly. For lures, top five performers on striped bass have been proven winners out here. Spinnow jigs in the 70-gram range, particularly in pink, are putting fish in the boat consistently. If you're targeting largemouth, mix in some quality artificial presentations that mimic natural forage. The fish are aggressive right now, so don't be afraid to work your lures with confidence. Echo Bay is heating up—pun intended—and it's been producing solid crappie runs. If you're looking for another solid option, the main lake structure around the traditional striped bass zones has been consistent producers. Water levels at Lake Mead are running around 1,063 feet elevation, which is important intel for planning your day and understanding where the fish are staging. Here's the bottom line: get out there before you miss this bite. Winter is prime time at Lake Mead. Make sure you've got your gear dialed in before you leave the dock—extra line, fresh hooks, and those spinnow jigs I mentioned. Thanks so much for tuning in to the Lake Mead fishing report.

It's Friday morning, January 16th, 2026, and we're kickin' off with sunrise at about 7:15 AM and sunset around 5:20 PM—plenty of daylight to chase those bites before the chill sets in. Weather's classic desert winter: highs in the low 50s, lows dipping to 35 overnight, mostly sunny with light winds from the northwest per the latest NOAA forecast. No tides here on this big ol' reservoir, but water levels are holdin' steady thanks to tribal conservation efforts like the Fort Yuma Quechan's 13,000 acre-feet savings last year, keepin' things fishable. Fish activity's pickin' up after a slow start to the year—Nevada Fish Reports notes the lake's really kicked into gear these last few weeks. Striped bass are boilin' in schools, with limits comin' easy on baitfish patterns; largemouth and smallmouth bass are active too, especially stripers crashin' shad balls. Recent catches include dozens of stripers up to 20 pounds, some quality largemouth hittin' 5-7 pounds, and catfish stackin' up in coves. Numbers are solid: boats reportin' 10-20 stripers per trip, per local guides. Best lures right now? Drop-shot rigs with 4-inch plastic worms or swimbaits in shad colors for bass—mimic those baitfish everywhere, as one YouTube report from last week shows 'em swarmmin'. For stripers, troll umbrella rigs or Kastmasters in chrome. Live bait? Threadfin shad or anchovies on a Carolina rig can't be beat; nightcrawlers for cats. Hot spots: Hit Boulder Basin near the mud banks for stripers, or Vegas Wash coves for bass huggin' structure—launch from Willow Springs Marina if ramps are open. Bundle up, watch for rattlesnakes on those rocky shores, and tight lines! Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more reports!

Water level's holdin' steady around 1,062 feet, perfect for gettin' out on the big blue. No tides here on this freshwater giant, but expect partly cloudy skies with highs in the low 50s and light winds from the west—prime winter fishin' weather. Sunrise kicked off at 7:15 AM, sunset around 5:10 PM, givin' ya a solid 10 hours of daylight to chase 'em. Fish are active in the shallows early and late; stripers are boilin' on shad schools, largemouth and smallmouth bass hittin' drop-offs, and catfish prowlin' the bottom. Recent catches from last week's reports show limits of 5-10 lb stripers, 3-5 lb bass, and channel cats up to 15 lbs—folks pullin' strings daily off the points. Best lures right now? Go with chartreuse or shad-pattern swimbaits on a football jig for bass, or spoons and umbrella rigs trolled 20-30 feet down for stripers. Live shad or anchovies on a Carolina rig can't be beat for cats—cut bait works too if you're shore-bound.

Lake level’s holding around 1,063 feet above sea level, according to LakeMead.uslakes.info, so launches are in decent shape but still on the low side. Mornings are cool in the mid‑40s, afternoons pushing into the low 60s under mostly clear skies with a light north breeze. That north wind keeps it feeling cooler and can stack a little chop in the open basin. Sunrise is right around 7 a.m., sunset about 5 p.m., so you’ve got a tight winter window. No real tide influence here, but expect the usual midday lull and better bites at first and last light. Recent reports from local anglers and marinas around Boulder Harbor and Callville Bay have been solid on **striped bass**, fair on **largemouth and smallmouth**, and a little slower but steady on **catfish**. Most stripers being caught are schoolie class, 1–3 pounds, with a few 5–8 pound fish mixed in on deeper structure near the river channel. Black bass are running 1–2 pounds, with an occasional 3‑plus if you grind. Fish activity is classic winter Mead: the bite is best in the low‑light windows and when the wind lays down. Stripers are hanging 40–80 feet over main‑lake humps and points, especially off the Boulder Basin and toward the narrows. Watch your electronics—when you mark tight schools mid‑column, drop straight to them. Best lures for stripers right now are: - 1–1.5 oz white or pearl jigging spoons - 3–4 inch soft swimbaits on 1/2–3/4 oz heads in shad or silver - Chrome or white blade baits vertically jigged Bait anglers are doing well with cut anchovies, sardines, and threadfin shad on dropper rigs. Nose‑hooked live shad, if you can get them, are still king. For largemouth and smallmouth, slow is the name of the game. Focus on 15–35 feet around rock piles, bluff ends, and broken chunk rock: - Green pumpkin or brown finesse jigs with a craw trailer - Drop‑shot worms in natural shad or morning dawn - Small suspending jerkbaits in clear or ghost shad, worked with long pauses Catfish guys soaking cut bait or chicken liver in 30–60 feet off deeper points and channel swings are picking up a few each outing, mostly at night or very early. Couple of hot spots to circle: - **Boulder Basin**: from Hemenway up past Boulder Beach. Good schools of stripers roaming, especially off main‑lake points. - **The Narrows between Boulder and Virgin basins**: classic winter striper water—steep breaks, deep current, and bait stacked on the ledges. If you’re closer to Callville, those long tapering points just outside the marina have been giving up both stripers and smallmouth when the wind cooperates. That’s it for today from Lake Mead.

Out here we don’t worry about tides – Mead’s a desert reservoir on the Colorado River – but we do watch wind and barometer. National Weather Service forecasts mild winter highs in the upper 50s to low 60s, light north breeze early, and stable high pressure. Clear skies mean a chilly morning and a bright, bluebird day, so expect a slower start until the sun warms the shallows a bit. According to timeanddate for the Boulder City area, sunrise is right around 7 a.m. with sunset near 5 p.m., giving a tight mid‑day feeding window. Local guides around Boulder Harbor and Callville Bay are reporting that smallmouth, largemouth, and schoolie stripers have all been active on the breaks from 15 to 35 feet, especially on points that see afternoon sun. Recent catches: the Lake Mead, Nevada Fishing Report Today podcast on Spreaker has been talking up strong numbers of smallmouth in the 1–2 pound class with a few 3s mixed in, steady largemouth off deeper timber and rock, and decent striper action on smaller fish with the occasional 5–8 pounder. Most boats aren’t loading the livewell, but they’re putting together 10–20 fish days if they stick to structure and slow down. Best baits right now are classic winter confidence plays: - For bass, think **finesse**: green pumpkin and shad‑pattern drop‑shot worms, 3–4 inch swimbaits on light heads, and brown or purple football jigs crawled over rock. A silver blade bait or spoon yo‑yoed off the bottom is putting some better smallmouth in the net. - For stripers, locals are doing well with white or pearl flukes, small swimbaits, and 1–1.5 ounce spoons dropped on marks. Cut anchovy or sardine still gets bit if you want to soak bait. If you like bait fishing, threadfin shad imitations under a slip float or small pieces of anchovy on a dropper rig will pick up both stripers and the occasional cat. Evening and first dark can be sneaky good for bait soakers when the boat traffic dies. A couple of local hot spots: - **Boulder Basin / Boulder Harbor to Hemenway**: good mixed bag area. Work the submerged points and old roadbeds in 20–35 feet; watch your sonar for bait balls and arc marks just off bottom. - **Echo Bay and Overton Arm**: according to recent local videos and reports, crappie and smaller stripers are stacking on brush and channel swings. Small crappie jigs, 2‑inch grubs, and tiny spoons are doing work here, and a downsized swimbait will pick off better bass. Water is still low, so the structure is more pronounced than years past. Major League Fishing and Bureau of Reclamation notes point out that Mead is only about a third full, which means long, tapering points and steep breaks; don’t be afraid to fish out off the ends in 40-plus if the sun is high and the lake goes flat. Keep an eye on the wind: if it lays down late morning, slide shallow on the sun‑baked banks; if it kicks up, hit the wind‑blown points with reaction baits like a small j This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Out here we don’t worry about tides – Mead’s a big desert reservoir, so water level and wind matter more than any pull of the moon. The National Park Service notes the lake is still running low, so expect plenty of rock and structure showing, especially up in the coves and along points toward the Overton Arm and around Boulder Basin. Weather today around the lake is classic winter desert: cold at first light, clear to partly cloudy, light to moderate north-to-northeast breeze, and dry air. Mornings will feel brisk with temps near freezing, but we’ll climb into the 50s by afternoon. Sunrise is right around 7 o’clock local, with sunset just after 5, giving a tight feeding window around both ends of the day. Winter fish activity is all about slower metabolisms. Striped bass and largemouth are still chewing, but you’ve got to slow your presentation and key on that mid‑morning warmup and the last hour of light. Local reports from recent trips out of Hemenway and Las Vegas Bay have shown fair numbers of schoolie stripers in the 1–3 pound class, with an occasional 5–8 pounder for folks willing to chase birds and watch their electronics. Largemouth and smallmouth have been coming as singles rather than big numbers, but they’re quality fish holding on deeper rock and ledges. Best bets for **striped bass**: - Working vertical in 40–80 feet with 1– to 2‑ounce jigging spoons, Kastmasters, or ice jigs in chrome, white, or glow. - Slow‑trolled deep‑diving cranks or umbrella rigs along the old river channel edges. - For bait soakers, frozen anchovies are still king; thread them on a 1/0–2/0 hook, drop to the marks, and let them sit still. A little scent and fluorocarbon leader help in this clear winter water. For **largemouth and smallmouth**: - Finesse is the name of the game. Drop‑shot worms in green pumpkin, morning dawn, or shad colors, nose‑hooked and worked painstakingly slow on steep rocky banks. - Football jigs in brown, green pumpkin, or brown/purple with a small craw trailer, dragged along 20–35 feet of water on points. - On calmer afternoons, a suspending jerkbait in a natural shad pattern, worked with long pauses, can wake up some nice smallies on wind‑blown points. A couple of local hot spots to consider: - **Boulder Basin / Hemenway area**: Good for stripers, especially near the marina and along the deeper breaks. Watch for gulls and loons bunching up – that usually means stripers pushing shad. - **Las Vegas Bay and the 33‑hole area**: Consistent winter striper action with some bonus largemouth. Graph for bait in the 40–60 foot range and fish just above the schools. If you’re willing to make a longer run, the **Overton Arm** can be excellent for both smallmouth and stripers when the wind cooperates, focusing on rocky points and submerged humps.

Fish are bitin' in afternoon feeds as waters cool, similar to Shasta Lake patterns from westernbass.com where largemouth are keyin' on shallow flats under 10 feet. Here at Mead, stripers are schoolin' steady in Boulder Basin, with schoolies hittin' consistent—mix in some big largemouth and spotted bass pushin' shallow on wind-blown banks. Recent catches? Kayak guys reportin' huge spotted bass up to teener size, and stripers on the prowl per forum chatter. Tilapia are around but tough on hook—better with archery than lures, says 24hourcampfire locals. Catfish and bluegill round out the mix for panfish fans. Best play: Slow it down with finesse. Toss **jigs** or drop-shot rigs with minnow-imitatin' plastics for bass—think 1/4-oz football jigs in green pumpkin. For stripers, **swimbaits** like 4-inch shad patterns or anchovy-colored spoons on a slow troll. Live bait? Threadfin shad or anchovies on a Carolina rig for cats and stripers; nightcrawlers for bluegill. Topwaters like big walks-the-dog baits for explosive largemouth strikes late afternoon, just like Shasta reports. Hot spots today: Hit the rocky coves in **Boulder Basin** near Hemenway Harbor for bass—less pressured flats with subtle structure. Or drift **Overton Arm** for stripers schoolin' on bait balls, especially if current picks up from inflows.

We don’t have tides out here in the desert, so you can forget the tide chart and focus on light, wind, and water temps. Sunrise comes in right around 7 AM with sunset near 4:35 PM, giving us a short winter window where that low light really matters. Mornings are cool and clear, afternoons mild, with light north to northeast breeze most of the day. According to recent National Park Service updates, lake level is holding in the low 1060s, so ramps at Hemenway, Callville, Temple Bar and South Cove remain usable, but expect low-water structure and long walks to the shoreline. Fishing pressure’s light and the bite is classic early-winter Mead. Stripers are schooling up off deeper points and breaks in 40–80 feet, especially near Hemenway, Boulder Basin, and out toward the narrows. Recent reports from local boaters and marina chatter have most of the catching coming on smaller schoolie stripers with a few better fish mixed in, plus some bonus catfish and the odd largemouth off rocky shelves. Best producers this week have been: - For stripers: 1–2 oz jigging spoons in shad or chrome, white bucktail jigs, and ice jigs worked vertical once you mark bait. Trolling deep-diving shad cranks or umbrella rigs along the old river channel edges is also turning numbers. - For largemouth and smallmouth: Green pumpkin or watermelon drop-shots, 3–4" finesse worms, and small football jigs dragged slow on gravel and chunk rock in 15–30 feet. On calm, sunny afternoons, a suspending jerkbait over points can surprise you. - For catfish: Cut anchovy, sardine, or chicken liver on basic Carolina rigs in 20–40 feet around marinas and coves at night or very early. If you’re bank fishing, Hemenway Harbor fishing pier and the Boulder Beach area near the marina are solid bets. Outdoorithm’s Boulder Beach campground notes easy access to the water and confirms that fishing is available near the Hemenway Harbor pier, and that lines up with what locals have been seeing: steady action on smaller stripers and cats soaking cut bait off the bottom. Two hotspots to circle today: - **Hemenway / Boulder Basin:** Watch for birds working over open water; when they start diving, run-and-gun to the school and drop spoons or toss small swimbaits. Early and late, work the rocky points with drop-shots for smallmouth. - **South Cove / Temple Bar side:** Snoflo’s South Cove report highlights stripers, largemouth, catfish, and sunfish in this reach of the river; slow-roll Alabama rigs or deep cranks along the river channel swings, then switch to spoons once you mark tight bait balls. Overall activity is moderate but consistent if you slow down and fish vertically. Electronics are key: find the bait in that 40–80 foot range and stay on top of it. Downsizing line to 8–12 lb fluoro and keeping presentations subtle has been making a difference in this clear winter water. That’s it for today from Lake Mead.

Fishing pressure’s light and the bite is classic early-winter Mead. Stripers are schooling up off deeper points and breaks in 40–80 feet, especially near Hemenway, Boulder Basin, and out toward the narrows. Recent reports from local boaters and marina chatter have most of the catching coming on smaller schoolie stripers with a few better fish mixed in, plus some bonus catfish and the odd largemouth off rocky shelves. Best producers this week have been: - For stripers: 1–2 oz jigging spoons in shad or chrome, white bucktail jigs, and ice jigs worked vertical once you mark bait. Trolling deep-diving shad cranks or umbrella rigs along the old river channel edges is also turning numbers. - For largemouth and smallmouth: Green pumpkin or watermelon drop-shots, 3–4" finesse worms, and small football jigs dragged slow on gravel and chunk rock in 15–30 feet. On calm, sunny afternoons, a suspending jerkbait over points can surprise you. - For catfish: Cut anchovy, sardine, or chicken liver on basic Carolina rigs in 20–40 feet around marinas and coves at night or very early. If you’re bank fishing, Hemenway Harbor fishing pier and the Boulder Beach area near the marina are solid bets. Outdoorithm’s Boulder Beach campground notes easy access to the water and confirms that fishing is available near the Hemenway Harbor pier, and that lines up with what locals have been seeing: steady action on smaller stripers and cats soaking cut bait off the bottom. Two hotspots to circle today: - **Hemenway / Boulder Basin:** Watch for birds working over open water; when they start diving, run-and-gun to the school and drop spoons or toss small swimbaits. Early and late, work the rocky points with drop-shots for smallmouth. - **South Cove / Temple Bar side:** Snoflo’s South Cove report highlights stripers, largemouth, catfish, and sunfish in this reach of the river; slow-roll Alabama rigs or deep cranks along the river channel swings, then switch to spoons once you mark tight bait balls. Overall activity is moderate but consistent if you slow down and fish vertically. Electronics are key: find the bait in that 40–80 foot range and stay on top of it. Downsizing line to 8–12 lb fluoro and keeping presentations subtle has been making a difference in this clear winter water. That’s it for today from Lake Mead.

It's a crisp winter mornin' here on December 27th, 2025, at 8:32 AM local—sunrise hit about 7:15 AM, sunset 'round 4:45 PM, givin' us a short day on the water. Weather's coolin' off to highs in the low 50s, light winds from the northwest at 5-10 mph, mostly sunny skies per the latest NOAA forecast—perfect for bundlin' up and hittin' the lake without freezin' your tail off. No tides to worry 'bout on this big ol' reservoir, but water levels are sittin' low 'round 1050 feet elevation, accordin' to recent Bureau of Reclamation updates—means shallower coves and more structure for fish to hug. Fish activity's pickin' up in these early winter patterns; stripers are boilin' in schools chasin' shad near the surface, largemouth and smallmouth bass are stackin' up on drop-offs, and channel cats are prowlin' the bottom. Recent reports from the Lake Mead Fishing Report podcast on Spreaker, dated mid-December, say anglers are haulin' in limits: stripers up to 20 pounds, bass in the 3-5 pound class, and cats pushin' 10-15ers. Limits are common if you find the schools—20+ stripers per boat some days. Best lures right now? Toss **chartreuse or shad-colored swimbaits** like 4-inch Keitech Swing Impact for stripers, or **jigs with curly tail grubs** in green pumpkin for bass—work 'em slow on the bottom. For bait, live shad or anchovies on a fish-finder rig can't be beat for cats and stripers; cut bait like mackerel works too if you're bank-bound. Get your gear before leavin' the dock! Hot spots: Hit **Katherine Cove** for stripers early mornin'—schools bustin' surface. Drop down to **Gregg Basin** for bass and cats huggin' points—structure's killer with low water.

Weather's lookin' clear with highs in the low 50s, light winds from the northwest at 5-10 mph—perfect for bundlin' up and hittin' the water without freezin' your tail off. Sunrise was at 7:12 AM, sunset around 4:45 PM, givin' us a solid 9.5 hours of daylight to chase bites. No tides here in this big ol' desert reservoir, but lake levels are stable at about 1,070 feet elevation, per the latest Bureau of Reclamation reports. Fish activity's pickin' up in these cooler waters—striped bass are schoolin' shallow on shad, with reports of linesiders crashin' topwaters in the afternoons. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are keyin' on rock points and coves, hangin' in 10-20 feet, not super aggressive but feedin' steady on slower presentations. Recent catches from local forums like WesternBass.com show stripers up to 20 pounds boated near the mudflats, plus limits of 3-5 pound largemouths and a few quality smallies pushin' 4 pounds. Catfish are prowlin' the bottom too, with channels hittin' cut bait. For lures, go finesse this time of year—drop-shot rigs with 4-inch plastic worms in green pumpkin or a Ned rig on light jigheads are gold for bass. Stripers love swimbaits like 6-inch Keitech Swing Impacts or spoons bounced off the bottom. Best baits? Live shad or anchovies for stripers and cats, nightcrawlers or chicken liver for channels. Fish slow, work the transitions. Hot spots right now: Simpson Bay for stripers crashin' bait balls, and the rock piles off Boulder Harbor for bass huggin' structure—quiet coves away from crowds are holdin' the big ones.

Out here you can forget tides – we’re on a desert reservoir, so it’s all about **water level, wind, and winter light**, not tidal swing. NOAA shows a cool high-pressure pattern today over southern Nevada with light north to northeast breeze, clear skies, morning temps in the 40s pushing into the 60s by afternoon. That stable, sunny weather has the water running cold but predictable, which is classic winter structure fishing on Mead. Sunrise is right around 7 a.m. with sunset a bit after 4:30 p.m. The real bite windows have been that first hour of light and a short afternoon flurry once the rocks warm up. Midday has been slow unless you’re on deep schools. Local reports this past week around Government Wash, Vegas Wash, and the Boulder Basin have shown **stripers** and **largemouth** as the main players, with a few smallmouth mixed in. Most boats are putting 10–25 schoolie stripers to the net if they stay mobile and chase bait, with bass guys scratching out 5–10 keepers on a good day, fewer on a tough one. Nothing crazy big, but plenty of 1–3 pound fish if you grind. Best patterns right now: - **Stripers** Work the 40–80 foot stuff off main-lake points and submerged roadbeds. If you’ve got electronics, hunt the bait balls and you’ll see arcs stacked under them. Vertical jigging a 1–1.5 oz white or chrome spoon, Kastmaster-style metal, or a pearl fluke on a heavy jig head has been the ticket. Slow, yo-yo hops with long pauses are getting bit. At first light, you can still find some surface activity in the backs of coves if the wind stays down. A small white walking bait or a 3–4" paddletail swimbait on a 1/4 oz head slow-rolled just under the surface has been producing. - **Largemouth and smallmouth** Think rock, shade, and deep edges. Fish are sliding off into 20–35 feet on chunk rock, bluff walls, and ends of points. A **drop shot** with a 4–5" shad- or morning dawn–colored worm, fished painfully slow, is money. Same goes for a 3/8 oz **football jig** in green pumpkin with a small trailer, dragged and lightly hopped down the breaks. If there’s a little chop and clouds sneak in, a 3–4" **baitfish swimbait** in shad or ghost colors, counted down and slow-rolled along the face of points, is putting better fish in the boat. Best baits and lures, local-style: - For stripers: • White or chrome slab spoons • Pearl flukes on 3/4–1 oz heads • Cut anchovy or sardine on a Carolina rig if you’re soaking bait – still a staple at Mead - For bass: • Drop-shot worms in shad, morning dawn, and oxblood • 3/8 oz green pumpkin football jigs • Small shad-pattern crankbaits for ripping along rock in 10–15 feet during the afternoon warmup Couple of **current hot spots** folks have been leaning on: - **Government Wash / Vegas Wash area** – Good mix of schoolie stripers and spots for winter bass along the rocky cuts and submerged road edges.

No tides here on this big ol' desert lake, but water levels are droppin' sobering-like, sittin' around 28% full according to the Bureau of Reclamation's latest outlook on Coyote Gulch blog. Sunrise hit about 7:15 AM, sunset 'round 4:45 PM—short days mean fish are hunkered in the shallows early and late. Fish activity's slowed to a winter grind, just like the California Delta reports from Westernbass.com—bass goin' finesse mode in low-50s water temps, pullin' off grass to edges and 15-25 foot depths. Striped bass holdin' steadier with the current, schoolies bitin' on tides of baitfish movement. Recent catches? Numbers over size—folks grindin' dropshots and straight-tail worms for limits of keeper largemouth and smallmouth bass, mix of stripers in the mix too. No huge hauls posted lately on Lake Mead specifics, but expect 2-5 pounders if you work it right.

We don’t worry about tides out here in the desert, but water level and weather are driving the bite. According to the National Park Service and Bureau of Reclamation updates, Mead is still low but stable, with clear to lightly stained water and surface temps sliding into the upper 50s in most open basins. Early winter patterns are locked in. Weather this morning is cool and calm around the Boulder Basin: light north breeze, morning temps in the 40s rising into the low 60s under mostly sunny skies, with only a slight chance of clouds building this afternoon based on NWS Las Vegas forecasts. Sunrise is right around 6:45 local, sunset near 4:30, so your prime windows are that first hour of light and the last 90 minutes before dark. Fish activity has shifted deeper. Stripers are grouping up on main-lake points, creek mouths, and along the old river channel breaks. Recent angler reports on Nevada Fish Reports and Western tournament boards say most schoolie stripers are running 1–4 pounds, with a few 6–10 pound fish mixed in for guys willing to graph and stay on bait balls. The bite’s not wide open, but once you find them, you can put a decent box together. Best producers this week have been: - For stripers: 1–2 ounce white or pearl jigging spoons, silver Kastmasters, and 4–5 inch soft plastic swimbaits on 1/2–3/4 ounce heads. Vertical jig those spoons under birds or bait in 40–80 feet. - When they’re finicky: drop‑shot flukes or small paddletails just above the marks on your graph. - For cut bait: anchovies and sardines on a simple Carolina or three‑way rig, dropped to suspended marks or soaked on ledges. Night and pre‑dawn anchor soaks are still turning a mix of stripers and channel cats. Largemouth and smallmouth are in classic winter mode. According to recent WesternBass-style tournament chatter from Mead, most bass are coming off rock in 15–35 feet, especially where chunk rock meets deeper water. Think finesse: dropshot worms in shad or morning dawn, ned rigs, and 3-inch tubes dragged slow. A few better smallmouth are eating 3.8 swimbaits slow‑rolled along bluff walls when the wind puts a little chop on the water. For bait anglers on shore, PowerBait-style dough and nightcrawlers are taking stocker trout and the occasional bonus striper near coves that have been recently planted. Local YouTube anglers fishing the Boulder area ponds and marina have been reporting consistent action on garlic PowerBait and small feather jigs under a bobber when the sun is low. A couple of hot spots to keep in your back pocket: - **Boulder Harbor and Hemenway area**: Good for shore and small‑boat anglers. Troll or vertical jig around the old river channel edge, and shore soak anchovies off the points at first and last light. - **Government Wash and Fishers Landing**: Classic winter striper water.

For bait anglers on shore, PowerBait-style dough and nightcrawlers are taking stocker trout and the occasional bonus striper near coves that have been recently planted. Local YouTube anglers fishing the Boulder area ponds and marina have been reporting consistent action on garlic PowerBait and small feather jigs under a bobber when the sun is low. A couple of hot spots to keep in your back pocket: - **Boulder Harbor and Hemenway area**: Good for shore and small‑boat anglers. Troll or vertical jig around the old river channel edge, and shore soak anchovies off the points at first and last light. - **Government Wash and Fishers Landing**: Classic winter striper water.

Out here we don’t worry about tides – Mead’s a desert reservoir, so your “tide” is the daily wind and boat chop. The Bureau of Reclamation is keeping the lake low but fairly stable, so launch access at Hemenway and Callville is fine. Lower water has the bait and gamefish pulled to the breaks, points, and old river channel edges. According to the National Weather Service for the Boulder City / Hoover Dam area, today is clear and cool, light north breeze in the morning, bumping up in the afternoon. Highs in the upper 50s to low 60s, overnight down near 40. Sunrise is right around 6:45 a.m., sunset just after 4:30 p.m. That first 90 minutes of light has been the money window for active fish, with another bump right before dark if the wind stacks bait on the points. Local shop chatter and Nevada Fish and Wildlife creel reports say **stripers** are still the headliner, with a mix of 1–4 pound schoolies and the occasional 8–12 pound fish. Most numbers are coming from the Boulder Basin and up toward the Vegas Wash. Folks tossing swimbaits and soft jerkbaits are also sticking a few solid **largemouth** and **smallmouth** on chunk rock and bluff transitions, mostly 1–3 pounds with an odd 4-plus if you grind. Best producers for stripers: - **Lures**: 3–5 inch white or pearl paddletail swimbaits on 3/8–1/2 oz heads, chrome or bone walking baits on calm mornings, and silver jigging spoons or Kastmasters when they’re pushed deep. - **Bait**: Cut anchovies are still king. Rig on a 1/0–2/0 hook with just enough weight to get down, either vertical under the boat or slow-drifting outside the main traffic lanes. Chum a little and let the school build. For the bass: - **Lures**: Green pumpkin finesse jigs, Ned rigs, and dropshots with shad or morning dawn worms in 20–35 feet have been steady. When the sun gets up and the breeze ripples the surface, a small underspin with a 2.8–3.3 keitech-style swimbait is putting better fish in the boat. - Work the shady side of points, broken rock, and any bit of timber or brush that still has water on it. Long casts and slow, “winter patience” retrieves are making the difference. Couple of local hot spots to circle on your map: - **Hemenway Harbor to Boulder Beach**: Classic winter striper zone. Watch your electronics for bait balls in 40–80 feet; when you see arcs stacked under them, drop spoons or slow-roll swimbaits. Early topwater blowups can happen tight to the bank if shad push shallow at first light. - **Government Wash**: A great mixed-bag area. Stripers roam the mouths and channel swings, while largemouth and smallies hold on the cuts, shelves, and chunk rock. Start on the outer points with anchovies or spoons for stripers, then slide inside with a dropshot or Ned for bass once the sun gets higher. If the wind lays down and you’ve got the boat and gas, running up-lake toward **Temple Bar** can reward you with less pressure and some quality This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Out here on Mead we don’t worry about tides – Hoover Dam’s got this pond pinned in place – but we do watch the wind, barometer, and light. National Weather Service out of Las Vegas is calling for cool, clear desert winter conditions today, light north to northeast breeze under 10 mph, highs pushing the 60s along the basin, and cold nights dropping into the 40s and upper 30s in the coves. That stable high‑pressure pattern has the water slick in the mornings and fish a little cautious mid‑day. Sunrise over the bowl is right around 6:45 local, with sunset close to 4:30, so your prime feeding windows are that first hour of gray light and the last hour before dark. With the clear skies and low sun angle, fish are sliding deeper and tighter to structure once the sun gets up. Recent reports from local tackle shops and marina chatter around Callville and Boulder Beach have striped bass still doing the bulk of the catching. Most fish are schoolie size, 1–3 pounds, with the occasional 5–7‑pounder coming from deeper humps and the river channel edge. A few largemouth and smallmouth are showing along rocky points and inside cuts, but it’s a scratch bite – think a handful of bass for a full, patient day. Catfish are a steady backup after dark on bait in the backs of coves. Best producers right now: for stripers, think shad imitators. Anglers are doing well slow‑rolling 3–4 inch soft swimbaits on 3/8‑ to 1/2‑oz heads, white or pearl with a little silver. Silver spoons and jigging slabs dropped on meter marks in 40–80 feet are putting fish in the boat when you find bait balls. Trollers are still picking up limits pulling deep‑diving crankbaits and umbrella rigs along the old river channel. For bait, frozen anchovies and sardines on a simple Carolina rig are hard to beat; drop them right under the boat and let the stripers come to you. For the green fish, downsize. A finesse jig or green pumpkin Ned rig dragged along chunk rock is the deal for smallmouth. Largemouth are coming on slow‑worked suspending jerkbaits just off steep banks and in flooded brush pockets, especially when a little breeze ruffles the surface. Night crawlers and cut bait on the bottom will still find channel cats if you set up on a point with some current. Couple of local hot spots to circle on your map: – **Boulder Basin**, especially around Boulder Beach and the saddle islands, has been giving up good numbers of schoolie stripers to jigging spoons and bait soakers. – **The Overton Arm**, working from Echo Bay down toward Stewarts Point, is a solid bet when you can locate shad.

We don’t worry about tides here, but water is still low and clear overall, with a light stain on wind‑blown points. Overnight temps have been chilly, but afternoons have been warming into the high 50s to low 60s with light north to northeast winds and high pressure settling in. Sunrise is right around 6:45 a.m., with sunset near 4:30 p.m., so that first hour of light and the last 60–90 minutes are your prime windows. Striper activity has picked up with the cooler water. Local reports out of Boulder Harbor and Hemenway show steady catches of school‑size stripers, mostly 1–4 pounds, with a few bigger fish pushing 8–10 when the shad bunch up. The bite has been best just before sunup and again mid‑morning when light chop stacks bait on windward points. Anglers soaking cut anchovies on dropper rigs in 40–80 feet are still putting good numbers in the box, but the folks chasing birds and graphing bait balls are doing better on artificials. Largemouth and smallmouth are in classic winter mode: tighter to rock, slower to chase, but still very catchable. The smallies are coming off bluff ends and chunk rock in 15–35 feet, with most fish in the 1–2 pound range and a few 3s mixed in. Largemouth reports have been scattered but steady around brush, old flooded structure, and the backs of coves with deeper water nearby. Best producers right now: - For stripers: • **Cut anchovies** and sardines on a simple dropper loop or Carolina rig, 1–2 oz weight, leader 18–30 inches. • **Jigging spoons** (¾–1 oz), white, chrome, or shad patterns, yo‑yoed vertically under birds or over marked bait. • **Soft jerkbaits and flukes** on ¼–⅜ oz heads, counted down and burned through active schools. - For bass: • **Drop‑shot** with 4–6" worms in natural shad, morning dawn, and green pumpkin, fished painfully slow on main‑lake points. • **Ned rigs** and small tube jigs on 1/10–¼ oz heads dragged across rock for smallmouth. • **Football jigs** in brown/purple or green pumpkin with a craw trailer for the better largemouth bites in 20–35 feet. • On calm, sunny afternoons, a **suspending jerkbait** worked with long pauses over 10–20 feet is stealing a few bonus fish. If you’re running for stripers, two classic hot spots right now: - **Boulder Basin / Hemenway to Boulder Harbor line** – Watch for birds diving on shad and watch your graph; the schools are moving, but when you land on them you can boat a dozen quick. - **Around the Hoover Dam / intake towers and the Saddle Island area** – Deep water, current, and bait make this a consistent winter striper zone; vertical spoons and cut bait both shine. For bass, a couple of solid choices: - **Gregg’s Basin** – Rocky points and walls with access to deep water are holding a mix of smallies and largemouth; work slow plastics along the breaks. - **Temple Bar area** – Clearer water and classic structure; target steep rocky shoreline This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We don’t worry about tides out here in the desert, but we *do* watch the weather and the moon. With stable high pressure over southern Nevada and light north–northeast winds early, the lake is calm this morning, with a bit more chop expected by midday as the breeze picks up. Skies are mostly clear and it’s a classic cool early‑winter pattern, which usually pushes fish a little deeper but keeps the bite consistent once the sun gets up. Sunrise over Mead came a little after 6:40 local time, with sunset just before 4:30 this evening, so you’ve got a short window of low‑light feeding at each end of the day. FishingReminder’s solunar forecast for the Henderson area shows the better bite lining up late morning and again mid‑afternoon, instead of at dawn, which matches what locals have been seeing this week. According to the Lake Mead, Nevada Fishing Report Today podcast and other local chatter, the early‑winter pattern is locked in: - **Striped bass** are holding 40–80 feet down, with better numbers where there’s a little current or wind push. School fish have been running 1–4 pounds, with a few bigger models coming off deeper humps. - **Largemouth and smallmouth** are sliding off the bank to 20–35 feet on rock and ledges. Fewer bites than fall, but better quality when you connect. - **Catfish** are still picking up cut bait in 30–50 feet on flats near drop‑offs. Recent reports from Nevada Fish Reports and local guides around Boulder Basin and the Overton Arm say anglers trolling for stripers are still putting 10–25 keepers in the box on a good half‑day when they stay on the bait and adjust depth. Schoolie fish are smaller up the Overton, but more consistent; Boulder has a better shot at a bigger striper. Best lures right now: - For **stripers**: - Deep‑diving shad cranks and 4–5 inch soft plastic swimbaits on 1– to 1.5‑ounce jigheads, slow‑rolled at the depth you’re marking fish. - Umbrella rigs with pearl or shad‑colored plastics when birds and surface activity give away the schools. - For **bass**: - Football jigs in brown, green pumpkin, or craw patterns dragged painfully slow on rocky points. - Drop‑shot worms and small shad‑style plastics for suspended smallmouth off bluff walls and submerged structure. Best bait: - **Stripers**: anchovies are still king. Fish them on a drop‑shot or simple Carolina rig straight under the boat, set just above the marks on your graph. - **Cats**: cut anchovy, chicken liver, or shrimp on the bottom on gentle flats just off the river channel. Couple of hot spots to circle on your map: - **Boulder Basin / Hemenway to Boulder Beach** – Good concentrations of shad and schoolie stripers. Troll the river channel edges, then stop and drop anchovies when you see solid marks stacked on the graph. - **Overton Arm near Echo Bay** – Less traffic, cooler water, and active stripers pushing bait onto points and submerged hump This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Out here we don’t worry about tides – Mead’s a reservoir – but we *do* watch wind, water level, and light. The Bureau of Reclamation and local marinas are still reporting low but fairly stable levels, so fish are pushed to breaks, channel edges, and any chunk rock that holds bait. Weather-wise, the Vegas valley forecast calls for cool mornings in the 40s–50s, afternoons in the 60s, with light north to northeast breeze and clear skies. Sunrise is right around 6:45 a.m., sunset about 4:30 p.m., giving you a tight low‑light window when the bite has been best. Stripers are the main story. According to recent Lake Mead Fishing Report Today updates on Spreaker, anglers are still picking up schoolie stripers in 20–60 feet around points and submerged humps, with a mix of 1–4 pound fish and the occasional 6–8 pounder. Boils are mostly done, so it’s a down‑rod and graph game now: watch for tight bait balls and “spaghetti” arches glued to the breaks. Largemouth and smallmouth are in classic winter haunts — steep 45‑degree banks, bluff walls, and ledges close to deep water. You’re not going to rack up summer numbers, but a 6–10 fish day with a couple in the 2–3 pound class is realistic if you slow down. Best lures right now: - For stripers: • White or pearl **umbrella rigs** with 3–4 inch swimbaits • 1–1.5 oz **spoons** and silver **blade baits** yo‑yoed off the bottom • Medium running **crankbaits** in shad or chrome early and late - For bass: • Green pumpkin or brown **finesse jigs** with small craw trailers • **Drop‑shot** with morning dawn or shad‑pattern worms • 3–4 inch **swimbaits** slow rolled along rock and ledges Best bait: - Live or frozen **anchovies** on a dropper loop for stripers, especially off points and in the old river channel. - Nightcrawlers or small minnows for kids’ action around marinas and rocky pockets. A couple of local hot spots to key on: - **Boulder Basin / Hemenway area**: Work the points and canyon mouths early, then slide deeper and vertical jig once the sun gets up. Good mix of stripers and smallmouth. - **Temple Bar and the Virgin Basin edges**: Long points and island tops dropping into the old river channel are holding winter stripers and some decent largemouth. Idle and graph until you see bait; don’t fish empty water. General pattern: start on wind‑blown rock with moving baits at first light, then back off to 30–60 feet and fish slow and vertical once the sun hits the walls. Light line, natural shad or craw colors, and patience are the difference between a long boat ride and a solid box of fish.

No tides here in this big ol' desert lake, but water levels are sittin' low at under 15 million acre-feet combined with Powell per Coyote Gulch reports, so mind those shallows. Sunrise was at 6:52 AM, sunset 4:30 PM—plenty of daylight to chase 'em. Fish activity's pickin' up in the cooler water; stripers are schoolin' heavy near the surface, smallmouth bass holdin' on rocky points, and largemouth pushin' into coves. Recent catches? Locals report limits of striped bass up to 20 pounds boated near Boulder Basin, decent smallies in the 2-4 pound range, plus crappie and catfish stackin' up. Willow Springs Marina says the obstacle course is closed till '26, but ramps are open. Best lures right now: drop-shot rigs with 4-inch plastic worms in green pumpkin for bass, or umbrella rigs with white grubs for stripers. Topwater poppers at dawn if they're boilin'. For bait, live shad or anchovies on a Carolina rig can't be beat—thread 'em deep and drift the points. Jigs bouncin' bottom for walleye too. Hit these hot spots: Simpson Bay for stripers crashin' bait balls, and Las Vegas Bay coves for bass huggin' structure. Launch early, stay safe on the water.

We don’t worry about tides out here in the desert, just water level and weather. According to the National Weather Service, we’re looking at cool, clear winter conditions around Mead today, light winds under 10 mph, highs in the 50s to low 60s and chilly nights in the 30s. Sunrise is right around 6:40 a.m., with sunset near 4:30 p.m., so your prime bites are that first hour of light and the last hour before dark. Lake Mead is low but stable, which has the fish pushed to edges, breaks, and any remaining structure with quick access to deep water. Nevada Department of Wildlife and local shop chatter say the **striped bass** bite has been steady but not on fire: a mix of schoolie fish in the 1–4 lb range with the occasional 8–12 lb slug coming from deeper water on bait. Best bite windows for stripers have been mid‑morning when the light gets up enough to push shad, and again right before sunset. Anglers soaking **cut anchovies** or sardines on dropper rigs are still putting the most meat in the cooler. If you like to throw hardware, slow‑rolled **1–1½ oz white or pearl swimbaits**, silver Kastmasters, and small umbrella rigs with shad‑style plastics have been drawing hits when you mark bait balls on your graph. **Largemouth and smallmouth bass** are in that classic winter funk but still very catchable if you slow down. Local reports point to fish holding in 20–40 feet off rocky points and along old ledges. Best producers have been **green pumpkin or brown football jigs**, 3–4" dropshot worms in natural shad or smoke, and small finesse swimbaits crawled painfully slow along the bottom. Think rocks, chunk bank, and any bit of wood you can still find in the water. A few folks picking at **stripers and the odd catfish** at night around marinas with submersible lights and cut bait. If you’re out after dark, dress warm and watch that wind; it can come up quick out of nowhere on Mead. A couple of local hot spots to keep in mind: - **Boulder Harbor / Hemenway area** – Consistent winter striper action, especially for bait anglers. Work the edges of the old river channel and look for birds dipping. - **Government Wash** – Good bank and boat access. Schoolie stripers cruising breaks and the occasional smallmouth off the rocky points. Early and late with a white swimbait or spoon can be money. If you’re shore‑bound, bring a couple rods: one soaking anchovies on a slider for stripers, and another to fan‑cast a spoon or swimbait. Boat anglers should watch the graph and don’t be afraid to move until you mark bait and arches stacked 20–60 feet down. That’s the Lake Mead rundown from Artificial Lure.

No tides to worry about here on the desert reservoir, but water levels are still low and creeping down again after that brief bump from fall rains, according to Colorado River managers. Mornings are cool and crisp, warming fast by midday with light winds; plan on layers and expect clear, bright skies to push fish deeper once the sun gets up. Sunrise is right around 6:40 a.m. with sunset near 4:30 p.m., so the bite window is tight. The best activity has been first light to about 9 a.m., then again the last hour of daylight when the shadows stretch and the lake calms. Striper fishing has stayed steady, not wild, with most boats reporting a half‑dozen to a dozen schoolies, plus the odd fish in the 5–8 pound class. Anglers working deeper water near the river channel and main-lake points have been doing best. Largemouth and smallmouth are a bit sluggish but still chewing if you slow down and stay in contact with the rocks. Best producers for **stripers**: - 1/2– to 1‑ounce white or chrome jigging spoons worked vertically over 40–80 feet. - Pearl or shad-color soft plastics on 1/2‑ounce jig heads, dropped to marks on the graph. - Casting 4–5 inch swimbaits in shad patterns when you see birds or surface boils. For **bass**, think subtle: - Green pumpkin or brown football jigs in 20–35 feet on rocky structure. - Drop-shot worms in natural shad or watermelon, fished painfully slow. - Medium-diving crankbaits in craw or ghost shad when the wind kicks up a little chop. Bait guys are still putting fish in the box with frozen anchovies on a dropper loop for stripers. Use light fluorocarbon leaders if the lake lays flat and clear. Night fishing around lighted marinas with anchovies or small shad-imitation plastics can be sneaky good when boat traffic dies. Couple of local hot spots to check: - **Hemenway / Boulder Basin**: Good for schoolie stripers early, plus a mix of largemouth along the rocky breaks and marina edges. - **The Narrows up toward the Virgin Basin**: Work the channel drops and points for better‑grade stripers and smallmouth; watch your electronics and stay on those bait balls. With reservoir storage back near crisis-era lows again, clear water and spooky fish are the rule. Long casts, lighter line, and natural colors will get you more bites than power fishing right now.

If you’re headin’ out today, bundle up – it’s chilly on the water, especially early. Sunrise is around 6:45 AM and sunset’s just after 4:30 PM, so you’ve got a short window to make the most of the light. The weather’s been cold but mostly clear, with light winds out of the north. No big storms rollin’ in, so conditions should stay fishable. Lake Mead’s water temps are hoverin’ in the low 50s, which means stripers and bass are slowin’ down but still feedin’ – just not as aggressive as they were in fall. Tides aren’t a big factor here since we’re landlocked, but water levels are still low. The lake’s way below full pool, so a lot of the old spots are now way out in the open. That said, the recent rains and runoff in the Colorado River Basin have helped stabilize storage in Lake Powell and Mead, so we’re not dropping as fast as we were last year. Stripers are the name of the game right now. Anglers are catchin’ decent numbers of slot-sized fish, mostly in the 18- to 24-inch range, with a few bigger ones mixed in. Most are suspended in deeper water, 40 to 70 feet down, especially near drop-offs and points. Smallmouth and largemouth bass are still active too, but they’re huggin’ deeper structure and brush piles, not up shallow like they were in summer. Best bite’s been early and late – first hour after sunrise and the last hour before dark. Midday’s tougher, but if you find a school, they’ll stay on the bite for a while. For stripers, live shad is still the gold standard if you can get it. If not, big swimbaits and umbrella rigs are workin’ well on the downlines. Deep-divin’ crankbaits in shad patterns are producin’ too, especially along the main lake points and near the old river channels. Bass are respondin’ to finesse stuff – shaky heads, drop shots, and small jigs around rock piles and submerged trees. Slow-rollin’ a white or chartreuse spinnerbait along the edges can also trigger a reaction bite. Two hot spots to try: First, the Overton Arm, especially around the old railroad trestle and the deeper flats near the mouth. That’s where a lot of the shad are stackin’ up, and stripers are right behind them. Second, the Boulder Basin side near the dam – fish the ledges and points in 50 to 70 feet, and don’t be afraid to go deep with downlines and heavy jigs. If you’re on the water, keep an eye on your electronics. Find the bait, and you’ll find the fish. And remember, it’s cold – dress for it and stay safe.

This is Artificial Lure, and I’m here to give you the straight scoop on Lake Mead this morning. If you’re thinking about getting out there today, you’re gonna want to hear this. First things first, weather’s looking pretty decent for a December day. We’re sitting in the low 50s right now, headed up into the upper 50s to low 60s by afternoon. Light winds out of the north, nothing that’s gonna blow you off the water. Sky’s partly cloudy, so don’t expect full sun, but it’s not a gloomy mess either. Sunrise was just before 7 this morning, and sunset’s coming around 4:45, so you’ve got a solid daylight window if you’re planning a full day. Now, the water’s cold. We’re talking upper 50s to low 60s depending on where you are and how deep you’re fishing. That means the fish are slowing down and dropping deeper. Stripers and smallmouth bass are the main game right now, and they’re adjusting their depths as the early winter pattern sets in. Stripers are still active, but they’re not up in the shallows like they were in fall. You’re gonna find them suspended or near structure in 25 to 45 feet of water. Recent reports say anglers are catching decent numbers of stripers in the 3- to 8-pound range, mostly on the main lake side near the old river channels and drop-offs. Smallmouth are holding tight to rock piles, points, and ledges, especially where there’s some current or a little bit of wind chop. Best bite windows today are going to be early morning and late afternoon, right around those solunar periods. The moon’s in a decent phase for fishing, so don’t sleep on that late afternoon bite. For lures, crankbaits are still producing, especially deep-diving models in shad patterns. If you’re targeting stripers, try big swimbaits or umbrella rigs around the deeper humps and points. Smallmouth are responding well to finesse stuff right now — drop shot rigs, small jigs, and Ned rigs in green pumpkin or brown craw colors. Don’t be afraid to slow it down; these fish are cold and not chasing hard. Live bait is still king for stripers. Threadfin shad are working great, especially when you’re anchoring up or slow trolling along the drop-offs. For smallmouth, small live shiners or even nightcrawlers on a drop shot or split shot rig will get you bit. Two hot spots to consider today: First, the Overton Arm area, especially around the old river channel and the deeper points near the mouth. That’s been a consistent striper producer lately. Second, the Boulder Basin side, around the rock piles and points near the main lake. That’s where a lot of the smallmouth are staging, and you can often catch both species in the same area. Get your gear ready before you leave the dock, and don’t forget a warm layer — it’s cold out there in the morning. Thanks for tuning in.

Lake Mead is sitting low but stable, and that’s kept the bite pretty predictable for early December. Mornings start off chilly and calm, with light winds and clear skies, then pick up breeze and a little chop in the afternoon. Figure sunrise around the mid‑6 o’clock hour and sunset late in the 4 o’clock range, so your prime windows are first light until the sun gets up over the basin and then that last 90 minutes of daylight when the shadows run long against the canyon walls. No real tide out here in the desert, but water level changes from dam operations can nudge fish shallower or deeper over the day, so pay attention to new bathtub rings on the rocks and fresh weed lines. When the lake is dropping, fish pull off the bank to the first break; when it’s steady, they’ll nose up to chunk rock and points and graze on shad right against the edge. Striper action has been the headline lately, with schoolie fish running from about 2 to 6 pounds and some bigger ones mixed in for the early risers. The most consistent pattern has been chasing birds and graphing bait balls in 40 to 80 feet, then dropping spoons or small swimbaits right through the marks. Anglers working deeper flats are putting good numbers in the boat by vertical‑jigging slab spoons and heavy blade baits once the sun gets higher. Largemouth and smallmouth are more of a grind but worth it if you slow down and fish methodically. You’re looking at fewer bites, but many of them are solid keepers, especially around steeper rocky structure and submerged points. Think classic winter spots: transitions from chunk rock to gravel, the edges of old river channels, and any wood that still has some depth under it. Best producers on the artificial side have been: - 3 to 4 inch shad‑style swimbaits on 1/4 to 1/2 oz heads, slow‑rolling through suspended fish. - Silver and white jigging spoons, worked with short, sharp hops just off the bottom or through schools. - Medium diving crankbaits and jerkbaits in ghost shad or craw colors for bass along rocky points and ledges. - Football jigs with green pumpkin trailers crawled painfully slow on the bottom for smallmouth. For bait, it’s hard to beat: - Cut anchovies or sardines on dropper loops for stripers, especially near the dam and main‑lake basins. - Live shad when you can net them at first light, fished on downlines or free‑lined around boils and steep breaks. - Nightcrawlers or small pieces of shrimp on light line for a mixed bag of catfish and the occasional bonus bass. A couple of local hot spots to circle on the map: down by Hoover Dam and the Boulder Basin has been a striper factory, especially around the deeper humps and the intake tower area when the current is moving. Up‑lake, the Overton Arm and the points around Temple Bar have been steady for both stripers and smallmouth when the wind stacks bait on the windward side.

Think classic winter spots: transitions from chunk rock to gravel, the edges of old river channels, and any wood that still has some depth under it. Best producers on the artificial side have been: - 3 to 4 inch shad‑style swimbaits on 1/4 to 1/2 oz heads, slow‑rolling through suspended fish. - Silver and white jigging spoons, worked with short, sharp hops just off the bottom or through schools. - Medium diving crankbaits and jerkbaits in ghost shad or craw colors for bass along rocky points and ledges. - Football jigs with green pumpkin trailers crawled painfully slow on the bottom for smallmouth. For bait, it’s hard to beat: - Cut anchovies or sardines on dropper loops for stripers, especially near the dam and main‑lake basins. - Live shad when you can net them at first light, fished on downlines or free‑lined around boils and steep breaks. - Nightcrawlers or small pieces of shrimp on light line for a mixed bag of catfish and the occasional bonus bass. A couple of local hot spots to circle on the map: down by Hoover Dam and the Boulder Basin has been a striper factory, especially around the deeper humps and the intake tower area when the current is moving. Up‑lake, the Overton Arm and the points around Temple Bar have been steady for both stripers and smallmouth when the wind stacks bait on the windward side.

This is Artificial Lure coming at you with your Lake Mead fishing report for Thursday, December 4th, 2025. Let's jump right into what's happening out here on the water. Lake Mead is absolutely firing right now, and here's why you need to pay attention. As of January 1st, Nevada's making a major move—they're removing the 20-fish daily limit on striped bass over 20 inches. That means unlimited striped bass if you've got the skills to back it up. This regulation change is huge because the research shows striped bass populations won't take a hit since their growth depends way more on food availability than harvest rates. Right now in early December, conditions are dialed in. Water temperatures are dropping, and that means your striped bass are positioning themselves to feed actively. Live bait and sassy shad are your bread and butter here at Lake Mead. The action's picking up as water temps cool off and these fish start feeding more frequently. You'll want to focus on main lake points and deep structure—think 20 to 25 feet of water. Keep your eyes peeled for surfacing fish throughout the day, especially along deeper river channels where the big ones like to hunt. For lures, blade baits are supposedly dominating right now for lethargic fish, and spinnerbaits are producing seriously. Don't overlook swimbaits and slabs either—they're still pulling in quality stripers and whites. Punch bait and whole gizzard shad work fantastic for catfish in the backs of ditches and on flats in 18 to 30 feet of water. Your hot spots? Lake Mead's entire system is prime, but focus on areas with good structure and depth transitions. Also check out Lake Mohave nearby—same unlimited striped bass opportunity starting January 1st. December's an incredible time to be out here, folks. Thanks so much for tuning in and don't forget to subscribe for more insider intel.

We're heading into early December, and let me tell you, conditions are shifting out here on the lake. **Weather and Water Conditions** Winter's knocking on the door, and we're dealing with some typical early winter patterns. The lake's cooling down as we move deeper into December, and that's changing fish behavior. Water temps have been dropping, which means the stripers and bass are adjusting their depth zones. Expect some fog rolling in during early mornings—pretty typical this time of year—so get out there early before the lake gets socked in. **Fish Activity and Recent Catches** The stripers have been incredibly active lately. We've seen some real bruisers pulled from these waters recently, including a monster 42-pound Delta striper that was boated just last week. That tells you the trophy potential is definitely here. The fishing's been solid with productive windows throughout the day, especially as we move into midday and afternoon hours. Crankbaits have been producing excellent results on the stripers, particularly the deep-diving 6XD-style plugs in shad and craw patterns. These baits are reaching depths of 22 to 24 feet where the stripers are staging. Live minnows paired with light braid-to-fluorocarbon setups have also been working great for suspended fish roaming offshore. **Best Techniques and Baits** For bait options, live herring, mackerel, anchovies, and shad are your go-to choices. Stripers are picky predators, so having fresh live bait makes a real difference. If you're throwing lures, focus on your crankbaits and soft plastics along channel edges. Finesse techniques have been producing too—don't overlook lighter presentations when conditions call for it. Use 7-foot medium-heavy rods spooled with 20 to 30-pound test. The lake's also holding halibut and the occasional catfish, so you might hook into other species while targeting stripers. **Hot Spots** Focus your efforts around the deeper structure areas where bait is concentrated but not stacked too heavy. The west side of the lake has been showing consistent results with good water movement and clean edges. Hit those channel breaks and depth transitions where the stripers are ambushing bait.

Let me break down what you need to know to make today count on the water. **Conditions Today** Lake Mead is sitting at 31% capacity right now, holding steady from last month. We're looking at cool desert conditions this December, which means winter fishing is officially in swing. Sunrise hits around the typical early morning window, and you'll want to be off the water well before sunset. The desert days are short this time of year, so get out there early. **Fish Activity & Recent Catches** Here's the good news—stripers and largemouth bass are actively feeding in December. Lake Mead and Lake Mohave are heating up right now. We've been seeing solid action, especially in the deeper channels and around the coves. Rainbow trout are also in the mix. Don't sleep on the Echo Bay area up on the Overton Arm—that's been producing some consistent action lately. **Best Lures & Bait** For this time of year, I'm throwing artificial lures that mimic natural forage. Swimbaits work excellent when the water temps drop like this. Crankbaits and jigs are money in winter conditions. If you're going traditional, live baitfish will always put fish in the boat. The bite times favor early morning and late afternoon—that's when the major feeding windows open up. **Hot Spots** Lake Mead Marina area is always solid. For something different, try Las Vegas Bay where the shallow water and clear conditions make for good sight-fishing during twilight. The points on either side of beaches often hold structure where bass bunch up in winter. **Water Supply Note** Keep in mind Lake Mead sits two feet lower than last year. That changes some shallow water access, so adjust your spots accordingly. Thanks for tuning in to the report today, folks. Make sure you subscribe so you don't miss tomorrow's update.

The afternoon should be a bit warmer than the morning hours, so if you're heading out, plan to fish that afternoon window when things warm up just a touch. That slight temperature bump can make all the difference in getting bites. **Fish Activity & Recent Catches** Stripers and bass are both active right now at Mead. The key thing to remember is that winter fishing requires patience and timing. The fish are bunched up in deeper, tight groups, so once you locate them, you'll have a solid bite. Don't get discouraged if you only catch one or two – sometimes they stop just as quick as they started. When that happens, move to a fresh spot and come back later. **Best Baits & Lures** For stripers, live minnows are producing well. On the artificial side, crankbaits and lipless crankbaits are your bread and butter. Look for clear iridescent shad patterns. If the bite gets tough, drop down to finesse rigs like drop-shots. A tighter wobble works better in this cold water, so your crankbait selection matters. **Hot Spots** Focus on deeper structure in the 20 to 35-foot range near rocky cover and any remaining wood. Sloping points are excellent this time of year – fish like to cruise these areas. Get on banks that get decent sun exposure; even a couple degrees of warmth makes a huge difference.

We're heading into the final stretch of fall, and conditions on the lake are shaping up to be pretty solid for anglers willing to get out there. Let's talk about what's happening on the water. Lake Mead is sitting at about 32% capacity—yeah, she's running lean, but don't let that discourage you. The water levels mean you need to pay attention to your GPS and recent reports from locals, but there's still plenty of fish to catch. Weather-wise, we're looking at typical late November conditions. Mornings are chilly, but the sun's climbing higher by midday. We've got sunrise coming at around 6:50 AM and sunset won't hit until about 4:50 PM, so you've got a solid window to work with. No major wind is expected, which means calmer water and better sight-casting opportunities if you're into that. Now for the bite—this is where it gets interesting. While specific recent counts for Lake Mead today are limited in my reports, we're in the sweet spot for largemouth and striped bass activity. The cooling water temperatures are pushing fish to move and feed more aggressively. Trophy trout fishing has been heating up through the fall season, and that momentum carries into late November. Water temperature is dropping, which triggers feeding behavior across the board. Here's what I'd recommend throwing: For stripers and bass, grab your moving baits. Chartreuse hair jigs and swimbaits in white, shad, and rootbeer patterns are money right now. If you're throwing hard baits, squarebills in rootbeer or motor oil colors will pull strikes even in this cold water. Don't sleep on reaction baits—plenty of fish will still crush a fast-moving lure even when the water dips into the 40s. For bait, live shiners and anchovies are your go-to if you prefer that approach. Cut bait works too, especially around deeper structure where the big stripers hang out. Hot spots I'd focus on: Boulder Basin still holds good populations of stripers and largemouths around the deeper channels and rocky structure. Virgin Basin tends to concentrate fish around the deeper drop-offs this time of year. Keep an eye on any visible bait schools—birds will help you find them, and bass will be there feeding. Remember, with the lake at these levels, stick to the main channels and be cautious of shallow areas. Use your electronics and recent local reports to navigate.

We're heading into the tail end of November, and let me tell you, conditions are shaping up nicely for some solid action out on the water. **Weather and Light** We're looking at clear skies today with excellent visibility at 23 percent moonlight. Sunrise hit around mid-morning and we've got a solid day of fishing ahead before sunset this evening. The waxing crescent moon is working in our favor, and we're in that sweet spot where the fish should be feeding consistently throughout the day. **Bite Times** Here's what you need to know about today's bite windows. Your major bite time is firing from 3:10 AM through 5:10 AM – if you're an early riser, that's your window. Then we've got another major push from 3:34 PM through 5:34 PM this afternoon. In between, watch for minor activity around 10:58 AM to 12:58 PM and again from 8:10 PM to 10:10 PM if you're planning an evening session. **Fish Activity** Late fall at Lake Mead is prime time for stripers and smallmouth bass. The baitfish are pushed to the surface right now, and you'll want to keep your eyes peeled for boiling schools of shad. When you spot those disturbances, that's your signal – schooling stripers and smallmouth are absolutely crushing topwater presentations in those feeding zones. **What's Working** For lures, topwater plugs are your bread and butter right now. Get yourself some surface action going, especially around those shad schools. If topwater isn't producing, drop down to subsurface swimbaits that mimic the baitfish activity we're seeing. Live bait is always solid – fresh shad will get bit without question. **Hot Spots** I'd point you toward Las Vegas Bay, about 27 kilometers from the main marina – it's got some excellent structure and depth changes that concentrate fish this time of year. Lake Mead Marina area itself is worth checking out. The harbors and marinas create sheltered environments that attract a wide variety of baitfish, which naturally brings in the predators you're after.

Water conditions are holding steady at about 32% capacity across the system as of late November. We're seeing decent activity around the major reservoir areas, particularly near the marinas at Hemenway Harbor and Cottonwood Cove where anglers have been putting in solid work lately. For today's conditions, we're looking at typical late November weather—crisp desert mornings warming into the afternoon. You'll want to get out early, so aim for sunrise around 6:45 AM with sunset coming in around 4:45 PM. That gives you a solid window to work the shallow structure before the sun climbs too high. The bite's been picking up with stripers and largemouths responding well to natural presentations. For bait, live shad and crawfish are your go-to options right now. If you're working artificials, medium-sized swimbaits in natural colors—whites, silvers, and blacks—are producing consistently. Crankbaits in the shallower coves are also worth throwing, particularly around Katherine Landing which has been a solid hub for both boating and fishing on Lake Mohave. Lake Mead doesn't have traditional tidal patterns, but water release schedules from Hoover Dam do create flow changes throughout the day that affect fish movement. The afternoon releases typically see increased activity. For hotspots today, work the Historic Railroad Trail area near Boulder City where you'll find deeper structure and decent current breaks. The Bowl of Fire on the western reaches is another solid option—it's more scenic than productive, but the volcanic rock formations hold fish, and the short access makes it worth the effort.

The afternoon releases typically see increased activity. For hotspots today, work the Historic Railroad Trail area near Boulder City where you'll find deeper structure and decent current breaks. The Bowl of Fire on the western reaches is another solid option—it's more scenic than productive, but the volcanic rock formations hold fish, and the short access makes it worth the effort.

We're heading into late fall, and conditions are shaping up nicely for stripers, bass, and trout on the lake. Water levels continue to stabilize, which means the structure's holding solid. We've been seeing consistent action on stripers and largemouth bass despite the cooler temps. The bite's been strong across multiple species, so there's plenty of opportunity out there. **Best Techniques & Species** Stripers are your money fish right now. Work deep-diving crankbaits in shad and craw patterns down 20 to 25 feet, similar to what we're seeing produce over at Clear Lake. Pair those with fluorocarbon line to maintain your depth and sensitivity. If the crankbait bite slows, switch to live minnow presentations on light braid-to-fluorocarbon setups. The stripers are roaming, so forward-facing sonar will help you locate them quick. For largemouth bass, don't sleep on jerkbaits and light line finesse techniques. Dropshot rigs with soft plastics work when the bite tightens up. Adjust your weights and fall rates based on how aggressive the fish are feeling. **Hot Spots** Boulder Harbor and Temple Bar remain consistent producers. Structure around the old riverbed channels holds quality fish throughout the day. Virgin Basin's been solid too for mixed action on stripers and bass. Thanks for tuning in.

We've got some decent conditions shaping up this morning as we head into the latter part of November. **Current Conditions & Activity** We're looking at fall conditions here at the lake, and bass activity remains solid across multiple zones. Recent tournaments have shown a good variety of successful techniques, with anglers using both traditional live bait approaches and modern lure presentations. The Lower Colorado-Lake Mead basin is currently running at about 127% of normal snow-water equivalent, so water levels are holding steady and fishing pressure should be moderate this time of year. **What's Working** For lures, you'll want to focus on your typical fall selections—soft plastics, topwater presentations during early morning hours, and crankbaits are all seeing solid success. We've seen positive results with Z-Man lures and other quality soft plastics throughout the region. If you're going the live bait route, keep your standards handy. Kayak anglers especially have been finding success using lure selection strategies that account for the changing fall conditions on the lake. **Hot Spots to Target** I'd recommend working the deeper structure zones where the temperature drops are creating good feeding windows. The northern sections near the original river channel tend to concentrate fish this time of year, and the secondary coves along the main lake body are holding solid populations. **Final Thoughts** The lake is fishing well right now, folks. Get out there early, stay patient, and adjust your presentations based on what you're seeing. Thanks for tuning in! Make sure you subscribe for more Lake Mead insights and fishing reports.

Sunrise was around 6:30 this morning, with sunset due at 4:28 this afternoon, giving you a decent window for getting those lines wet before the days grow much shorter. Weather’s crisp and clear—mornings have been cool, hovering just under 50 at dawn but warming up quickly into the mid-60s by midday. Little to no wind expected, so it’s prime for both shore and boat anglers. Lake levels are holding steady for this time of year, and with these calm November conditions, the fish have been active right through the daylight hours. No tidal action here, so you can focus on wind and sun position to plan your spots rather than chasing moving tides. Local podcasts like Lake Mead, Nevada Fishing Report Today and updates from Spreaker have anglers buzzing about an exceptional run on **striped bass**—plenty of limits coming in around Boulder Basin and the sheer walls just north of Hemenway. Most of these stripers are schoolies, running 1 to 3 pounds, but a couple of 6-pounders hit the docks from deeper water by Dropoff Point yesterday. Trolling deep-diving crankbaits and using live shad have been accounting for the bulk of catches. Early risers are scoring stripers up shallow on pencil poppers or Zara Spooks before the sun gets up, then switching to silver spoons or Kastmasters as the schools go deeper mid-morning. **Smallmouth bass** are another story—hot and hungry right now. Folks working the rocky points near Callville Bay and the coves up by Echo have reported multiple double hookups just working craw-traps or ned rigs slow and close to the rocks. Best luck’s happening in 10-25 feet, but if you find a sun-warmed boulder field, throw a green pumpkin tube or a drop shot with a 4-inch shad imitation. Some largemouth mixed in, but the real show is the hard-charging smallmouth—several pushing 3 pounds caught this week. **Catfish bite** has been strong after dark and early in the morning around Government Wash—cut sardines or chicken livers are all you need for channel cats, and locals bringing in fish in the 5- to 8-pound class from the deeper holes close to submerged timber. **Best baits and lures:** - For stripers: live shad, deep-diving shad-imitating crankbaits, silver spoons, and topwater in low light. - For smallmouth: root beer and green pumpkin tubes, ned rigs, drop shot rigs with shad or goby plastics. - For catfish: cut baits like mackerel, sardines, or chicken liver. **Hot spots:** - Boulder Basin for stripers—troll contour lines from 40 to 60 feet, especially just off the points. - Callville Bay rocky points, particularly at first light, for smallmouth action on plastics. - Government Wash after dark for catfish, near where the creek feeds in. If you’re new to the area, don’t forget that Lake Mead is notorious for sudden wind gusts and hidden drop-offs.

The sun’s just peekin’ over the mountains, and we’re lookin’ at a crisp 48 degrees this morning, headin’ up to a high of 67 by afternoon. Sunrise was at 6:42 AM, and sunset’s comin’ in at 4:52 PM, so you’ve got a solid window to get out there. Winds are light, mostly from the west at 5-10 mph, and the water’s calm—perfect for floatin’ or shore fishing. Lake Mead’s water levels are steady, but there’s no tidal action to speak of out here in the desert. The fish are feedin’ steady, especially as the temps drop a bit overnight. Anglers at Willow Beach, just downriver, are still pullin’ in some nice stripers and smallmouth bass. Last week, they had a few stripers over 10 pounds, and the smallmouth are runnin’ 2-4 pounds, with some real bruisers mixed in. The striper bite’s been best early and late, right around dawn and dusk, when they’re chasin’ shad near the surface. For bait, live shad’s always a winner, but if you’re goin’ artificial, try a 3-inch white or silver swimbait, or a 1/2-ounce white or chartreuse jig. For smallmouth, a 3/8-ounce green pumpkin or brown tube jig with a curly tail works great, especially around rocky points and drop-offs. If you’re after catfish, cut bait or stink bait’s your best bet—try anchovies or chicken liver, and fish it near the bottom in deeper holes. Hot spots? Willow Beach is still hot, especially the main channel and the points near the old bootlegger tunnels. The coves around Callville Bay are also producin’ some nice stripers, and the rocky ledges near Temple Bar are holdin’ smallmouth. If you’re floatin’, try the stretch between Boulder Beach and the Hoover Dam—there’s always action when the shad are runnin’.

It’s a cool, crisp late fall morning on the desert reservoir—sunrise came at 6:22 AM, with sunset due at 4:35 PM—leaving us with shorter days and some hungry fish starting to school up. Weatherwise, thanks to recent November rain and a bout of warmer temps across southern Nevada, the lake level is up slightly, a change from the steady drops we’ve seen. Expect today’s high near the mid-60s, with a light breeze from the southwest. With no tides on Lake Mead—it’s a freshwater reservoir, after all—pay attention to winds and water temps: they’re hovering in the upper 50s to low 60s right now, putting fish in a transitional mood. Striped bass are still headlining, and anglers are finding good numbers along the Boulder Basin, specifically between Hemenway Harbor and the mouths of Las Vegas and Callville Bays. Jigging with silver spoons and casting swimbaits in shad colors are drawing the most aggressive fish. Those chasing boils at first light are cashing in, though the frenzy dies off fast after the sun gets up. Reports coming into local tackle shops—like Bass Pro and Angler’s Edge—say several boats limited out this week with stripers averaging 2 to 4 pounds, and at least three fish pushing the double digits. Live shad—even dead-stick presentations—are the top bait when you can net ‘em, but cut anchovy is catching steady numbers too when live bait is scarce. Black bass action—both largemouth and smallmouth—is solid if you work structure and go finesse. With cooling water, try Ned rigs, 3" tubes in green pumpkin, or slowly dragged drop-shots with Roboworms. The deeper rocky points outside Echo Bay and Temple Bar have produced smallies up to 3 pounds. Largemouth are a bit less consistent, but the brushy coves back in Overton Arm are still holding decent fish on Texas-rigged plastics and slowly worked spinnerbaits. Catfish are surprisingly active for this time of year. Night anglers on submerged flats near Stewart’s Point and Government Wash report picking up channels with chicken livers and cut baits. Most are slot-sized, but a few bruisers pushing 10 pounds hit the cleaning stations earlier this week, especially on warm evenings. On the crappie front, it’s a pick bite, but fishing vertical around submerged brush in deeper pockets up the Overton Arm or Gregg Basin with live minnows or white jigs has put a few slabs on stringers. Best bite windows today are right at dawn for stripers, and mid-afternoon for bass as the sun warms the rocks. Water clarity is good, running 12-15 feet. The shad are balling up thick, so match your lures accordingly—anything in shad or chrome patterns is money right now. Hot spots to hit: • Hemenway Harbor—Troll early for stripers, watch for birds on bait. • Echo Bay—Finesse smallmouth off the rocky ledges. • Government Wash—Reliable for catfish and the odd walleye at dusk. • Temple Bar—Largemouth in the submerged brush and This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We’re coming off a brisk desert night; temps at dawn started in the mid-40s, expected to rise to about 67 degrees by late afternoon. Skies are mostly clear, with light breezes starting out of the northeast. According to Weather Underground, sunrise hit at 6:17 AM and we’re looking at sunset around 4:36 PM, so you’ve got solid daylight for your run-and-gun striper search. No tides on the freshwater, but water level is noticeably low—Coyote Gulch notes lake conditions are “beyond awful” as far as reservoir capacity, but that’s only pushed the bait and fish tighter to the remaining structure and drop-offs. Striper action is staying strong, as reported by the Lake Mead Nevada Fishing Report Today podcast. Early birds using topwater poppers and swimbaits landed several healthy stripers along Boulder Beach first light. Cast parallel to rocky shores and around shad schools—the key is to mimic the smaller bait. Anglers checked in with handfuls of stripers in the 2-4 pound range, with one solid 9-pounder caught near Government Wash on a white paddle-tail. Daylight hours have seen a nice uptick in smallmouth bass feeding—the kind of window we look forward to every fall. Pods of smallies are schooling up, especially off points near Echo Bay and around the old relics in Callville Bay. Ned rigs in green pumpkin and smoke, along with shad-imitating jerkbaits, brought over a dozen smallmouth to the boat this week, and a couple even nudged the 3-lb mark. Night-slingers have been quietly connecting with chunky channel cats in coves east of Hemenway. Cut anchovies and stink baits on Carolina rigs are the ticket after dark—one group checked in with a stringer of cats, biggest going a little over 7 pounds. If you’re after a mixed bag, anglers deploying live shad or using the Mystery Tackle Box Bass Pro Fishing Kit from North 40 Outfitters have reported steady action and noted the kits include 5-6 hard baits and plastics perfect for cycling bites throughout the day. Best lures right now: - White or chrome topwater poppers (stripers at dawn) - Paddle-tail swimbaits in shad colors - Deep-diving crankbaits in natural patterns - Ned rigs and drop shot for smallmouth (green pumpkin, baby bass) - Cut anchovies or chicken liver for catfish Hot spots: - Boulder Beach for stripers—work those points at first light - Echo Bay for smallies, try the underwater structure north of the marina - Government Wash for a consistent mix—don't be afraid to hit those submerged humps - Hemenway Harbor coves after sunset for catfish Safety tip: Lake conditions are lower than normal, so those hidden rocks and sandbars are closer to the surface—take it slow, especially in the coves.

Weather’s starting out cool today, typical late fall in southern Nevada. We’ve got clear skies, with a light northwest breeze picking up by late morning. Temps are running from the low 50s at dawn and will push into the mid-60s by midday. Humidity’s pretty low, so bring some chapstick and layer up early. Sunrise hit at 6:22 AM and sunset will be at 4:36 PM—plenty of fishing daylight, but shadows are getting longer[Weather Channel]. For tidal info: Lake Mead ain’t tidal, since it’s a reservoir, but water levels are holding steady after summer’s drops. Launch ramps are open at Boulder Harbor and Hemenway, but keep an eye out for those rocky flats on the southern arms. The Coyote Gulch blog reported on Nov 9 that the lake’s level is stable by season norms, no closure alerts and access is solid for November 2025. The bite has definitely picked up with this week’s high pressure, especially for striped bass and largemouth. Early risers got the best action, with stripers stacking up near drop-offs and chasing shad. Jigs and jerkbaits in silver or white have been hot; locals at WesternBass.com report 2-5 pound stripers landed around Kingman Wash and the narrows this week, with occasional double-digit fish showing near the dam before noon. Best lures are deep-diving crankbaits—try the 6XD or similar in shad and craw patterns. Swimbaits are working, especially around roving striper schools mid-lake. Jerkbaits with natural shad color are also doing damage in open water drifts. If you’re after largemouth or smallmouth, finesse plastics on a dropshot or Carolina rig around submerged brush and structure have pulled in good numbers. Switch to soft jerk-shads when the sun gets high and fish slide deeper. Recent catches have been solid: locals have pulled 3-4 pound smallmouth off rocky points east of Stewarts Bay. Live shad and anchovies are still a favorite for the bait guys, especially for stripers. If you fish from shore, chunk bait off Boulder Beach or Echo Bay is dependable—just set your drag loose, those stripers run hard. Numbers are up this week: several boats reported a dozen or more stripers per outing, with some boats landing thirty-plus keepers over two days, most in the 2-5 lb range. Smallmouth and largemouth reports are also strong, mostly between 1-3 lbs, but there’s rumors of bigger ones coming up from deeper rock piles. Hot spots right now: - **Kingman Wash**: Stripers early and late; shore and boat. - **Stewarts Point**: Smallmouth action on tube jigs and Ned rigs; try 15-30 feet deep. - **Boulder Harbor (southern cove edges)**: Largemouth and some crappie stacking up around flooded brush. Fall foliage is sparing in the desert, but water clarity’s great and the shorelines are quiet, perfect for some peaceful casts. The best window for fish bites this week has been mid-morning to early afternoon, especially as the water warms.

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 08:33:03 -0000 full Inception Point AI Lake Mead anglers, this is Artificial Lure with your Wednesday, November 19, 2025, morning fishing report. Weather’s starting out cool today, typical late fall in southern Nevada. We’ve got clear skies, with a light northwest breeze picking up by late morning. Temps are running from the low 50s at dawn and will push into the mid-60s by midday. Humidity’s pretty low, so bring some chapstick and layer up early. Sunrise hit at 6:22 AM and sunset will be at 4:36 PM—plenty of fishing daylight, but shadows are getting longer[Weather Channel]. For tidal info: Lake Mead ain’t tidal, since it’s a reservoir, but water levels are holding steady after summer’s drops. Launch ramps are open at Boulder Harbor and Hemenway, but keep an eye out for those rocky flats on the southern arms. The Coyote Gulch blog reported on Nov 9 that the lake’s level is stable by season norms, no closure alerts and access is solid for November 2025. The bite has definitely picked up with this week’s high pressure, especially for striped bass and largemouth. Early risers got the best action, with stripers stacking up near drop-offs and chasing shad. Jigs and jerkbaits in silver or white have been hot; locals at WesternBass.com report 2-5 pound stripers landed around Kingman Wash and the narrows this week, with occasional double-digit fish showing near the dam before noon. Best lures are deep-diving crankbaits—try the 6XD or similar in shad and craw patterns. Swimbaits are working, especially around roving striper schools mid-lake. Jerkbaits with natural shad color are also doing damage in open water drifts. If you’re after largemouth or smallmouth, finesse plastics on a dropshot or Carolina rig around submerged brush and structure have pulled in good numbers.

We're looking at a solid day on the water here in November, and I've got some good intel to share with you locals. This morning we had our sunrise right around 6:13 AM, so if you're heading out early, you've still got plenty of daylight ahead. The stripers are biting strong right now as we head into late fall, and that's your money fish. Smallmouth bass are heating up too, which is fantastic news. If you're the patient type, catfish are absolutely going off after dark, so plan yourself an evening session if you can swing it. Here's what's working: for the stripers, throw some white swimbaits or blade baits along the deeper structure. The smallmouth are responding well to crankbaits and soft plastics in natural colors. For those catfish at night, fresh cut bait—mackerel or shad—is your ticket to success. I'd recommend focusing on the main basin areas where the water depth transitions quickly. The back coves are holding some quality fish right now, especially if you can find some rocky structure. Get out there early to mid-morning before the wind picks up. Make sure you've got all your gear before you leave the dock. Nothing worse than getting out there and realizing you forgot something important.

We’re counting on another classic late-fall desert morning—air temps at launch sitting in the upper 40s, climbing into the mid-60s by midafternoon, with winds staying just light enough to keep those late-season whitecaps at bay. Sky’s mostly clear, and you can expect that golden desert sunrise at 6:19 a.m., with sunset rolling in at 4:37 p.m. Lake Mead doesn’t experience true tides, but with river negotiations and long-term drought still impacting the Colorado, the lake level is lower than average. That’s pushed a lot of bait and gamefish off the flats and around the new edges and rock piles—makes for some solid fishing but also keep an eye out for snags and shallow runs. According to the Colorado River Las Vegas Fishing Report, stripers have been the main show. Surface temps are steady in the mid-50s, and the shad balls are super concentrated, drawing the predators in tight. Striper action has been hot, especially from dawn to about 10 a.m. and again just before sunset. Anglers are reporting limits by noon if they’re working the channel edges or main lake points—Boulder Basin down to Government Wash is giving up plenty of two- to four-pound fish, with a lucky few hooking up on big ones tipping seven pounds when they stay on moving schools and follow the diving birds. For bait, can’t beat chunked anchovy or cut shad tight-lined off rocky points or drifted in the boils. Prefer casting? White or chrome jigging spoons in the one- to two-ounce class dropped vertical into deep marks are dynamite, and don’t sleep on big topwater walkers like the Zara Spook or the Sammy 115 at first light along the bluffs—if you catch a school pushing shad to the top, it gets wild. Smallmouth and largemouth bass action is solid, too. Look for smallies on deep, rocky points near Temple Bar and Hemenway—those finesse baits like Ned rigs in green pumpkin or watermelon are money. Bigger largemouth are holding shallow just after sunrise in the brushy coves, hitting deep-diving crankbaits in shad or craw colors and soft plastic creature baits pitched to cover. A few decent three- to four-pounders have hit the deck this week, so patience pays. If you want something different, catfish are still poking around after dark—try chunk baits near Las Vegas Wash or shallow, sandy coves. There are rare reports of walleye caught slow-trolling nightcrawler rigs on gravel bars, so it might be worth a shot if you like to experiment. Hot spots for this week: - The humps and flats outside of Hemenway Harbor, where striper schools are feeding aggressively at first and last light. - The coves north of Echo Bay, especially along the windblown points, giving up mixed bags of smallmouth, largemouth, and the odd bonus striper. Safety heads-up: with dropping water levels, new hazards are popping up all over—watch those channel markers and be wary of submerged rock piles, especially if you’re runnin This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We’re waking up to crisp late-fall weather—temps at launch time in the upper 40s, hitting the low 60s by midday, with clear skies and light breezes making conditions excellent for both boaters and shore anglers. Sunrise hit at 6:24 a.m., and expect sunset around 4:34 p.m. The barometric pressure’s steady and the moon is a thin waxing crescent—perfect for a productive mid-November outing. Lake Mead doesn’t have much tidal fluctuation, but falling water levels have concentrated fish around structure and drop-offs. According to today’s Colorado River Las Vegas Fishing Report, stripers are running strong on cut bait, especially early in the channel edges and main lake points. Water clarity is high, surface temps are around the mid-50s, and shad are schooling thick, keeping gamefish hot on their heels. This week’s anglers have found the best action right at first light and the last hour before sunset. The striper bite is heavy from Boulder Basin to the narrows at Government Wash—numerous reports of boats limiting out by noon when they stick close to active shad schools. Most stripers landed have been running 2 to 4 pounds, though there’s talk of a few breaking the 7-pound mark if you’re willing to chase moving birds and stay mobile. Smallmouth and largemouth are active as well, holding on deep rocky points near Temple Bar and Hemenway—finesse tactics have been filling the creel. Ned rigs in green pumpkin and watermelon have been the go-to for smallmouth, while deep-diving crankbaits in shad or crawdad patterns are picking off bass around submerged brush piles and sharp ledges. Largemouths are mostly coming from shallow coves right after sunup, with a few decent 3- to 4-pounders caught on soft plastic creature baits. For those targeting stripers, cut anchovy and cut shad are unbeatable—tight-line them off points or drift them through boils for fast limits. If you’d rather cast lures, white or chrome jigging spoons (1-2 oz) are deadly when worked vertically over deep schools, and topwater walkers like Zara Spooks or Sammy 115s are drawing surface strikes at dawn near rock walls. Catfish are still an option after dark—try chunk baits near the mouth of Las Vegas Wash or shallow, sandy coves. Walleye showings are rare but possible if you fish gravel bars with slow-trolled nightcrawler rigs on bottom bouncers. Hot spots you don’t want to miss today: - The humps and flats outside of Hemenway Harbor for stripers early and again right before dusk. - The coves north of Echo Bay for mixed bags of bass and the occasional bonus striper, especially along windblown points. With the cooler water and dropping levels, safety is key—mind the new rock piles and stay aware of channel markers. The bite drops off in the afternoons, so stack your effort on the front and back end of daylight. Thanks for tuning in to your Lake Mead fall update.

Early risers were greeted by a cold desert dawn, with sunrise coming at 6:17 AM and sunset expected around 4:41 PM. Temperatures started brisk in the 40s and should warm up to the high 60s by afternoon—clear skies and light winds make for ideal casting, though expect a bit of chill on the water this morning. With the lake continuing its seasonal cooling, fish have been cruising noticeably closer to shore according to Nevada Fish Reports. Lake Mead’s levels remain historically low, but that hasn’t stopped the action. Reliable reports from local anglers and recent YouTube updates confirm that striper and largemouth bass bites are still holding strong, with more activity noted during dawn and dusk. Stripers have been schooling out near Hemenway Harbor and the mouth of Boulder Basin, with several boats reporting limits caught using live anchovies and artificial shad swimbaits. Largemouth are targeting rocky points and submerged brush near Echo Bay, responding best to slow-rolled spinnerbaits and Carolina-rigged soft plastics. Bassmaster lore still rings true—crankbaits and Carolina rigs are Lake Mead standbys, especially now while bass are off their summer haunts and pushing shallow, as reminisced by local legend Byron Velvick in his accounts of successful 1990s tournaments. The lake “flipped” last week, dispersing fish throughout the water column and making bank fishing a real option. Willow Beach is seeing continued consistent patterns, with trout getting stocked and a few chunky rainbows caught on yellow and orange PowerBait, especially around the cooler inlets. Nevada Fish Reports mentions the fish are especially active following these weather systems, so don’t be afraid to switch up presentations until you dial in what’s working. For those targeting catfish, cut baits and chicken liver are producing in the coves after sundown. September’s threadfin shad hatch was excellent, and predator fish are locked in on baitfish imitations. If you’re running crankbaits, stick with shad patterns. Paddle-tail plastics in white or chartreuse have been drawing the most strikes, especially in stained water near Government Wash. Recent catch reports say stripers are averaging 1-3 pounds with the occasional double-digit hanging out deeper, while largemouth are mostly hitting that 1-2 pound range—some bigger girls have been coming out early and late along rocky ledges. If you’re heading out, my top spots today are: - **Hemenway Harbor**: Consistent striper boils at first light. - **Echo Bay**: Largemouth and smallmouth mixed among the rocky points and submerged brush. - **Willow Beach**: Stocked rainbow trout, especially rewarding for families and newbies. - **Government Wash**: Good mixed-bag potential, especially for shore anglers. Bait shops around the lake are stocked with live anchovies, and tackle shops report crankbaits and soft plastics moving off the shelves.

The cool November air greeted anglers this morning under crystal-clear skies—temperatures started in the low 50s at first light, warming into the upper 60s by midday, with barely a whisper of wind, making for prime fishing conditions. According to local forecasts, you can expect sunrise right around 6:20 a.m. and sunset at 4:39 p.m., leaving a tight but productive fishing window. Tidal influence isn’t a factor on Lake Mead, being a desert reservoir, but water levels remain low due to ongoing drought and management drawdowns, so approach the shorelines and coves with caution—shallows change fast this time of year. Despite these low levels, reports from Nevada Fish Reports say fishing has been “fair to good,” with fish feeding actively as the water continues to cool. Let’s talk action. The striped bass bite is the main event—stripers have moved in closer to the marina lights and are cruising shallow rock points early and late in the day. The best recent action is coming on trolled swimbaits and live shad, with most stripers running 2 to 5 pounds but a few double-digit fish reported, especially after dark near Boulder Beach and the Hemenway launch. Boaters drifting anchovies or jigging spoons off deep main-lake points are getting steady strikes, especially just after sunrise and as the shadows stretch late in the afternoon. Smallmouth bass have been heating up across the rocky points and submerged brush—YouTube angler reports and guides agree that a light breeze and a jerkbait or Ned rig will get the job done. The best colors have been natural shad, green pumpkin, and smoke with silver flake. Focus on drop-offs near Government Wash and the mouth of Las Vegas Bay. The finesse bite with drop-shot rigs and small plastics is also pulling plenty of numbers out of 15–25 feet. Catfish are thick after dark; still plenty of channels and a few big blue cats taking cut baits, chicken livers, and shrimp around the backs of coves and especially below the Hoover Dam outflow. Locals suggest soaking your baits in scent and dropping them deep—some anglers are hauling in cats over 10 pounds. And don’t overlook crappie—they’re starting to school tight over submerged brush in Echo Bay and Overton Arm for anglers working small jigs or live minnows under floats. Hot spots worth your time right now: - Boulder Basin: stripers early on the troll or with topwater walkers right at dawn. - Government Wash: mixed bag of smallies and largemouth hugging the rocky shelves, especially mid-morning once the sun hits the rocks. - Echo Bay: best for those after crappie and the occasional bonus walleye on live minnows. Best lures and bait this week: - For stripers: white or chrome Rat-L-Traps, bucktail jigs with chartreuse trailer, trolled umbrella rigs, and chunked anchovy. - For bass: suspending jerkbaits in natural patterns, Ned rigs, small swimbaits, and dropshots fished slow between t This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We woke up to crystal clear skies and mild temps after yesterday’s cold snap. It’s about mid-50s this morning, with only a whisper of wind from the west. The lake is sitting a bit low—reports from Coyote Gulch say Lake Mead’s at about 31% capacity, so expect exposed structure and some narrowing in creek arms. Sunrise hit at 6:23 am and sunset is heading for 4:45 pm, so plan your topwater action in the low light windows. As for the bite: it’s on the slow side right now. Fishbox’s forecast pins things at a “poor” 31% activity score, but don’t let that keep you off the water. Fish tend to hole up deep when the days shorten and the nights get cold, but patient anglers have been picking off decent numbers at drop-offs and along submerged points. Striped bass are still king here—folks reported schools busting shad early near Boulder Basin yesterday. Most catches are running 1–3 pounds but there’s always a few ten-pounders lurking down deep. Catfish are steady, especially in muddy coves overnight, and largemouth bass are sluggish but catchable around rocky ledges as the sun warms things mid-morning. Best baits? With shad moving deep for warmth, go with cut shad, anchovies, or nightcrawlers for stripers and cats. For artificial action, tie on a deep-diving crankbait, swim jig, or spoons with a hint of silver and blue. Cast Again Tackle’s premium jigs are a local secret for bass when worked slow along transitions from shallow flats to deeper channels. When the wind picks up—or if you like an old-school approach—a noisy topwater plug tossed at dawn near the narrows is worth a shot. Hot spots today: - Boulder Basin, especially where the river channel breaks into shallower shelves. - The Temple Bar area, which sees less pressure and has good submerged timber and hard-bottom transitions. - Vegas Wash for catfish, especially after dusk. - The mouth of Government Wash for mixed schools of stripers and black bass. Major League Fishing reminded us to register for this year’s Bass Fishing League circuit, but even if you’re not competing, keep an eye out for pre-tournament scouting anglers this weekend—those folks know where the action is and can point you to crowded (and productive) spots. Remember: water levels are low, so keep tight to the channel and watch for submerged hazards near shore. The fish might be scattered, but with patience, persistence, and the right lure, Lake Mead will provide.

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 08:33:59 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI Artificial Lure here with your fresh Lake Mead fishing report for Thursday, November 13th, 2025. We woke up to crystal clear skies and mild temps after yesterday’s cold snap. It’s about mid-50s this morning, with only a whisper of wind from the west. The lake is sitting a bit low—reports from Coyote Gulch say Lake Mead’s at about 31% capacity, so expect exposed structure and some narrowing in creek arms. Sunrise hit at 6:23 am and sunset is heading for 4:45 pm, so plan your topwater action in the low light windows. As for the bite: it’s on the slow side right now. Fishbox’s forecast pins things at a “poor” 31% activity score, but don’t let that keep you off the water.

The desert woke up chilly this morning—air temps hovered in the low 50s at dawn, but we’re headed for a mild, sunny day peaking in the mid-70s by afternoon, classic late-fall weather for southern Nevada. Winds are light, barely rustling the mesquite along the shorelines. Expect clear skies, which means sunlight will reach deep water all day. According to FishingReminder, sunrise hit at 6:17 AM and sunset rolls in at 4:38 PM, giving anglers a nice, full stretch to work with. The major bite windows light up around first light and just before dusk, so planning around those times gives you a real shot at action while the fish are moving up to feed. Lake Mead isn’t tidal, but the weather is always your best “tide clock”—look for calm stretches and cooler water temperatures to push bass and stripers into shallow coves and creek mouths, especially early or late. Daytime warmth is keeping water temps in the low-60s, just about prime for the fall transition. Let’s talk fish: Striper fishing remains steady. Reports this week around Government Wash and Boulder Harbor suggest anglers are landing 2- to 5-pounders with occasional double-digit stripers schooling up in open water. Over at Las Vegas Bay, a few boats worked boils at dawn to put 10-15 fish in the box before breakfast. Bald eagles weren’t the only ones chasing shad this morning! Largemouth bass are getting more active as the days keep cooling. Local reports from Pitch Fork Cove and Lower Gypsum Wash have bass up shallow—think 2 to 8 feet—keying in on baitfish along gravel points and inside flooded brush. You’ll want to slow down presentations: Ned rigs and drop-shot rigs with Z-Man GrubZ or TRD CrawZ are scoring consistent bites. According to Discount Tackle reviews, those ElaZtech baits are sticky for bass this time of year and stand up to heavy hits. For covering water, the Megabass S-Crank 1.5 or a medium-diving crankbait in natural “shad” colors has been especially productive, particularly when fish are schooling on flats near the mouths of coves. Catfish remain steady on cut bait—chicken liver or nightcrawlers fished in 20-30 feet at the bottom of the wash arms, especially after dusk. If you’re new to the lake or want to play the odds, two hot spots are shining right now: - **Government Wash**: Stripers blitzing near the points at sunrise; toss topwater walk-the-dog baits or cast swimbaits toward chasing fish. - **Boulder Harbor**: Mid-morning action on both stripers and largemouth. Work the edges of submerged brush with soft plastic craws or moderate diving crankbaits. If you’re fishing from shore, Las Vegas Bay and Gypsum Wash are producing, especially around dusk. Before you hit the water, make sure to have your Nevada fishing license and check for any area closures.

Locals headed out after a sunrise at 6:23 am, and with sunset at 4:39 pm, there’s only a modest window for productive fishing. The weather’s been on the cool side—mid-50s early, warming to low 70s by afternoon—clear skies, with just a slight breeze rustling the coves. No tide swings here, just the slow drawdown that’s been the story all fall as the Bureau of Reclamation pulls water downstream. Lake activity has picked up since last week. According to local chatter near Lake Mead Marina, striped bass remain the headline catch, with anglers picking up decent numbers on cut anchovies and shad imitations. The big schools aren’t as deep or scattered as mid-summer, and most fish are in the three- to five-pound range. One boat reported landing over a dozen stripers yesterday before 11 am, but most action was done by noon. The major bite times today fall around early morning—dawn to 9 am—so folks getting out before sunrise are seeing the best returns. Some late fall catfish are coming to the net too, mainly on chicken liver and stinkbait after sunset. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are still in the mix. Catches aren’t as consistent as the stripers, but if you slow down your presentation and target rocky points or submerged brush, you’ll find a few hungry fish. Best recent bass catches came from Boulder Basin and Las Vegas Bay, with a handful of two- to three-pounders taken on soft plastic jerkbaits and Ned rigs in shad colors. Reports from FishingReminder recommend working the edges of marinas or finding deeper water off the points for more consistent bites. Most successful baits this week are those that mimic local forage—think shad- and silver-pattern swimbaits or soft jerk minnows (like a Zoom Super Fluke in green or white). Anchovies are still king for stripers, but anglers working artificials are scoring with suspending jerkbaits as water temps cool. For bass, it’s hard to beat a pearl-colored soft jerkbait or a simple shad-colored Ned rig; go light and let the lure flutter naturally. Catfish are hitting on stinkbait at night and chicken liver near the bottom in the coves. Hot spots to try today: - **Las Vegas Bay:** Solid action for largemouth and stripers early, especially if you fish close to the drop-offs before the sun gets high. - **Boulder Beach:** Consistent for smaller stripers, and occasional catfish once the sun dips. Try casting right off the old launch ramp for a shot at mixed bags. - **Lake Mead Marina:** Sheltered water draws in bait and bigger predators. Fish the outer docks with a jighead and shad swimbait. Remember, Lake Mead is still busy with boat patrols and increased rangers on the water, so double-check limits and pay attention to regulations. The drawdown’s exposed new structure, so use your electronics to locate those unexpected rocky edges and submerged brush piles. Get out early, fish slow, and take advantage of these crisp, still mornings. Thanks for tuning in—this This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The sun jumped above the ridge at 6:18 a.m., warming up the chill as surface temps started near the upper 50s. Expect a high today around 71 under mostly sunny skies, light winds picking up after lunch—classic mid-fall weather for this big, blue reservoir. Sunset will hit just after 4:44 p.m., so you’ll want lines in the water early. Lake Mead is still showing the effects of long-term drought, but the bite has been steady. Stripers remain the main event—anglers this past week have been boating solid numbers, especially before dawn and in the afternoon when shad schools rise and bass push them to the surface. Action’s hottest in the Boulder Basin and the mouth of Las Vegas Bay. Most keepers have run 2–4 pounds, but a handful of 8–10 pounders were landed by patient trollers near the Saddle Island drop-off and along the old river channel. According to yesterday’s Lake Mead, Nevada Fishing Report Today podcast, shad-patterned swimbaits and topwater walkers just before first light are outperforming live bait, though fresh anchovies and cut shad always get bit when fish are holding deeper. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are making their seasonal move. With cooling water, smallies in particular have gotten aggressive on windy points and around rocky ledges—especially where the wind hits banks east of Government Wash. A local tip: a suspending jerkbait worked with long pauses has triggered some violent reactions, as seen in recent YouTube catches from the main lake caves. If you can find a windy shoreline, tie on a shad-color jerkbait or a Ned rig in green pumpkin for consistent bites. Catfish are still cooperative after dusk. Chicken liver and cut baits tossed near submerged brush in the backs of coves—Temple Bar is a solid pick—produced several channel cats over 5 pounds for bank anglers this week. For bait, it’s hard to beat live shad or anchovies this time of year, but artificial lures are turning more fish by the day. Top producers include: - Pencil poppers and Zara spooks for stripers at first light - Hard jerkbaits or medium-running crankbaits for smallmouth where the wind pushes bait - Football jigs and Texas rigs for largemouth holding deeper mid-morning - Classic chunk baits on the bottom for cats after dark There’s no tidal swing at Lake Mead, but water releases can affect structure, especially near the Hoover Dam. Keep an eye on dropping water for exposed humps and flats where bait stacks—those spots are gold this week. A couple of hot spots to check: Boulder Harbor for early striper boils, and the steep banks north of Echo Bay for smallmouth. Don’t overlook Hemenway for shoreline mixed-bag action, especially if you’ve got kids or beginners on board. That's the scoop for today.

Sunrise crested over a glassy Lake Mead at 6:13 AM. Early risers were greeted by cool, crisp desert air and calm water—perfect for launching a boat or casting from the shore, as reported on the Lake Mead, Nevada Fishing Report Today podcast. Weather looks favorable: we’re starting in the mid-50s, warming up into the low 70s by midday, with light breezes picking up in the afternoon. No clouds in sight, so expect strong sun—don't forget the sunscreen. Sunset is set for 4:41 PM, so plan those late bites accordingly. Lake Mead doesn't see much fluctuation from tides, being a reservoir, but water levels are still on the low side due to ongoing drought. This means exposed structure, rocky points, and submerged brush piles are prime real estate for both baitfish and predators right now. Fish activity is solid—this week has seen a steady bite across the board. Let’s talk about what’s biting. Stripers are stealing the show again this November. Anglers are routinely marking big schools early around Boulder Basin and Government Wash. Surface boils slowed a bit with cooler mornings, but the deep bite is holding strong—downriggers and lead-core are helping get to those lurking beasts suspended at 40 to 60 feet. A mix of smaller stripers, around 2-5 pounds, with the occasional big slab above 10. Live shad has been knocking ‘em dead, but if you’re slinging artificials, white or pearl 4-inch swimbaits and spoons like the classic Kastmaster are the ticket. Trolling deep-diving jerkbaits or umbrella rigs is also turning limits for those covering water. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are active, especially as the daytime warms. Look for these bass hunting shad around rocky points and drop-offs. The best action’s been inside coves with some sunken structure. Finesse tactics like shaky heads rigged with green pumpkin worms are putting plenty of bass in the livewell. Drop shots near submerged bushes can also get you bit, especially as the sun gets up. Catfish are eating well on cut baits after dark around Hemenway and Vegas Wash—some nice channel cats pushing 10 pounds have been reported. Crappie are spotty but catchable near submerged timber and brush using small jigs or live minnows. Hot spots you don’t want to miss: - **Boulder Basin:** Consistently productive for stripers, both early surface action and deeper trolling midday. - **Government Wash:** Good for both stripers and catfish, especially around structure. - Temple Bar cove edges and points: Worth investigating for both bass and crappie, particularly if you’re targeting brush. Best baits and lures this week: For stripers, live shad, pearl or white paddle-tail swimbaits on jig heads, and chrome spoons. For bass, finesse plastics like green pumpkin worms on shaky heads and drop shots; try a squarebill crankbait in shad colors if you’re after reaction strikes near shallow ripple.

We’ve got the tail end of a warm spell sticking around—temps are set to touch 81 by mid-afternoon under clear desert skies, with a gentle wind barely topping 6 mph. No rain in the forecast and no tidal swing out here in Nevada’s desert, so it’s all about water temp and light for predicting fish activity. Last night’s full moon really got the stripers moving—according to FishingReminder, predator action has been strong after dark and at first light, with solid bank and boat reports near the washes. Major activity windows hit right before dawn and will swing again at dusk around sunset, which falls today at 4:40 PM. Anglers are seeing good action across the board: - **Striped bass** are schooling up in deeper water. The best action’s been between Boulder Harbor and Government Wash, especially near the drop-offs. Several locals landed limits this morning—fish mostly in the 2-5 lb range, with the occasional 8 lb hawg showing on cut anchovy. - Around Las Vegas Bay and Gypsum Wash, **largemouth bass** are working the rocky points. Most are in the pound-and-a-half to three-pound range, with a couple four-pounders weighed this week. - There’s been a trickle of **catfish** above 6 lbs from the coves near Crawdad and Hatchery, especially overnight, and crappie slabs have been coming out of the shallows on live minnows at dawn. Best baits and lures right now: - For stripers: Frozen anchovies and sardines are consistent, but those tossing white swimbaits or jigging silver spoons—think one to two ounces—are out-fishing bait during low-light windows. - Largemouth are firing up for medium-diving crankbaits in bluegill and perch patterns, and green pumpkin or watermelon soft plastics are strong along the rocky ledges. - Topwater was quiet early, but don’t skip a popper right at dusk near the marina and shallow points. - Catfish remain partial to stinkbait and nightcrawlers fished on the bottom overnight—best after moonrise. - Crappie are stacking up around submerged brush in the coves. Small jigs in pink or chartreuse tipped with a minnow have drawn the best bites. Hot spots to focus on if you’re heading out: - **Boulder Harbor**: The drop-offs near the old Hemenway launch and east toward Saddle Cove are loaded up with stripers this week. - **Government Wash**: This cove offers a mix of striper, largemouth, and catfish opportunities, especially at sunrise and after sunset. - **Gypsum Wash**: Action here favors a mixed bag—cast from shore at dawn for a chance at both bass and panfish. Water levels are a little higher than this time last year and clarity’s good—so cover some water and watch for schooling action. Remember, those full-moon nights mean the fish might be feeding more at night, so early mornings and late afternoons get better as the day wears on.

Several locals landed limits this morning—fish mostly in the 2-5 lb range, with the occasional 8 lb hawg showing on cut anchovy. - Around Las Vegas Bay and Gypsum Wash, **largemouth bass** are working the rocky points. Most are in the pound-and-a-half to three-pound range, with a couple four-pounders weighed this week. - There’s been a trickle of **catfish** above 6 lbs from the coves near Crawdad and Hatchery, especially overnight, and crappie slabs have been coming out of the shallows on live minnows at dawn. Best baits and lures right now: - For stripers: Frozen anchovies and sardines are consistent, but those tossing white swimbaits or jigging silver spoons—think one to two ounces—are out-fishing bait during low-light windows. - Largemouth are firing up for medium-diving crankbaits in bluegill and perch patterns, and green pumpkin or watermelon soft plastics are strong along the rocky ledges. - Topwater was quiet early, but don’t skip a popper right at dusk near the marina and shallow points. - Catfish remain partial to stinkbait and nightcrawlers fished on the bottom overnight—best after moonrise. - Crappie are stacking up around submerged brush in the coves. Small jigs in pink or chartreuse tipped with a minnow have drawn the best bites. Hot spots to focus on if you’re heading out: - **Boulder Harbor**: The drop-offs near the old Hemenway launch and east toward Saddle Cove are loaded up with stripers this week. - **Government Wash**: This cove offers a mix of striper, largemouth, and catfish opportunities, especially at sunrise and after sunset. - **Gypsum Wash**: Action here favors a mixed bag—cast from shore at dawn for a chance at both bass and panfish. Water levels are a little higher than this time last year and clarity’s good—so cover some water and watch for schooling action. Remember, those full-moon nights mean the fish might be feeding more at night, so early mornings and late afternoons get better as the day wears on.

We’re heading into fall fishing prime time out here at Lake Mead. Conditions couldn’t be better this morning: a mild chill in the air early, with temps starting off around the upper 50s but warming up nicely as the sun comes up. Expect highs today in the low 70s, with light breezes and just a touch of cloud cover—ideal for both boat and bank anglers. According to FishingReminder, sunrise hit at 6:13 a.m. and sunset will be at 4:37 p.m., so daylight hours are getting shorter, but that means fish are bulking up before winter. We’re just coming off a waxing crescent moon, which gives us a nice mix of active feeding periods. Best bite windows today are right after sunrise, especially from 8:40 to 10:40 a.m. for that first minor movement, and then again from about 1:20 to 3:20 p.m. when the major solunar period lines up perfectly with our warmest temps. For you night owls, the late bite around 6:04 to 8:04 p.m. is definitely worth a shot. That waxy moon is still giving enough light for the stripers to start getting frisky after dark. On the catch front, anglers are reporting solid action for striped bass in the main basin, especially near the Boulder Basin and around the Lake Mead Marina. Some locals have landed stripers up to 8 pounds trolling deep-diving crankbaits like Rapala DT-16s or using cut anchovies on drop-shot rigs. Shad schools are still thick, so throwing Kastmasters or silver spoons into boils at sunrise is putting limits in the boat fast. Largemouth bass are still shallow in some of the coves, hitting soft plastics like watermelon Senkos and 4" green pumpkin worms, especially pitched into brush or submerged rock along the points. Spinnerbaits in white and chartreuse, slow-rolled near the mouth of Callville Bay, have also been producing nice footballs. Panther Martin and Rooster Tail spinners are good for smaller bass if you’re bank fishing along the points or marina edges. For catfish, the bite is heating up in Overton Arm and along Echo Bay. Fresh cut shad or chicken liver fished after sunset is bringing in channels up to 6 pounds. Carp are rolling in the shallow shallows—corn or homemade dough balls are the ticket if you’re after some fun with the kids. Best action for stripers and smallmouth bass has been reported near the Lake Mead Marina as well as the points around Government Wash. On windy days, Boulder Beach is kicking out some nice fish for those casting swimbaits and jigs. The harbors and marinas, according to the local reports on FishingReminder, are always a good bet this time of year—baitfish are stacking up, and so are the predators. Today’s hot lures: Chrome/blue Rat-L-Traps, silver Kastmasters for stripers; green pumpkin finesse worms and white spinnerbaits for largemouth; and cut anchovy or stink bait for cats. If you’re a bait angler, fresh shad is top-shelf—just make sure you follow lake regulations for cast-netti This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The fall bite’s rolling steady against a backdrop of classic Nevada blue skies. **Weather** this morning is crisp—think low 40s at dawn—warming nicely into the mid-to-high 60s by late afternoon with light winds under 8 mph, making for smooth boating and a perfect day to hoof it along the banks. **Sunrise** hit at 6:12 AM, with **sunset** expected around 4:46 PM. Visibility’s high and the lake’s just shy of glass calm; that means you’ll spot baitfish on the surface and watch for birds to mark where the action’s hot. Lake Mead, being a reservoir, doesn’t get ocean tides, but BassForecast and FishingReminder both flag today as an excellent day, with bite windows hot between 8:40 to 10:40 AM and again from 1:22 to 3:22 PM. Bonus for night owls: we’re in a waxing crescent moon, and the full moon earlier this week turned up some good after-dark striper activity, so bring a lantern or two if you want to hunt cats or stripers past twilight. On the **catch report**, anglers the past few days have been stacking up striped bass and smallmouth bass. **Stripers** are moving in tight pods, busting shad on the surface early, then sliding deeper as the sun climbs—30-fish mornings from boats working the Boulder Basin to Gregg Basin aren’t rare right now, with plenty in the 2–5 pound class and the occasional double-digit brute mixed in, according to dockside chatter and reports from Willow Beach and Callville Bay. The **smallmouth bass** are thick along rocky points and shelves, biting best on soft plastics—green pumpkin tube jigs, Ned rigs, and drop shot rigs with natural or shad colors. Morning and late afternoon spinnerbait runs in white or chartreuse can draw solid strikes, especially if there’s a hint of chop on the surface. Locals pulling largemouth are doing best deep in the brush around Government Wash, flipping a black-blue football jig or tossing a slow-falling wacky worm. Crappie are spotty but showing along marina docks—tiny minnow-tipped jigs work best, especially late. **Catfish** are prowling the sandy flats at night near Hemenway, falling for cut anchovy, stink bait, or chicken livers. If you want to fill the cooler, **best baits** this week are: - For stripers: Live or cut anchovy, silver or white jigging spoons, and shad-patterned swimbaits. - For smallmouth and largemouth: Green pumpkin soft plastics, spinnerbaits, craw-pattern crankbaits, and Texas-rigged creature baits. - For crappie: Small chartreuse or white jigs tipped with minnow. - For catfish: Stink bait or chicken liver after dark. **Hot spots** today: - **Hemenway Harbor**: Early morning striper boils and catfish at dusk. - **Boulder Basin points**: Smallmouth action mid-morning to early afternoon—work the rocky drops. - **Callville Bay**: Reliable mixed-bag bass and potential bonus walleye just after sunset. - For those venturing farther, **G This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

First, let’s talk weather—expect calm, clear skies with sunrise at 6:14 AM and sunset at 4:46 PM. Temps are ranging from the low 50s at dawn, warming to high 70s by early afternoon. Winds are mild, currently out of the northeast at about 6 mph, so it’s prime conditions to be on the water. No tidal changes out here, but the waxing gibbous moon is sitting at 95% illumination, which means those major and minor bite windows are lining up with early morning and mid-afternoon. Recent angler reports from the Boulder Basin and Echo Bay confirm that **striped bass** are still active and feeding close to points and drop-offs, especially right after sunrise. Most folks have been trolling deeper running **swimbaits** and vertical jigging with silver spoons to match the shad that are balling up in open water. Live shad and anchovies remain the preferred bait, and several boats have seen double-digit numbers just bouncing cut bait near the bottom. **Largemouth and smallmouth bass** have moved deeper with cooling temps, hanging near submerged brush and rocky ledges at about 15-25 feet. The bite is steady—but finesse presentations perform best. Try a **drop-shot rig** with natural colored plastics, or cast a **green pumpkin Ned rig** along shadow edges. Locals are landing fish up to 3 pounds, mostly in coves on the north side. Don’t forget slow-rolled spinnerbaits; the Colorado River arm’s slight influx of current is stirring up baitfish and the bass are following. **Catfish** are hitting at dusk, especially below the dam and in Overton Arm. Cut mackerel and stink baits pitched to deep holes will catch both channel and a few flathead cats. Recent hauls include several 5-7 pound fish and one blue cat pushing 12 pounds—all from shore anglers working after sunset. For panfish, bluegill numbers are low right now, but crappie have surprised a few folks near Government Wash—live minnows under slip bobbers are the ticket. If you’re chasing trout, the stocking trucks haven’t rolled through in a couple weeks, but try willow cover around Las Vegas Wash with **PowerBait** or **small Kastmasters** on light line. These fish are still catchable, even out of the stocking cycle. Hotspots worth checking: - Boulder Basin points—stripers at dawn, bass mid-morning. - Echo Bay—schooling stripers on shad imitations and the occasional bonus catfish at night. - Government Wash—best for crappie and a few bass when the sun is high. With dropping water levels from the ongoing western drought—reminding us that conservation is paramount—expect some shifting shorelines and exposed structure. This opens up some great bank fishing opportunities, especially as the lake continues to shrink around the edges. Keep your tackle versatile, bring both bait and artificials, and work the wind-protected bays for best results.

Conditions this morning are classic fall: it’s a cool start with air temps in the mid-50s at sunrise, warming up to the high 70s by afternoon. Expect clear skies and a gentle breeze out of the north—ideal conditions for active fish, especially as the lake’s surface water temp dips into that sweet autumn range. Sunrise hit at 6:10 AM, and sunset will come at 4:47 PM. Tides don’t impact Lake Mead, but water levels remain historically low, which means more structure revealed along ledges, points, and rocky drop-offs. According to the South Cove fishing update, this is prime time for big bass and stripers, thanks to the cooling weather and the clarity of the water. Let’s talk fish activity. Reports from the past few days at Echo Bay and South Cove mention solid action around first light. Striped bass are schooling up, chasing shad in open water and along deeper channels. Several, including a couple of 10-pounders, were landed trolling umbrella rigs and deep-diving crankbaits. Largemouth bass are also biting, but are mostly found holding tight to submerged structure, especially where tumbleweed and brush meets rocky bottom—texas-rigged plastics and jigs have been the ticket for these. Local guides and tournament anglers are seeing good numbers overall: schools of 2-5 pound stripers moving across open basins, and steady largemouth picks averaging 1-2 pounds, with the occasional 3-4 pound kicker. Catfish action is picking up as well, especially after sundown from the back of coves using cut anchovy and chicken liver. Best baits and lures: For stripers, vertical jigging with silver spoons, trolling umbrella rigs with shad imitators, or casting weighted swimbaits is effective. Early and late in the day, topwater plugs can get explosive strikes. For largemouth, stick to natural-colored soft plastics, jigs with a green pumpkin or smoke trailer, and try spinnerbaits or chatterbaits when wind puts a chop on the surface. Catfish are going for smelly baits—anchovy is the local favorite. Hot spots this week: - Echo Bay has been solid for both stripers and largemouth, especially around submerged brush piles and outside the marina. - South Cove is holding big schools of stripers migrating up the river arm—troll deeper water or drift with live shad where you mark bait on sonar. - The Overton Arm is another classic November target, especially working secondary points and mouths of feeder coves. Watch for quagga mussels—they’ve been a fixture at Mead for years now, so rinse gear well to prevent spreading these invasive critters. Also, as fish chase shad balls into shallower water, stay alert for birds diving and surface action to locate active schools. To all who came out early: you know the value of being on the water at first light—most of the big fish this week were caught before 9 AM.

The day kicked off crystal clear and cool, with sunrise at 6:09 AM local time and sunset coming at 4:45 PM. No tides to fuss over in these desert waters—just pure, classic reservoir fishing. Out here, the weather is ideal for angling. Willow Beach registers 61 degrees with hardly a hint of wind and low humidity. As the sun climbs, expect a high in the mid-70s: comfortable with clear skies. Anglers packing layers will have the advantage, especially around dawn and dusk when temps dip to the low 50s. Let’s talk bite windows. FishingReminder calculates today’s major activity times in the morning, especially between 8 and 10 AM, with another hot period starting around 2 PM. Early risers have seen much of the action, but don’t sleep on the afternoon bite; the fish have steadily responded to the warming shallows. Striped bass continue to dominate the reports. Locals brought in several fish in the 2-4 pound range this week, with an occasional bruiser topping 8 pounds around Boulder Basin and near the narrows west of Las Vegas Bay. Largemouths, though fewer, are hitting hard north of Saddle Cove—fish between 1 and 3 pounds, caught mostly in submerged brush and rocky drop-offs. One catfish hunter last night landed a hefty blue cat near Stewart’s Point using stink bait—those holding over from the summer bite seem to have come up shallow with the cooling water. The panfish crowd is pulling in decent numbers of bluegill and crappie just off shorelines with structure, especially down by Government Wash. If you’re keen for numbers and quality, here’s what’s working best: - For stripers: **Pearl-colored swimbaits**, silver spoons, and live anchovies remain unbeatable. - Largemouths favor **soft plastic worms** (green pumpkin or watermelon, Texas-rigged) and **chartreuse spinnerbaits**—fish them slow in deeper cover. - Catfish are going for classic **chicken liver** and prepped stink baits; don’t forget your heavier rig. - Crappie and bluegill best suit **small jigs** tipped with mealworms, especially near brush piles or docks. Hot spots for the weekend: **Boulder Beach** is drawing crowds for stripers and bass, especially with clear water and early light. If you want some privacy and potentially bigger fish, run up to **Echo Bay**—it’s quietly putting up strong numbers for both species, with bonus action on crappie. Down at **Willow Beach**, trout plants continue to stir up not just rainbows but also the larger stripers staging below the hatchery outflow. Virtually all ramps are open and there’s no sign of algae bloom this week. Boaters—watch for shallow rocks and official markers, especially around the Las Vegas Bay narrows.

Sunrise hit the shoreline at 6:04 a.m. with temps cool and crisp, starting in the low 50s and climbing to a high near 69 by the late afternoon. We’ve got calm, bluebird skies—perfect for a full day on the water. Winds are projected to stay gentle, under 10 mph, and sunset will be right around 4:43 p.m. No tides to mind out here, but dropping fall water levels have exposed some fresh structure, and that’s pushing schools of baitfish—and predators—into the deeper coves. The water clarity is fair to slightly stained after some recent wind, but nothing that should throw you off your game. Main lake temps are hovering in the upper 60s. Fishing reports this week have been impressive. According to the Arizona Game and Fish fishing update, anglers are seeing the best numbers of striped bass in the last few weeks, with several boats tallying limits by noon. Most of the linesiders are running in the 1 to 3-pound class, but a few double-digit brutes have been landed, especially near the Boulder Basin and around Hemenway Harbor. Trolling white swimbaits or drifting with cut anchovies has been the ticket—both styles caught bass hand over fist, especially during the first light and just before dusk. If you’re going after topwater action, early morning boils at Callville Bay have provided non-stop hits, as detailed in recent kayak fishing videos from local anglers. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are active, too, holding along rocky points and submerged ledges. Best luck has come with medium-diving crankbaits in shad patterns and soft plastic craws pitched into the shadows. You’ll want to target coves like Gypsum Wash or Echo Bay—the smallmouth are especially snappy on chartreuse or green pumpkin tubes worked slow on the bottom. For largemouth, hit the brushy pockets with a Texas-rigged worm or a slow-rolled spinnerbait that mimics shad. Crappie anglers are seeing occasional nice slabs under submerged brush, especially off the Overton Arm using small marabou jigs in white or natural. Catfishers tossing nightcrawlers into the deep channels after dark have been rewarded with steady action as well. Trout have not been recently stocked directly in Mead, but keep an eye out for any scheduled plants at Willow Beach or in upper coves. As for the top baits today: - For striped bass, white or pearl swimbaits, jerkbaits, and fresh cut anchovies remain unbeatable. - For bass, try shad-pattern crankbaits, green pumpkin tubes, and soft plastic creatures. - Crappie are hitting on small jigs, and catfishers can’t go wrong with nightcrawlers or cut bait. Best bets for a limit right now: - Hemenway Harbor early, trolling or casting for stripers - Callville Bay for morning topwater action - Echo Bay for hard-hitting smallmouth Don’t forget the regulation on stripers: keepers are minimum 20 inches, but there’s no limit on those under 20 inches—perfect time to help the lake an This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The sun popped up at 6:46 AM and we’re looking at another chilly morning—lows right around 48 degrees at dawn, with the high later expected to reach just about 65 under clear skies. The air feels crisp and dry, winds are light out of the north at about 6-10 mph, and the pressure is steady. Water temps are cooling off, hovering around the mid-60s, and that’s prime time for fall fishing action around these parts. Tidal influence isn’t a factor on Lake Mead, being a big ol’ reservoir, but water levels are up a bit from last year, a real blessing after those historic lows. That extra water’s brought new shoreline structure alive, and shad are schooled up thick in the backs of coves, drawing in the predators. According to Nevada Fish Reports, anglers have been seeing a little slower action as the lake turns over, but the bite is holding steady most days. Striped bass are the main ticket, and they’re popping early in the coves near Boulder Harbor and Echo Bay. Most linesiders coming up are schoolies, running 1–3 pounds, but there’s been a few 10 pounders boated this week by anglers throwing topwater just before sunrise. If you’re after a reel-screamer, hit the narrows and mouth of Las Vegas Bay at first light with chrome or white pencil poppers—classic Zara Spooks have gotten the most attention. Live shad or anchovies on a drop shot are a sure bet once the sun climbs a bit. Largemouth and smallmouth bass have been pushing shallower with the cooling weather. Willow Beach downriver, a favorite among Arizona locals, saw several smallmouths over 3 pounds landed in the past few days on green pumpkin jigs and Ned rigs. Up in the Overton Arm, rocky points are producing, especially if you’re tossing Texas-rigged plastic craws in watermelon red or small swim baits that match young shad. Catfish have been active at night and after sunset—try the base of steep banks near Hemenway using cut anchovy or chicken liver. Reports of channel cats pushing 8 pounds aren’t uncommon this fall. For those targeting panfish, bluegill are active around submerged brush. Small pieces of worm or crappie jigs in the Boulder Beach coves will keep rods bent, especially for the kiddos. This week’s hot spots are the Government Wash area for striper boils at sunrise, and Echo Bay’s north-facing points for consistent bass action. Willow Beach is still a winner for both smallmouth and an occasional trout, especially as trout stocking begins to pick up down there. Don’t forget, with the lake turning over, water clarity can be variable—stick with lures that throw some flash and vibration. If it’s a slow day, swap out for natural baits—live shad are tough to beat for stripers, and a simple nightcrawler under a bobber will still fill a stringer with panfish. And for those camping out, Willow Beach Campground is open and comfortable, with temps in the 70s by day and 50s come nightfall.

The morning kicked off cool and calm, with sunrise at about 6:52 AM and sunset expected at 5:54 PM—these shorter days mean fish are feeding harder in the prime early and late windows. No tides to worry about, but dropping water temps and stable weather are putting hungry stripers and bass on the move. Lake Mead, Nevada Fishing Report Daily says **stripers are biting both deep and shallow** right now, with anglers reporting solid catches trolling the Boulder Basin and out around Government Wash. Stripers up to 7 pounds are being landed, with most boats filling stringers by switching depths during the day. Cut anchovies are hot bait on the deeper ledges—don’t skip drifting them down at 50–80 feet. For lure tossers, **silver and blue spoons** or shad-patterned soft plastics have worked in the morning light. **Black bass and smallmouth** are pushing shallower with cooling water, especially near points, rocky outcrops, and in coves off the main lake. The bite really heats up from sunrise through about 10 AM. Square-billed crankbaits in craw or perch color, plus **green pumpkin jigs**, are drawing reaction strikes. Both largemouth and smallmouth are coming in: most are in the 2–3 lb range, but a few over 5 lbs have been reported near Callville Bay docks and behind Saddle Island. **Channel catfish** are steady—best after dusk. Chicken liver and stinkbait are drawing in cats from shallow sandy flats and the mouths of coves. Lately folks have reported good numbers: - Stripers: catches of 10–25 fish per trip, 2–7 lbs, mostly near Boulder Basin and Government Wash. - Black bass: 5–10 per outing, mostly smallmouth, but largemouth showing near Callville Bay and Temple Bar. - Catfish: 2–5 per night if you stay out late. Best baits and lures for today: - Stripers: cut anchovies, shad swimbaits, silver spoons - Black bass: square-bill crankbaits, green pumpkin jigs, finesse worms (morning) - Catfish: chicken liver, stinkbait - For multi-species: drop-shot rig with small shad imitations will draw panfish and the occasional bonus bass. Where to fish? A couple hot spots: - **Government Wash:** anchor or drift for deep stripers, cast toward the rocky banks for bass. - **Boulder Basin:** troll for stripers in open water; cast jigs and cranks along submerged structure for bass. - **Callville Bay:** docks and rocky coves prime for smallmouth and largemouth mornings; catfish after sunset. The bite’s firing when the sun just crests, so set up early and fish rocky structure or humps for bass, then chase stripers as the light rises. Winds should stay light till mid-afternoon, so perfect conditions for both bank and boat anglers. Remember to check those local regulations, keep it ethical, and pack out what you pack in.

The lake greeted us this morning with clear Nevada skies and a brisk autumn chill. Sunrise officially popped at 6:05 a.m., and you’ll get a full day on the water with sunset rolling in around 5:38 p.m. Weather’s sitting in the mid-60s early, topping out near 78 mid-afternoon, with light winds helping to keep the surface calm—ideal conditions for both boaters and shore anglers alike. No real tides to report since Lake Mead's a reservoir, but water levels remain a bit low from ongoing drought, as noted by Coyote Gulch and Western Water Assessment, so some usual shorelines are exposed, concentrating fish in tighter spots. Striped bass are definitely the headliners right now, schooling up deep and shallow. According to the Lake Mead, Nevada Daily Fishing Report podcast, folks have been catching healthy stripers in the 2 to 4-pound range, with a few lucky anglers netting double-digit monsters on live shad and swim baits. Early morning and dusk are the magic hours—troll or cast from Boulder Basin down towards Hemenway for steady action. Topwater pencil baits, silver spoons, and soft swimbaits are all producing. Downrigging deeper with cut anchovies isn’t a bad call either if the sun gets high. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are still working the shallows. Try working crankbaits and soft plastics—watermelon and chartreuse senkos are especially hot—into rocky coves and points northwest of Callville Bay and around Echo Bay. The action’s brisk, with some 3-pounders landed recently. Fish are feeding up ahead of winter, so don’t hesitate to throw a little bigger profile bait. Catfish are getting active at night, holding in deeper water near the Vegas Wash and around Government Wash. Chicken liver or cut mackerel on the bottom is the local know-how. Reports mention steady numbers for folks willing to toss out after sunset. As for bait, live shad reigns supreme for stripers. If you can’t net your own, anchovies and sardines will work in a pinch. For bass, Texas-rigged soft plastics and mid-diving crankbaits in shad patterns are go-to options. For catfish, it’s all about anything stinky—liver, shrimp, or dough balls. The hot spots this week: - **Boulder Basin:** Striper action is fast and furious, especially early. - **Callville Bay Points:** Solid bass action for both largemouth and smallmouth along rocky structure. Water clarity is good outside of some muddy patches near inflows, so long fluorocarbon leaders and subtle presentations can make the difference, especially as the sun climbs and fish get pressured. No significant snowmelt runoff affecting conditions, as Snoflo reports snowpack way below normal, so barring any freak storms, clarity, and temp should stay steady for a while.

It’s a classic Nevada fall morning—crisp, with temps starting in the 50s at sunrise and climbing to the upper 70s by afternoon under clear blue skies. Winds are light out of the north, just enough to keep the water surface lively, making for ideal fishing conditions. Sunrise hit just after 6:50 AM and sunset will come up around 5:53 PM, giving you that perfect fall window where the bite gets aggressive right at dawn and just before dusk. Lake levels remain steady and the Colorado River basin is holding up well for late October, keeping all our favorite coves and points in play. No tides on freshwater lakes, but the changing daylight and water temp hitting the low 60s are key—the stripers and bass are on their autumn patterns and feeding up for winter. Fish activity’s been excellent the past few days—reports from local anglers around Government Wash and the Boulder Beach area are rolling in with plenty of good stringers. Stripers have been especially cooperative, schooling up both deep and shallow. The bite is hot right at first light in the backs of coves; by mid-morning, those fish are pushing out to 40–60 feet, so bring your electronics and be ready to drop down if the surface boils die off. Bass are hugging shallow rocks and submerged brush early, then sliding off to secondary points. Largemouth and smallmouth are both being caught, though with water cooling off, you want to go finesse. Big numbers aren’t out of the ordinary; most folks are picking up half a dozen quality bass per morning if they work the right areas. Best lures right now are subtle. Shad-colored swimbaits are king for stripers, especially when the sun’s low. Drop-shot rigs and small Ned rigs in green pumpkin or watermelon red have been deadly for bass, worked slow along points and ledges. If you’re after a monster, early morning topwater—think Zara Spooks or Whopper Ploppers—can still coax a savage strike, but the finesse bite rules most of the day. Night anglers are hammering big channel cats on cut anchovy and shrimp, especially near the Overton Arm and the upper reaches around Echo Bay. A couple of hot spots worth mentioning—try the rocky points and cuts near Hemenway Harbor for bass, especially before noon. For stripers, anglers drifting swim shads off the Boulder Islands and in the deeper channels just south of Callville Bay are hauling in plenty of fish, some over 6 pounds. Summing it up: fall weather, steady lake levels, and great fishing windows through sunrise and sunset. Downsizing your lures, slowing your retrieve, and finding structure are making all the difference as cooldown pushes fish into classic autumn haunts.

Sunrise over Lake Mead today hit at 6:56 AM, with sunset at 6:04 PM. These fall days are growing shorter, and it’s prime time to catch fish on the move as the temperatures start their slide. The National Weather Service forecasts a calm start, with temperatures hovering in the mid-60s at dawn and climbing to the low 80s by late afternoon. Skies will be clear, with a steady light breeze—a classic Nevada autumn that keeps the water just a slight ripple. No precipitation expected, so go ahead and pack light. There’s no tidal activity on Lake Mead since it’s a reservoir, but water levels remain low thanks to persistent drought as CBS News highlights. As a result, baitfish are getting pushed into tighter schools, and predators are starting to key in[9]. Recent catches have been encouraging. Local guides and tackle shops reported strong numbers of striped bass, particularly in the Boulder Basin. Plenty of stripers in the 2-5 pound range, with a couple rounding up near 8 pounds. Largemouth bass have also been active—look for them around submerged brush piles and rocky shorelines. Catfish are reliable right now, and a few anglers have even landed the occasional smallmouth near rocky points. Best windows for action are just after sunrise and again just at dusk, when fish are most aggressively feeding. This fits right in with the fall pattern—predators chasing bait along drop-offs, points, and coves. If you’re targeting stripers, dawn patrol out around Hemenway Harbor and the stretch to Saddle Cove is producing results. Bait and lure recommendations: Live anchovies are a sure bet for stripers. If you’re casting artificials, try medium-diving crankbaits in shad or chrome patterns, or toss heavy bucktail jigs when you find deeper marks. For largemouth, Texas-rigged plastics in pumpkin or green work well, and chatterbaits can trigger bites when worked through scattered cover. Catfish remain loyal to chicken liver or shrimp fished after sunset. Hot spots for today: - **Boulder Basin:** Striper schools are busting surface bait before sunrise. Troll or cast around shad pods and you might get a limit before lunch. - **Echo Bay:** Largemouth are keying in on rocky banks and brush—work your way into sheltered coves. - **Government Wash:** Catfish are biting after dark, with reports of steady action on cut baits.

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 07:34:54 -0000 full Inception Point AI Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure coming at you with today’s fishing report for Lake Mead, Nevada, Monday, October 27, 2025. Sunrise over Lake Mead today hit at 6:56 AM, with sunset at 6:04 PM. These fall days are growing shorter, and it’s prime time to catch fish on the move as the temperatures start their slide. The National Weather Service forecasts a calm start, with temperatures hovering in the mid-60s at dawn and climbing to the low 80s by late afternoon. Skies will be clear, with a steady light breeze—a classic Nevada autumn that keeps the water just a slight ripple. No precipitation expected, so go ahead and pack light. There’s no tidal activity on Lake Mead since it’s a reservoir, but water levels remain low thanks to persistent drought as CBS News highlights. As a result, baitfish are getting pushed into tighter schools, and predators are starting to key in[9]. Recent catches have been encouraging. Local guides and tackle shops reported strong numbers of striped bass, particularly in the Boulder Basin. Plenty of stripers in the 2-5 pound range, with a couple rounding up near 8 pounds. Largemouth bass have also been active—look for them around submerged brush piles and rocky shorelines. Catfish are reliable right now, and a few anglers have even landed the occasional smallmouth near rocky points. Best windows for action are just after sunrise and again just at dusk, when fish are most aggressively feeding. This fits right in with the fall pattern—predators chasing bait along drop-offs, points, and coves. If you’re targeting stripers, dawn patrol out around Hemenway Harbor and the stretch to Saddle Cove is producing results. Bait and lure recommendations: Live anchovies are a sure bet for stripers. If you’re casting artificials, try medium-diving crankbaits in shad or chrome patterns, or toss heavy bucktail jigs when you find deeper marks. For largemouth, Texas-rigged plastics in pumpkin or green work well, and chatterbaits can trigger bites when worked through scattered cover. Catfish remain loyal to chicken liver or shrimp fished after sunset. Hot spots for today: - **Boulder Basin:** Striper schools are busting surface bait before sunrise.

Fall has settled in nicely around the lake, bringing out some of the best action we’ve had in weeks. Skies today are mostly clear and calm with a light breeze, temps in the high 50s at sunrise, pushing into the mid-70s by afternoon—perfect for a day on the water. Expect sunrise at 7:02 AM and sunset tonight right around 5:55 PM. Although Lake Mead isn’t a tidal fishery, water levels remain slightly below average, but clarity is fair and stable. Stripers are schooling both deep and shallow, while largemouth and smallmouth bass are pushing into the rocky shallows and coves. According to Lake Mead Nevada Daily Fishing Report, stripers have been taking live shad and cut anchovies down deep—especially around the open points north of Hemenway Harbor and near Boulder Beach. Early risers trolling with spoons or throwing topwater walkers have found quick limits before the sun gets high. The largemouth and smallmouth bite is reliably steady along drop-offs and rocky ledges. Best action has been in the backs of Callville Bay and the coves off Government Wash and Temple Bar. Anglers have been pulling in healthy numbers with soft plastics—think green pumpkin or watermelon Senkos, as well as drop-shot rigs. Smallmouth are firing on finesse jigs and Ned rigs, worked slow over chunk rock and submerged brush. Catfish continue to bite well for the night anglers, especially near the Las Vegas Bay area and the edges of Boulder Basin. Big channels are keying in on cut baits and stink baits set along deep flats and near inflows—set your lines after sundown for your best odds. For bait, having fresh shad is never a bad bet for stripers, but cut anchovy still brings them in if the shad are tough to locate. On the artificial side, chrome or white spoons, swimbaits, and topwater lures like a zara spook are hot for boiling stripers. When the surface boils die down late morning, switch to deeper techniques—vertical jigging or drop-shotting plastics in 40 to 60 feet will keep you on the bite. Bass anglers—don’t forget your medium-diving crankbaits in shad or craw patterns for covering water, but slow presentations like Texas-rigged worms and creature baits are finding the larger fish on rocky structure. Hot spots for today: - The north side of Hemenway Harbor for striper schools at dawn—look for boils or watch your sonar. - Temple Bar coves and the rocky shoreline between Boxcar and Sandy Point for bass. - Night-fishing for catfish near the Las Vegas Bay marina or Boulder Basin flats. Recent catches have included plenty of 2–5 pound stripers with a few pushing 8 pounds, smallies in the 2 pound range, and the occasional double-digit catfish at night. Remember, mornings are your best window—by afternoon, fish get deeper as the sun gets higher and boat activity picks up. That’s it for this Lake Mead report.

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Mead, Nevada, fishing report for Saturday, October 25th, 2025. Let’s start with the water levels—right now, Lake Mead’s sitting at about 1,057.7 feet above sea level, which is roughly 171 feet below full pool according to Lakes Online. That’s pretty typical for this time of year, and it means some of the usual coves and shorelines are a bit farther out than in the past, but there’s still plenty of water to find fish. Sunrise today was at 7:08 AM, and sunset’s coming at 6:02 PM. Should be about 11 hours of solid daylight for fishing, with temps forecasted in the low 70s and light winds, so expect comfortable conditions and good water clarity. No major storms on the horizon—it’s shaping up to be a great fall day on the lake. As for tidal influences—this is the desert, not the coast, so we don’t get true tides, but we do get subtle changes from wind, pull through the dam, and occasional lake fluctuations. The most important thing is the movement—fish are responding to the gentle currents and any early morning breeze stirring up the surface. Fall patterns are really kicking in now. According to recent reports from local guides and anglers, bass action is steady, especially along rocky points and submerged structure. Largemouth are holding tight to cover—think brush piles and ledges—and they’re starting to school up in the backs of coves as water temps drop into the mid-60s. Smallmouth are also showing up in numbers, especially over gravel flats and rocky shorelines. Striper bite is good, especially in the early mornings and late evenings—look for birds working over the surface and fish busting shad. Catfish reports are solid, too, with anglers picking up both channels and the occasional flathead, mostly on cut bait fished along drop-offs and mud flats. You’ll likely see some carp and panfish in the mix if you’re shore fishing—kids and families are bringing them in on light tackle and canned corn. **Best lures and baits:** For bass, fall means squarebills, lipless crankbaits, and big swimbaits to match the fall shad run. Try chartreuse and natural shad patterns—anything that imitates the menu right now. For soft plastic fans, jigheads paired with a Keitech Swing Impact or a craw-style trailer are producing, especially paired with a slow, bottom-bouncing retrieve. Striper anglers are scoring on topwater plugs early, then switching to white bucktails and swimbaits once the sun’s up. For catfish, cut anchovy, chicken liver, or even nightcrawlers fished on the bottom are tough to beat. **Hot spots:** On the Nevada side, hit Government Wash and Echo Bay for a mixed bag—bass, stripers, and cats are all possible, and the shoreline access is solid. For striper hounds, the area near the dam and Boulder Harbor is always a good bet, especially if you can find those shad balls. And don’t overlook the brushy points in Temple Bar—those have been holding quality bass lately, according to angl This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Sunrise rolled in at 6:46 a.m. today, with sunset coming up around 6:02 p.m. Expect mild fall weather—calm winds early, clear skies, and highs around the low 80s. No tidal swing on the lake since we're inland, but low water remains a factor, so keep an eye on those newly exposed banks and structure. Lake Mead’s current conditions favor an early bite. Bass—both largemouth and smallmouth—are moving shallow at dawn to feed and then dropping back to 15–25 feet as the light rises. Stripers have been pushing bait in open water and near river inflows, especially around daylight. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal and recent local video rundowns, best action lately has been coming off rocky points, submerged brush, and transition zones where shallow drops to deeper water are easy to find. The most productive baits right now: - **Lipless crankbaits** in shad patterns are catching striper and bass across all depths—vary your retrieve and fish deeper with slower pulls as the sun rises. - **Squarebill crankbaits**—throw 'em around rock embankments, points, and weed edges at 8–15 ft; shad or crawfish colors working best. - **Stickbaits**—silver/black for striper trolling; black/orange for smallmouth, especially if things get murky after rain. - **Drop shot rigs**, with purple Robo Worms and Zoom Fluke Juniors in shad color, are a must for lock-jawed bass in clear water; lighter line helps when visibility is high. - **Soft plastics** on finesse rigs—Senko-style worms (green pumpkin, watermelon) finesse-rigged around deep brush. - **Grubs**—4” to 5” natural colors on clear days, bright on muddy. Topwater action remains steady at dawn and dusk—think walk-the-dog plugs. If the lake’s dead calm, tie on a topwater early or just before dark for a shot at a blow-up. Recent catches have been solid, but keep expectations grounded: a 5-pound largemouth is about as big as you’ll see this fall with competition for shad intense and water levels fluctuating. Stripers up to 10 pounds have been caught near inflows, especially at first light. Smallmouth have ranged 1–3 pounds, often hugging structure. For hot spots, target: - **Temple Bar area, where the Colorado River feeds into Mead**—nutrient-rich water draws shad, striper, and bass. - **Overton Arm, at the mouth of the Virgin and Muddy Rivers**—find bait balls and you’ll find predators. - **Government Wash**—local inflow and brush piles hold bait, with bass lurking nearby. Wind can turn things on fast—spinnerbaits and reaction baits will get bit if there’s a chop. Slow down with plastics and a drop shot when it’s slick. Reports from the Colorado River Las Vegas Daily Fishing Report say most catches this week have been on shad-pattern crankbaits and drop shot worms, with stripers biting strongest near river mouths and main lake humps.

Sunrise hit Lake Mead at about 6:42 this morning and we’ll see sunset close in around 6:04 this evening, giving anglers a solid window for those prime bites. Weather’s seasonably cool for late October—daytime highs expected near 80°F, and overnight lows dropping to the upper 40s—so layer up, especially for those early casts. Winds are mild, sitting at 5 to 10 mph from the northwest this morning, which makes for smooth water and easy handling, whether you’re drifting coves or working points. With autumn in full swing and no tides to worry about inland, fish activity is picking up as water temps cool. Stripers are chasing shad in schools near open water and the edges of submerged structure. Recently, local anglers have been pulling in solid numbers of striped bass—many running 2–5 pounds, with the occasional double-digit brute reported from the deeper southern basin and drop-offs near the Boulder Basin. Black bass action is respectable, too. You’ll find smallmouth and largemouth hanging tight to chunk rock and brush. According to seasoned pros like Rick Clunn, who’s had success here during fall tournaments, topwater lures like the Walking Boss are producing strikes at first light—especially if you get a little chop on the surface. Transition to shad-pattern crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and soft plastics as the sun rises. For smallmouth, finesse tactics on rocky points pay off, so keep Ned rigs and light jigs handy. Catfish are still on the prowl, particularly in coves with muddy bottoms and brush. Channel cats up to 10 pounds have been landed lately—most after sunset using cut bait, chicken liver, or shrimp. Early birds are scoring rainbow trout at the nearby Black Canyon site, with best results on small spinners or PowerBait, especially around inflows and cooler pockets. Fall is prime for trout action, so don’t overlook those tributary mouths. The shad spawn is winding down, but bait balls remain visible. If you’re targeting stripers, matching the hatch is key. Toss chrome or white swimbaits, vertical jigging spoons, and topwater plugs when you see surface boils. For deeper fish, use cut anchovy or sardines on drop lines near the old river channel. Hot spots today: - **Government Wash:** Stripers and catfish in the early mornings, with plenty of shad activity. - **Boulder Basin:** Smallmouth near rocky ledges; reliable counts of two- to four-pounders. - **Las Vegas Bay:** Trout and bass near inflows—especially mornings after a cool night. Remember, fall fishing at Lake Mead is about timing and location—early and late in the day for best action, focus on transition zones, and don’t be afraid to move if the bite slows down. Local guides and regulars all recommend being flexible with your lure selection as water clarity and wind can change quickly.

We're looking at excellent fall fishing conditions today with temperatures running cooler than summer's scorchers. Sunrise hit around 7:15 AM and we'll have light until about 6:30 PM, giving you plenty of time to get on the water. No tidal concerns here in our desert reservoir, but water levels and clarity are looking good for this time of year. The striped bass action has been solid lately, with fish moving into shallower waters as temperatures drop. You'll want to focus on points and rocky areas early morning and late afternoon. Throw some larger swimbaits or umbrella rigs to target these aggressive feeders. White and chartreuse colors are producing well. Rainbow trout fishing continues strong throughout the Colorado River system feeding Lake Mead. Recent reports from upstream waters show quality fall fishing with nice rainbows being landed consistently. For trout, PowerBait in chartreuse or rainbow colors works great from shore, while trollers should run Rapalas or Thomas Buoyants in silver or gold. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are active around structure. Work brush hogs in natural colors like green pumpkin around rocky points and submerged vegetation. Finesse techniques are key right now - slow down your presentation and let those baits sit. Catfish remain reliable as always. Cut bait, chicken liver, or nightcrawlers fished on the bottom will produce channel cats and occasional flatheads, especially in the evening hours. Hot spots to hit today include the Boulder Basin area near the marina where structure and deeper water meet. The Overton Arm up north has been consistent for multiple species. And don't sleep on South Cove - it's worth the run for some solitude and solid action. One important reminder: be extra diligent about cleaning your boat and equipment. Invasive zebra mussels are a serious concern in our western waters. Clean, drain, and dry everything before moving between water bodies. Pack plenty of water, sunscreen, and get out there early to beat any afternoon winds. This fall bite won't last forever, so take advantage while conditions are prime.

This is Artificial Lure coming to you with your October 20th Lake Mead fishing report. The desert dawn broke at 6:42 AM today and sunset’s on tap for 5:58 PM, so we’ve got prime hours to wet a line before the winds switch up and that Nevada chill edges in. There’s no tide to mind—Lake Mead’s a reservoir, not the ocean—but water levels are steady after that early-autumn drawdown. Weather’s coming in cool and dry: temps rolling from a brisk upper-50s at sunrise to near 78°F in the heat, with light winds out of the northeast topping 10 mph at midday. Not much cloud action, so you’ll want sunscreen and a wide-brim hat. Expect clear conditions, but don’t let those bluebird skies fool you—the fish are moving, and surface chop from the breeze is helping mask your approach. Fish activity is ramping up going into fall. The stripers are schooling tight near drop-offs and coves, feeding heavy on threadfin shad before winter sets in. Reports since the weekend show solid action for striped bass, especially between Boulder Basin and Government Wash. Most catches are schoolies, 2-5 pounds, though the odd double-digit lurker pops up near deeper ledges. Shad-imitating crankbaits and swimbaits are hot—think silver/white or holographic finishes. Trolling deep-divers at 15-30 feet, especially at dawn, gets the biggest hits. Largemouth and smallmouth bass have been pushing shallow early, then sliding deeper around midday. Anglers near Temple Bar and the Overton Arm landed chunks up to 3 pounds on Carolina rigs, green pumpkin plastics, and chartreuse spinnerbaits. Smallmouths are loving rocks and submerged points—drop-shot rigs and tubes working best. Catfish remain steady for night owls off sandy banks. Stinky baits—chicken liver or cut mackerel—are bringing in channel cats from 2 to 10 pounds. Around Las Vegas Bay, several folks hooked some nice channels right after sundown this weekend. Best hot spots today: 1. Government Wash – Stripers are pushing baitfish in tight. Early morning jigging, later-day trolling runs from the wash toward deeper water pay off. 2. Temple Bar – A classic for smallmouth and largemouth bass. Cast to rocky points early, especially with finesse plastics and shad-pattern jerkbaits. Don’t skip Boulder Basin mid-morning for striper boils—they’re busting shad clouds just off the flats. For bait, frozen anchovies and live shad top the menu for stripers, while those preferring hardware should stick to shad-patterned swimbaits or topwaters. Lake activity’s busy but the fish aren’t shy. Several boaters over the weekend reported dozens of schoolie stripers caught and released, plus solid bass from shoreline spots. If you’re shore-fishing, focus on shadowed areas as the sun climbs—fish will tuck in where light breaks the hard edges. In summary: – Bright, chilly morning, warming up nicely by afternoon. – Stripers biting deep and shallow—schoolies are stacked, double-digit hawgs lurking, especially near ledges afte This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

If you’re thinking about getting on the lake today, here’s what’s been biting and what you need to know. First off, **sunrise popped at 6:53 AM** this morning and you’ve got until about 6:03 PM for sunset—plenty of daylight to wet a line. The weather is classic fall Nevada—cooler in the early hours with temps warming into the mid-70s by mid-afternoon, skies mostly clear, just a hint of breeze coming out of the northeast. That air is crisp, so bring a jacket if you’re launching early. Lake Mead water is holding steady but running a bit low, typical for October with the Colorado River situation, so pay attention to those shallower areas and any new hazards popping up near your usual haunts. According to Snoflo, the Virgin River’s discharge, which feeds into Mead, remains high for the time of year, putting some color in the water and making those mudlines at inflows a solid bet for active fish. For bite windows, today's moon phase is a **waning gibbous**—still giving you good night glow, but the key times are that **major window from 2:43 to 4:43 AM**, a **minor from 10:42 to 12:42 PM**, and another **major from 3:13 to 5:13 PM**. If you can schedule your casts, those later periods have produced best lately. As for **fish activity**, there’s been solid reports of striped bass schooling up, especially in deeper water near Boulder Basin and the Las Vegas Bay area. Anglers are landing schoolies between 1 and 3 pounds with an occasional 5 to 7 pounder showing up for those putting in the time and chasing birds. Largemouth and smallmouth bass have been picking up on rocky points around Government Wash and Callville Bay—look for them moving shallow as the water cools. Best lures this week have been tried-and-true: **topwater Spooks** and **walking baits early**, then switch to **chrome or white jigging spoons** once the sun gets up. Stripers have been locked on shad, so anything shad-imitating works. In coves with less activity, slow-rolling a white or chartreuse swim jig near submerged brush is turning both bucketmouth and smallies. For those preferring bait, **cut anchovies** and **threadfin shad** chunks fished on a slip-sinker rig are always a staple for stripers, especially if you’re anchored up off deeper ledges. Recent catches have been solid: one party I ran into out near the Hemenway launch went home with 25 stripers by noon, nothing under 16 inches. Bass anglers report 8-12 keeper largemouth and a handful of chunky smallmouth per trip, mostly on drop shots and Ned rigs worked slow along the rocks. If you’re after a couple of **hotspots**, don’t miss the area around the mouth of Las Vegas Wash—it’s prime right now for both stripers and catfish, especially with the cooler overnight temps pushing baitfish toward warmer outflows. Boulder Beach is another solid land-based option, especially for families This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

It’s a cool, stable fall morning out on Lake Mead, with air temps at sunrise around the mid-60s and light winds rolling off Boulder Harbor. Looking ahead, expect a high today right near 80°F, mild breezes through midday, and only a few lingering clouds—classic autumn fishing weather for Southern Nevada. Sunrise hit at 6:47 AM, sunset will drop the curtain at 6:04 PM. Tidal influence is minimal here thanks to our reservoir setting, but you’ll still notice some subtle current shifts where the Colorado River influence comes in. Striped bass are dominating the scene this week, according to the Lake Mead, Nevada Daily Fishing Report Podcast. Shoreline fishing continues to thrive as water levels remain low—less cover means more productive banks and concentrated fish. Locals report steady numbers of stripers averaging 1-3 pounds, with a few larger 4-to-6 pounders landed near deeper structure edges and submerged points. Topwater action for stripers has been solid early, especially from first light until about 9 AM. Tossing white Zara Spooks, pencil poppers, or a 1/2-ounce chrome/blue Rat-L-Trap can produce vicious strikes around shallow bait balls. As the sun climbs, stripers slide off into 30-50 feet. Anglers casting or trolling heavy swimbaits or jigging silver spoons, like a Hopkins Shorty or Kastmaster, are pulling fish out of schools marked on their sonar. Cut anchovies remain the go-to bait if you want consistent action—drift those baits near the drop-offs by Government Wash and Hemingway Harbor. Black bass are showing classic fall transition behavior. With surface temps cooling and shad schooling up, spotted and largemouth bass are chasing bait in the backs of coves, especially around submerged brush and rocky shelves. Throw shad-imitating crankbaits, underscore jerkbaits like the Lucky Craft Pointer in ghost minnow, or 3-4” paddle-tail swimbaits along windy points. Ned rigs or Texas-rigged soft plastics in green pumpkin or watermelon are working well as the sun gets higher and the bite slows down. For numbers, the best recent reports are coming out of the Echo Bay marina area and the narrows just west of Temple Bar. Anglers focusing on these spots with live shad or soft plastic jigs have picked up mixed bags—stripers, largemouth, and smallmouth alike. Catfish are also making a bit of a run, especially at night. Cut baits and chicken liver fished along sandy flats east of Las Vegas Bay and in the Overton Arm are producing plenty of channel cats up to about 5 pounds. Good reports for shore anglers using smelly bait on the bottom after dusk. Hot spots this week: - Boulder Harbor to Government Wash: Consistent striper and catfish bite, best with anchovy chunks, spoons, and topwater plugs at first light. - Echo Bay and the Temple Bar Narrows: Mixed bag action for black bass and stripers, productive with swimbaits and live shad.

Cooling fall air is rolling across southern Nevada, and the lake’s low water, clear visibility, and sparse boat traffic have set up prime conditions for anglers willing to adapt. Sunrise this morning was at 6:46 a.m. with sunset coming at 6:07 p.m., giving you just over eleven hours to chase that next big one. No tidal influence here, but wind is a daily wild card in October—gusts to 20 mph are predicted by midday, so hit main lake points early and plan to tuck into coves if things get choppy. Mornings have started in the low 60s, climbing into the high 70s by late afternoon. Skies are mostly clear but watch for stronger breezes and a building chop before noon. Recent catches reported by local YouTube channels like Busy Dad Fishing show stripers making strong fall pushes, with plenty of 1- to 3-pounders being caught, mostly from boats chasing schools busting shad across open water. Bank anglers are still nabbing the occasional “dink” (those undersized stripers and bass), but numbers shoot up if you move around and watch for boiling baitfish. Insane Striped Bass Action on Lake Mead is no exaggeration right now—boils have been popping up around Government Wash, Boulder Basin, and Hemenway Harbor, especially in the first two hours after sunrise. Look for birds working the surface—that’s your best tell of schooling activity. Soft plastic swimbaits in natural shad patterns, 4 to 5 inches, rigged on a 3/8-ounce jig head, have been deadly when cast into boils and burned just under the surface. Kastmasters, white bucktail jigs, and topwater walkers like Zara Spooks are classics for stripers—keep one rigged at all times. If the action dies down, drop a live shad, anchovy chunk, or a piece of cut sardine 15–25 feet deep near drop-offs. Stripers aren’t fussy right now—find the bait and they’ll be there. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are pushing shallow too. They’re hugging rocky points and riprap, especially as sunlight hits the water and bait moves in. Early in the day, topwater poppers and walking baits can trigger those reaction bites. Midday, switch to drop shotting 4-inch worms in brown or purple, or throw a green pumpkin jig down to 15 feet if you’re fishing structure. Bank anglers have had luck with Ned rigs bounced slowly along the transitions. As for amounts, while this fall hasn’t produced monsters like in spring, boat anglers have been putting together stringers of 10–25 stripers a session, with a handful of bass mixed in near rocky ledges. Willow Beach Marina guides report occasional trophy stripers from the deepwater south end, but most catches remain school-sized. For multispecies action, Boulder Beach has been steady, and the mouth of Las Vegas Bay is waking up as temps drop. Top hot spots this week are: - Hemenway Harbor: Early morning striper boils and consistent action on both bait and artificials. - Government Wash: Active schools in the main channel This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We're looking at a beautiful fall day out here on the Big Muddy. Sunrise hit us around 6:45 this morning, and we'll have light until about 6:30 tonight, giving you plenty of time to get on the water. Now, Lake Mead doesn't deal with ocean tides like some coastal fisheries, but we do see daily water level fluctuations from dam operations that can affect fish positioning along the shorelines. Temperature-wise, we're sitting pretty with mid-70s expected today, dropping into the low 60s tonight. Light winds out of the southwest should keep conditions calm, especially in the protected coves. Water temps are hovering in that sweet 68 to 72-degree range, which has the bass and stripers active and feeding. Speaking of fish activity, the striped bass bite has been solid this past week. Anglers have been pulling stripers in the 3 to 8-pound range consistently, with some bigger fish pushing double digits coming from deeper structure. The largemouth and smallmouth bass are transitioning into their fall feeding pattern, staging along rocky points and submerged humps in 15 to 25 feet of water. For lures, you'll want to throw reaction baits early. Chatterbaits in white or shad patterns are producing well, especially around the grasslines in the shallower bays. Swimbaits in the 4 to 6-inch range are crushing it for both bass and stripers. If you're targeting stripers specifically, tie on a jigging spoon or a deep-diving crankbait and work the ledges. For smallmouth, a drop shot with a green pumpkin or smoke-colored worm is money right now. Live bait anglers are doing well with anchovies and shad for stripers. For bass, live crawdads are always a good bet this time of year, and nightcrawlers will get you bites from just about anything swimming. Hot spots to check out: Boulder Basin has been producing consistently, especially around the rocky points near Callville Bay. Work the drop-offs from 20 to 35 feet. Also, don't sleep on the Overton Arm – the striper bite up there has been lights out lately, particularly early morning and late afternoon around the submerged islands. The catfish bite is also heating up for those looking to change it up. They're staging in the muddy flats and channels, hitting cut bait and chicken liver. Remember, water levels are down, so watch your navigation and be mindful of hazards that might not have been there on your last trip. Keep an eye on your electronics and don't be afraid to adjust your presentation if the bite slows down. That's your Lake Mead fishing report for October 12th. Get out there and bend some rods!

Sun, 12 Oct 2025 07:34:28 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure coming at you with your Lake Mead fishing report for Sunday, October 12th, 2025. We're looking at a beautiful fall day out here on the Big Muddy. Sunrise hit us around 6:45 this morning, and we'll have light until about 6:30 tonight, giving you plenty of time to get on the water. Now, Lake Mead doesn't deal with ocean tides like some coastal fisheries, but we do see daily water level fluctuations from dam operations that can affect fish positioning along the shorelines. Temperature-wise, we're sitting pretty with mid-70s expected today, dropping into the low 60s tonight. Light winds out of the southwest should keep conditions calm, especially in the protected coves. Water temps are hovering in that sweet 68 to 72-degree range, which has the bass and stripers active and feeding. Speaking of fish activity, the striped bass bite has been solid this past week. Anglers have been pulling stripers in the 3 to 8-pound range consistently, with some bigger fish pushing double digits coming from deeper structure. The largemouth and smallmouth bass are transitioning into their fall feeding pattern, staging along rocky points and submerged humps in 15 to 25 feet of water. For lures, you'll want to throw reaction baits early. Chatterbaits in white or shad patterns are producing well, especially around the grasslines in the shallower bays. Swimbaits in the 4 to 6-inch range are crushing it for both bass and stripers. If you're targeting stripers specifically, tie on a jigging spoon or a deep-diving crankbait and work the ledges. For smallmouth, a drop shot with a green pumpkin or smoke-colored worm is money right now. Live bait anglers are doing well with anchovies and shad for stripers. For bass, live crawdads are always a good bet this time of year, and nightcrawlers will get you bites from just about anything swimming. Hot spots to check out: Boulder Basin has been producing consistently, especially around the rocky points near Callville Bay. Work the drop-offs from 20 to 35 feet. Also, don't sleep on the Overton Arm – the striper bite up there has been lights out lately, particularly early morning and late afternoon around the submerged islands. The catfish bite is also heating up for those looking to change it up. They're staging in the muddy flats and channels, hitting cut bait and chicken liver. Remember, water levels are down, so watch your navigation and be mindful of hazards that might not have been there on your last trip. Keep an eye on your electronics and don't be afraid to adjust your presentation if the bite slows down. That's your Lake Mead fishing report for October 12th. Get out there and bend some rods!

Let me tell you, Lake Mead is fishing well right now as we roll into mid-fall. The cooler weather is bringing those fish back to life after a long, hot summer. We're looking at sunrise around 7:15 AM and sunset hitting near 6:30 PM, giving you solid daylight hours to work the water. Temperature-wise, we're sitting pretty with daytime highs in the low 80s and overnight lows dipping into the 60s. Perfect conditions to get out there without melting. Water temps are dropping into that sweet spot where the bass start getting active again, feeding heavily before winter sets in. Now, Lake Mead doesn't have tides like ocean fishing, but water levels have been stabilizing, which is good news for finding consistent structure and fish holding patterns. Striped bass are the stars right now. These bruisers are chasing shad near the surface in the mornings and evenings. You'll want to throw topwater lures like poppers and walk-the-dog style baits early. Once the sun gets up, switch to deep-diving crankbaits or drop-shotting with live anchovies along the rocky points and drop-offs. Largemouth bass are also cooperating. Work your jigs and Texas-rigged plastics around the submerged brush and rocky areas. Watermelon and green pumpkin colors are producing well. Live crawdads never hurt either if you can get your hands on them. Catfish are always reliable here, especially at night. Cut bait, chicken liver, or prepared stink baits fished on the bottom will get you hooked up. These whisker-cats are active year-round and provide great action when other species slow down. For hot spots, hit up Boulder Basin early morning. The coves and rocky points there are holding good numbers of stripers right now. Las Vegas Bay is another solid choice, especially for bass around the marina structures and submerged islands. Work those transition areas where deep water meets shallow flats. Don't sleep on Callville Bay either. The main channel swings and rock piles out there are producing quality fish. If you've got a boat, cruise out to Government Wash where the old river channel creates great ambush points for predator fish. Remember to stay hydrated out there even though it's cooling down, and always check your gear before heading out. Lake Mead is a big body of water with limited services in some areas.

I’ll lay it out for you straight, like we’re standing by the marina coffee pot, rigged up and ready to roll. No tides to worry about here—Lake Mead’s a desert impoundment, so forget tidal reports and focus on the real factors: time of day, weather, and that always-fickle bass mood. Sunrise today is right around 6:45 AM, sunset about 6:00 PM—you’ll want to be on the water early. The weather’s been pretty cooperative according to recent tournament chatter—nothing like the gusty winds that blew through earlier in the week during the WON Bass U.S. Open. Today’s looking like light winds, bluebird skies, so expect clear water and a little less chop than we saw Monday. Fish activity here is solid, but not red-hot. Recent major events—like the WON Bass Lake Mead Open—showed consistent catches, but you need to put in the work. The top pros found their fish offshore, hunting structure and bait schools with Livescope, not just blind-casting. According to WesternBass, Mead’s been giving up quality, not quantity—think 3- and 4-pounders mixed with a few bigger bites, especially for those willing to slow down and fish deep. The bite’s a little tough without wind to get those shad moving, but the bass are definitely on the chew if you find ’em. Striped bass are around, schooling up on shad off mainlake points and in the channel. For ’em, throw big swimbaits, umbrella rigs, or even topwater in early mornings when you see birds working. For largemouth, target rocky points, submerged humps, and brush piles in 15–25 feet—they’re holding tight to structure, especially in the mornings. Drop-shots, football jigs, and deep-diving crankbaits are all producing. The occasional smallmouth will bite up north toward Overton, but this time of year Mead is mostly a largemouth and striper game. Best lures? For bass, it’s hard to beat a 3/8 oz football jig dragged along rocky transitions, or a Z Man Jerk Shad on a drop-shot rig if you want bites all day. For variety, throw a big glide bait for both bass and stripers—anything shad-patterned in the 5–7 inch range. Live bait anglers are using threadfin shad, but honestly, artificials are out-fishing live bait right now unless you’re targeting deep, suspended stripers. Two hot spots worth checking: First, Government Wash—the points and coves here always hold fish in the fall and the brush piles are loaded. Second, Virgin Basin. There’s a lot of submerged structure and the bass school up out there in deeper water. Both spots are accessible by boat, and don’t forget to hit the first major point out of any cove—the bass use ’em as highways this time of year. Remember, Lake Mead’s water’s down some, so check your charts and watch for hazards, and keep an eye on regs—some areas have special restrictions, and invasive mussel checks are still happening at ramps. If you do everything right, you could box 10–15 quality bass a day, with This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The air out here this morning is cool and crisp, with temperatures in the low 60s at dawn and rising into the upper 70s as we approach midday—typical early October in the high desert. Winds have been light out of the northeast, but pay attention around midday as breezes can pick up to 10-15 mph. It’s a clear-sky day, and water clarity on the main lake is very good. Official sunrise hit at 5:38 am, and we’re looking at sunset around 8:36 pm. The moon phase is waxing gibbous, so you’ve still got solid illumination for those early evening and pre-dawn bites. According to FishingReminder’s chart for Lake Mead, today’s major bite windows fall between 8:36 am to 10:36 am and then again tonight 9:07 pm to 11:07 pm, with minor bite windows very early and just before sundown. That mid-morning period is likely your best shot for quality action, so plan your tactics accordingly. In terms of recent fish activity, anglers have been catching plenty of striped bass—schoolies mostly in the 1 to 3-pound range, with the odd 5 to 7-pounder showing up, and a handful of double digit surprises reported earlier in the week, especially east of Callville Bay. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are biting well now that water temps have cooled, and the fall transition has the bass chasing shad up into the coves and around drop-offs. From the latest Lake Mead, Nevada Fishing Report podcast, live shad remains a go-to for stripers, and cut anchovy chunks will still get you bit, especially when fished deeper in Boulder Basin or near the Hemenway fishing pier. If it’s black bass you’re after, topwater action around first light has been fire—try a Zara Spook or a popping frog near flooded brush and rocky points for explosive hits. Once that sun’s up, transition to shad-patterned crankbaits or medium-diving jerkbaits like a Lucky Craft Pointer or Rapala Shadow Rap along bluff walls and submerged points. Smallmouth, in particular, are holding tight to rock transitions—work a Ned rig or dropshot with a watermelon or goby-colored soft plastic for steady bites. The bite slows a touch mid-afternoon but picks up again as shade pushes out across the coves. Swimbaits and spinnerbaits in silver/white have been effective at imitating the abundant juvenile shad; the strong winds this afternoon could make a white double willow spinnerbait a real winner. Channel catfish are still biting on chicken liver and stinkbaits in the backs of coves, especially at night, and the occasional bluegill and sunfish are still being picked up on worms and small jigs just off submerged brush. For the best action today, two hot spots to hit are the Kingman Wash area—where both bass and stripers are pushing up shad—and the area just outside Las Vegas Bay, right along the edge of the deeper channels.

Sunrise painted the water at 6:38 AM, temps kicking off cool in the upper 60s, topping out near 83 by late afternoon. Light winds, mostly clear skies, and no chance of rain made for prime conditions. Sunset’s scheduled for just after 6:30 PM, so anglers working the evening bite have a solid window before dusk sets in. No tides here at Lake Mead—she’s a big reservoir, not a coastal fishery. But with water levels lingerin’ around 38 percent after the steady summer drawdown, the fish are concentrated tighter to the cover and creek mouths. Fish activity this morning started strong at first light. Striped bass are the main show lately. According to the Nevada Fish Reports and the Lake Mead, Nevada Daily Fishing Report podcast, striper boils are firing off in the mornings—lots of anglers pulling them from shore within 100 feet, especially near Government Wash and Boulder Basin. Trolling with shad-imitating crankbaits and umbrella rigs is producing well; some boats are reporting a dozen good keeper stripers before noon. Largemouth bass and smallmouth bass are picking up as the fall transition kicks in. The WON Bass Lake Mead Open yesterday saw chunky largemouths weighed, caught on topwater plugs and soft plastics pitched around submerged brush and rocky points. Ned rigs and Senkos are finding bass in 10–20 feet zones, especially in the backs of coves like Las Vegas Bay. Catfish bites are fair, mostly overnight, with chunky channel cats hitting stink baits and cut anchovy near deeper drop-offs. Recent catches: Stripers to 8 pounds, largemouth up to 4 pounds, and plenty of school-size bass for folks targeting numbers over trophies. The daily haul for stripers is strong, with boats and shore anglers getting solid counts near the hot spots. Best lures right now: - For striped bass: umbrella rigs, shad-colored crankbaits, and swimbaits like Berkley Chop Block are a hit. - Topwater: Early mornings, try walking baits or popping plugs for explosive bites. - Bass: Ned rigs, watermelon or green pumpkin Senkos, and drop-shot finesse worms. - Catfish: Nightcrawlers and stink bait are working overnight. Live or cut baits—anchovy and shad—are king for stripers if you’re soaking bait from shore. Hot spots: - Boulder Basin: Stripers boiling at sunrise near the buoy lines. - Government Wash: Shoreline striper action, especially strong this week. - Las Vegas Bay: Bass stacked along rocky ledges and points. - Callville Bay: Good multi-species bites, and plenty of action for kayak anglers. For gear, Pro Staff members of the daily fishing podcast suggest packing extra crankbaits and topwater options—fish can be fickle this time of year, and you’ll want to switch up fast when the bite slows.

Today's weather is seasonally warm, with daytime highs near 88°F, zero precipitation, and light winds expected. Sunrise hit at 6:38 AM, with sunset sliding in around 6:22 PM—perfect timing for those golden-hour bites. No tides here, but water levels remain low, and drought linger. Coyote Gulch notes that recent dry weather has led to drops in soil moisture and streamflow in much of the region, so expect Lake Mead to be lean[3]. As for the bite, striped bass are making the most noise—a solid push of 2- to 5-pounders cruising near drop-offs and chasing shad in open water. The Boulder Basin was a hotspot yesterday, with several anglers landing limits by noon. Catfish numbers are strong at night, especially near Hemenway Harbor. You’ll find a mixed bag: some largemouth and smallmouth bass sticking close to rocky points and submerged brush, and an uptick in panfish for those fishing shallower coves. Best lures are what's mimicking the local forage. Anglers scored with shad-style jerkbaits, silver spoons, and deep-diving crankbaits. For live bait, anchovies and cut shad are king for stripers—keep the rigs simple; drop them near current lines or into deeper channels. If you want to target catfish, chicken liver or stink bait fished on the bottom after sundown is a proven tactic. Hot spots worth fishing this weekend: - **Boulder Basin:** Consistent striper action on both bait and artificials for early risers. - **Government Wash:** Good for a mixed bag, lots of structure, and some recent big catfish reports. - **Echo Bay:** Smallmouth bass have been hitting plastics and crankbaits near rocky piles at first light. With low water, some shoreline areas can be muddy or tricky to navigate. Launch ramps at Hemenway and Callville Bay are open but watch for debris near the edges and slow-moving boats. For recent catch counts, local guide chatter is all about numbers: most boats are getting 10–20 stripers per morning outing, with a few larger 8+ pounders coming off deeper humps. Panfish action is light but steady in the backs of coves—great for kids and newcomers. The heavier drought (covered by Coyote Gulch) has the baitfish population pressured, which means more predator fish pushing up shallow in search of food[3]. To wrap it up: early starts and late evening trips are best; bring jerkbaits, spoons, anchovies, and plastics for maximum variety. Weather’s prime, waters are low but clear, and the bite is steady. If you’re heading out, try Boulder Basin for stripers and Echo Bay for bass. And as always, keep an eye out for changing conditions—fall fronts can spark feeding frenzies but also sudden wind shifts.

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 07:34:50 -0000 full Inception Point AI Artificial Lure here with your Lake Mead fishing report for Friday, October 3rd, 2025, coming to you before sunrise out on the water just east of Boulder City. Today's weather is seasonally warm, with daytime highs near 88°F, zero precipitation, and light winds expected. Sunrise hit at 6:38 AM, with sunset sliding in around 6:22 PM—perfect timing for those golden-hour bites. No tides here, but water levels remain low, and drought linger. Coyote Gulch notes that recent dry weather has led to drops in soil moisture and streamflow in much of the region, so expect Lake Mead to be lean[3]. As for the bite, striped bass are making the most noise—a solid push of 2- to 5-pounders cruising near drop-offs and chasing shad in open water. The Boulder Basin was a hotspot yesterday, with several anglers landing limits by noon. Catfish numbers are strong at night, especially near Hemenway Harbor. You’ll find a mixed bag: some largemouth and smallmouth bass sticking close to rocky points and submerged brush, and an uptick in panfish for those fishing shallower coves. Best lures are what's mimicking the local forage. Anglers scored with shad-style jerkbaits, silver spoons, and deep-diving crankbaits. For live bait, anchovies and cut shad are king for stripers—keep the rigs simple; drop them near current lines or into deeper channels. If you want to target catfish, chicken liver or stink bait fished on the bottom after sundown is a proven tactic. Hot spots worth fishing this weekend: - **Boulder Basin:** Consistent striper action on both bait and artificials for early risers. - **Government Wash:** Good for a mixed bag, lots of structure, and some recent big catfish reports. - **Echo Bay:** Smallmouth bass have been hitting plastics and crankbaits near rocky piles at first light. With low water, some shoreline areas can be muddy or tricky to navigate. Launch ramps at Hemenway and Callville Bay are open but watch for debris near the edges and slow-moving boats. For recent catch counts, local guide chatter is all about numbers: most boats are getting 10–20 stripers per morning outing, with a few larger 8+ pounders coming off deeper humps. Panfish action is light but steady in the backs of coves—great for kids and newcomers. The heavier drought (covered by Coyote Gulch) has the baitfish population pressured, which means more predator fish pushing up shallow in search of food[3]. To wrap it up: early starts and late evening trips are best; bring jerkbaits, spoons, anchovies, and plastics for maximum variety. Weather’s prime, waters are low but clear, and the bite is steady. If you’re heading out, try Boulder Basin for stripers and Echo Bay for bass. And as always, keep an eye out for changing conditions—fall fronts can spark feeding frenzies but also sudden wind shifts.

Skies are clear and calm, with temps ramping up from the upper 70s at sunrise to the low 90s by late afternoon, so most fishing happened before lunch, unless you’re the hardy sort that hangs out for the evening cool down—sunset comes at 6:28 p.m. Water levels remain seriously low, as Arizona Fish Reports points out, so launching a boat is challenging. If you’re trailering, Hemenway Harbor’s ramp extension project means extra patience pays off. Shoreline fishing is the way to go for many, especially given that striper activity has been ramping up hard within 100 feet of the bank in the mornings according to recent reports. Striped bass dominated the catch sheets this past week. Most anglers bagged between 5 and 12 keepers per trip, with the occasional double-digit haul if they found a boil. The median size has been in the 2 to 5 pound range, with a couple of 8 pound bruisers photographed near Boulder Beach. Jointed swimbaits in rainbow trout patterns are a local’s top pick, particularly at Willow Beach, but cut anchovies consistently draw strikes near South Cove and Government Wash. Krystal shad and chartreuse jerkbaits also scored well at midday when the sun got high and fish sank into deeper water. Largemouth bass have been patchy, with most caught tight to rock cover and submerged brush. Soft plastics like Yamamoto Senkos, wacky rigged, drew bites in early morning, and Z-Man chatterbaits produced where baitfish hugged the shallows. Catfish remain steady, mostly channel cats, and late-night anglers are doing best with stink bait and chicken livers off the rocky points west of Las Vegas Bay. For bait, anchovies win hands-down if you can’t get live shad. If you’re lure fishing, white and chartreuse minnow imitations and mid-sized swim/glide baits by Sixth Sense are earning nods from regulars. Today’s best hot spots: - **Government Wash**: Striper boils near sunrise, easy shore access, lots of bites early. - **Boulder Beach**: Larger stripers and consistent catfish action in the evening. - **South Cove**: Active striper schools and an occasional largemouth off submerged wood. With low water and more shoreline exposed, explore new ground and mind the mudflats. Zebra mussel warnings are out—inspect your gear before and after you fish to help keep Mead open and clean.

The morning broke mild and calm on Mead—sunrise hit at 6:32 a.m. and you’ve got daylight lingering tonight until about 6:32 p.m. Expect a light breeze, clear skies, and temps climbing into the mid-80s by mid-afternoon. Water clarity’s looking fair across coves, but check your electronics—levels remain low, as Colorado River flows are still tight from this dry cycle, with little rainfall lately, according to the latest from Coyote Gulch’s September 2025 water update. There’s no meaningful tidal swing on the lake, but falling water always bundles bait up in the shallows this time of year, drawing in the gamefish. Now’s the window for classic fall transition action. Lake Mead bass—both largemouth and smallmouth—are on the chew pre-winter, hunting down threadfin shad along rock points and submerged brush. Striper schools have fired up, too, especially along the Boulder Basin and up near Temple Bar. The Catfish bite is steady as ever on stink baits and cut shad after dusk. Lake Mead Fishing Report’s September episodes confirm what local guides have seen this week: limit-filling action from just after sunrise through mid-morning, particularly for stripers busting bait on the surface and bass pushing into shallow structure. The Upper Basin near Gregg’s Basin saw some anglers boat double-digit counts of stripers—smaller size (1–3 lbs range), but fantastic action trolling white or chartreuse swimbaits and vertical jigging spoons. Out around Ove’s Cove, anglers pulled in solid bags of smallmouth casting crankbaits and Ned rigs along rocky shelves. Largemouth catches came up in deeper brush—junebug or green pumpkin Senkos pitched to isolated cover triggered bigger bites. Bait-wise, threadfin shad are king, so mimic ‘em—topwater walkers, flukes, and lipless cranks in shad patterns are all producing. Early in the morning, a Zara Spook or Whopper Plopper in pearl or bone color draws explosive strikes from both bass and stripers feeding on schools. As the sun pushes up, drop-shotting smaller soft plastics like Roboworms in morning dawn hue—or working blade baits and spoons—keeps the numbers coming. Stripers are stacking near the narrows off Hemenway and along the edge of Sand Island—here, live shad, anchovies, or cut sardines are unbeatable for filling a cooler. Hot spots to circle this week: - **Hemenway Launch**: Active striper schools and good smallmouth action early over submerged points; great for topwater and slow-rolled swimbaits. - **Temple Bar:** Consistent largemouth and smallmouth bite—work jigs or drop-shots near deeper brush and around submerged rock. - Honorable mention to Boulder Basin for steady catfish action on cut bait as night falls. Word from several docks and the Lake Mead Daily Fishing Report is that the average bass size is running 1½–2½ pounds, with a few bigger fish landed near deeper structure—best bags touching This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We’re right in the heart of early fall, and the talk around the launch ramps is all about the first cool breeze rolling in last night. Highs will top out in the mid-80s today—perfect for hitting the water. The north wind is keeping things fresh, with surface temps hovering around the upper 70s. For those planning a long day, sunrise came just after 6:30 am and you’ll have fishing light until sunset at about 6:35 pm. Tidal influence isn’t a factor here, but water levels remain lower than normal, so pay close attention near the shallows and when launching at places like Echo Bay. Fishing is on the upswing as the water cools. Stripers are the main event right now, charging schools of shad at first light. The most consistent action is happening off the points and in coves near Boulder Basin and Government Wash. If you’re on the water before sunup, keep your eyes peeled for topwater boils—reports from the Daily Lake Mead Fishing Report on Spreaker say anglers are pulling in plenty of 3- to 5-pound stripers, with boats typically hauling 8 to 20 fish before breakfast. Catfish and smallmouth are also cooperating if you’re working deeper near chunk rock or ledges. For lures, nothing beats a walk-the-dog style bait like a Zara Spook or Heddon Super Spook at dawn, especially if the surface is calm. As the sun climbs, white or pearl swimbaits and mid-diving crankbaits become the go-to, especially around primary drop-offs. For the plastics crowd, drop-shot rigs with shad imitations are producing nice smallmouth bass, especially around rocky points and ledges. Ned rigs and green pumpkin tubes are still getting love from bass midday—expect mostly 1- to 2-pounders, but don’t be surprised by the occasional 3-plus-pound smallie. Prefer bait? Your best bet for stripers and cats remains cut anchovy and chicken liver. Drift them just off bottom in 20 to 40 feet, especially when the bite slows after the early frenzy. Catfish are steady, with a recent 14-pound channel cat coming from Las Vegas Bay on good, old-fashioned stink bait. As for hot spots, Boulder Basin is a perennial favorite for morning boils—work the east side points just south of Saddle Island. Government Wash is producing good stripers early and solid cats and bass closer to dusk. For something a little different, try Temple Bar and work the river channel edges with blade baits or spoons; clarity’s improved and schools of stripers are roaming these stretches. A couple of reminders: Lake levels are still playing catch-up, so stay alert for shallow spots and check ramp conditions, especially in areas like Echo Bay that get skinny fast. Also, early mornings are prime for migratory waterfowl making their stops—give them space and enjoy the show. Thanks for tuning in to the Lake Mead fishing report.

The first cool snap of fall rolled in overnight—highs today pushing the mid-80s and a north breeze will keep things crisp on the main lake. With sunrise at 6:33 AM and sunset at 6:37 PM, you’ve got a nice, even 12-hour window to chase bites before the day fades out behind the Black Mountains. Lake Mead’s not tidal, so water swings depend on dam releases more than any lunar pull, but expect slightly lowered levels from recent conservation measures up and down the Colorado—watch those back coves for exposed rock and sudden flats. Fishing’s picked up since last week. According to the Daily Lake Mead Fishing Report on Spreaker, stripers are active and chasing shad first light off points and in the coves near Boulder Basin and Government Wash. Anglers pulling in before dawn are seeing schools busting bait on top, with some solid 3- to 5-pounders in the mix. The best bite has been from dawn to about 9:30, then again just before sunset as temps drop back down. Catfish and some nice smallmouth are also in the mix when you’re prospecting around chunk rock and deeper ledges. Best lures right now: throw topwater walkers or Zara Spooks early when the water’s glassy, then swap to white swimbaits or mid-diving crankbaits as the sun gets up. Soft plastics—especially drop-shotted shad imitations—are working well for slower smallmouth action off rocky points. For the bait crowd, cut anchovy and chicken liver are the classic ticket for stripers and catfish, drifted just off the bottom in 20 to 40 feet. Reports from this week show most striper boats bringing in 8 to 20 fish on a morning run, with the usual mix of school-sized fish and a handful of bigger keepers. Catfish are steady—one group last night pulled in a 14-pound channel out of Las Vegas Bay with stink bait. Smallmouth bass numbers are solid along the points above Callville, with plenty in the 1- to 2-pound range and the occasional kicker over 3 caught midday on Ned rigs and small green pumpkin tubes. Hot spots to target: Boulder Basin is always a crowd favorite for morning striper boils—try the east side points just south of Saddle Island. Government Wash is putting out good numbers both for stripers early on and for cats and bass closer to dusk. Up near Temple Bar, anglers working the river channel edges with blade baits and spoons are reporting surprisingly active schooling stripers as water clarity improves. A quick note—lake levels are a little low, and with conservation talks heating up across the Colorado Basin, it’s smart to watch your depth and ramps—especially down around Echo Bay where things can get skinny quick. Clear mornings mean watch for migrating waterfowl as well—Lake Mead is a major flyway stop, so keep an eye on the sky and give the birds their room.

Stick with me for the freshest info on conditions, catches, tactics, and local hot spots. We’re rolling into early fall with Lake Mead at about 32% of capacity, hovering near 8 million acre-feet according to experts studying the current Colorado River situation. Water levels are still low and holding steady, and launches are accessible but variable depending on the ramp. If you’re heading out, sunrise hit at 6:31 a.m. today, and we’ll see sunset at 6:37 p.m.—plenty of daylight for long outings. Notably, tidal effects aren’t a factor at Mead, but sustained low water makes fish more predictable near deeper channels and submerged structure. Today’s weather is classic desert transition: clear skies early, light winds building to 10–15 mph by midday, and highs pushing the upper 80s. Last week’s monsoonal storms are history, so the water’s clearing, and surface temps sit in the mid-70s. Recent downpours upstream didn’t budge the water much here, but did put a little stain in some washes and coves. With this stable weather, fish should stay active well into the late morning and again near dusk. Fishing activity’s ticking up as temperatures drop off overnight. According to recent reports from local anglers and guides, the morning bite for striped bass has been solid around Government Wash and Boulder Basin. Trollers working the 30-foot breaks early with white or pearl swimbaits are picking up numbers of 2–4 pounders, and the occasional bigger fish too. Some groups landed upwards of 15–20 stripers on half-day trips this week, with the best action dawn to 10 a.m. Cut anchovies are still the anchor bait in the Vegas Wash area, producing steady limits from boats and shoreline alike, especially near drop-offs. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are coming alive on rocky points and submerged brush in Temple Bar and the Gregg Basin. Anglers throwing chartreuse crankbaits and 4-inch green pumpkin finesse worms are reporting quality smallmouth up to 3 pounds and largemouth pushing 4. The bite’s best on wind-blown banks and first thing in the morning. Fishing pressure is light during the weekdays, so you can pick your water. Bluegill are schooling shallow around submerged sticks near Echo Bay, and a few chunky channel catfish have been taken on chicken liver rigged in the backs of the coves at night. Not a ton of trout reports recently—most action is focused on bass and stripers, which are far more consistent in the current conditions. Top lures this week: for stripers, white paddle-tail swimbaits with heavy jig heads, Kastmaster spoons for vertical jigging, and—for the bait anglers—cut anchovies or sardines fished on a sliding sinker rig. Bass chasers should throw medium-diving, shad or perch pattern crankbaits, Ned rigs, or drop-shots with natural colored worms. Catfish respond well to chicken livers or stink baits, especially after dark. If you’re planning your spots, This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The sun rose at 6:30 AM with a temp holding steady in the upper 70s. Highs look to push 96 this afternoon, and with that desert sun burning by midday, expect a touch of wind building from the south by early afternoon—classic fall transition weather at Lake Mead, light on rain, heavy on sunshine. We’re bone-dry and there’s no tidal swing to worry about, so all eyes are on weather and water levels. Striped bass are still running strong even with the lake a bit low this season, according to the Lake Mead Daily Fishing Report podcast. Schools of hungry linesides are pushing baitfish to the surface from first light till about 9:30 AM, then going deep midday. Most stripers caught are in the 2- to 4-pound class, with plenty of limits landed by persistent folks tossing topwater spooks or trolling swimbaits in the main basin and Boulder Basin. Best bite’s been early near the Hemenway Wall and the Boulder Harbor drop-offs—can’t go wrong working those edges. Black bass are transitioning, too. Largemouth and smallmouth have been holding close to rocky points and submerged structure off Government Wash and Callville Bay. Success’s been best with soft plastics—watermelon or green pumpkin drop-shot worms—and medium diving crankbaits bounced off submerged brush. The topwater popper bite lingers just after first light, but once that sun breaks over the ridge, it’s finesse all the way. Some smallies are cracking 2.5 pounds—a solid evening show if you work the shade lines. Channel catfish activity is up in the evenings and at night, especially in the shallows near Echo Bay, using good ol’ stinkbait, chicken liver, or cut anchovy. Talk on the docks is folks have been pulling in channels from 3 to 6 pounds if they soak their baits after dark. For the kids and casuals, bluegill are still schooling up in the marinas—nightcrawlers and small pieces of shrimp under a bobber will keep rods bent. Bait of the day? It’s hard to beat cut anchovy or sardine for stripers. Live shad are the gold standard if you can net ‘em, but artificials are producing, too: silver Kastmasters, white swimbaits, and bone surface walkers are the hottest picks. For largemouth, stick with soft jerkbaits and green pumpkin finesse worms. Catfish folks, don’t leave the dock without a tub of stinkbait. Top spots right now: Hemenway Harbor early for boils and schooling stripers, and Government Wash for steady bass action along the rocky shelves. If you’re after catfish or some peace and quiet, try Echo Bay after sunset—the whisker fish are feisty and plenty. Remember, Lake Mead is seeing a lot of pressure, so handle your catch responsibly, and pack out everything you bring in. Thanks for tuning in to the Lake Mead fishing report with Artificial Lure.

Sunrise hit the water at 6:35 AM, with sunset rolling in tonight at 6:46 PM. No tides here on Lake Mead, just the usual steady pool, but water levels remain lower than historical averages thanks to the long Nevada summer and limited monsoon relief. Early morning saw a gentle northwest breeze, clear skies, and highs headed for the upper 80s—prime fishing conditions, especially before things start baking after noon. Fish activity kicked off at dawn, when bass and stripers pushed shad up the coves near Boulder Beach and around Government Wash. Recent catches recorded during the WON Bass Lake Mead Open include healthy limits of largemouth and smallmouth bass. Just yesterday, according to the Lake Mead Fishing Report posted on YouTube, anglers pulling double-digit stripers up to 8 pounds, nice catfish, and a solid showing of bass—many besting the 4-pound mark. Local kayak anglers have reported active largemouth and the occasional angry striper on live shad and cut anchovy, with channel cats showing more nocturnal energy near submerged brush and rocky drops. Best baits right now are shad-pattern crankbaits, silver spoon jigs, and topwater lures just after sunrise. The morning bite’s been hot with Zara Spooks and Whopper Ploppers, particularly in those shallow east-facing coves. For stripers, try slow-trolling with umbrella rigs or live shad if you have them—otherwise cut anchovy always gets bites. Catfish have favored chicken livers and nightcrawlers near Willow Beach after sunset. Spinnerbaits in chartreuse and white, soft plastics in watermelon, and drop-shot rigs have dominated for largemouth around rocky points at Las Vegas Bay. Smallmouth remain keyed to crawfish imitators—try a Ned rig along gravel shoals in the Overton Arm early before boat traffic moves in. Top producing lures this week: - **Shad-pattern crankbaits** - **Silver spoons** - **Topwater walk-the-dog lures** - **Umbrella rigs** - **Watermelon soft plastics** - **Crawfish Ned rigs** Hot spots include: - **Boulder Basin**—stripers schooling off the marina and shallow bass at first light. - **Government Wash**—consistent bass and catfish throughout the week. - **Las Vegas Bay**—active bass before 10 AM. - **Overton Arm**—early smallmouth bite on rocky flats. Tournament action has been lively: Dylan Denny just took top honors at the WON Bass Lake Mead Open, landing the biggest sack with a mix of largemouth and smallmouth, mostly on shad imitations and plastics, so if you’re chasing numbers, those patterns flat-out work. Stay hydrated, watch the wind—gusts can pick up after lunch—and always check launch ramps for ramp closures or low water advisories. Morning is your best bet for any species; as the sun climbs, fish deeper ledges or shaded pockets.

It’s a classic late-summer morning on the big lake—the sun just breaking free at 6:32 AM and set to tuck away at 6:50 PM. Temperatures at dawn are cool, hovering in the upper 70s, but expect the mercury to jump up into the mid-90s under clear skies today. Winds are forecast to stay light, so it should be a smooth one out on the water, with no rain predicted. Lake Mead’s water level is still low, sitting at about 31% of capacity according to recent Reclamation numbers, and you’ll want to keep an eye out for exposed hazards along the shoreline. No tides here of course, just the slow pulse of managed reservoir water—so focus on sun position, wind, and structure instead of any saltwater rhythm. Fishing activity is on the upswing with the cooling nights. This past weekend’s WON Bass Lake Mead Open saw some exciting action. Fresh off the tournament, Dylan Denny from Dewey, Arizona bagged a stellar 28 pounds over two days, anchored by bruiser largemouths pulled both shallow and deep “up the river.” Second-place Joe Uribe Jr. landed a monster—an 8-pound largemouth, caught shallow on a power shot rig with a 6-inch Roboworm in Fuego color on fluorocarbon. Most top limits hovered in the 13-17 pound range, with lots of solid keepers being reported. The bite has been best with a mix of techniques. Lipless crankbaits like the Lucky Craft LV 500 and 6th Sense Curve 55 are getting reaction strikes ripped through the grass and along drop-offs. Evergreen Jackhammers in B Hite color with a matching trailer—chatterbaits—scored big in the cooler early hours and again as the sun dropped. Carolina rigs and football head jigs dressed with Yamamoto Hula Grubs in green pumpkin/red have been especially productive, fished on rocky points and deeper shelves. Ned rigs are pulling bonus fish when things get tough and finesse is needed. If you’re gunning for smallmouth, deep-water structure and jigs are your ticket, while striped bass are busting shad schools early—you can toss swimbaits, topwaters or shad-pattern spoons for real action. Live bait remains consistent for those targeting stripers or catfish. Chicken liver and anchovies fished on the bottom after dark produce steady action on chunky cats and the occasional largemouth as well. For panfish and bluegill, nightcrawlers and pieces of shrimp under a float are hard to beat, especially in coves shaded during the afternoon. A heads-up on the invasive front—quagga and zebra mussels are infesting Lake Mead and the entire Colorado River chain, so please, as folks at Colorado Parks and Wildlife remind us: clean, drain, and dry your gear at the end of the day.

Sunrise rolled in at 6:25 a.m. and sunset will land just before 6:53 p.m. It was another classic late summer day in the Mojave, with highs brushing 99 degrees under clear skies and a light chop across the water. Winds stayed moderate through the afternoon, keeping those topwater bites honest but making for pleasant drifts in the coves. Remember, Lake Mead isn’t tidal, so local conditions come down to wind and the wild swings in water level we’ve seen these past seasons. Let’s talk water: the lake is sitting at about 31% full, which means those classic structure points and drop-offs might be looking different than in years past. According to the Lake Mead Nevada Daily Fishing Report, the low water’s concentrated the fish, and the bite's been steady for those who know where to look. The **striped bass** bite is still the main draw. Early birds drifting live shad around Hemenway and Boulder Harbor found steady action, with fish running 2 to 4 pounds. Anglers tossing cut anchovies off the points midday picked up nice eaters, but the trophy stripes stayed deep and cautious. A few boats worked the mouths of Government Wash and got into schools chasing shad on the surface just after sunrise—keep a topwater plug or a white fluke ready for those blitzes. Largemouth and smallmouth action picked up in the back of coves and rocky shelves. Plastics and jigs worked slowly along submerged brush produced solid numbers, with a handful of tournament anglers pulling in limits in the 10- to 15-pound range according to chatter from recent local bass events. Drop-shotting green pumpkin worms and working 3-inch swimbaits mimicking threadfin shad were the winning tickets, especially near Temple Bar and around the narrows. **Catfishing** was productive after dark. Stinky baits set up around the backs of coves, especially anywhere there’s a little current, turned up some blue cats pushing double digits. Reports are that night anglers in Las Vegas Bay had their hands full. As for lures, the gold standard this week has been **Berkley Gulp minnows in pearl white**, 3–5” paddle tails from 6th Sense, and classic chrome Rat-L-Traps for those chasing stripes and bass in open water. If you’re working the bottom, throw on a Carolina-rigged craw. Don’t forget cut anchovy or chicken liver for the whiskered ones. Hot spots to note: - Government Wash for striper schools at first light - The concrete slabs near Hemenway for a mixed bag all morning - Temple Bar’s rocky points for steady bass action - Las Vegas Bay coves after sunset for big channel cats Even with water low and the sun blazing, the fish are stacked and hungry if you get your timing and presentation right. Bring plenty of water, be mindful of shifting structure, and keep an eye on the forecast—those wind shifts can turn the bite on or shut it down quick.

It’s a calm morning here at the lake, with sunrise peeking over the horizon at 6:22 AM and sunset expected at 6:51 PM. The weather is shaping up just about perfect for a September outing: mostly sunny skies, daytime highs pushing into the upper 80s, and light winds forecast for most of the day. Water levels remain lower than historic averages, and clarity is slightly stained in some inlets, thanks to recent wind and boat activity. Lake Mead doesn’t have tidal swings, but changing inflow from the Colorado River due to low flows continues to affect some coves and river arms, so don’t be surprised if the fish are moving—especially in the Vegas Wash and upper river stretches. Bass anglers, you’re in luck. The buzz around the docks is still strong after this week’s WON Bass Lake Mead Open. Dylan Denny took top honors just two days ago, running up the river north of Echo Bay and coming back with a whopping 28.03-lb total for two days, anchored by multiple bass nearing and over the 5-lb mark. Anglers like Kevin Hugo were getting limits pushing 15–17 lbs, which is stellar by Lake Mead standards. Notably, Joe Uribe Jr. landed an 8.05-lb bass—a rarity for these waters—proving that big ones are still out there if you’re persistent. For baits, tournament winners relied on lipless crankbaits like the Lucky Craft LV 500, 6th Sense Curve 55s ripped through the grass, and 1/2-ounce Evergreen Jackhammers in B Hite Special. As the bite slowed and the pressure increased, switching to finesse tactics was critical: Wacky-rigged 5-inch Senkos in green pumpkin purple copper, 3/8-oz football heads rigged with Yamamoto Hula Grubs, Carolina rigs, and even ned rigs with smaller plastics came into play. Around deeper drop-offs and the edges of coves, those slower presentations picked up key fish. Striped bass are also hitting strong, especially along the west side of the lake and in the Boulder Basin. Early morning and just before sundown, look for boils and bird activity. Trolling white or chartreuse swimbaits, crankbaits, and cut anchovy have all been solid choices. Don’t forget to bring some topwaters—pencil poppers and Zara Spooks can draw explosive strikes when the stripers are up and feeding. Local podcast Lake Mead Nevada Fishing Report Daily confirms that striped bass and channel cats remain active, even as water levels gradually edge down. If catfish are your target, work chicken liver or stink bait on the bottom near Hemenway Harbor or Government Wash after dark. Night fishing has been consistent for channels in the 2–6 lb class. Today’s hotspots: • **Vegas Wash:** The dirty water has made for better frog and shallow crankbait bites. • **Echo Bay up the river:** Proven productive this week for quality largemouth, especially along the first sharp drops out of the coves. • **Boulder Basin/Basin Coves:** G This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Let’s dive right into conditions. Weather-wise, it’s a classic late-summer morning: expect clear skies, already warming up fast with highs headed towards 102°F by midday. Winds are mild out of the southeast at 8–12 mph, and cooling off slightly this evening. Sunrise was at 6:24 AM, with sunset set for 6:57 PM. It’s dry as a bone, so pack extra water, sunscreen, and a hat—especially if you plan to hang on the lake into the afternoon. There’s no true tide on freshwater Lake Mead, but falling water levels and those morning winds mean you’ll want to hit the water early for best surface action. Water temps are tapering off from their August highs, sitting now in the low to mid-80s, and the cooler nights are putting predatory fish in a feeding mood, especially at dawn and dusk, according to Nevada Fish Reports. This week, the action has been hot and heavy for striped bass—no surprise there. Striper boils are all over points and coves; splashy surface feeding erupts right after sunrise, especially on the Boulder Basin side and near Government Wash. Recent catches have included plentiful schoolies in the 1–3 pound range, with a few bruisers topping 10 pounds hitting the scales. The Willow Beach area continues to yield the big boys for those trolling hardbaits. Largemouth and smallmouth bass activity is strong, piggybacking off the striped bass commotion. Anglers fishing near rocky drop-offs and submerged brush piles are scoring with plastics and jigs. A week ago, pro angler Todd Tobiasson from Las Vegas weighed in a 27.9-pound 10-fish bag at the WON Bass Lake Mead Open, with many quality largemouth taken by flipping Yamamoto Senkos and running chartreuse crankbaits around submerged cover, as detailed by BassResource. Catfish and channel cats are increasingly active at night—chicken liver and stink bait laid near deeper flats will do the trick. Sunfish and bluegill are still shallow and biting on small pieces of worm and mealworm. When it comes to lures, shad-imitating topwaters are king during the boils—think Zara Spooks, Lucky Craft Sammy, or a Strike King Sexy Dawg, which performed great in recent Bassmaster competitions. Swimbaits and bucktail jigs will get bit if the bass are shying away from the noise. During midday, drop shot rigs with Robo Worms in natural hues and football jigs in green pumpkin are the ticket for bass tight to structure. For bait, cut anchovy is unbeatable for stripers—drift them or toss a chunk into a boil and hold tight. Live shiners can double for both stripers and largemouth if you can get your hands on ‘em.

Sat, 13 Sep 2025 07:34:22 -0000 full Inception Point AI Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure with your Lake Mead fishing report for Saturday, September 13, 2025. Let’s dive right into conditions. Weather-wise, it’s a classic late-summer morning: expect clear skies, already warming up fast with highs headed towards 102°F by midday. Winds are mild out of the southeast at 8–12 mph, and cooling off slightly this evening. Sunrise was at 6:24 AM, with sunset set for 6:57 PM. It’s dry as a bone, so pack extra water, sunscreen, and a hat—especially if you plan to hang on the lake into the afternoon. There’s no true tide on freshwater Lake Mead, but falling water levels and those morning winds mean you’ll want to hit the water early for best surface action. Water temps are tapering off from their August highs, sitting now in the low to mid-80s, and the cooler nights are putting predatory fish in a feeding mood, especially at dawn and dusk, according to Nevada Fish Reports. This week, the action has been hot and heavy for striped bass—no surprise there. Striper boils are all over points and coves; splashy surface feeding erupts right after sunrise, especially on the Boulder Basin side and near Government Wash. Recent catches have included plentiful schoolies in the 1–3 pound range, with a few bruisers topping 10 pounds hitting the scales. The Willow Beach area continues to yield the big boys for those trolling hardbaits. Largemouth and smallmouth bass activity is strong, piggybacking off the striped bass commotion. Anglers fishing near rocky drop-offs and submerged brush piles are scoring with plastics and jigs. A week ago, pro angler Todd Tobiasson from Las Vegas weighed in a 27.9-pound 10-fish bag at the WON Bass Lake Mead Open, with many quality largemouth taken by flipping Yamamoto Senkos and running chartreuse crankbaits around submerged cover, as detailed by BassResource. Catfish and channel cats are increasingly active at night—chicken liver and stink bait laid near deeper flats will do the trick. Sunfish and bluegill are still shallow and biting on small pieces of worm and mealworm. When it comes to lures, shad-imitating topwaters are king during the boils—think Zara Spooks, Lucky Craft Sammy, or a Strike King Sexy Dawg, which performed great in recent Bassmaster competitions. Swimbaits and bucktail jigs will get bit if the bass are shying away from the noise.

First light hit at 6:27 a.m. and we'll have sunset tonight at 6:59 p.m. The forecast calls for clear skies and a slight southwest breeze, keeping temps mild with a high around 85°F. Water level sits at 31% full, which means plenty of structure is exposed and fishing pressure is light despite the ongoing Tier 1 water shortage. Lake Mead has seen strong bass action this week, with the WON Bass tournament kicking off yesterday. Denny took the day-one lead catching his fish mostly on chartreuse and white spinnerbaits and topwater walking baits, while limiting out with largemouth and smallmouth. The big catch of the day was an 8.01 lb Las Vegas largemouth that gave Uribe’s team a real boost—impressive anytime, but especially given the recent lower lake levels. Soft plastic finesse worms in watermelon and scuppernong colors also produced solid results, as reported by several tournament anglers. Striped bass remain active near Boulder Basin and Las Vegas Bay, with early risers picking up schoolies on shad-pattern swimbaits and live anchovies fished at 20–40 feet. A couple of regulars landed double-digit numbers before 8 a.m. yesterday, mostly stripers under 2 lbs but with a handful touching the mid-4 lb mark. The key is to follow the birds—when you see gulls or terns working a boil, get in close and cast right beyond the frenzy. Catfish are biting well after dark below the Vegas Wash and around Government Wash, with chicken liver, cut mackerel, and shrimp doing the heavy lifting. Recent catches have been decent, with channel cats running 2–6 lbs and an occasional blue catfish mixing in. Sunfish and panfish have moved a bit deeper as the water warms, but kids and shore anglers are still finding action using small chunk nightcrawlers and pieces of redworm by Hemenway Harbor marina rocks. Expect redear and bluegill mostly in the 4–8 inch range. Best baits today: - For bass: chartreuse-white spinnerbaits, topwaters, watermelon finesse worms on a drop shot. - For stripers: shad-pattern swimbaits, live anchovy, silver spoons. - For cats: chicken liver, cut mackerel, shrimp. Hot spots to hit: - Boulder Basin: For early-morning striper boils and topwater bass. - Government Wash: Solid evening and nighttime catfish action. - Las Vegas Bay: Mid-morning striped bass and the occasional bonus largemouth. Low water means exposed rock shelves, submerged brush piles, and narrow coves—be mindful of navigation and don’t crowd the ramp. Look for bass and stripers chasing bait into pockets as the sun gets high. Thanks for tuning in to Lake Mead’s Friday fishing report. Subscribe for more daily updates and local tips.

First light cracked the horizon just after 6:23 a.m. and sunset will ease in at about 7:06 p.m. Expect temps to range from a cool 72°F early, climbing to the high 90s by late afternoon. Skies are clear and winds light, so it’s smooth water almost everywhere—a true Nevada bluebird day. As always, Lake Mead isn’t tidal, but water levels remain low from continued drought and steady drawdowns from Hoover Dam, so pay attention to those launch ramps and newly exposed shoreline. Bass anglers were up early, and the bite has been steady. Over the past week, folks fishing near Government Wash and Boulder Basin have reported decent numbers of both largemouth and smallmouth, with the morning topwater bite best from 6 to 9 a.m. Zara Spooks, Whopper Ploppers, and poppers in shad color have moved fish. Once things heat up, soft plastic drop-shot rigs and wacky-rigged Senkos in green pumpkin have been producing well along rocky banks and submerged brush—especially on the Nevada side near Las Vegas Wash. Striped bass remain the headline. Boaters trolling between Saddle Island and the Boulder Beach area are pulling in plenty of stripers in the 2–4 lb range, with the occasional bruiser over 8 lbs. The best action’s on cut anchovies and live shad, especially suspended mid-column right at dawn. Reports from the last two days say umbrella rigs and deep-diving crankbaits in chrome and blue are also pulling limits if you’re willing to work a bit deeper, about 35–50 feet. The occasional boil still pops off, so keep a spoon ready for pitching. Catfish also made a showing last night along Hemenway Harbor and Echo Bay. Local bait soakers worked chicken liver and stink bait on bottom rigs for channels to 5 lbs, mostly after dark. If you’re running late shift, don’t skip the lighted docks in protected coves—the action is solid. Panfish chatter is up, with healthy bluegill numbers reported around Clark Canyon and Temple Bar. Small marabou jigs and pieces of nightcrawler under a float have been winning out, especially for the kids. For lure picks, bring your topwater arsenal early, then switch to hard and soft plastics as the sun climbs. Fresh cut anchovy or live shad is still hands-down best bait for stripers, especially in the open water. For catfish, stink bait and chicken liver remain the favorites. Hotspots this week: - Boulder Basin: Best for early smallmouth and stripers. Focus on rocky points at sunrise. - Government Wash: Good for largemouth and consistent night catfishing. Accessible, with plenty of structure. - Temple Bar: Producing panfish, plus consistent striper boils. A bit out of the way, but worth the drive for numbers. Boat traffic will pick up as the heat builds—get out early and keep an eye out for rapidly changing water levels, which can make structure a moving target.

Sunrise hit around 6:22am, sunset will slide in just before 7:06pm, so there’s plenty of good light for those morning and evening bites. No tidal movement here, but keep a close eye on water levels; they’re low for another month thanks to that stingy Colorado River runoff and Bureau of Reclamation data shows the reservoir near 3,555 feet, so launch ramps remain limited and some back bays are skinny. Early fall means cooler overnight temps and highs today topping out near 89°F. Winds will likely build by midday up to 10 knots—expect some chop especially near Boulder Basin and out across the Boulder Beach flats. Mornings stay calm, afternoons can be gusty, especially moving west toward Las Vegas Bay. Fishing has been steady if you’re working moving baits and targeting transitional structure. Stripers are the main draw: locals are pulling stringers in the 2-5lb range with occasional boils reported off Hemenway and Government Wash at first light. Best action comes by casting **pencil poppers, Zara Spooks, or LV-500 lipless cranks** when you catch surface schooling. Cut anchovy and squid remains money drifting in 40-60 feet for those targeting deeper marks. Smallmouth bass are picking up along rocky drop-offs, particularly around Echo Bay and the northern points above Stewarts. Try **Ned rigs, Keitech swimbaits in shad colors, or green pumpkin tubes**. Late-season bluegill are sticking close to brush piles near shore, nibbling on mealworms and small pieces of nightcrawler. Channel cats remain solid, especially for night fishing. Drop **chicken liver or stink baits** near submerged wood off Temple Bar after dark for best results; reports of fish up to 8lb have come in all week. Recent catches show: - Stripers: 2-5lb, daily limits common, mostly taken on cut bait or reaction lures - Channel cats: 3-8lb classes, good night bite on bait - Smallmouth bass: 1-3lb, plastics & finesse baits near rocks - Bluegill and crappie: steady numbers, mostly on worms Best baits today: - **Cut anchovy, squid** (for stripers) - **Chicken liver, stink bait** (catfish) - **Keitech swimbaits, Ned rigs, tubes** (bass) - **Mealworms, nightcrawlers** (panfish) Top lures this week: - LV-500, Zara Spook, pencil popper (stripers) - Green pumpkin Ned rig, Keitech Shad Impact (smallmouth) - Gold Kastmaster, small Rooster Tail (bluegill/crappie) Two hot spots to circle: - **Government Wash**: Early striper boils, consistent action for bait dunkers and lure tossers alike. - **Echo Bay**: Reliable smallmouth bite and mixed panfish, best for finesse anglers working plastics. Keep your eyes peeled for active birds and dimpling shad, both excellent signs of predator fish pushing up shallow.

Good news for early risers: today’s sunrise hit at 6:19 AM, and we’ll be fishing until sunset at 7:07 PM—plenty of daylight to find productive water and test your tackle. The weather forecast calls for classic desert summer—expect temperatures to peak near 99° F with clear skies and a stiff afternoon breeze. That midday wind may chop up the surface, pushing baitfish and stripers into shallows and points before the sun bakes the rocks. As always, hydrate, keep an eye on your electronics, and don’t be shy about seeking shade during the brutal afternoon hours. Lake Mead’s water level keeps edging downward, changing up familiar structure and forcing both predator and prey to adapt. The ledges and drop-offs that held fish last month might now be dry land, so focus on the newly submerged bushes and rocky shelves that form the lake’s shifting shoreline. According to the Lake Mead, Nevada Daily Fishing Report podcast, stripers are pushing bait balls early, especially around Boulder Basin and the Overton Arm. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are seguing deeper midday, stacking along humps and submerged brush in the 18–30 foot range. Fish activity is surprisingly high, especially at daybreak and again near sunset. Reports from the last several days mention solid striper catches, with many anglers filling limits trolling deep-diving crankbaits and casting topwater lures like Zara Spooks or pencil poppers right at first light. Cut anchovies are still the striper bait of choice for those soaking bait. Largemouth have been spotty but mostly active on drop-shot rigs and medium-diving crankbaits worked along shadow lines and submerged brush. Smallmouth bass are hitting when anglers slow-roll finesse jigs or Ned rigs along steeper rocky banks. If you’re chasing numbers, Overton Arm has been on fire, especially near Stewarts Point and the Cathedral Cove area—both fishing channels and shallow flats where stripers herd shad into tight balls. Bluegill and sunfish are hanging around the flooded reeds and rocky pockets; small worms or crappie jigs will fill a bucket if you want panfish action. No meaningful tidal swing here since Lake Mead’s a reservoir, but wind-driven water movement peaks mid- to late afternoon, and savvy anglers have been using that flow to their advantage, setting up on windblown points with anchovies for striper. Best lures right now? For stripers, it’s chrome topwaters early, white or chartreuse flukes when the sun’s high, and classic deep-diving plugs for trollers. For bass, natural-colored plastics rigged Texas or drop-shot, and any jig pattern imitating crawdad or shad. Catfish are still eating cut bait after dark, especially along the northern coves.

We're coming off a stretch of classic late-summer heat, but don't let triple digit temps fool you—Lake Mead is fishing well. As of September 1, the reservoir sits around 31% full, according to the Bureau of Reclamation. Despite lower water, fishing is strong and the water clarity is decent[U.S. Bureau of Reclamation/Colorado River Basin reports]. Weather-wise, expect sunny skies all day, highs climbing near 110°F. Winds will be light, so boating conditions are good early, but keep a close eye through the afternoon for gusts picking up. Sunrise was at 6:18 AM and sunset is set for 7:08 PM, giving nearly 13 hours of prime daylight for your trip. There’s no tidal shift out here, but water levels do fluctuate a bit with late runoff and dam releases—nothing dramatic for this weekend[Colorado River Basin]. Recent catches report solid action for **striped bass**, with plenty of school-sized fish coming in from 1-3 pounds and some linesiders topping 8 pounds for those targeting deeper water. Catfish are still biting at night and in the early morning—channel cats between 2-6 pounds, and a few larger blues getting reported. **Largemouth bass** have been more active along the weeds and rocky drop-offs, especially at sunrise, while smallmouth still lurk closer to structure. Anglers are reporting decent numbers of panfish—especially bluegill—around marina docks. For **stripers**, anglers recommend trolling or casting **shad imitations**, Kastmasters, or live anchovies. The last few days, topwater plugs have been drawing boils near Boulder Basin and Kingman Wash right at dawn. Catfish chasers are sticking to cut bait, shrimp, and chicken livers. If you’re chasing bass, throw a chartreuse spinnerbait or soft plastics—especially darker-colored worms and craws—around submerged brush and rocky points. Don’t forget: keep your lures matching what the baitfish here look like, mainly shad or bluegill. Russell Graves' angling advice is spot-on: tune tackle for the local forage and be ready to adjust as fish switch between chasing shad or scavenging bottom[findfarmcredit.com]. Fish activity peaks twice: closest to dawn and then again at dusk. Stripers are boiling most actively around first light, so get out early if you want numbers. By midday, deeper trolling is your friend, with downriggers set between 30-60 feet. Bass and panfish hold tighter to shade and structure as the sun climbs. Hot spots this week include: - **Boulder Basin**: Stripers and bass chasing shad early mornings near drop-offs. - **Kingman Wash**: Good for stripers surface feeds and solid catfish after dark around the rocky banks. - **Government Wash**: Reliable for bass, especially tossing soft plastics in shoreline pockets. Watch for diving gulls—they're your natural fish finders, especially when stripers push shad to the surface.

The last few days, topwater plugs have been drawing boils near Boulder Basin and Kingman Wash right at dawn. Catfish chasers are sticking to cut bait, shrimp, and chicken livers. If you’re chasing bass, throw a chartreuse spinnerbait or soft plastics—especially darker-colored worms and craws—around submerged brush and rocky points. Don’t forget: keep your lures matching what the baitfish here look like, mainly shad or bluegill. Russell Graves' angling advice is spot-on: tune tackle for the local forage and be ready to adjust as fish switch between chasing shad or scavenging bottom[findfarmcredit.com]. Fish activity peaks twice: closest to dawn and then again at dusk. Stripers are boiling most actively around first light, so get out early if you want numbers. By midday, deeper trolling is your friend, with downriggers set between 30-60 feet. Bass and panfish hold tighter to shade and structure as the sun climbs. Hot spots this week include: - **Boulder Basin**: Stripers and bass chasing shad early mornings near drop-offs. - **Kingman Wash**: Good for stripers surface feeds and solid catfish after dark around the rocky banks. - **Government Wash**: Reliable for bass, especially tossing soft plastics in shoreline pockets. Watch for diving gulls—they're your natural fish finders, especially when stripers push shad to the surface.

We’re stepping into September under a blazing sun and long, dry spell. According to Coyote Gulch’s recent report, the Colorado Basin—including Lake Mead—has seen higher-than-normal temperatures and a weak monsoon so far. The rain’s been scarce, so reservoirs are low and water’s clear, with not much runoff coloring things up. Expect hot afternoons, light winds, and smoky skies from western wildfires hanging in the air, which can both spook and settle the fish as the daylight changes. **Sunrise** hit around 6:18 a.m., and **sunset** will be close to 7:05 p.m. No tides out here, but with water levels at late-summer lows, shorelines are exposed and you’ll find baitfish pushing tight to deeper ledges and submerged brush. The bite has been classic late-summer tough in the middle of the day, but don’t let that stop you. Early morning and just before dusk are your **prime windows**—get out there with topwater lures at first light. Local bass hunters on TikTok and in the marinas report big largemouth and striped bass schooling on shad; Z-Man ChatterBaits, soft jerkbaits, and poppers have been pulling in good numbers at dawn before the heat really sets in. Once the sun gets high, drop down with deep-diving crankbaits, Carolina rigs with watermelon or green pumpkin plastics, or even live shad if you’ve got it. Catfishing is still worth your time, especially at night. Country Hookers reminds us that sturdy rigs baited with cut anchovy, chicken liver, or stinkbait near rocky dropoffs can yield nice channel and blue cats—reports have a few double-digit fish landed off the western coves this week. Bring a lantern and keep close to shore structure where cats are hunting for leftovers. Trout are a tougher find in this heat, pushed deep and lethargic. Your best shot is targeting cooler inflows up at Willow Beach early with PowerBait or small spinners, but don’t expect any big numbers until the water cools. **Recent catches** - Striper schools are busting shad off Boulder Beach and near Hemenway early. Average fish have been 2–5 pounds with the occasional double-digit slab. - Largemouth are a challenge midday but fish up to 4 pounds have been landed using shaky heads and Senkos in deep brush piles. - Catfish activity is on the rise at night; best results from the Overton Arm and deeper coves. - Panfish and crappie reports are thin—most anglers are targeting bass or cats right now. **Hot spots** - Boulder Beach: Topwater and cranks first light for stripers, decent bass holding below the surface. - Government Wash: Classic staging area for stripers; deep points and rocky fingers are money around sunset. - Overton Arm: Best for catfish at night and a solid shot at larger stripers cruising the edges.

Today’s sunrise broke at 6:12 a.m., painting the lake with a pink hue, and we’re set for a steamy high around 101° by mid-afternoon. Skies are clear, and while there’s no tide, dropping water levels—down as of late August—translate to more visible structure and some narrow shallows in the coves. Air remains dry with a light breeze, and sunset will offer relief about 7:18 p.m. Recent reports, including the Lake Mead Nevada Fishing Report Daily podcast, lay it out: the bite’s been hot for stripers, largemouth and smallmouth bass, and channel cats. Stripers are busting shad early, with good numbers caught near the Boulder Basin drop-offs and around Hemenway Harbor—think 2-4 pound fish with a few bigger runs every week. Bass action slowed midday with the heat, but mornings bring them up to ambush in the cover—largemouth up to 3 pounds and smallies to 2. Meanwhile, cats have been steady upriver near the Overton Arm, mostly chunky eaters averaging 2-5 pounds. Shad schools are tight and moving, especially around Government Wash and the steep walls heading towards Echo Bay, so it’s all about matching your bait to that silvery flash. Top lures include chrome and white topwater poppers at dawn, followed by soft plastic flukes for bass as the sun climbs. For stripers, local pros are throwing 3” to 5” swimbaits, especially those with a bit of blue and silver, or trolling medium-diving crankbaits along main-lake points. Catfish chasers, stick to cut anchovy or chicken livers—drifted deep after dark is money. If you want a couple of hot spots to maximize your chances: - Hemenway Harbor: Early striper activity crashing the bait, and solid bass near shallow submerged brush. - Government Wash: Largemouth and smallmouth pushing bait up against the rocks in the morning, decent numbers around drop-offs by late evening. - Overton Arm: Channel cats are the main target here, and if you soak bait after sunset you’ll get bit. Word on the bank is to start early, hydrate often, and take care with footing—those rocks get slick and, as local safety reports warn, Lake Mead’s changing waterline means new hazards cropping up, so keep an eye out. So grab your best white or shad-pattern lures, stock up on anchovies for cats, and beat the heat with an early start. Thanks for tuning into your daily Lake Mead scoop with Artificial Lure.

Weather’s starting out warm—expect a high just over 100 degrees, with early morning temps in the low 80s and a light southerly breeze picking up by midday. Skies are clear, so wear your sun gear and hydrate. Sunrise lit up the water at 6:10 AM and sunset won’t hit until 7:10 PM, giving you long stretches to chase whatever’s biting. Tidal influence isn’t a big factor here, but falling water levels have shifted some structures recently. Lake Mead’s up about 10 feet over last month, so some old points and coves are holding fish again after a dry spell. Striped bass are still the main story—mornings and late evenings are your best bets. Folks working shad-pattern topwater baits and silver spoons around open water near Boulder Basin and Hemenway Point are seeing good action. According to local reports and the latest from the Lake Mead Daily Fishing Report podcast, plenty of anglers are limiting out on stripers in the 2 to 4-pound range, with a handful over 8 pounds showing up on live shad and deep-diving crankbaits. Largemouth and smallmouth bass have bumped a little deeper as the water heats up, especially mid-day. Early in the morning, they’re sliding up shallow, crushing topwaters like chartreuse shad-colored poppers and walking baits. As the sun climbs, you’ll need to drop soft plastics—think watermelon or green pumpkin worms—down to brush piles or submerged rocks in 18 to 25 feet. Hot spots locals are talking about include Echo Bay (where a variety of species, even the odd catfish, are taking cut bait off the bottom) and the Overton Arm, especially around any fresh structure or flooded brush. Channel cats are steady, with night anglers hauling in a good mix using cut mackerel and shrimp off points and coves along the northern reaches. Fish weighing 3 to 8 pounds aren’t uncommon if you set up before sunset and stay late. When it comes to bait, nothing beats live shad for stripers if you can get it. Otherwise, frozen anchovies and sardines will keep you hooked up. For bass, soft plastics and jigs work best once the sun gets up. If you’re committed to shore fishing, toss a spinnerbait or small swimbait close to submerged sticks at first and last light. Best lures: Topwater poppers, walking baits in shad patterns, soft plastics in green or watermelon, silver spoons for deep stripers, and heavy jigs for the midday bite. Chartreuse shad is especially productive right now in lower light—that color stands out and draws aggressive strikes, according to local tackle talk and the folks at Big League Bait Co. A couple of the current hot spots: - Boulder Basin—early stripers and steady bass near the boat launch, especially on structure recently covered by the rising water. - Echo Bay—multi-species action throughout the day, lots of shore access, and some bigger catfish possibilities after dark. - Overton Arm—more structure and cover as the water comes up, with shallow This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Weather at first light is calm and cool, about 76°F, with highs pushing toward 94°F by the afternoon and just a hint of breeze picking up midday. The air is crisp this morning after our recent heatwave eased off, so it’s prime time for early birds. Expect sunrise at 6:15 a.m. and sunset rolling in just after 7:13 p.m. No tides out here, but the falling lake level is more noticeable day by day, so watch those launch ramps and stay smart about where you park your boat—some are high and dry, per updates from Instagram and Nevada Fish Reports. Fishing has stayed steady through late August, though low water continues to shift the game. Reports all week from Nevada Fish Reports and the Mohave Fishing Club: water’s hovering in the high 70s, but clarity is surprisingly good for this time of summer. Catfish are on the prowl at night, no doubt responding to that gradual drop in water temps. Striped bass action is the centerpiece lately. Locals trolling the Boulder Basin and Government Wash at dawn and dusk have been cashing in. Anglers fishing shad-pattern swimbaits, chrome Rat-L-Traps, and good old white bucktail jigs are catching limits of schoolies (1-3 pounds), with the occasional 5-7 pound bruiser pulled from deeper water first thing in the morning. The best bite is between 6:30 and 8:30 a.m., so don’t wait for your coffee to finish brewing. For largemouth and smallmouth bass, things are picking up along cliff walls and rocky points. Soft plastics are king—think watermelon Senkos and green pumpkin drop shots thrown around submerged brush and rocky outcrops. Bassmaster recently spotlighted finesse tactics for Lake Mead, and that’s holding true now: fish slow and work every shady pocket between Temple Bar and Sand Island. A few locals even reported solid topwater bites early, with poppers and walking baits drawing explosive strikes on overcast mornings. Catfishers are finding steady action at night, drifting chicken liver and cut anchovy near the Vegas Wash and around Hemenway Harbor. Average channel cats are running 2-4 pounds, but there’s always a shot at a bigger fish after dark. Bluegill are still active for the kids near Echo Bay, with worms and mealworms around dock pilings producing a mess of hand-sized fish. Recent catches logged by area guides show a good mix: striped bass by the dozen, with the best bags coming from anglers who combine trolling with vertical jigging over deep bait schools. Largemouth are fewer but heavier, and a couple of five-pounders turned up this week for patient anglers flipping Senkos. Best hot spots right now: - Boulder Basin, especially along the island drop-offs—top choice for both stripers and bass. - Government Wash for numbers of smaller stripers and for reliable catfish action at night. - Temple Bar area remains a quality bet for anyone targeting smallmouth on rocky ledges.

No need to set your alarm too early today—sunrise is rolling in around 6:07 AM and sunset will touch the horizon near 7:19 PM, giving us a solid window of daylight to hit the water. The weather this morning is dry, with temps starting off in the low 80s and forecasted to rise into the high 90s by the afternoon. Southern Nevada has finally dipped under triple digits for the first time since July, so anglers will appreciate cooler air and less risk of heat exhaustion out on the boat, according to KTNV Channel 13 News. Water levels remain stubbornly low as Lake Mead sits at less than a third of its usual capacity, and inflows continue to struggle, down to about 12% of the average for July. With no recent rain and a warmer, drier fall predicted by the Bureau of Reclamation, expect less runoff and overly clear water, which means fish are spooky and on the move. Don’t let the low water fool you, though; fish are biting if you know where to look. Stripers remain king out here, with most catches reported in the early morning at coves around Boulder Basin and near Government Wash. Anglers this week pulled in striped bass between 2 and 4 pounds, especially trolling live anchovies and cut shad near drop-offs. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are showing up around rocky outcrops and submerged structure by the Vegas Wash outflow, hitting finesse rigs and jerkbaits just after dawn. If you’re looking for numbers, expect quality over quantity—striped bass boils have slowed since July, but patient casting will reward you with solid fish. Recent reports say crappie and the occasional catfish are showing up deeper in the western fingers, mostly early or near sunset. Top lures right now are all about subtle presentations. Tournament anglers are leaning heavily on the Berkley Dime, a tight-wobbling crankbait that excels at 4-6 feet where bass cruise before the sun climbs. If you’re drop-shot fishing, Berkley’s PowerBait MaxScent Flat Worms are still ruling Lake Mead and clear water, drawing bites from lethargic bass. The Flat Worm’s natural action and MaxScent formula close deals when fish are lock-jawed. For live bait, anchovies and threadfin shad are the gold standard for stripers and cats. If you prefer fresh bait, worms and small crustaceans are pulling in a few sunfish and crappie from shaded coves. Best bets for hotspots: - **Boulder Basin**—Early striper action whether trolling or casting topwater during sunrise. - **Government Wash**—Consistent numbers with cut bait and crankbaits. - **Vegas Wash outflow**—Sneaky bass action near rocky structure, especially just before noon. - **Sentinel Island**—Late afternoon is producing smallmouth and crappie for patient anglers working finesse plastics. Tip for today: Work the edges of deeper channels and target shaded rock piles as fish are seeking cooler, oxygenated water.

The sun rose bright over the basin this morning at 6:04 AM, and we’re expecting it to set this evening around 7:25 PM. The weather is classic late August: it started out in the mid-70s at dawn, heating up toward the low 90s by midday. It’s dry as ever, with only a gentle southern breeze brushing the coves. No tidal movement to report, but with water temperatures in the mid-80s and the lake level up over 10 feet compared to early summer, conditions are drawing in both boaters and fishers eager to make the most of the current window. Reports from South Cove and the Boulder Basin have been positive—anglers have been landing good numbers of striped bass, plenty of largemouths in the shallower pockets, and some chunky catfish after dark. Striped bass have been especially active the past couple days; a handful of boats yesterday limited out by noon with fish in the 3-6 pound range, using topwater walking baits early then switching to spoons and swimbaits as the sun climbed higher. Seth Feider’s recent clip showed bass busting on shad out near the open basin, so don’t overlook the feeding frenzies if you see birds working the surface. Largemouths are pushing up tight to brush and rocky points at first light, inhaling soft plastics and spinnerbaits. Locals have put the most fish in the boat on watermelon red-flake Senkos and smoke-colored swimbaits. If you prefer live bait, shad and anchovies are the ticket—especially after the sun gets high and the bite slows on artificials. Catfish action is picking up at dusk and holding through the night. Cut anchovies, chicken liver, or stink baits fished on a simple slip rig have put some solid channels and the occasional blue cat in coolers, particularly near the backs of the coves with a bit of current. The South Cove area is a hot spot for multi-species action right now, and Echo Bay’s submerged structure is drawing some bigger stripers if you’re set up for trolling. The narrows west of Government Wash are also good for numbers of smaller bass, especially if you’re kayak fishing or working the banks. Water clarity is decent, though still a little stained in some coves following last week’s monsoon cells. That means brighter or noisier lures tend to stand out and draw strikes. Boat ramps are open and traffic is steady but not overwhelming—just watch for afternoon chop if a monsoon rolls through, as quick-moving storms can blow up fast around here. We’re officially in late-summer patterns: fish are feeding in short windows at dawn and dusk, then sliding deeper to ride out the midday sun. Times of peak activity today should be right at first light and again after 7 PM, as cooler water pulls baitfish into the shallows. Thanks for tuning in and good luck if you’re heading out!

Sun, 24 Aug 2025 07:38:41 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI Good morning from Lake Mead—this is Artificial Lure with your Sunday August 24th local angling rundown. The sun rose bright over the basin this morning at 6:04 AM, and we’re expecting it to set this evening around 7:25 PM. The weather is classic late August: it started out in the mid-70s at dawn, heating up toward the low 90s by midday. It’s dry as ever, with only a gentle southern breeze brushing the coves. No tidal movement to report, but with water temperatures in the mid-80s and the lake level up over 10 feet compared to early summer, conditions are drawing in both boaters and fishers eager to make the most of the current window. Reports from South Cove and the Boulder Basin have been positive—anglers have been landing good numbers of striped bass, plenty of largemouths in the shallower pockets, and some chunky catfish after dark. Striped bass have been especially active the past couple days; a handful of boats yesterday limited out by noon with fish in the 3-6 pound range, using topwater walking baits early then switching to spoons and swimbaits as the sun climbed higher. Seth Feider’s recent clip showed bass busting on shad out near the open basin, so don’t overlook the feeding frenzies if you see birds working the surface. Largemouths are pushing up tight to brush and rocky points at first light, inhaling soft plastics and spinnerbaits. Locals have put the most fish in the boat on watermelon red-flake Senkos and smoke-colored swimbaits. If you prefer live bait, shad and anchovies are the ticket—especially after the sun gets high and the bite slows on artificials. Catfish action is picking up at dusk and holding through the night.

We’ve got classic late-August desert conditions setting the stage for a solid day of fishing. Surface temps right now are running in the high 60s, which is keeping the bite active, especially in the early morning when that water’s got a little chill, according to Nevada Fish Reports. Water levels have risen a good 10 feet since spring, adding a fresh edge to some of folks’ favorite haunts—the ramp at Callville Bay is still clear but getting a little shallow, so use care when launching, especially with bigger rigs. Today’s weather is holding steady: expect clear skies, little to no wind, and highs pushing into the mid-90s. A slight pre-dawn breeze is keeping it comfortable for those tossing topwaters before the sun peaks. Speaking of which, sunrise hit at 6:07 this morning and sunset isn’t until 7:22 tonight, giving plenty of daylight for chasing those linesides. No tidal swings to speak of here—it’s all about that steady reservoir water. Bass anglers are reporting “consistently good” action right out of the gate. Largemouth are hugging rocky points and submerged brush in about 8–16 feet, looking for shad schools. Best bets: soft plastics in watermelon with red flake, and if you’re working deep, try drop-shotting a robo worm. Topwater bite right now is best during that golden hour; poppers and walking baits in bone or ghost shad patterns are turning some nice fish along the Boulder Basin early. Reports from the last 48 hours have multiple three-pounders caught at Government Wash and Boulder Harbor. If you’re on the prowl for striper, the bite remains strong. Anglers working the narrows between Hemenway and the old Boulder launch are finding steady schools chasing shad—lucky folks tossing Kastmasters, jigging spoons, and white swimbaits have been hauling in solid numbers, many in the 2–4 pound class with the occasional six-plus. Cut anchovy remains the go-to bait if you’re soaking lines, especially overnight or in the twilight hours. According to Nevada Fish Reports, the early morning boils have been impressive—have a shad imitation tied on and be ready to chase the action. Catfish catches are on the upswing in the shallows after sunset—bring some stinkbait or raw chicken livers, and try the back coves near Las Vegas Bay. Bluegill and crappie are mixed in around the submerged willow trees closer to Echo Bay, hitting mealworms and small jigs with kids getting plenty of action off the docks. A couple of hot spots to circle today: try the mouth of Las Vegas Bay just outside the marker buoys before boat traffic picks up; the striper schools are stacking deep there. Another consistent spot is the Hemenway Wall—work shallow for bass at sunrise, then slide deeper as the sun climbs. Before you hit the water, remember all Nevada life jackets are half off at North 40 Outfitters until the end of the month, so suit up and stay safe out there.

Sunrise was 6:04 AM this morning, and sunset will be at 7:29 PM. Skies are mostly clear as of daybreak, with early temps right around 82°F, cooling a bit with light breezes from the southwest. It’ll top out near 104°F by late afternoon—classic southern Nevada scorcher. Tie on the sunscreen and keep hydrated, especially if you’re out for a long morning bite. With the full pool elevation at 1,229 feet, Lake Mead’s water level is holding at about 1,055 feet according to Lake Mead Water Level monitoring, with a slight rise of 0.05 feet since yesterday as the drought conditions remain steady. Water clarity is fair in the main basin; expect some light algae near the shore, especially on the southern coves. Now, there’s no tide in these desert reservoirs, but fish movement has absolutely synced to daylight hours and the cooling effect of wind. Early hours and the last hour before sunset keep yielding the best results, especially with a bit of chop on the water. Fishing reports from the last couple days say the striped bass are hot right now. Anglers have been landing stripers up to 7 pounds, mostly near Boulder Basin and Government Wash. Schoolies are boiling on shad from dawn till about 8:30. Live shad and anchovies remain the go-to bait, but more folks are seeing good fish hitting artificial lures—chrome Kastmasters, white bucktail jigs, and topwater poppers if you’re chasing boiling fish. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are active around rocky points and submerged brush, especially in Temple Bar and along the narrows above Callville Bay. Soft plastic baits in watermelon and green pumpkin have gotten the most bites this week, rigged Texas-style. Early risers landed a few smallmouth over 3 pounds near the cliff walls using natural-colored tube jigs and chartreuse spinnerbaits. Catfish activity has picked up after dark this week, mostly at the mouths of coves and around drop-offs, taking cut bait and chicken livers. For panfish hunters, bluegill and a few crappie are hanging tight in shallow grass around Echo Bay. Mealworms and small nightcrawlers under slip bobbers will do the trick. Best hot spots to try today: - Boulder Basin: Striper boils, plenty of action at sunup with live shad and popping lures. - Temple Bar: Bass hugging points and submerged wood, particularly early or in late evening. - Government Wash: Steady striper numbers; fish shallow flats during early morning, deeper drop-offs nearer noon. If you’re headed out, remember temperatures rise fast. Early and late are best for active fish and safer, comfortable fishing. With water levels remaining steady, expect structure and drop-offs to hold fish as shad move deeper mid-day. Watch out for algae patches near shore—stripers and bass will hold just outside the scum line. That’s it for today’s Lake Mead report.

We kicked off the morning under a pink-dusted sky, with sunrise officially at 6:01 AM and tonight’s sunset coming in at 7:33 PM. The weather’s starting warm and clear, with temperatures climbing to almost triple digits by noon—a typical late-summer scorcher for Southern Nevada. Winds are light early but could pick up by midday, so boaters, keep a lookout for those gusts, especially near open water. Lake Mead doesn’t get proper ocean-style tides, but changes in water levels from upstream dam releases and wind-driven surges affect fish movement most near channel mouths and coves. Water clarity is decent, with some light algae growth in shallow bays, especially mid-morning. Fish activity has been solid. This week saw a classic mix of Lake Mead staples: lots of striped bass, steady largemouth bass, and a handful of channels and flathead catfish. The striped bass are working bait balls hard, with some wild surface boils popping off just after sun-up around the Boulder Basin and the Vegas Wash. According to local sources, several anglers pulled in limits of stripers over the weekend, most in the 1–3 lb range, with a few pushing 5 lbs near South Cove. Bass fishing has been productive along rocky points and submerged brush—bass have been hitting drop-shot rigs and plastic worms, especially in shades of watermelon and green pumpkin. During the morning, spinnerbaits and crankbaits worked well near Temple Bar. Catfish bites have picked up in the evenings, with stink bait and chicken livers getting the most action near Hemenway Harbor and the backs of coves. Several 10–15 lb cats were landed last night according to dock talk. The best lures right now for stripers are still the trusty shad-imitating swimbaits, topwater walkers like a Zara Spook, and silver spoons worked fast right through the boils. For live bait, threadfin shad and anchovies are tops—especially when fished deep after the sun gets up. Local pros recommend using live shad or anchovies to really dial in those bigger stripers according to the latest bait selection tips. If you’re launching early, head toward South Cove. The bite there is steady for both stripers and largemouth, and it’s easy to find small coves to tuck into if the wind picks up. Temple Bar remains a local hotspot, especially in the afternoons—bass and stripers push bait tight to shore, so cast shallow and retrieve quick. Shad schools are thick this week, and wherever you find the bait, you’ll find predatory action. Don’t be shy about following the birds, either—gulls and terns know where the feed is freshest. Quick reminders: Katherine Landing Fishing Pier is now open after repairs—so shore anglers looking for catfish and panfish can hit it with nightcrawlers or dough baits. Water conditions are changing daily with regional storms, so keep an eye on boat access and debris near harbor mouths.

We’re waking up to a classic desert dawn: sunrise hit at 5:59AM, golden light shimmering off the lake’s low profile due to ongoing drought. Expect temps climbing fast—starting near 83°F and heading towards triple digits by late morning. Winds are light early, picking up to 10-15 MPH after noon. No tidal movement here (Lake Mead’s a reservoir!), but falling lake levels mean lots of exposed structure and pushed-in weed beds. The ongoing Level 1 Shortage Condition means Lake Mead’s elevation sits around 1,055.9 feet. Water clarity is fair, with some algae bloom kicking up near the Overton Arm and Boulder Basin. These hot, low-water days have a real impact—the fish are adapting, and so should we. According to Spreaker’s Lake Mead Fishing Report Daily, largemouth and smallmouth bass are hugging deeper structure once the sun climbs. Your best window for bass is first light, with midday activity dropping off fast. Anglers reporting this week are seeing stripers on the move, chasing shad out in open water right at dawn—a classic Lake Mead August pattern. The bite has been brisk near the mouth of Vegas Wash and along the drop-offs outside Government Wash. Stripers averaging 2-5 pounds are being hauled in, with lucky sticks scoring double-digit catches on good mornings. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are scattered deeper: 18 to 30 feet is the target zone, particularly near submerged brush and shaded coves. Fish are mainly in the 1.5 to 3 pound range, but a few bruisers over 5 have come from the narrows between Boulder Basin and Las Vegas Bay in the last two days. Channel catfish are lurking around the Overton Arm and Temple Bar, with solid bites in the evening on cut bait and stink baits. For panfish, bluegill and redear sunfish are biting around the reeds, especially in coves with good shade early and late. Kids have been filling buckets near Echo Bay—always a good spot for family action. So what’s working? Best lures right now: - For stripers: **white flukes, shad-pattern swimbaits**, and deep-running crankbaits. Trolling umbrella rigs with soft plastics has been deadly. - For bass: Go with **green pumpkin drop-shot rigs**, finesse worms, and jigging spoon. If you’re up for magic, try the Ocea Full Throttle 190F Jet Boost for that non-stop jerk—Shimano calls it a game-changer for triggering sluggish summer fish. - For catfish, the old ways rule: **cut shad, chicken liver**, and commercial stink baits. - Panfish are hitting **small jigs tipped with worms or mealworms**. Hot spots you shouldn’t miss: - **Government Wash**—for early striper boils and a surprisingly reliable bass bite at first light. - **Echo Bay**—the launch site for bluegill and occasional heavy catfish, plus good bass structure off the main points. - **Temple Bar**—is tough to beat for evening catfish, especially right after sunset, which d This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Sunrise rolled in at about 5:56 AM, and we’re expecting sunset right around 7:36 PM, giving us a nice, long summer day to work the water. No tides to speak of on the lake, so focus is all on weather, water, and tactics. This morning kicked off warm and clear with temps starting out near 80 degrees before climbing sharply. Expect highs near triple digits again today, with light to moderate southern winds picking up into the afternoon. The Bureau of Reclamation and recent local news outlets are warning about persistent drought in the basin, and water levels remain low—Lake Mead sits close to 1,055 feet. Reduced inflow means more shoreline exposed, creating new structure but also pushing bait and gamefish tighter to the points and deeper coves. Striped bass have been active at first light and last light, busting shad schools in the Boulder Basin and Echo Bay areas. Anglers trolling deep-diving plugs and casting topwater walking baits like Zara Spooks have reported solid limits at dawn. Later in the day, jigging spoon bites pick up in around 40–70 feet of water. The river channel edges near Temple Bar have held bigger fish—one group boated five stripers over 6 pounds yesterday using live shad. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are fairly steady with the high summer temps. Professional angler Todd Kline, in his recent Power-Pole Lake Breakdown, recommends working Texas-rigged plastics in watermelon or green pumpkin for the deeper ledges, and downsizing to finesse jigs when the bite gets tough. Ned rigs and drop shots are excellent around submerged rock piles, especially mid-morning once bass move deeper. Spinnerbaits retrieved parallel to flooded brush produced a couple of solid 3-pounders yesterday near Government Wash. Catfish action is best after dark on cut baits—chicken liver and anchovies remain local favorites. The Overton Arm and Stewarts Point have produced channel cats up to 8 pounds this week. Bluegill and sunfish are plentiful in the marinas—tiny bits of worm or mealworm under a slip bobber are deadly for family action. Your best bets for today: - For stripers, Echo Bay and Boulder Basin early with topwaters and spoons. - For bass, target Temple Bar and Government Wash with plastics and small jigs. - For cats, try Stewarts Point or Overton with stink bait right after sunset. Bait of choice for stripers is live shad or, where legal, trolled anchovies. For bass, jerkbaits at dawn and soft plastics midday are bringing home the most bites. Locals are reporting chrome and blue crankbaits in the shallower cuts catching bonus walleye just before dusk. No record-setters this week, but plenty of healthy limits caught—whether you’re trolling channels or flipping brush, stay mindful of the heat, bring extra water, and keep an eye out for new structure exposed by the drop in waterline.

Anglers trolling deep-diving plugs and casting topwater walking baits like Zara Spooks have reported solid limits at dawn. Later in the day, jigging spoon bites pick up in around 40–70 feet of water. The river channel edges near Temple Bar have held bigger fish—one group boated five stripers over 6 pounds yesterday using live shad. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are fairly steady with the high summer temps. Professional angler Todd Kline, in his recent Power-Pole Lake Breakdown, recommends working Texas-rigged plastics in watermelon or green pumpkin for the deeper ledges, and downsizing to finesse jigs when the bite gets tough. Ned rigs and drop shots are excellent around submerged rock piles, especially mid-morning once bass move deeper. Spinnerbaits retrieved parallel to flooded brush produced a couple of solid 3-pounders yesterday near Government Wash. Catfish action is best after dark on cut baits—chicken liver and anchovies remain local favorites. The Overton Arm and Stewarts Point have produced channel cats up to 8 pounds this week. Bluegill and sunfish are plentiful in the marinas—tiny bits of worm or mealworm under a slip bobber are deadly for family action. Your best bets for today: - For stripers, Echo Bay and Boulder Basin early with topwaters and spoons. - For bass, target Temple Bar and Government Wash with plastics and small jigs. - For cats, try Stewarts Point or Overton with stink bait right after sunset. Bait of choice for stripers is live shad or, where legal, trolled anchovies. For bass, jerkbaits at dawn and soft plastics midday are bringing home the most bites. Locals are reporting chrome and blue crankbaits in the shallower cuts catching bonus walleye just before dusk. No record-setters this week, but plenty of healthy limits caught—whether you’re trolling channels or flipping brush, stay mindful of the heat, bring extra water, and keep an eye out for new structure exposed by the drop in waterline. With these changing conditions, hot spots can shift fast, so stay mobil This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 251 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI3775445246 Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure with your August 15 Lake Mead fishing report. The sun broke over the Nevada hills at 5:59 AM, and you can expect another classic desert summer day—hot, dry, and wind picking up as the afternoon rolls in. It's going to sizzle, with high temps climbing well into the 100s by midday. Water levels remain exceptionally low and on the drop, as echoed by local boaters and fishermen. Shoreline has crept back even further, exposing more dry ground and that famous “bathtub ring.” With these conditions, water temps are equally scorching, running in the low- to mid-80s on the surface by late morning. Don’t let the heat fool you, though. The early bite has been best. The past few days, sunrise to about 9:00 AM was prime time before both fish and anglers hunkered down in deeper, cooler water. Striped bass continue to be the main ticket. Local YouTubers out yesterday noted action was steady but not on fire—likely owing to the climbing water temps and falling lake levels. Stripers are schooling around deeper main-lake points and near submerged structure, especially in areas where shad are pushing up. Both Willow Beach and Government Wash saw good early action, with Echo Bay continuing to deliver for the persistent. Don’t overlook large mouth bass, though they’re a little sluggish in the bathwater temps. Anglers picking up hookups are mostly targeting them deeper—think ledges and steeper drop-offs—using weighted soft plastics like watermelon Zoom worms or drop-shot rigs. Recent reports from regulars show stripers up to eight pounds caught, with plenty of smaller ones in the one- to three-pound class filling out stringers. The shad schools are scattered, but if you’re lucky enough to find the bait, the action can be quick and furious. A few hefty catfish are being dragged out, especially at night on cut bait between Hemenway Harbor and the Boulder Islands. Bluegill remain plentiful in the marinas and around submerged brush. For best results right now, stick with these lures and methods: - Early morning, try topwater lures for stripers—Zara Spooks or Whopper Ploppers get explosive strikes before the sun’s fully up. - Once the sun is high, switch to jigging spoons or Kastmasters in chrome or white, cast deep off points or submerged humps. - Swimbaits imitating shad also produce, especially in open water where fish are chasing bait. - For largemouth, weighted Texas rigs, jigs in crawfish colors, and drop shots with Roboworms are all drawing strikes below 20 feet. - Cut anchovies and chicken livers remain the catfish and striper bait of choice—bring a cooler for your catch, because the heat hits hard. Before launching, keep an eye out for any posted advisories—yesterday, the National Park Service reminded folks to steer clear of visible blue-green algae blooms. Rinse your catch with clean water and keep pets away from the edge.

Artificial Lure reporting on the water conditions and fishing action for Wednesday, August 13, 2025. We started off with a calm, clear sunrise at 5:58 AM and the weather today looks textbook summer: temps climbing into the upper 90s by midday, with light southerly breezes picking up after noon. The heat is sticking around, so bring plenty of water and sun protection. Expect sunset around 7:38 PM. Water levels remain low—Lake Mead's measured at 1054.40 feet above sea level yesterday afternoon, which is about 174 feet below the historical full pool, according to Lakes Online. With these low levels, shoreline structure is changing quickly, but anglers have reported surprisingly active fish with the steady pattern of this week’s weather. There’s no tidal influence here in the desert, but moon phase does play a role. Today, we’re coming off a waxing crescent, with steady nighttime temps in the 80s that keep the fish moving early and late. Fish activity has been solid, especially for those beating the heat at first and last light. Largemouth bass have been the headline catcher again this week. In Todd Kline’s latest Lake Mead breakdown, anglers reported good catches on spinnerbaits and crankbaits fished near drop-offs and submerged brush—hot spots include Government Wash and Boulder Basin. According to outdooractionplan.com, spinnerbaits and crankbaits are the go-to in these warm conditions, with shad-colored or chartreuse patterns turning more strikes. Striped bass action has picked up near the Vegas Wash outflow and Echo Bay, where anchovy chunks and cut bait have done real work. Anglers are boating anything from school-size stripers to fish running five pounds, with a few double-digit brutes reported on trolled deep diving plugs mid-lake. Smallmouth bass are still hanging tight around rocky points and ledges, hitting soft plastics like craws and tubes in natural colors. If you’re new to Mead, drop-shot rigs with green pumpkin or smoke grubs produce reliable numbers around the Temple Bar area. Catfish are moving a bit deeper with the heat but night anglers working chicken liver or stink bait along steep drop-offs in the Hemenway Harbor area have landed channel cats up to 8 pounds in the last couple nights. Best bait and lures this week: - Spinnerbaits and crankbaits in shad or chartreuse for largemouth - Cut anchovy and deep-diving plugs for stripers - Soft plastic tubes and craws for smallies Hot spots to consider: - Government Wash: early AM for bass and stripers - Boulder Basin drop-offs: steady bites most of the day, especially with structure exposure due to low water - Echo Bay: striper action heating up in deep water - Temple Bar: smallmouth and decent-sized largemouth right near those rocky points No matter where you launch, pay close attention to those ever-changing shorelines—Lake Mead's low levels mean new hazards and new fishing structure daily.

Anglers out on the lake today are kicking off under classic desert summer conditions—expect clear skies, blazing sun, and daytime highs edging into the upper 90s with a light wind to stir the surface. Humidity is low thanks to our dry August, and recent conditions are mirroring yesterday’s persistent heat. Water levels remain lower than in years past, a trend noted by USGS researchers due to a long drought, making for warmer water and changing shoreline patterns. Sunrise hit at 5:53 AM, with sunset giving you fishing light until 7:40 PM. Target species this week continue to be the steady trio: **striped bass**, **largemouth bass**, and **catfish**. The morning bite has been best for stripers as schooling fish chase shad near Boulder Basin and Government Wash—these are two hot spots where locals are getting solid action. The South Cove area on Lake Mead’s eastern edge is also delivering, with anglers landing stripers up to 8lbs just after sunrise, and steady catches of channel catfish into the evening according to Arizona side reports. Numbers-wise, the catch rate per angler is averaging 3–6 stripers on a good morning. Largemouth bass catch counts are lower but steady—most are in the 1–2lb range, usually found near rocky points and submerged brush in Willow Beach. Catfish remain consistent; night anglers working the shallows near Las Vegas Wash are reporting channel and blue catfish in the 2–4lb class, with a few larger blues showing up in deeper, cooler holes. For lure selection, it’s a shad imitation game for stripers—locally, folks swear by **1/2oz silver and white swimbaits** and **deep-diving crankbaits** as the go-to choice before noon. Topwater lures like **Zara Spooks** have drawn strikes just after daylight, particularly along wind-blown points. Largemouths are responding best to **soft plastic worms** in watermelon and green pumpkin rigged Texas style. Catfish are hitting on **cut shad** and **chicken liver**, with live bait still topping the charts after dark. Not seeing much fish activity shallow in the afternoon; the bite slows as the sun comes up and fish retreat deeper. If you’re out midday, troll deeper channels at 30–50 feet—stripers and larger cats are hanging low due to the rising water temps. Night fishing is productive for catfish; bring lanterns and heavy tackle. For those looking to maximize their chances, Boulder Basin’s eastern shores and the mouth of Las Vegas Wash are today’s top picks. Both places have plenty of structure and are drawing consistent schools—don’t overlook secondary drop-offs near submerged trees, especially during transitions at dawn and dusk. Remember to pack plenty of water, sun protection, and double-check your Nevada fishing license, especially near border areas—game wardens are making rounds. Make sure your gear is set: strong line for stripers and sturdy rods for those hard-pulling catfish.

We're waking up to another classic desert summer morning—sunrise hit at 5:55 am, and we’re looking at high temps that’ll break triple-digits by mid-afternoon. The sky’s mostly clear, humidity low, and the wind is starting light but will pick up from the south after noon, so best get lines wet early or plan for some late-evening action—sunset’s coming at 7:47 pm. Tidal fluctuation isn’t much of a player on the freshwaters of Mead, but the falling lake level certainly is, sitting stubbornly around 31% of full pool according to the Bureau of Reclamation and recent reports from Coyote Gulch. Let’s talk fish activity. Stripers remain the primary draw. Early birds trolling the Boulder Basin and near the Hemenway launch have found schools pushing shad to the surface just as the sun peeks over the bluffs. The key is to watch for birds dive-bombing and, if you’ve got one, put your electronics to work: as Brass To Bass demos on TikTok, “find the bait, find the fish.” The majority of striper catches this week are in the 1-4 pound range, with some bigger linesiders tipping 8 pounds reported near Temple Bar and the mouth of the Narrows. Black bass—both largemouth and smallmouth—are getting sluggish in the mid-day heat. The Lake Mead, Nevada Fishing Report podcast highlights that once that sun gets high, bass pull off the points and slide deep, holding around structure or drop-offs in 20 to 40 feet. Anglers working the early-morning topwater bite along rocky banks are having success with walking baits and poppers, but as the heat rises, switch tactics: drop-shot rigs with shad-colored plastics, football jigs, and finesse worms are the ticket. Smallmouth especially are hanging near rocky ledges and submerged brush piles. For live bait, anchovies remain the gold standard for striper—chunk a piece on a circle hook and let it drift deeper as the sun climbs. If you’re running artificials, chrome spoons, Kastmasters, or white bucktail jigs have all produced strikes, especially when you get into schooling activity. Trollers are picking off fish running deep-diving rattletraps or umbrella rigs tipped with swimbaits around 30 feet. Catfish catches are up this week, with good numbers of channel cats coming out of the Overton Arm and Callville Bay—nightcrawlers, cut baits, and stink baits have all done well after dusk. Pan fishing is more limited, but a few bluegill and redear sunfish are being caught around boat docks and shaded coves with worms or small jigs. Carp are rolling in the backwaters for anyone looking for something different. Hot spots to circle on your map: - The Boulder Basin, just off Hemenway, especially for early stripers chasing shad - Temple Bar points and the mouth of the Narrows for numbers and a chance at a trophy - Overton Arm for channel cats, especially after dark - Fishfinder’s Cove and Government Wash for smallmouth, particularly if you’re ri This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Locals are bracing for a high near 109 today, with just a thin haze in the sky and barely a breeze, so bring the sunscreen and lots of water if you’re heading out. The lake is sitting more than 7 feet lower than last year, a stark reminder of the drought that’s got everybody talking. Water levels are historically low and still dropping. These conditions mean plenty of rock outcroppings and narrowing coves—good structure for anglers, but use caution with your boat. Fishing activity on Lake Mead remains steady, especially early and late in the day when the desert heat lets up a bit. Striped bass are still the stars here, with schools busting shad near the surface at first light—classic summer topwater action. Catfish are hugging deep, cooler water, and are most active during those twilight hours and after sunset, which is officially at 7:44 PM tonight. Today, there’s no real tidal swing—Lake Mead being a reservoir means it’s all about wind, water releases, and boat action, so pay extra attention to subtle changes in current or chop from passing boats. Water clarity is lower in the back of coves thanks to all the exposed shoreline, but main lake points are running pretty clear. On the catch front, according to on-the-ground updates from the South Cove area yesterday, anglers are pulling in good numbers of striped bass, many in the 1-to-3-pound range, and reports of a few over 10 pounds for those working the boils early with chrome or white topwater plugs. Catfish catches are solid on cutbait and chicken liver fished just off the bottom in 20-40 feet at dusk. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are chasing shad along rocky points and submerged brush, best caught with shad-patterned crankbaits or soft plastics on a Texas rig. Sunfish have been active near riprap and brush piles, hitting worms and small jigs. For lures, bring your topwater arsenal for sunrise: Zara Spooks, Sammy’s, or any pencil popper in white or silver will get bit during those short boil windows. Mid-morning, switch to deep-diving crankbaits, soft plastic swimbaits, or slab spoons to reach stripers hanging in the thermocline. For catfish, it’s hard to beat a classic chunk of cut bait or shrimp on a sturdy circle hook, fished deep around Boulder Basin or near the mouth of the Overton Arm. If you’re targeting bass, green pumpkin or watermelon soft plastics have been the go-to, along with natural shad imitations if the water’s running clear. Looking for a hotspot? Boulder Harbor is always a solid bet early, with plenty of stripers schooling up off the main points—just watch your electronics for the bait balls.

Today brought all the classic late-summer action you’d expect, though anglers had to work a bit for their bites as the lake keeps dropping—Bureau of Reclamation’s last update had the reservoir at about 31% full, and the water is on the warm side. That means fish are feeling the pressure and stacking deep, searching for cooler temperatures and oxygen-rich pockets. Extra caution is key: let’s all respect fish health and minimize time spent handling catches, especially in the heat. Weather today was one for the books: blazing sun with temps nearing 107°F by the afternoon, only dropping to the high 80s at night. Little wind to speak of. We kicked off with a sunrise right around 5:52 a.m. and the sun’s not dipping below the mountains until about 7:43 p.m. With no tides to worry about on Lake Mead, the real game is in the temperature swings—and the fish have really keyed in on those low-light windows. Early birds on the lake started seeing striped bass boil activity just east of Boulder Harbor at first light. Stripers have been popping hard on shad schools, with topwater lures like Zara Spooks and Whopper Ploppers getting the most attention. Some locals got their limit in under two hours, plucking fish in the 2-4 lb range. Biggest linesider reported today was a respectable 8.2 lbs, taken near the mouth of Gypsum Wash with a silver Kastmaster. Largemouth bass anglers hit the coves near Callville Bay and scored steady action flipping Senkos and watermelon-colored brush hogs into the deeper brush piles. The clear staple: wacky-rigged soft plastics—those “no live bait needed” setups, as hyped by several TikTok anglers, are producing well. Crankbaits and small swimbaits, especially in shad and bluegill patterns, did damage during the cooler hours. Catfish are biting for those willing to brave the evening heat, with most reports coming from the Overton Arm. Chicken liver and cut anchovies once again the ticket, and several channel cats over 5 lbs came over the rail after sunset. Panfish activity, as usual for August, has slowed, but a handful of bluegill and redear came up near the Las Vegas Wash using mealworms. Carp are thick around muddy coves and biting on corn. With water levels low and warming by midday, best fishing was had by those who got out early or waited till dusk. Fish are really stacking near drop-offs and old river channels—if you’re not marking bait and arches, keep moving. For the hottest action: check out Boulder Basin near Saddle Island at sunrise for striper boils, and tuck into the shaded coves up the Muddy River inflow for largemouth late afternoon. Take care when launching—ramps are getting longer by the week. Hydrate, wear sun-pro, and don’t forget to handle those catches gently. That wraps today’s Lake Mead report.

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 22:03:49 -0000 full Inception Point AI Artificial Lure here with your Lake Mead fishing report for August 6th, 2025. Today brought all the classic late-summer action you’d expect, though anglers had to work a bit for their bites as the lake keeps dropping—Bureau of Reclamation’s last update had the reservoir at about 31% full, and the water is on the warm side. That means fish are feeling the pressure and stacking deep, searching for cooler temperatures and oxygen-rich pockets. Extra caution is key: let’s all respect fish health and minimize time spent handling catches, especially in the heat.

The desert’s putting on a show of summer heat this week—today saw clear, sunny skies with a high of 105 at the dam and a slight southern breeze topping out around 15 mph by late afternoon. If you’re heading out tonight, expect lows in the high 70s to low 80s, and it’ll stay calm and clear across the basin. Sunrise this morning hit at 5:32 a.m., with sunset coming in just after 8:01 p.m., giving us those long Vegas summer hours prime for early and late action. Lake levels are holding steady after last month’s drop, but water temps are up—hovering right around 86°F, ideal for getting those warm-water species fired up. With the clear weather and hot sun, topwater activity has been strongest at dawn and dusk, so don’t snooze on those early and late sessions. Striped bass are still the headliners at Mead. According to yesterday’s Spreaker report, anglers have found breaking schools chasing shad in open water, especially from Government Wash up to Boulder Basin. Shad-imitating swimbaits and topwater plugs like Zara Spooks and Pencil Poppers have been drawing big strikes at first and last light. Midday, switch to vertical jigging with spoons or drifting with cut anchovies—anchovy chunks are a classic and still out-fishing most live baits when the sun’s high and the stripers are suspending deeper. Largemouth and smallmouth are holding tight in structure, particularly near the submerged brush and rocky points west of Echo Bay and around Temple Bar. Soft plastics—think Senkos, curly-tail grubs, and drop-shot finesse worms—are getting the job done, especially in watermelon or green pumpkin. Crankbaits and spinnerbaits in shad or perch patterns start to shine as the breeze picks up in the afternoons. If you’re looking for catfish, night fishing from shore has been productive in coves near Las Vegas Bay and Hemingway Harbor. Stinkbaits, chicken liver, or fresh cut baits tossed near the bottom in 10-20 feet of water are taking nice channel cats, with some blues showing as well. Panfish like bluegill and crappie are active in the flooded brush along the north shore. Small jigs, mealworms, or pieces of nightcrawler under a bobber will keep the kids reeling them in. Hot spots this week: - **Government Wash**: Prime for striper boils at sunrise and sunset; cast into the fray with topwater plugs or toss a Kastmaster for numbers. - **Echo Bay**: Target smallies on the rocky points; soft plastics in the morning, reaction baits as the sun climbs. According to the Lake Mead, Nevada Daily Fishing Report, the bite’s only going to get better as those night temps stay warm and baitfish push tight to shore after dark. No need to worry about tides here, but strong winds can move baitfish—watch for those feeding frenzies when a breeze kicks up. Remember, drink plenty of water out there, protect yourself from the sun, and check your gear before you launch—fishing in This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Let’s dive right in. Today, July 6th, 2025, Lake Mead is sitting at 1,054.8 feet above sea level, according to the most recent readings. That’s well below full pool, and continued low water from the ongoing drought means structure is changing quickly—making for some interesting options if you know where to look. Steep drop-offs and deeper coves are holding the bulk of the fish as the summer heat starts to sizzle[mead.uslakes.info]. Sunrise was at 5:29 AM this morning, and sunset will slide in at 7:56 PM. Expect air temps peaking north of 110°F by midafternoon, with very little wind and no rain in sight. The summer sun is baking the shallows, so stick to early mornings or late evenings for the best bite. Lake Mead doesn’t get tidal swings, but the solunar activity forecast for today is middling—a 2 out of 5 rating—meaning you’ve really gotta be on your game to capitalize on those feeding windows[lakemonster.com]. As for the action: Striper and largemouth catches have been steady. Striped bass are schooling up in deeper open water, particularly near the Boulder Basin and the mouth of Las Vegas Bay. Anglers trolling deep-diving crankbaits or casting white and chartreuse swimbaits are reporting consistent hookups on linesides in the 2 to 4 pound range. The best bite is happening around first light and then picking up again right before dusk. Largemouth bass are hunkered down along submerged brush and rocky outcrops. Jigs in green pumpkin or black-and-blue, Texas-rigged plastics, and topwater frogs at dawn are all putting fish in the boat. Kayakers and shore casters are doing alright with weightless Senkos and small spinnerbaits tossed right up against structure. Don’t overlook the backs of coves, especially if there’s a little shade. Catfish are a solid backup plan if the bass and stripers get lockjaw. Best bets are stinkbait or cut anchovies fished after dark. According to some of the local guides, channel cats up to 8 pounds have been pulled from the deeper holes just off Hemenway Harbor and Government Wash. Crappie and bluegill reports are on the slow side, but if you’re on the hunt for panfish, try small live worms or tiny jigs near submerged brush pilings. On gear: If you’re chasing stripers, go big and go deep—heavy spoons, live shad (if you can get ‘em), or those trusty anchovies on a Carolina rig will do the trick. For bass, stay finesse and match the color to the water clarity—brighter if it’s murky, more natural if the water’s clear. Hot Spots to check today: - Boulder Basin: Striper schools are cruising and active at dawn. - Temple Bar: The ledges and drop-offs are stacked up with both largemouth and stripers. - Government Wash: Solid multi-species action, especially for cats at night.

Sunrise hit at 5:21 AM today, with sunset stretching out until 7:59 PM. No tides on Lake Mead, but you can count on the desert heat: temps are easily climbing above 100 degrees again, so plan for a prime early-morning assault or target that golden evening window. As usual, the midday sun drives both fish and folks deep or into any pocket of shade they can find. Striped bass continue to dominate the bite. Most action is coming from the Vegas Wash coves and Hemenway Harbor. Anglers are having the best luck with live shad and cut anchovies—old-school baits that never quit. For those tossing artificials, three-inch silver swimbaits are the ticket for deeper fish, while Kastmasters and Jumpin’ Minnows are fooling subsurface stripers. If you want to see a topwater blowup, nothing beats throwing a spook or popper at first light, especially if you see shad flickering on the surface; that’s when both stripers and the occasional hungry largemouth are out hunting, according to Sportsman’s Warehouse and recent updates from Spreaker. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are feeling the effects of the heat and are moving off into deeper water by mid-morning. The bite remains best along weedy shorelines and in the shade around Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor right after sunrise. Drop-shot rigs loaded with creature baits and deep-diving crankbaits are getting consistent bites. Once the sun’s up, focus your search on structure in the 20 to 30-foot range, or—this is a local tip—don’t ignore even the smallest patch of shade. One lone boulder or bush can hold a good bass all on its own. YouTube guides are echoing this: shade is survival, and that’s where the fish will be holding. Catfish action is picking up around the 33-Hole area. Night crawlers and hot dogs are landing plenty of fish, especially after dusk when the shoreline cools just enough for a bite window. Crappie seekers should work the Overton Arm with white or chartreuse jigs; recent catches are running in the 10-12 inch range—solid slabs for a warm-water lake. For lures, you can’t go wrong with a topwater bait like a Zara Spook or popper early, three-inch silver swimbaits for stripers, and drop-shot or weedless rigs for bass once the sun’s up. Glide baits and buzzbaits also have their moments, especially if you’re trying to trigger those bigger bites. Hot spots today: Vegas Wash cove entrances and Hemenway Harbor for stripers; Calville Bay weedlines for bass; and the 33-Hole for cats. Don’t overlook Overton Arm if you’re after crappie.

Sunrise greeted anglers at 5:21 AM, with sunset rolling in at 7:59 PM. The weather’s a real desert classic today, with high temps cracking the 100-degree mark under mostly clear skies. No tides to report here, but that scorching sun has a big influence—so focus your effort early and late. Bass fishing has been a bit tougher lately. With the heat, largemouth and smallmouth are heading deeper after mid-morning. The best bite has come at first light, especially along weedy shorelines near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor. Drop-shot rigs with creature baits and deep-diving crankbaits have been getting most of the action. If you’re out once the sun’s up, work those 20-30 foot depths or, even better, key in on isolated shade pockets—sometimes just a single bush or rock creates the perfect ambush spot for a bass. Striped bass are still the main draw for many. Boaters working the entrances of the Vegas Wash coves have reported steady limits on live shad and cut anchovies. Anglers hitting the water the last few days are also picking up good numbers using three-inch silver swimbaits, Kastmasters, and Jumpin' Minnows. Topwater lures like Spooks and Whopper Ploppers have earned some explosive hits during the brief low-light windows, especially if you can find active schools corralling bait. For panfish, bluegill action continues to be strong near 33-Hole, with nightcrawlers and even small pieces of hot dog bringing in slab-sized catches. Catfish are biting after sundown on cut bait. Crappie chasers should give the Overton Arm a go—white or chartreuse jigs are the top pick for the 10- to 12-inchers that have been showing up. A few local hot spots to check: - Calville Bay’s outer weedlines and rocky drop-offs for early morning bass and stripers - Entrances of Vegas Wash coves for consistent striper action - 33-Hole and the Overton Arm for panfish and catfish Best baits for the day include live shad, cut anchovies, nightcrawlers, and small silver swimbaits. Gear up with drop-shot rigs, deep cranks, and a few topwater lures—Spooks and poppers in shad patterns are hard to beat.

Sunrise threw its first light on the water at 5:21 AM and sunset will wrap things up at 7:59 PM. With temps pushing over 100 degrees today, anglers need to get out early or wait for the late evening cooldown if you want to beat the heat and catch some fish. Lake Mead doesn’t experience true oceanic tides, but fluctuating water levels and wind can create some “faux-tide” effects, especially in shallow coves, so always be mindful near drop-offs and points. Striped bass action has stayed strong, especially around the cove entrances in the Vegas Wash area. Most stripers are hitting live shad and cut anchovies, but don’t overlook three-inch silver swimbaits, Kastmasters, and Jumpin’ Minnows for those subsurface bites. According to Sportsman's Warehouse, boating anglers have reported steady limits using these baits recently. Fish are stacking up in 20 to 30 feet of water once the sun’s fully up—target those depths for your best shot. Black bass—both largemouth and smallmouth—have moved deeper thanks to the hot weather, making morning and shady spots your prime targets. Drop-shot rigs with creature baits, deep-diving crankbaits, and finesse plastics like Roboworms are getting the most action, especially near the weedy shorelines of Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor. Multiple guides and reports note that shade pockets, no matter how small, are key. If you spot even a single bush or big rock casting a shadow, there’s a good chance you’ll find a bass lurking underneath. For you reaction bait fans, topwater lures like Spooks, poppers, and ploppers are still drawing surface strikes early and late. Spinnerbaits such as the Phenix Pro-Series Spinnerbait—Lake Mead Special—are top choices if you’re fishing heavy cover or grass lines. Glide baits and jerkbaits can get you those bigger bites, and don’t forget about buzzbaits, especially before the sun burns off the morning calm. If panfish are your thing, bluegill and catfish action has picked up near 33-Hole, with nightcrawlers and hot dogs providing steady action. The Overton Arm is seeing a resurgence of crappie, mainly caught on white or chartreuse jigs—nice slabs measuring 10 to 12 inches are being pulled up. Today’s hot spots: Vegas Wash cove entrances for stripers, Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor weed lines for bass, and 33-Hole for panfish and cats. Look for crappie activity up in Overton Arm.

According to Sportsman's Warehouse, boating anglers have reported steady limits using these baits recently. Fish are stacking up in 20 to 30 feet of water once the sun’s fully up—target those depths for your best shot. Black bass—both largemouth and smallmouth—have moved deeper thanks to the hot weather, making morning and shady spots your prime targets. Drop-shot rigs with creature baits, deep-diving crankbaits, and finesse plastics like Roboworms are getting the most action, especially near the weedy shorelines of Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor. Multiple guides and reports note that shade pockets, no matter how small, are key. If you spot even a single bush or big rock casting a shadow, there’s a good chance you’ll find a bass lurking underneath. For you reaction bait fans, topwater lures like Spooks, poppers, and ploppers are still drawing surface strikes early and late. Spinnerbaits such as the Phenix Pro-Series Spinnerbait—Lake Mead Special—are top choices if you’re fishing heavy cover or grass lines. Glide baits and jerkbaits can get you those bigger bites, and don’t forget about buzzbaits, especially before the sun burns off the morning calm. If panfish are your thing, bluegill and catfish action has picked up near 33-Hole, with nightcrawlers and hot dogs providing steady action. The Overton Arm is seeing a resurgence of crappie, mainly caught on white or chartreuse jigs—nice slabs measuring 10 to 12 inches are being pulled up. Today’s hot spots: Vegas Wash cove entrances for stripers, Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor weed lines for bass, and 33-Hole for panfish and cats. Look for crappie activity up in Overton Arm.

The desert is cooking today with afternoon highs above 100 degrees—classic Lake Mead in late June. Sunrise hit right around 5:30 AM and expect sunset shortly after 7:45 PM. Winds are light, and the water’s warm, so plan your outings for early morning or closer to dusk for the best shot at some action. There’s no tide to report on this freshwater reservoir, but changing water levels and summer boat traffic can still move bait and influence fish patterns. Bass anglers, the bite’s tough but not dead. The black bass are riding out the heat in deeper water during the day, so target them with drop-shot rigs dressed in creature baits or deep-diving crankbaits. Early mornings along the weedy shorelines near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor are still giving up some largemouth, but as the sun climbs, follow them out to the 20–30 foot contours. According to the June 1 Lake Mead Fishing Report, working drop-shots and deep cranks in those zones is your ticket. If you spot any stray shade lines—big rocks or brush—toss your bait right in there, as even a small shadow might hold a quality fish. Striped bass are still the main event. They’ve been consistent on live shad and cut anchovies, with many anglers reporting success at the cove entrances in Vegas Wash. Three-inch silver swimbaits, Kastmasters, and Jumpin’ Minnows are solid picks for subsurface action, especially when you see stripers chasing bait. If you’re trolling or casting, white and silver lures imitating shad are money. Catfish and bluegill are turning up with regularity around 33-Hole, especially after sunset. Nightcrawlers and even hot dogs are working for the cats. For crappie, white or chartreuse jigs are working up in the Overton Arm, with a few slabs in the 10- to 12-inch range making anglers smile. Top lures this week: Drop-shot rigs with shad or watermelon-colored plastics, deep-diving crankbaits, three-inch silver swimbaits, Kastmasters, Jumpin’ Minnows, and topwater lures like poppers and spooks during first light or evening. Hot spots today: - Calville Bay: Early for bass, access the deeper weed lines after sunup. - Vegas Wash Cove entrances: Striper central, especially with live or cut bait. - Overton Arm: For jigs and crappie action. - 33-Hole: Prime after dark for cats and bluegill. Bring lots of water, sunscreen, and your patience—it’s summer on Mead and the fish are feeling it just as much as we are.

Sunrise hit the water at 5:21 AM and sunset will close the day at 7:59 PM. No tides to worry about on Lake Mead, but the real story is the desert heat—expect highs pushing well above 100 degrees, so plan your fishing early or stick around for that evening bite. Fishing activity has been good overall. As the heat ramps up, most fish are hunkering down deep during the day and cruising shallow at dawn and dusk. The striper bite remains steady, with anglers having the best luck on live shad and cut anchovies, especially near the cove entrances in the Vegas Wash area and around Hemenway Harbor. Three-inch silver swimbaits are producing for those working deeper water, while Kastmasters and Jumpin’ Minnows are getting hits from subsurface stripers. If you’re hunting that classic topwater explosion, throw a spook or a popper at first light—several locals have landed stripers and an occasional largemouth on these baits this week, especially when the shad are pushing up shallow, according to Sportsman’s Warehouse and recent podcast updates from Spreaker. Bass anglers are finding the bite tougher mid-day, with fish moving deeper to escape the sun. Black bass, including largemouth and smallmouth, are still being caught along weed lines and rocky points near Callville Bay and Hemenway. Early morning and late evening are prime times—try crankbaits, topwater poppers, chatterbaits, or a Texas-rigged plastic. A drop shot with a Roboworm in Morning Dawn or Margarita Mutilator has been a go-to for those grinding out a limit. Glide baits in shad pattern continue to fool a few bigger bass for those willing to hunt for a trophy, as seen from recent reports on YouTube. Bluegill and catfish action has picked up near 33-Hole, especially for shore anglers using nightcrawlers and hot dogs after dark. Catfish are also active along drop-offs on stink baits and anchovies. The crappie bite in the Overton Arm has slowed a bit but anglers are still picking up a few nice slabs on small jigs, especially in the evening. Hot spots this week: - Hemenway Harbor: Consistent for stripers and catfish on bait, with topwater bass bites early. - Vegas Wash: Productive for stripers on cut anchovy and live shad. - Callville Bay: Good numbers of bass on plastics, cranks, and surface baits along weed edges. - 33-Hole: Solid catfish and bluegill fishing, especially after sundown. Best Baits & Lures: - Stripers: Cut anchovy, live shad, silver swimbaits, Kastmasters, Jumpin’ Minnows, Zara Spook. - Bass: Topwater poppers, crankbaits, chatterbaits, Texas or drop shot rigs with Roboworms, glide baits. - Catfish: Nightcrawlers, hot dogs, stink baits, anchovies. - Bluegill: Nightcrawlers.

We’re locked into a classic Nevada summer pattern, with a triple-digit heat wave and an early morning bite being your best ticket to a productive day on the water. Today’s sunrise hit around 5:30 AM, and sunset’s expected near 7:45 PM, so your prime windows are just after dawn and in the couple hours before dark. Tidal swings don’t play much of a role on Lake Mead, so focus more on the wind and light. Skies are mostly clear with a light southern breeze, and temps are pushing 105 degrees by the afternoon—hydrate and bring shade. The bass bite has been tough during midday, with black bass and smallmouth moving deeper as surface temps heat up. Drop-shot rigs with creature baits and deep-diving crankbaits are the top producers. The weedy shorelines near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor are still giving up some nice largemouth early, but once the sun’s overhead, those fish slide out to the 20-30 foot range—think drop-shot, neko rig, or finesse jigs just off rocky points and submerged brush, according to recent local YouTube guides and podcast updates. Striped bass action continues strong, especially for those targeting the cove entrances around Vegas Wash. Most striper limits are coming on cut anchovies or live shad, but three-inch silver swimbaits, Kastmasters, and Jumpin’ Minnows are getting bit as well. Early and late are best; as the sun comes up, switch to deeper channels or troll with umbrella rigs. Crappie are still active in the Overton Arm, with jigs in white and chartreuse picking up fish in the 10 to 12-inch range. Bluegill and catfish are hanging around 33-Hole—nightcrawlers and chunks of hot dog fished on bottom have been the ticket for steady cat action. Top five lures for the week: Zara Spook topwater, silver Kastmaster, deep-diving shad-colored crankbait, drop-shot with white or green pumpkin plastics, and a 4-inch chartreuse tube jig for panfish. For hot spots, focus on: - Weedy coves at Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor for bass at first and last light. - Vegas Wash cove entrances for stripers all day, especially on moving baits. - Overton Arm for crappie and steady action. - 33-Hole for bluegill and catfish, especially after sundown. That’s the rundown for Lake Mead this week. Remember, treat those spawning fish with care—get them back quick so we all have great fishing in the future.

The desert sun is back in full force, and we’re already seeing triple digits by midday, so the name of the game right now is beating the heat. Sunrise came in at 5:20 AM and sunset isn’t until 7:57 PM, but trust me—your best shot at big catches is in those early morning or late evening hours before things get sizzling. There’s no meaningful tidal swing on Lake Mead, but wind can be a factor, so keep an eye out for afternoon breezes picking up around 15 mph today. The fishing action is classic June—bass are moving into their deep summer haunts, and stripers are on the prowl. Black bass, both largemouth and smallmouth, are mostly done spawning and are sliding off beds into 20 to 30 feet of water. Anglers are having good luck on drop-shot rigs with creature baits and deep-diving crankbaits. If you’re not fishing deep, work those shade lines—one lone bush, a boulder, or a shadow near the shore can hold a fat bass, even if the rest of the cove looks dead. For the best largemouth action right now, I recommend working the weedy shorelines and shaded pockets near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor, just as reported by Sportsman’s Warehouse and fellow YouTube guides. The striped bass bite is hot, especially at first light. Best bait choice is still cut anchovies—stripers are stacking up outside Hemenway Harbor and over at Boxcar Cove. Don’t overlook tossing a three-inch silver swimbait, Kastmaster, or Jumpin’ Minnow for those subsurface fish. Early mornings are when the striper boils pop off, so get out before the sun’s high. If you’re after panfish, crappie are peaking in the Overton Arm. Chartreuse and white jigs or small tubes are your go-to—just bounce them near submerged brush or rock piles and you’ll find some action. Other reports say bluegill and catfish are firing around 33-Hole, with nightcrawlers and even good ol’ hot dogs pulling in steady numbers. For lures, stick with what’s proven—topwater poppers and ploppers at dawn, white and silver paddle-tail swimbaits, deep-diving crankbaits, and confidence plastics like drop-shot roboworms in shad or baitfish colors. For bass, nothing wrong with a bright neon worm in deep water—you want to see those bites. Spinnerbaits and buzzbaits are worth a try for bigger bites if clouds roll in or the wind picks up. Hot spots: Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor for bass; Boxcar Cove, Hemenway Harbor, and Vegas Wash for stripers; Overton Arm for crappie. If you’re shore fishing, don’t skip those little pockets of shade—there’s often a fish there. That’s it for today’s Lake Mead report.

Kastmasters and Jumpin Minnows are also catching subsurface fish. The best striper action has been in the early mornings right around sunrise. Crappie fishing is peaking in the Overton Arm. Anglers are having success with chartreuse jigs and tubes. If you're after these tasty panfish, that should be your target area. For those looking for reaction baits, topwater lures like Spooks or Zara Spooks work well, especially for stripers and largemouth bass. Don't forget to explore coves and work both clockwise and counter-clockwise to find those schooling fish. Thanks for tuning in, folks Remember to fish responsibly and catch-and-release whenever possible, especially during breeding seasons.

Folks, summer is in full swing and the desert heat is cranking up, with air temps already pushing past 100 degrees again today. That means the best fishing is happening either at first light or after the sun drops behind the mountains. Sunrise this morning hit around 5:23 AM and sunset’s coming at 7:58 PM, so you've got a solid early and late window to work the water. There’s no tidal action on Lake Mead, but weather plays a big part. Winds are forecast to stay under 10 mph most of the day and skies are expected to be clear, so conditions should be smooth for both boating and shore anglers. Fish activity has shifted with the heat. Bass are pulling off the shallow beds and holding deeper during the middle of the day. For black bass, target those weedy shorelines at Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor early, then slide out to 20-to-30-foot depths once the sun’s up. Drop-shot rigs with creature baits have been getting bit, and deep-diving crankbaits are working when the bass set up offshore. Don’t sleep on the shade lines—one little bush or boulder can hold a big fish when it’s blazing hot, so hit every pocket of shade you find, even if the spot looks dead otherwise. Striped bass are still heating up, especially near Boxcar Cove and just outside Hemenway Harbor. Best results right now are on cut anchovies, but if you’re fishing artificial, three-inch silver swimbaits, Kastmasters, and Jumpin Minnows are all solid producers. Get there early: the hottest striper bite has been right around sunrise before the sun gets high. Over in the Overton Arm, the crappie bite is peaking. Chartreuse jigs and tubes are the ticket, and folks are filling up stringers with slabs in the brushier cuts and flooded timber. Bluegill and catfish are reliable near the 33-Hole area; night crawlers and even hot dogs are pulling in both species right now. For catfish, evening is your best bet. As for lures, the local tackle shops and regulars are sticking to what’s working: whites and silvers for shad imitators, topwater baits like poppers and Zara Spooks for early morning, and classic drop-shots or football jigs when the bass get tight-lipped. For plastics, try wacky-rigged Senkos, Roboworms in Margarita Mutilator and Morning Dawn, or brown/purple spider jigs—especially when working deeper structure. Hot spots to target today are: - Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor for bass—pound the weed lines at sunup, then move deep. - Boxcar Cove for stripers—anchovies or swimbaits right at first light. - Overton Arm for crappie—find the brush with a chartreuse jig.

It’s another classic June morning in southern Nevada—sunrise rolled in at 5:21 a.m., and we'll see sunset at 7:57 p.m. We’re looking at a scorcher today; temps will blow past 100 degrees before lunchtime, so plan your trip early or head out for that sunset bite. There’s no tidal swing due to Lake Mead being a reservoir, but boat traffic will pick up quick with the heat, so getting out before the crowds pays off. The bass bite is deepening as water temps climb. Black bass are pushing out to the 20-30 foot range by late morning. Early birds dragging drop-shot rigs with creature baits and deep-diving crankbaits are scoring largemouth, especially along weedy banks and deeper structure near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor. Shade lines are gold—don’t ignore solitary boulders or flooded bushes. If there’s a hint of shadow, odds are a bass is lurking. Local guides are reporting four-pound smallmouths landed this week, with big fish coming up early before slipping down to cooler cover. Striped bass are in full feed mode during first light. Cut anchovies have been the ticket, especially around Boxcar Cove and just outside Hemenway Harbor. If you prefer artificials, three-inch silver swimbaits, Kastmasters, and Jumpin’ Minnows are pulling strikes right under the surface at sunup. Keep a topwater handy—walk-the-dog style lures and poppers can trigger explosive strikes if you find schooling fish. Crappie have been peaking in the Overton Arm, with anglers limiting out on chartreuse jigs and tubes. For other finesse work, classic drop shot Roboworms in “Margarita Mutilator” or “Morning Dawn” colors are a solid bet. For those targeting bigger bites, topwater and jerkbaits—especially Spooks and spinnerbaits—have been producing both quality largemouth and the occasional double hookup with smallmouth. Don’t sleep on buzzbaits or spider jigs in deeper water for midday action. Hot spots this week: - Calville Bay: Early largemouth on the weedlines and smallmouth off the main points. - Boxcar Cove: Prime for stripers at dawn. - Overton Arm: Crappie are thick on submerged brush; bring the light tackle! Remember, hydration is your friend—pack that cooler and don’t forget your sun protection. Get to your spot early, work those shadows, and adjust deeper as the sun climbs.

Today’s shaping up hot with air temps north of 100 degrees. At Lake Mead, that means smart fishing means early mornings and late evenings—midday is for the lizards and the sun worshippers, not the anglers. Sunrise hit at 5:22 AM and you’ll see sunset at 7:56 PM. There’s no true tide in the lake, but wind can make water push and pull—watch for breezy periods that’ll stack up baitfish and stir up a bite. The morning bite is best. Bass action has moved deeper with this heat, most quality largemouth and smallies pushing out to the 20-30 foot range once the sun’s up. Drop shots, neko rigs, and finesse baits are turning fish. Tackle the deep humps and shaded bluffs near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor—these are the hot spots right now, with both largemouth and smallmouth showing up for persistent anglers. If you find a little shade—be it off a bush or a boulder—work it slow, as big bass will tuck tight to cover as the day heats up. According to recent reports and guides running these waters, shade lines are as productive as ever in early June. For stripers, live shad and cut anchovies are money, especially at cove entrances around Vegas Wash. Three-inch silver swimbaits, Kastmasters, and Jumpin’ Minnows are also steady producers for subsurface fish. Don’t overlook topwater lures early—Spooks and poppers can get explosive hits right at daybreak, especially when you see surface activity or birds working. Colorwise, whites and silvers do the trick, imitating shad perfectly, and topwater lures in these shades have been catching both bass and stripers lately. Bluegill and catfish are active near 33-Hole. Night crawlers and even hot dogs are drawing in cats, especially for those sticking it out after dark. Overton Arm is still giving up the odd crappie on small jigs if you want to mix it up. Biggest catches this week? A verified 4-pound smallmouth came in from a local cove, and bass in the 2–3 pound range are typical for those dialing in their presentations. Covering water pays off—use your trolling motor, throw reaction baits like spinnerbaits or crankbaits, and don’t be afraid to change angles. Today’s recommended hot spots: Calville Bay for deep bass and stripers, Hemenway Harbor for a mix of action, and the shallows of 33-Hole after dusk for catfish and bluegill. Gear up, bring more water than you think you need, and get on the lake early or late to beat both the sun and the crowds. Thanks for tuning in to today’s bite.

We’re looking at a classic early-summer pattern on Lake Mead, Nevada. Temperatures have been topping 100 degrees, so the best action is definitely happening in the cooler early morning and late evening hours. This morning, sunrise was at 5:22 a.m. and sunset will clock in around 7:54 p.m., giving you plenty of daylight to work with if you plan it right. There’s no tidal influence on Lake Mead since it’s a reservoir, so you can focus fully on time of day and shade lines. Air is hot, but winds are calm early and pick up in the afternoon. Water temps are heating up, pushing most species a bit deeper by about mid-morning. You’re going to want to get out there at first light for the best bite, especially for bass and stripers. Striped bass remain very active, especially at cove entrances near Vegas Wash and around Hemenway Harbor. According to Sportsman's Warehouse reports, live shad and cut anchovies are producing lots of bites, but three-inch silver swimbaits, Kastmasters, and Jumpin Minnows are also getting hit hard. Boaters drifting cut anchovies are picking up some solid stripers, and shore anglers are doing well with the classic chicken liver and anchovy combo. Largemouth and smallmouth bass fishing has shifted: as the sun gets up, these fish move out deep, hitting the 20 to 30 foot range. Local anglers suggest working finesse baits like drop-shot rigs, Ned rigs, and classic Texas rigs. If you’re a fan of reaction baits, don’t overlook topwater early—poppers, Zara Spooks, and walking baits are getting the nod before sunrise, and plastics in white or neon are excellent for bed fishing, especially if you’re sight-fishing the shallows. Top-producing plastics include the Rapala CrushCity Cleanup Craw and smaller worms in the oxblood or margarita mutilator colors. Bluegill and catfish are steady, especially near the 33-Hole area. Night crawlers and even hot dogs will put some good catfish in the cooler after dark. For crappie, Overton Arm is still putting out a few on small jigs, although that bite has slowed a bit. If you’re looking for hot spots, put Callville Bay, Hemenway Harbor, and the mouths of the Las Vegas Bay coves at the top of your list. Fish those first light shade lines hard before the heat drives fish deeper. Vegas Wash has also been a consistent striper producer. Thanks for tuning in to your daily Lake Mead fishing report.

We kicked off the day under a neon sunrise at 5:22 a.m., with the mercury already climbing toward triple digits as we roll into summer. Expect afternoon highs just above 100°F, but a dry breeze should keep things tolerable until sunset at 7:55 p.m. There’s no tidal change here, just good old-fashioned wind and sun dictating fish behavior. If you want bites, you gotta beat the heat. The action is best early or late, with both mornings and evenings seeing the most activity. The bass bite, especially largemouth and smallmouth, has been a bit finicky lately due to hotter water temps—most fish are pushing deeper, hanging in the 20 to 30 foot range once the sun is high. Local guides on YouTube have hammered on the importance of shade: if you spot even a little shadow from a boulder or single bush, work it hard. Odds are a bass is lurking there, cooling off and waiting to ambush prey. For technique, finesse is the name of the game. Drop shot rigs and Ned rigs are getting steady results in deeper water. If you’re partial to reaction baits, don’t overlook spinnerbaits—especially custom “Lake Mead Special” models from Phenix, which shine in both heavy cover and open water. Topwater lures like Zara Spooks, poppers, and walking baits are getting attention along weedlines in the early morning and late evening—white and silver colors match the local shad and usually do the trick. Plastics (especially in cinnamon brown, purple, or white) on drop shots and jig heads are also bringing in both largemouth and smallmouth. As for stripers, cut anchovies and live shad are the go-to baits, with steady striper action reported near the entrances to coves around Vegas Wash and in the Boulder Basin area. If bait’s not your style, three-inch silver swimbaits, Kastmasters, and Jumpin’ Minnows will put you on the fish. Catfish and bluegill are holding strong near 33-Hole, with night crawlers and, believe it or not, cut hot dogs working wonders, especially after dark. Crappie hunters should check Overton Arm—jigs fished just off deeper structure are picking up a few slabs, though reports have been a little more hit-or-miss as the spring spawn wraps up. Hot spots this week: try Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor for bass, Vegas Wash for stripers, and 33-Hole for your panfish and cat action.

Artificial Lure here with your weekend fishing update for Lake Mead. It's shaping up to be another scorcher with temperatures already pushing past 100 degrees, so you'll want to get out early or plan for evening fishing. The bass bite has been shifting deeper as the water warms. Black bass are hitting drop-shot rigs with creature baits and deep-diving crankbaits in the 20-30 foot range. For the best largemouth action, check out the weedy shorelines near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor. The fish are following their typical summer pattern, moving off beds and heading to slightly deeper water. Striped bass fishing has been heating up! These fighters are taking cut anchovies, especially around Boxcar Cove and outside Hemenway Harbor. If you don't have bait, three-inch silver swimbaits are producing well. Kastmasters and Jumpin Minnows are also solid options for subsurface fish. The best striper action has been in the early mornings right around sunrise. Crappie fishing is peaking in the Overton Arm right now. Anglers are having success with chartreuse jigs and tubes. If you're after these tasty panfish, that should be your target area. Catfish activity is increasing with the warmer water. They're most active in the evenings, so sunset fishing has been producing the best catches. For those of you looking to try some topwater action, now's a great time! Glide baits that you can walk the dog with, poppers, and ploppers are all effective for both stripers and bass. Stick with whites and silvers to match the local shad. Hot spots this weekend: - Vegas Wash area has been productive, especially around cove entrances - The Overton Arm for crappie - Boxcar Cove for shore-based striper fishing Pro tip: If you find schooling stripers hitting topwater lures, keep working them. Largemouth often hang beneath the stripers, and about every fourth or fifth fish might be a nice bass. Remember, with these hot temperatures, the fishing window is compressed. Your best bet is to be on the water at first light when the fish are most active. The bite typically slows considerably once the sun gets high. Thanks for tuning in to this week's report.

Crappie fishing is peaking in the Overton Arm right now. Anglers are having success with chartreuse jigs and tubes. If you're after these tasty panfish, that should be your target area. Catfish activity is increasing with the warmer water. They're most active in the evenings, so sunset fishing has been producing the best catches. For those of you looking to try some topwater action, now's a great time! Glide baits that you can walk the dog with, poppers, and ploppers are all effective for both stripers and bass. Stick with whites and silvers to match the local shad. Hot spots this weekend: - Vegas Wash area has been productive, especially around cove entrances - The Overton Arm for crappie - Boxcar Cove for shore-based striper fishing Pro tip: If you find schooling stripers hitting topwater lures, keep working them. Largemouth often hang beneath the stripers, and about every fourth or fifth fish might be a nice bass. Remember, with these hot temperatures, the fishing window is compressed. Your best bet is to be on the water at first light when the fish are most active. The bite typically slows considerably once the sun gets high. Thanks for tuning in to this week's report.

We’re rolling into another hot June weekend, and the bite’s been dynamic—let’s dive in. Sunrise hit at 5:21 AM this morning, with sunset set for 8:00 PM. No tides on Lake Mead since it’s a desert reservoir, but the daily wind and water level swings have a similar effect on fish activity. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reported water temps climbing into the low 80s, and daytime highs soaring well over 100°F. That means the best fishing is happening early morning and just before dusk, with the mid-day lull in full force. Bass fishing has shifted deeper as we move into summer. According to Sportsman’s Warehouse’s June 1st report, both largemouth and smallmouth are hanging on drop-offs and structure between 20 and 30 feet. Drop-shot rigs tipped with creature baits in green pumpkin or watermelon have been money. Deep-diving crankbaits in shad patterns are pulling some nice fish, especially near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor. Omnia Fishing’s recent updates confirm that slow-rolled soft swimbaits—3.5–4.5 inch in white or silver—are getting consistent strikes off rock piles and ledges. Striped bass action has picked up, especially on live shad and cut anchovies. If you’re throwing artificials, three-inch silver swimbaits, Kastmasters, and Jumpin’ Minnows are hot right now. Surface feeding stripers have been blitzing around Boulder Basin early in the morning, so have your topwater lures ready. Glide baits, poppers, and classic Zara Spooks in shad or white remain strong choices—color matching the baitfish is key, so keep those whites and silvers tied on. Crappie are peaking in the Overton Arm, with anglers scoring them on small jigs under floats around submerged brush. Catfish are active at night on cut anchovies and stinkbaits, especially at cove mouths and along the Vegas Wash. For hot spots, hit Hemenway Harbor at sunrise for bass working the weed edges, then move to Calville Bay’s deeper structure as the sun climbs. Overton Arm is your best bet for crappie, while Boulder Basin’s early morning boils are producing quality stripers. Quick tips: Pick your hours to beat the heat—first light and after dinner are prime. Bring plenty of water, slow your presentation in the midday, and be ready to move deeper as the sun rises. If you’re bank fishing, shady coves and inflow washes are producing best. Thanks for tuning in to your local Lake Mead report. Be sure to subscribe for all the latest bite updates.

We're looking at another scorcher today with temperatures already pushing past 100 degrees by midmorning. Sunrise was at 5:23 AM, and we'll have sunset tonight at 8:01 PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours to get those lines wet. Water conditions at Lake Mead are a bit unusual right now. The bass are in what I'm calling a "total mess" phase - some are up on beds, some protecting fry, and others aren't thinking about spawning at all. This mixed-up pattern is likely due to our fluctuating water temps and weather we've been having over the past month. For those targeting bass, you've got options. If you're hunting bedding fish, head to the traditional spawning grounds along sandy coves. For the fry guarders, work reaction baits in shallow water. If you're after those post-spawn females, try finesse techniques in the 25-35 foot range with bigger worms, jigs, and finesse baits worked nice and slow. Stripers have been the most consistent bite lately. They're hitting live shad and cut anchovies best, but 3-inch silver swimbaits make a solid backup option. Don't forget about Kastmasters and Jumpin' Minnows for those subsurface fish. Some decent crappie action has been reported in the Overton Arm using jigs. If you're topwater fishing, glide baits, walk-the-dog style lures, poppers, and ploppers are all working well - especially for stripers and both largemouth and smallmouth bass. Stick with whites and silvers to match the local shad. Hot spots this week include the main lake points at Boulder Basin, the centers of coves in 25-30 feet, and the entire Overton Arm for crappie. Boulder Beach has been producing some nice stripers in the early morning hours. My top recommendation for today: if you want a consistent bite, go with finesse tactics out deep on those main lake points. But if you're feeling adventurous, try a bit of everything - the fish are scattered throughout all water columns and locations. Remember to bring plenty of water and sunscreen because that June sun is fierce out there on the water. The boat ramps at Hemenway Harbor and Echo Bay are in good shape with the current water levels.

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Mead fishing report for June 1, 2025. We're looking at a scorcher today with temperatures already climbing past 100 degrees, so plan on hitting the water early morning or late evening for your best chances. Sunrise was around 5:30 AM with sunset expected around 7:45 PM. The bass bite has gotten tougher recently as the fish have moved to deeper water due to the heat. Black bass are hitting drop-shot rigs with creature baits and deep-diving crankbaits. The most productive areas have been the weedy shorelines near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor. If you're targeting largemouth, focus on those areas in the early hours. Striped bass action remains solid with most fish being caught on live shad and cut anchovies. Three-inch silver swimbaits are also proving effective as backup options. Don't overlook Kastmasters and Jumpin' Minnows for subsurface stripers. Boating anglers are finding good success at the cove entrances in the Vegas Wash area. For you crappie enthusiasts, there's decent action happening in the Overton Arm. Jigs in white or chartreuse colors are the ticket. Some nice catches in the 10-12 inch range have been reported. Catfish are also taking cut anchovies well in the late evening hours. These fighters provide great action when other species slow down during the hottest parts of the day. If you're looking for hotspots, I'd recommend checking out the coves near Callville Bay early in the morning for bass, then moving to deeper water as the day heats up. The Vegas Wash area has been particularly productive for stripers. Boulder Beach points are holding fish for those willing to work a bit harder. For lures, keep it simple: drop-shot rigs with green pumpkin worms for bass, silver swimbaits for stripers, and don't forget those trusty anchovies for both stripers and cats. If you're after a reaction bite, try working spinnerbaits around submerged structure during low light conditions. Water levels are finally showing some improvement after years of drought, which has opened up new structure and fishing opportunities. Just be careful of previously submerged hazards that might still lurk beneath the surface. Thanks for tuning in to your Lake Mead fishing report.

We’re heading into another scorcher out here—expect afternoon highs pushing past 100 degrees, so the name of the game is early mornings and late evenings if you want to stay comfortable and find active fish. Sunrise was at 5:32 AM, and you’ll have till about 7:34 PM before the sun dips out. No tides to worry about on the lake, but wind gusts could pick up in the afternoon, so anchor down or plan to be off the water before the heat peaks. Striped bass are the big story right now and they’re biting hot and heavy. Most of the action is coming on cut anchovies and live shad, especially at the cove entrances around Vegas Wash and near Hemenway Harbor. If you’re running lures, three-inch silver swimbaits, Kastmasters, and Jumpin Minnows are all pulling in fish—several reports of stripers in the 3 to 5-pound range this week. Look for stripers schooling deeper as the sun gets higher; try working that 25 to 40-foot range once the morning burst fades—white swim baits or shiny spoons can get you bit according to Sportsman’s Warehouse and recent daily reports on Spreaker. Bass fishing is a tougher ticket than it was a few weeks back. Both largemouth and smallmouth are leaving the spawn beds for deeper water—15 to 25 feet seems best if you’re hunting them around structure and rock piles. The key has been Texas-rigged watermelon or pumpkin worms, deep-diving crankbaits in shad patterns, and creature baits fished slow. Calville Bay and the weedy edges near Hemenway Harbor are your prime bass real estate—just have patience because the bite is slow but steady for those who stick with it. Catfish are heating up as the water warms, especially in the evenings. Cut anchovies, chicken liver, or cut shad fished off the bottom around Las Vegas Bay and the backs of sheltered coves are drawing in channel and the occasional blue cat. For those chasing crappie, Overton Arm is worth a look. The bite is hit or miss, but if you find the schools near brush piles or submerged structure, small jigs tipped with minnows or bright plastics will fill your cooler quick. A couple of hot spots for your weekend: - Vegas Wash coves for stripers—anchor just off the points at dawn. - Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor for deeper bass. - Overton Arm early for crappie. - Las Vegas Bay after sundown for catfish. Water levels are holding steady, so launches at Boulder Harbor and Hemenway are in good shape. Bring lots of water and your best sun gear—the desert sun will sneak up on you.

Sunrise came in early at 5:30 this morning, and sunset will light up the sky until about 7:45 tonight—plenty of time for lines in the water, but with daytime highs topping 100 degrees, the best fishing is definitely in the early hours or just before dusk. As always, make sure you’re packing lots of water and sun protection; the desert sun doesn’t mess around. Lake Mead isn’t tidal, so no need to worry about tides shifting your plans. Water levels have remained steady this week, and the surface temperature is pushing into the mid-70s, keeping summer patterns locked in. According to the Lake Mead, Nevada Daily Fishing Report podcast, the big story is stripers dominating the scene right now. Striped bass are hammering live shad and cut anchovies, especially near the cove entrances in the Vegas Wash area and Hemenway Harbor. If you can’t find live bait, three-inch silver swimbaits, white swim baits, and classic Kastmasters are all producing. Jumpin Minnows are a go-to if you’re after that explosive subsurface action. Bass fishing has gotten a bit tough these past weeks. The black bass—both largemouth and smallmouth—have pulled off the shallows and moved to deeper, cooler water, with most action coming from 15-25 feet down, close to structure. Deep-diving crankbaits in shad patterns, Texas-rigged worms in watermelon or pumpkin, and drop-shot rigs with small creature baits are your best bet. Reports from Sportsman’s Warehouse and the Nevada Department of Wildlife mention anglers still managing some nice fish along the weedy shorelines at Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor, but you’ll need to grind a bit and fish deep. Crappie are still spotty but worth targeting in the Overton Arm if you locate a school. Small jigs tipped with minnows, especially around submerged brush piles, can fill your cooler when the bite’s on. Catfish action is picking up in the warm evenings, especially around Las Vegas Bay. Cut anchovies, chicken liver, or cut shad on the bottom are consistently drawing bites. For hot spots this week, check out: - Hemenway Harbor: Early morning striper blitzes, especially on cut bait or swim baits. - Temple Bar coves: Shaded structure ideal for bass chasing crankbaits or worms deep. - Government Wash: Reliable striper activity, especially if you beat the heat and launch before sunrise.

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Mead fishing report for Wednesday, May 28, 2025. The sun's already making its presence known this morning, rising at about 5:25 AM, and we'll have daylight until around 7:50 PM tonight. Temperatures are climbing into the high 90s today, so bring plenty of water and sunscreen if you're heading out. Lake Mead's been showing some interesting patterns lately. The stripers have been absolutely on fire these past couple weeks. Since mid-May, the striper bite has been consistently hot[1][2], which is great news for those of you targeting these fighters. They're hitting well on anchovies and cut bait in the 30-50 foot depths, particularly around the Boulder Basin and near the dam. Bass fishing, however, has been a bit of a struggle lately[1]. The reports from the past few weeks show largemouth and smallmouth bass have been playing hard to get[2]. If you're determined to target bass, your best bet is working finesse jigs, soft swimbaits, and spinnerbaits around boulder structures in 5-10 foot depths[4]. Early morning and late evening have been producing better results when the water cools slightly. For those heading up to the Overton Arm, be advised that crappie have been sparse up that way based on reports from May 18[2]. Not worth the trip if that's your target species. The desert heat cranked up early this year according to reports in early May[3], and that trend has continued through late May. Water temps are now in the upper 70s, which has pushed many fish deeper. A couple hot spots worth checking out: Government Wash has been producing decent striper action on anchovies, especially in the early mornings. For those with boats, the area around Black Island has been giving up some nice stripers to anglers trolling with deep-diving lures that mimic shad. As for bait and lures, live shad remains the premium bait if you can net some, but anchovies and cut bait are working great for stripers. For artificial offerings, anything that mimics the abundant shad population is your best bet - silver and white have been the hot colors. Lake level is still down, so be careful navigating, especially in areas you might not have fished recently. Some new structure has been exposed with the water levels, creating new fishing opportunities but also new hazards. That's all for today, folks. This is Artificial Lure signing off.

For those with boats, the area around Black Island has been giving up some nice stripers to anglers trolling with deep-diving lures that mimic shad. As for bait and lures, live shad remains the premium bait if you can net some, but anchovies and cut bait are working great for stripers. For artificial offerings, anything that mimics the abundant shad population is your best bet - silver and white have been the hot colors. Lake level is still down, so be careful navigating, especially in areas you might not have fished recently. Some new structure has been exposed with the water levels, creating new fishing opportunities but also new hazards. That's all for today, folks. This is Artificial Lure signing off.

It's another scorching day at Lake Mead with temperatures already pushing toward the century mark. We're looking at clear skies and light winds today, perfect for getting out on the water early. Sunrise was at 5:23 AM and sunset will be at 7:52 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to work with. No tidal concerns here at our inland reservoir, but water levels remain stable compared to last week. The fishing pattern has shifted these past couple weeks, folks. Bass fishing continues to be a grind as they've moved deeper with the increasing temperatures. Most successful anglers are hitting the water before dawn or waiting until dusk when the heat lets up a bit. Your best bet for largemouth is working the weedy shorelines near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor with soft plastics and jerkbaits in the low light hours. Striped bass are the real stars right now! They've been hitting cut anchovies aggressively, especially for boaters working the cove entrances in the Vegas Wash area. If you're looking to change it up, three-inch silver swimbaits have been producing nicely as a solid backup. Don't forget your Kastmasters and Jumpin' Minnows for those subsurface fish that are suspended in the water column. Over in the Overton Arm, crappie action has been sparse but persistent anglers are finding some success with jigs. A few locals tell me the bite improves slightly during the evening hours. Catfish activity is picking up as well with the warmer water temps. They're taking cut anchovies just like the stripers - might as well have both rods out while you're at it! Hot spots this week: The coves near Boulder Harbor have been producing consistent striper catches, and Government Wash has been a good area for mixed bag fishing. For those willing to make the run, Echo Bay has been less pressured and offering decent numbers of stripers and the occasional chunky largemouth. Bait recommendation: Cut anchovies are the ticket for stripers and cats. Live shad if you can net them. Lure selection: Silver swimbaits, Kastmasters, and Jumpin' Minnows for stripers. For bass, try working deep diving crankbaits along drop-offs or dragging jigs along deeper structure. Remember folks, with these temperatures climbing above 100 degrees, stay hydrated and be sure to get your lines wet during those early morning and late evening windows for the best action. Until next time, this is Artificial Lure saying tight lines and see y'all on the water! This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We’re rolling into another blazing desert day with the mercury pushing above 100 degrees, so the best bite is coming early in the morning or late in the evening. Today’s sunrise was just after 5:30 AM and sunset will settle in around 7:45 PM, giving you long daylight hours to chase those fish. With Lake Mead being a reservoir, we don’t have tidal swings to worry about, so focus on the weather and timing. The striped bass bite remains the headliner across the lake. Stripers are absolutely hammering live shad and cut anchovies, especially at cove entrances in the Vegas Wash area. If you’re running low on bait or prefer artificials, try three-inch silver swimbaits, which have been producing steady action. Kastmaster spoons and Jumpin Minnows are also pulling in aggressive stripers when fished subsurface. Anglers this past week reported solid numbers in the 2 to 5 pound range, with a few larger fish mixed in. Early morning seems to be key—once the sun is high, the action tapers off. Bass fishing is a bit tougher lately as both largemouth and smallmouth have moved to deeper, cooler water in response to the heat. You’ll have your best odds focusing on deeper structure and the weedy shorelines near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor. Some anglers are still scratching out decent catches there, mostly on soft plastics and jigs, but the numbers are down compared to spring. Don’t be afraid to drop shot or slow roll a creature bait along the deeper weedlines. A few crappie have started to show in the Overton Arm, with small jigs doing the trick, but it’s still hit or miss. Catfish are picking up after dark on cut anchovies, especially in the coves and the mouths of washes. For hot spots today, definitely check out Vegas Wash cove entrances for stripers and take a run up to Calville Bay or Hemenway Harbor for your bass fix. If you’re feeling adventurous, Overton Arm is worth a shot for crappie. Summing it up: stripers are your main action, especially on cut anchovies and live shad, bass are deeper along the weedlines, and the early morning or late evening windows are prime. Stay hydrated and good luck out there—tight lines from Artificial Lure. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Artificial Lure here with your Saturday fishing report for Lake Mead on this hot May 24th, 2025. The sun's already been up since about 5:30 this morning and won't set until around 7:45 tonight, giving you plenty of daylight hours to get on the water. But let me tell ya, with temperatures climbing well above 100 degrees these days, you'll want to plan your fishing for early morning or late evening unless you enjoy baking out there. Water levels have been holding steady on the lake, and since we're talking about an inland reservoir, there's no tidal action to report - just the usual light chop from boat traffic that picks up as the day progresses. The striper bite continues to be the hot ticket item this week. These fish have been absolutely hammering live shad and cut anchovies throughout the lake for the past couple weeks now. If you're having trouble finding bait, silver swimbaits around three inches are producing well as an alternative. Kastmasters and Jumpin Minnows have also been working nicely for subsurface action. Bass fishing remains a bit of a challenge as these fish have moved to deeper water with the rising temperatures. The largemouth that were hitting along shorelines earlier in the month have retreated to cooler depths. Your best bet for bass is to focus on structure in deeper water, though there's been some decent action reported along the weedy shorelines near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor. For you crappie anglers, there's been some action with jigs in the Overton Arm. And don't overlook catfish, which have been taking cut anchovies along with the stripers. Hot spots this weekend? I'd recommend checking out the cove entrances in the Vegas Wash area, which have been particularly productive for boating anglers targeting stripers. Also worth trying are the areas around Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor for those bass that are still hanging around the weedy shorelines. Remember folks, with this heat, bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and maybe consider a quick dip to cool off between spots. Nothing ruins a good fishing day faster than heat exhaustion.

Lake Mead is heating up fast, with daytime highs topping 100 degrees this week. That means the best fishing has been in the early mornings right around sunrise, which hit at about 5:23 a.m. today, and again in the late evening as the sun sets close to 7:45 p.m. Winds are light so far this morning, and the skies are mostly clear—perfect conditions to hit the water before the real heat settles in. Striped bass remain the main attraction and they’re biting well. The hot ticket for stripers has been live shad or cut anchovies, with reports of good catches from both shore and boat. Three-inch silver swimbaits, Kastmasters, and Jumpin Minnows are also putting plenty of fish in the cooler for those working the Vegas Wash, Boxcar Cove, and just outside Hemenway Harbor. Boating anglers have found solid action at the cove entrances and along deeper channel edges. Striper sizes are ranging from 1 to 5 pounds, with occasional bigger fish mixed in[1][3][4]. Black bass are a bit tougher right now. The recent jump in temperature has pushed them deeper and toward weedy edges. Drop-shot rigs with creature baits and deep-diving crankbaits are working, especially along shorelines near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor. The bass bite is best when the sun is low or even after dark, as the fish seek cooler depths to avoid the midday heat. Most anglers are reporting fish in the 1 to 3-pound range[1][4]. Crappie action has picked up nicely in the Overton Arm, with anglers having success on chartreuse jigs and tubes. Try working the submerged brush and structure early for your best shot[1][4]. Catfish are also getting more active as the water warms, with cut anchovies the top bait. Sunset seems to be the peak time to land a few whisker fish from shore. No tidal report for Lake Mead since it’s a reservoir, but the recent stable weather is keeping fish patterns consistent. Typical baits like anchovies, shad, and plastics are your best bet. Hot spots today include the cove entrances in the Vegas Wash for stripers, Overton Arm for crappie, and weedy shorelines near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor for black bass. That’s your Lake Mead update for today. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and tight lines! This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We’re moving into late May and Lake Mead waters are warming up nicely. Sunrise hit at about 5:26 AM this morning and sunset will be around 7:42 PM. Weather is sitting comfy in the high 70s to mid 80s with light winds, making for ideal boating and casting conditions. No tides to report since we’re on freshwater, but water levels are stable and clarity is fair throughout the main lake and coves. Fish activity is buzzing. Stripers are the stars right now, especially in the early morning and just before sunset. Anchovies fished from shore at Boxcar Cove and just outside Hemenway Harbor are producing plenty of bites. Reports from the last few days show anglers pulling in good numbers, mostly in the 2-to-4-pound range, with bigger stripers occasionally showing up around dusk. Don’t be shy about using chunk baits or tossing out cut anchovies for some solid action. Drifting with live shad near deeper channels is also a good bet if you can get them. Bass fishing is a little tougher. Largemouth and smallmouth are sluggish, mostly holding to deeper structure and shaded spots to avoid the warming surface temps. Those putting in the grind are getting bites on drop-shot rigs with creature baits, and deep-diving crankbaits worked along rocky edges and submerged brush. Be patient, and focus on early and late windows around Government Wash and Boulder Basin. The bass bite should improve as temps stabilize. Crappie are hitting their peak in the Overton Arm, responding well to chartreuse jigs and tubes. Try vertical jigging around submerged brush piles or drop-offs. Catfish are becoming more active along muddy bottoms and are taking stink baits and nightcrawlers, especially in the evenings. A couple of hot spots this week: Boxcar Cove for striper action, especially from shore with anchovies. Overton Arm for crappie, working with bright jig heads around structure. If you’re heading out for evening action, sunset seems to trigger more feeding all around, especially for stripers and catfish. Make sure to have extra bait and maybe some glow lures for the last light. Get your gear ready and good luck on the water—Lake Mead is delivering some steady spring action for anyone willing to chase the bite.

Artificial Lure here with your Monday morning fishing report for Lake Mead. The sun rose about 5:30 this morning and will set around 7:45 tonight, giving you plenty of daylight to get on the water. With temperatures already climbing above 100 degrees in recent days, you'll want to plan your fishing early morning or late evening for the most comfortable and productive experience. The water level has been stable, but there's no significant tidal action to report on our inland reservoir. The big story continues to be the striped bass bite, which has been running hot for the past week. Stripers are absolutely hammering live shad and cut anchovies throughout the lake, particularly at cove entrances in the Vegas Wash area. If you're having trouble finding bait, silver swimbaits around three inches are producing well as an alternative. Don't overlook Kastmasters and Jumpin Minnows for subsurface action too. Bass fishing remains challenging as the fish have moved deeper with the rising temperatures. The largemouth that were hitting well along shorelines a few weeks ago have now retreated to cooler, deeper water. If you're targeting bass, focus on deeper structure and consider fishing the weedy shorelines near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor which have been producing some decent action. There's also been some crappie action reported in the Overton Arm, with jigs being the presentation of choice, though reports indicate the bite has been sparse. For catfish enthusiasts, cut anchovies are working well in the evenings. Two hot spots to check out today: Boulder Basin has been consistently producing stripers for those trolling, and Government Wash has seen some good mixed bag action with catfish coming in after sunset. If you're heading out, be sure to bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and consider a quick stop at the bait shop for fresh anchovies. The locals are finding their best success by focusing on points and underwater humps early, then moving to shaded areas as the sun gets higher. Remember that these summer-like conditions mean fish are most active during the lower light periods, so adjust your fishing schedule accordingly. Many anglers are launching before sunrise and getting off the water by 10 AM, then returning for the evening bite around 5 PM. That's the word from Lake Mead today, folks.

The desert sun is already making itself known, with today pushing above 100 degrees by midday. Weather remains hot, dry, and mostly clear, with just a gentle morning breeze—typical spring conditions here. Sunrise is right around 5:44 am and sunset hits about 7:32 pm. With no tides to worry about on the lake, anglers should focus on those early morning and late evening windows before the heat really settles in[4]. Striped bass are definitely the big news this week. They’re biting well, especially on live shad and cut anchovies—anchovies are the go-to bait at Mead and they are producing steady numbers. Chunk an anchovy on the bottom near cove entrances, especially in the Vegas Wash and around Boulder Beach. If you’re throwing lures, three-inch silver swimbaits, Kastmasters, and Jumpin Minnows are getting good strikes when stripers are chasing subsurface[2][4]. Bass fishing has been a grind. Both largemouth and smallmouth are pushing deeper due to the heat, so target bass with slow finesse presentations—soft plastics on drop shots or jigs worked along drop-offs and structure. Some black bass are still coming out of the weedy shorelines near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor, but patience is key[1][2]. A few reports of crappie are trickling in from the Overton Arm, mostly on small jigs fished around submerged brush or rocky structure, but don’t expect big numbers there right now[2]. Catfish action is fair, especially at night, with cut anchovies attracting some decent fish along sandy flats or near the deeper marina docks. For hot spots, try the cove entrances in the Vegas Wash area for stripers, and don’t overlook Boulder Beach early or late. Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor are worth a shot if you’re after bass, but stay deep and fish slow. Overton Arm is your best bet for crappie if you’re willing to put in the effort[2][4]. Best times are right at sunrise and again just before sunset—beat the heat and you’ll have a shot at the best bite. Good luck out there, and stay cool!

A few reports of crappie are trickling in from the Overton Arm, mostly on small jigs fished around submerged brush or rocky structure, but don’t expect big numbers there right now[2]. Catfish action is fair, especially at night, with cut anchovies attracting some decent fish along sandy flats or near the deeper marina docks. For hot spots, try the cove entrances in the Vegas Wash area for stripers, and don’t overlook Boulder Beach early or late. Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor are worth a shot if you’re after bass, but stay deep and fish slow. Overton Arm is your best bet for crappie if you’re willing to put in the effort[2][4]. Best times are right at sunrise and again just before sunset—beat the heat and you’ll have a shot at the best bite. Good luck out there, and stay cool!

We are heading into another hot May weekend out here at Lake Mead with temperatures climbing above the century mark by midday. Sunrise was just after 540 am and sunset is set for a little after 740 pm so you have a solid window of prime fishing early and late. There is no tidal influence on Lake Mead since it is a freshwater reservoir. The bass bite has proven challenging this week as the largemouth and smallmouth are pushing into deeper, cooler water. Early mornings along weedy shorelines near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor have given some anglers success, especially with soft plastics rigged weedless or drop shot rigs fished along the edge of the cover. Try darker Senkos or finesse worms just at first light for your best chances. Striped bass remain active and are connecting well with live shad and cut anchovies. Boaters are finding striper schools at the cove entrances around the Vegas Wash and Boulder Basin. If you do not have bait, a three inch silver swimbait is a solid artificial backup. Kastmasters and Jumpin Minnows are also picking up stripers when they are cruising just below the surface. Some crappie have started to show themselves, especially up in the Overton Arm. Crappie jigs with a white or chartreuse curly tail fished near submerged brush will give you a shot at a few slabs. Catfish action is steady after dark or in the deep holes using cut anchovies or chicken liver. Most of the cats coming out now are in the one to four pound range. With this early heat, the best bite is definitely during the first two hours after sunrise and the last hour before sunset, when the sun is low and the water is coolest. For today your hotspots are the cove entrances near Vegas Wash for stripers and the rocky and weedy shorelines near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor for bass. If you are after crappie, make the run up to Overton Arm and look for submerged brush. Remember to stay hydrated, wear plenty of sun protection, and keep an eye on the weather as these hot days can sneak up on you. Fish early or fish late for your best chance at a productive Lake Mead outing. Tight lines and good luck out there. Based on reports from May 9th and 11th 2025[1][3].

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Mead fishing report for Friday, May 16, 2025. The heat's really kicking in now, folks, with temperatures climbing well above 100 degrees. If you're heading out today, you'll want to stick to early morning or late evening fishing. Sunrise was around 5:30 AM, and sunset will be just after 7:30 PM, giving you those golden hours to work with. The fish have been responding to the heat by moving deeper. The bass bite has been tougher this past week as they've shifted to deeper water. If you're targeting bass, try working the weedy shorelines near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor[1]. Stripers are the hot ticket right now. They've been hitting best on live shad and cut anchovies – those anchovies are always a winner at Lake Mead[4]. For those without live bait, three-inch silver swimbaits are producing solid results. Don't forget your Kastmasters and Jumpin Minnows for those subsurface fish[1]. Some decent crappie action is happening up in the Overton Arm if you're working jigs in that area[1]. The catfish have also been biting on cut anchovies, particularly for shore anglers. If you're taking the boat out, focus on the cove entrances in the Vegas Wash area – that's where folks have been having the most luck lately[1]. The water levels are still down from historical averages, so watch those submerged hazards. For you hot spot hunters, I'd recommend two places today: first, the coves around Callville Bay in the early morning – work those weedy edges with plastic worms or small crankbaits for bass. Second, try Boulder Basin for stripers – drift with anchovies or shad about 30-40 feet down. No specific tidal report since Lake Mead's a reservoir, but water releases from Hoover Dam can affect fishing conditions, so keep that in mind. The locals have been saying the bite's been a bit finicky with this heat, so patience is key. Bring plenty of water and sunscreen 'cause that desert sun doesn't mess around. That's all for today's report. Remember, the worst day fishing still beats the best day working! This is Artificial Lure signing off until next time. Tight lines, everyone!

We continue to see classic May desert heat out here, with daytime highs soaring over 100 degrees. Expect clear skies and steady sunshine. Sunrise is right around 5:33 AM and sunset at 7:39 PM, so your best windows are early mornings and late evenings when the fish are most active and the heat is less punishing[1][4]. Water temps are warming quickly, pushing many species deeper during the day. Black bass fishing has been described as good, but the bite is tougher now that they have moved off the beds and into deeper water. Anglers are having the best luck with drop-shot rigs and small creature baits, as well as deep-diving crankbaits. Focus your casts along the weedy shorelines near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor for largemouths, especially just after sunrise[1][4]. Smallmouth bass are also hitting plastics and jigs in coves with vegetation[4]. Striped bass action is strongest using live shad and cut anchovies. Shore anglers are doing well near Boxcar Cove and outside Hemenway Harbor. If you prefer artificials, three-inch silver swimbaits, Kastmasters, and Jumpin Minnows are drawing attention from subsurface stripers. Boaters are picking up numbers at cove entrances in the Vegas Wash area. Catfish are also starting to stir with the warmer water, and cut anchovies are your best bet for a big surprise after dark[1][4]. Crappie fishing is peaking now in the Overton Arm. Chartreuse jigs and tubes are working great around submerged brush and structure[1][4]. Some nice slabs have been reported recently, especially in the evenings as the sun starts to dip. The fish counts overall have been solid this past week, with stripers leading the way in numbers and a decent showing of black bass and crappie. Hot spots to check out include the Overton Arm for crappie, Boxcar Cove and Hemenway Harbor for stripers and bass, and Calville Bay for consistent action early or late[1][4]. Tidal influences are negligible here, so focus on water temps, light, and wind—calm, stable mornings are best. In summary, get out early or stick it out late for your best shot at active fish. Drop-shot rigs and crankbaits for bass, cut anchovies or shad for stripers and cats, and chartreuse jigs for crappie will keep your rod bent. Stay hydrated, fish smart around the heat, and good luck out there on Lake Mead[1][3][4]. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We're deep into our early summer pattern now, with temperatures already climbing well into the triple digits by mid-morning. If you're heading out today, you'll want to be on the water early – sunrise was at about 5:38 am and sunset will be around 7:36 pm, giving you those prime cooler hours to work with. Weather-wise, we're looking at another hot and dry day with clear skies and just a light breeze – typical desert conditions for this time of year. No tides to worry about here on our inland lake, but water levels have stabilized somewhat after the spring runoff. Bass fishing continues to be challenging as they've moved deeper with the increasing heat. Most anglers are finding that the largemouth and smallmouth are holding in 15-25 feet of water near structure. Your best bet is to work soft plastics slowly along drop-offs or try deep-diving crankbaits near submerged structure. The morning bite has been best before the sun gets too high. Stripers remain the hot ticket at Lake Mead right now. They're hitting cut anchovies consistently, especially in the early morning and evening hours. Live shad is working well too if you can net some. For those who prefer artificial lures, three-inch silver swimbaits, Kastmasters, and Jumpin Minnows are producing when targeting subsurface fish. The striper schools are moving around, but the cove entrances in the Vegas Wash area have been particularly productive. We're also seeing some decent crappie action, particularly in the Overton Arm. Small jigs in white or chartreuse fished around submerged brush are the ticket. Some nice catfish are being taken on cut anchovies as well, especially for night anglers willing to brave the darkness. For hot spots, I'd recommend trying Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor for bass – focus on the weedy shorelines during the first and last light. For stripers, the Vegas Wash area continues to produce consistently, particularly at the entrances to coves. Boulder Basin has also been giving up some nice stripers for those working deeper water with vertical presentations. One final tip for today's heat – make sure you're staying hydrated out there. The desert will suck the moisture right out of you before you know it, especially with the excitement of a good bite.

It is heating up quick here in southern Nevada, with daytime highs well past the 100-degree mark and classic cloudless desert skies. We are seeing those real summer patterns kick in, so plan on hitting the water early or late in the evening. Sunrise is around 5:44 am and sunset is 7:32 pm, giving you good windows to fish during those cooler hours. No tides to worry about—just keep an eye out for the breeze, which has been light and steady lately, making for comfortable conditions on the main lake if you get out before the heat cranks up[3]. Bass fishing has gotten a little tougher this week as both largemouth and smallmouth move deeper looking for cooler water. Your best shot for bass will be fishing slow and deep—drop shot soft plastics or drag a jig along steeper drop-offs near structure. A few nice black bass are still being caught along the weedy shorelines at Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor, but you’ll want to finesse through those areas with patience[1][3]. Striped bass continue to be the main attraction and anglers are finding success with live shad and cut anchovies, especially in the mornings and evenings. Anchovy chunks on the bottom are always a winner for stripers around here. If you prefer casting, try a three-inch silver swimbait, Kastmaster, or Jumpin Minnow for active striper schools. Boaters are turning up consistent numbers at cove entrances near the Vegas Wash area, so that’s a solid spot to try. There’s also some solid striper action near Boulder Beach and Government Wash[1][3]. Crappie are showing up in the Overton Arm for those fishing with jigs, so if you want to mix it up, bring a few small plastics or marabou jigs and work them near submerged brush or docks[1]. Catfish are cruising and biting well on cut anchovies in the evenings, especially from shore or docks once the sun gets low[1]. As for hot spots today, my picks are: Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor for black bass Vegas Wash cove entrances for stripers Overton Arm for crappie action Best baits and lures right now: Cut anchovies and live shad for stripers and catfish Three-inch silver swimbaits, Kastmasters, and Jumpin Minnows for stripers Soft plastics and jigs for bass and crappie That’s it for this week. Remember to hydrate, pack sun protection, and fish those golden hours at sunrise and sunset for your best shot at a big one. Good luck and tight lines from Artificial Lure at Lake Mead[1][3]!

Sunrise this morning came at 5:45 AM with sunset expected around 7:35 PM, giving you a broad window despite the desert heat cranking up fast. We’re seeing mostly sunny skies, calm winds, and daytime temps already clearing 100 degrees by midday. Plan to fish early or late to beat the heat and catch the most active fish. There is no significant tidal swing on Lake Mead since it’s a reservoir, so water level changes are mostly due to releases and inflow, but no rapid changes expected today. Striped bass are the headline this week. The bite is strong in the Vegas Wash and at the entrances to the main coves, especially early in the morning. Best action comes on live shad and cut anchovies, but if you prefer artificials, three-inch silver swimbaits, Kastmasters, and Jumpin Minnows are all catching fish just below the surface. Anglers have been hauling in stripers mostly in the 3 to 7 pound class, particularly right after sunrise and just before dusk[3][1]. Bass fishing has been trickier since the warm weather has pushed largemouth and smallmouth deeper during the hottest parts of the day. Target the weedy shorelines near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor at sunup and sundown. That’s when bass move shallow to feed. Natural-colored plastics like worms and finesse jigs are your best bet for coaxing bites along the weed beds and rocky points[1][3]. Crappie are making an appearance up in the Overton Arm, with jigs doing the most damage around submerged brush. Catfish and more stripers are coming on cut anchovy baits, especially at night or in the cooler hours[1]. This week’s hot spots are Vegas Wash for stripers and Calville Bay along with Hemenway Harbor for bass. If you’re chasing crappie, give the Overton Arm a try. In summary: Start early, bring plenty of water, and focus on live or cut bait for the big stripers. If you are going with lures, silver swimbaits and Kastmasters are the go-to. For bass, stick with natural plastics and jigs near weedy edges as the light comes up or goes down. Good luck and tight lines out there[3][1].

Folks, we're seeing some real desert heat kicking in early this year. Temperatures continue to climb above 100 degrees, so adjust your fishing schedule accordingly. Your best chances are coming during the early morning hours or late evening when the water's a bit cooler. Striped bass action remains solid this week. They're still hitting live shad and cut anchovies consistently, with three-inch silver swimbaits proving to be an effective alternative if you can't get bait. Kastmasters and Jumpin Minnows are also producing results, especially when targeting subsurface fish. The Vegas Wash area cove entrances are particularly productive for boaters targeting stripers. Bass fishing has gotten trickier as the fish have moved deeper with the warming water. They're still being caught along the weedy shorelines near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor. Patience is key right now as the bite has been somewhat slower compared to last week. Crappie action is picking up, particularly in the Overton Arm. Jigs have been the ticket for these tasty panfish, so make sure you've got a variety of colors in your tackle box. Catfish are responding well to cut anchovies in the evenings as the water warms. They're starting their summer pattern and should become more active in the coming weeks. Hot spots to check out this weekend: The coves around Vegas Wash are firing for stripers, while Calville Bay continues to produce decent black bass. For crappie enthusiasts, you'll want to hit the Overton Arm early in the morning before the sun gets high. Water levels have stabilized somewhat compared to recent years, giving us decent launch conditions at most ramps. Boulder Harbor and Hemenway remain your best bets for hassle-free launching. Remember, with these temperatures rising, bring plenty of water and sun protection. Nothing ruins a good fishing day faster than heat exhaustion. And as always, keep your eyes on those changing conditions – the fish are transitioning to their summer patterns, so flexibility is key. This is Artificial Lure signing off from Lake Mead.

They're still hitting live shad and cut anchovies consistently, with three-inch silver swimbaits proving to be an effective alternative if you can't get bait. Kastmasters and Jumpin Minnows are also producing results, especially when targeting subsurface fish. The Vegas Wash area cove entrances are particularly productive for boaters targeting stripers. Bass fishing has gotten trickier as the fish have moved deeper with the warming water. They're still being caught along the weedy shorelines near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor. Patience is key right now as the bite has been somewhat slower compared to last week. Crappie action is picking up, particularly in the Overton Arm. Jigs have been the ticket for these tasty panfish, so make sure you've got a variety of colors in your tackle box. Catfish are responding well to cut anchovies in the evenings as the water warms. They're starting their summer pattern and should become more active in the coming weeks. Hot spots to check out this weekend: The coves around Vegas Wash are firing for stripers, while Calville Bay continues to produce decent black bass. For crappie enthusiasts, you'll want to hit the Overton Arm early in the morning before the sun gets high. Water levels have stabilized somewhat compared to recent years, giving us decent launch conditions at most ramps. Boulder Harbor and Hemenway remain your best bets for hassle-free launching. Remember, with these temperatures rising, bring plenty of water and sun protection. Nothing ruins a good fishing day faster than heat exhaustion. And as always, keep your eyes on those changing conditions – the fish are transitioning to their summer patterns, so flexibility is key. This is Artificial Lure signing off from Lake Mead. Tight lines, everyone, and I'll catch you on the water!

The desert heat is really kicking in early this week, with temperatures climbing well above 100 degrees by midday. Because of the heat, the best fishing action is happening during the cooler early mornings and late evenings. Sunrise today was just before 6:15 AM, and sunset will be around 7:20 PM, so you’ve got plenty of time to get out there during those prime cooler periods. Water levels in Lake Mead remain a bit lower than usual, pushing some species deeper, so plan your strategies accordingly. The bass bite has been a bit tougher lately because the black bass are moving into deeper water to stay cool. However, if you target the weedy shorelines near Callville Bay and Hemenway Harbor, you can still find largemouth and smallmouth bass active in the early morning. Using green pumpkin and watermelon soft plastics, spinnerbaits, or square-bill crankbaits seems to get the best results for bass around these areas. Striped bass are continuing to provide solid action, especially around the cove entrances near Vegas Wash and Boulder Basin. The stripers have been feeding heavily on live shad and cut anchovies, which remain the top choice for bait. If you prefer artificial lures, three-inch silver swimbaits, Kastmasters, and Jumpin Minnows are catching plenty of subsurface fish. Early morning and dusk are the key times for hitting striper hard. Casting or trolling these lures in those fringes where baitfish congregate tends to be productive. Crappie anglers should check out the Overton Arm, where jigs are still bringing decent action, especially near submerged structures. Catfish are taking cut anchovies well in the evening hours too, so if you like nighttime fishing, that’s a good option. Two hot spots I recommend today would be the weed lines along Callville Bay for bass and the cove entrances around Vegas Wash for stripers. Both locations have been producing steadily despite the warmer conditions. In summary, the key to success now is to fish the cooler parts of the day, use live or fresh cut bait where possible for stripers and catfish, and target structure with soft plastics or crankbaits for bass. The water clarity is good, and a gentle breeze will help keep fish active near shorelines and deeper drop-offs. Get out there early or come back at dusk, and you should see some solid catches today. Good luck and tight lines! This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for Monday, May 5, 2025. Another hot desert day is upon us with temperatures expected to hit triple digits by midday. It's currently clear skies with just a light breeze – perfect early morning conditions before the heat kicks in. No tides to worry about on our freshwater paradise, but you'll want to time your fishing with the cooler hours. Sunrise was at 5:43 am and sunset will be around 7:33 pm tonight. The heat pattern continues to push our fish deeper, folks. Over the weekend, both largemouth and smallmouth bass have been retreating to cooler, deeper waters. If you're targeting bass today, you'll need to slow your presentation down and focus on structure in deeper zones. Soft plastics worked slowly near drop-offs have been producing decent results, especially around Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor, but you'll need some patience and finesse. Striped bass remain the hot ticket at Lake Mead right now. They're hitting consistently on live shad and cut anchovies – those anchovies are absolute money at Mead, as always. For quantity fishing, chunk those anchovies and fish them off the bottom during mornings and evenings. If you're casting, silver swimbaits around 3 inches, Kastmasters, and Jumpin Minnows have all been effective when the stripers are actively feeding subsurface. For you striper hunters, the cove entrances around Vegas Wash area have been particularly productive for boaters. I'm also hearing good reports from Boulder Basin if you're looking to fill a cooler. Catfish action has been hit or miss lately, but worth a try if you've got some extra anchovies. With these warming temperatures, I expect the catfish bite to improve in the coming days. As for hot spots, I'd recommend giving Government Wash a try early this morning – several anglers reported good striper action there yesterday. Echo Bay has also been producing some quality fish for those willing to make the trip. Remember, with these temperatures climbing, it's critical to hit the water either at first light or in those golden hours before sunset. Stay hydrated out there, keep your catch cool, and treat our beautiful Lake Mead with respect. This is Artificial Lure signing off – tight lines and see you on the water!

Folks, we're continuing to see that desert heat cranking up early this year. Today's looking to hit around 89 degrees by mid-afternoon, with a gentle breeze from the southeast at about 5-8 mph. Sunrise was at 5:43 AM, and we'll see sunset tonight at 7:32 PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours on the water. Lake Mead's water temperature has climbed to 72 degrees in the shallows, pushing a lot of the bass action deeper as we move into this early summer pattern. The water level is rising very slowly, which is good news after the past few years. The striped bass bite has been steady this past week, especially in the early mornings. Anglers working the deep points near Boulder Basin with anchovies and cut bait are pulling in decent numbers, with some reports of 3-5 pounders being common. If you're a lure guy like me, try white swim baits or silver spoons at depths between 25-40 feet once the sun gets high. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are transitioning to their summer patterns. They've moved off their spawning beds, and the most productive fishing has been happening in the 15-25 foot range near structure. Texas-rigged worms in watermelon or pumpkin colors have been productive, as have deep-diving crankbaits in shad patterns. Crappie fishing has been hit or miss, but if you locate a school, you can fill a cooler pretty quick. Small jigs tipped with minnows around submerged brush piles in Overton Arm have been the ticket. For those looking for hot spots, I'd recommend the backs of coves in the Temple Bar area where you'll find some decent shade and structure for bass, or try Hemenway Harbor for striper action. The Government Wash area has also been producing some quality fish, especially if you're willing to get out there before the sun comes up. Catfish action is picking up nicely in the evenings, particularly around Las Vegas Bay. Chicken liver or cut shad have been working well when fished along the bottom. Remember to stay hydrated out there as we're getting into that time of year when the desert heat can sneak up on you. Bring plenty of water, wear your sun protection, and don't forget your fishing license. This is Artificial Lure signing off for today.

We’re seeing classic early May conditions around the lake. Sunrise was at 5:45 AM and sunset rolls in at 7:35 PM, giving anglers a long window for action. The weather is shaping up warm and dry, with temperatures climbing past 100 degrees by midday, so the best bites are happening in the cooler early mornings and just before dusk. Expect mostly sunny skies and calm winds—ideal for working both the shore and open water. Striped bass are the star of the show this week. Anglers are having good luck trolling and casting near the Vegas Wash and the cove entrances, especially with live shad and cut anchovies. For those leaning toward artificials, three-inch silver swimbaits as well as Kastmasters and Jumpin Minnows are getting solid results just under the surface. Some nice stripers have been landed in the 3 to 7-pound range, mostly early before the lake heats up too much[1]. Bass fishing—both largemouth and smallmouth—has been a touch more challenging after a hot stretch pushed the fish deeper during the day, but try the weedy shorelines around Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor at sunup or sundown. The bite picks up in these areas as the bass move up shallow to feed and prepare for the tail end of their spawn. Natural-colored plastics and finesse jigs have been go-to picks for working the edges and weed beds[1][5]. Don’t overlook the crappie either. Overton Arm has produced some nice slabs lately on small jigs, especially if you can find submerged brush or rock piles off points. Catfish are active after dark in the same coves, especially if you toss in cut anchovies or chicken liver and settle in for a night bite[1]. Lake Mead’s water levels have remained steady and since there’s no tidal effect here, pay attention to where structure and current are strongest. Top hot spots for this week include the Vegas Wash area for stripers and the weedy shallows around Calville Bay for bass. Overton Arm gets another nod for crappie and the occasional bonus catfish. To sum it up: focus on the early or late hours, bring both bait and artificials, and move around until you locate those active schools. Plenty of fish are being caught, from hefty stripers to a mix of bass and panfish. Tight lines, and I’ll see you on the water[1][5].

The desert’s heating up fast and we’re already seeing those triple-digit temperatures, so it’s best to hit the water early or wait until just before sunset. Sunrise today is around 5:44 am, and sunset’s set for 7:32 pm, giving you a sweet window to fish during cooler hours. No tides to worry about here, but the weather has been hot, dry, and clear, with just a light breeze—classic Lake Mead spring conditions. Bass fishing has gotten a bit tough this past week as both largemouth and smallmouth are moving deeper to escape the heat. You’ll want to fish deeper water with slow presentations if you’re targeting bass. Try working soft plastics near structure or dragging jigs along drop-offs. The weedy shorelines around Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor have still given up a few nice black bass, but patience and a finesse approach are your best bet right now[1]. Striped bass are the main story at the moment. They’re hitting best on live shad and cut anchovies—anchovies are always a winner at Lake Mead. If you’re after numbers, chunk up some anchovies and fish them off the bottom, especially in the mornings and evenings. Silver swimbaits around three inches, Kastmasters, and Jumpin Minnows are also pulling in stripers when subsurface fish are active. Boaters are finding good striper action at cove entrances around the Vegas Wash area[1]. For those interested in panfish, crappie activity has picked up in the Overton Arm. Small jigs bounced near submerged brush or drop-offs are catching a few slabs. Catfish are also starting to bite, with anglers using cut anchovies after dark seeing some success. Quick rundown on what’s working: - Best lures: Silver swimbaits, Kastmasters, Jumpin Minnows, and soft plastics for bass - Best bait: Live shad and cut anchovies, both for stripers and catfish - Timing: Early morning and late evening are key due to rising temps Hot spots to try include the weedy edges by Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor for bass, and the cove entrances near Vegas Wash for stripers. For crappie, Overton Arm is your best shot. The fishing’s still rated good overall as long as you adapt to the conditions and beat the heat by starting early or finishing late[1].

We are rolling into classic spring weather today. Expect clear skies and crisp air, with the highs peaking in the low 70s. First light hit at 614 a.m. and you can fish until sunset at 723 p.m. Winds are mild and the water levels are steady, making for easy launching and comfortable boat rides. Since Lake Mead is landlocked, there is no tide influence to worry about. Bass fishing is hot right now as both largemouth and smallmouth are active and moving into shallower areas, especially early and late in the day. Most anglers are catching bass in the 2 to 4 pound range, with a few heavier five pounders reported this week. Bass are staging on beds in the shallow coves, especially near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor. Your best bet is green pumpkin or watermelon soft plastics, spinnerbaits, and football jigs tipped with craw trailers. Early mornings and shady banks have been great for topwater lures like Zara Spooks. For sight fishing, jerkbaits and crankbaits in purple or craw colors have also produced solid action. Striped bass are showing up in good numbers, particularly in the deeper sections and at the cove entrances around Vegas Wash. Most are being taken on live shad and cut anchovies, but three inch silver swimbaits and Kastmasters have been working well for anglers targeting them below the surface. Some stripers pushing the ten pound mark have been caught, and there are even reports of the occasional twenty pounder. If you find a boil, toss a topwater bait in for some fast action. Crappie action is steady, especially up in the Overton Arm where 10 to 12 inch slabs have been caught regularly this week. Small jigs are the ticket—bring a selection of colors to see what they want day to day. Catfish are starting to stir, with cut baits like anchovies drawing bites around sunset and after dark. For hotspots, set your sights on the rocky points and coves at Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor for both bass and stripers. Overton Arm remains your go-to for crappie and is worth a visit if you want some tasty panfish to take home. That’s the report for today. The weather is perfect and the bite is on, so grab those rods and enjoy a day on Lake Mead. Tight lines, folks.

We’re having another classic spring day for fishing out here with perfect conditions greeting anglers since sunrise at 6:14 AM. Look for sunset at 7:23 PM giving you a generous window for casting lines. Skies are clear again with temperatures hitting the low 70s, rising toward the 80s as the day goes on. Winds should stay calm, with just enough breeze in the afternoon to liven up the bite a bit. The water is steady and Lake Mead may be landlocked, but the fish have been anything but stuck in a rut. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are pushing in shallow, especially mornings and late evenings as they start thinking about the spawn. There have been lots of 2-to-4 pounders landed lately and some pushing up to 5 pounds. Best action for bass is happening along the weedy shorelines near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor. If you’re fishing for bass, try Texas-rigged plastics, green pumpkin jigs, or shallow-diving crankbaits. Don’t be afraid to skip a senko under the shady spots if the sun gets high. It’s a striper show for much of the lake right now, with 5-to-10 pounders coming steady, especially from Boulder Basin and Hemenway Harbor. Anchovy chunks and live shad are still king for stripers, but if you want to cover more water, tie on a three-inch silver swimbait or try trolling a deep-diving crankbait in a shad pattern. Kastmasters and Jumpin Minnows are also catching subsurface stripers for the folks working points and ledges. Crappie have started popping off nicely up in the Overton Arm. Anglers are filling stringers with fish in the 10-to-12 inch range. Small jigs and minnows near submerged brush or docks are the ticket—look for quiet pockets off the main channel. With water temps warming by the hour, best fishing is still early and late. Catfish have also shown up for folks soaking cut bait or nightcrawlers at cove entrances, especially around the Vegas Wash area. No tidal swings to worry about, just keep a close eye on water levels and launch ramps. Hot spots this week: Hemenway Harbor for stripers and bass, Overton Arm for crappie, and Calville Bay shorelines for early-morning bass. Get out here early, enjoy the spring bite, and as always, if the fish aren’t biting, change up your depth and keep moving. Tight lines from your local expert, Artificial Lure.

Wed, 23 Apr 2025 07:31:18 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI Artificial Lure reporting from Lake Mead on this fine April 23, 2025. We’re having another classic spring day for fishing out here with perfect conditions greeting anglers since sunrise at 6:14 AM. Look for sunset at 7:23 PM giving you a generous window for casting lines. Skies are clear again with temperatures hitting the low 70s, rising toward the 80s as the day goes on. Winds should stay calm, with just enough breeze in the afternoon to liven up the bite a bit. The water is steady and Lake Mead may be landlocked, but the fish have been anything but stuck in a rut. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are pushing in shallow, especially mornings and late evenings as they start thinking about the spawn. There have been lots of 2-to-4 pounders landed lately and some pushing up to 5 pounds. Best action for bass is happening along the weedy shorelines near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor. If you’re fishing for bass, try Texas-rigged plastics, green pumpkin jigs, or shallow-diving crankbaits. Don’t be afraid to skip a senko under the shady spots if the sun gets high. It’s a striper show for much of the lake right now, with 5-to-10 pounders coming steady, especially from Boulder Basin and Hemenway Harbor. Anchovy chunks and live shad are still king for stripers, but if you want to cover more water, tie on a three-inch silver swimbait or try trolling a deep-diving crankbait in a shad pattern. Kastmasters and Jumpin Minnows are also catching subsurface stripers for the folks working points and ledges. Crappie have started popping off nicely up in the Overton Arm. Anglers are filling stringers with fish in the 10-to-12 inch range. Small jigs and minnows near submerged brush or docks are the ticket—look for quiet pockets off the main channel. With water temps warming by the hour, best fishing is still early and late. Catfish have also shown up for folks soaking cut bait or nightcrawlers at cove entrances, especially around the Vegas Wash area. No tidal swings to worry about, just keep a close eye on water levels and launch ramps. Hot spots this week: Hemenway Harbor for stripers and bass, Overton Arm for crappie, and Calville Bay shorelines for early-morning bass.

We’re enjoying a beautiful run of classic spring weather on Mead right now. Today’s forecast calls for sunny skies, highs in the low 70s, and light breezes. First light hit at 6:14 a.m. and you’ll have daylight all the way through sunset at 7:23 p.m. The lake remains steady on water levels, with no tidal influence to worry about since we’re landlocked out here. All in all, it’s prime time to get out and fish. Fish activity is turned up, with all the usual suspects biting well. The bass bite is especially strong—both largemouth and smallmouth are up shallow in the mornings and evenings as they stage for the spawn. Most folks are landing bass between 2 and 4 pounds, but we’ve seen a few fat 5-pounders caught this week, especially smallies. Striped bass are schooling up in deeper water and are hitting hard, with regular catches in the 5-10 pound range and reports of a couple over 20 pounds landed recently. The crappie bite is also hot, particularly up on the Overton Arm, with fish averaging 10 to 12 inches. As far as what’s working, green pumpkin or watermelon soft plastics have been the ticket for bass. Spinnerbaits and football jigs with craw trailers are producing in deeper or rocky spots. If you’re out early or working shaded edges, tie on a topwater like a Zara Spook—those surface strikes have been aggressive. For stripers, cut anchovies are still the gold standard, fished deep or even trolled behind the boat. Crappie are hitting well on small jigs and minnow baits. If you’re looking for hot spots, Overton Arm is hands down your best bet for crappie right now. For bass and stripers, try Government Wash and Boulder Basin, especially along points with structure. The Narrows is also holding solid numbers of stripers right now. With the weather settled, water temps ideal, and fish in full spring pattern, there isn’t a much better time to hit Lake Mead. Good luck, and I’ll see you on the water! This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Spring is really showing off, and fishing conditions are just about perfect right now. Sunrise came at 6:14 AM and sunset will be at 7:23 PM, so there’s plenty of daylight to get on the water and make something happen. It’s a beautiful day out here, with clear skies and the temperature sitting comfortably in the low 70s. Winds are calm and steady, offering some of the nicest fishing weather we’ve seen in a while[1][4]. While Lake Mead is landlocked and unaffected by ocean tides, water levels have remained steady, which only helps the bite. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are active, making pushes into shallow coves and rocky points, especially in the early morning and evening as they prepare for the spring spawn. Most bass being caught are in the healthy 2 to 4-pound range, and there have been a few pushing 5 pounds. The best lures this week have been green pumpkin or watermelon soft plastics, spinnerbaits, and square-bill crankbaits[1][4]. Work these around submerged vegetation and rocky points, particularly near Callville Bay. Striped bass fishing is booming too, especially out in the deeper water. Anglers are reporting stripers in the 5 to 10-pound range as an average, with some hauling in fish over 20 pounds, particularly by trolling deep-diving crankbaits or silver spoons. Cut anchovies and live shad are also catching plenty of stripers, with Boulder Basin and Hemenway Harbor being the top spots lately[1][4][5]. Crappie are still biting well up in the Overton Arm, with fish from 10 to 12 inches being common. Small jigs are the go-to for crappie at the moment[1][5]. A couple of hot spots worth checking out today: First, the coves around Callville Bay for bass, especially at sunrise and sunset. Second, Boulder Basin and Hemenway Harbor for those chasing stripers. And if you’re after a mixed bag, take a run up to Overton Arm for crappie and maybe a bonus bass or striper. In short, you really can’t go wrong with green pumpkin soft plastics or spinnerbaits for bass, and live shad or cut anchovies for stripers. Today’s weather, stable water, and fish on the move mean you ought to get your line wet and see what Lake Mead’s spring has in store. Tight lines, and happy fishing[1][2][4].

Today’s forecast calls for sunny skies and warm temps right in the low 70s, with a slight breeze making for picture-perfect conditions out on the lake. As always, being a landlocked reservoir, there’s no tidal swing to worry about—just focus on wind, weather, and water temps to find your bite window. Fish activity is in full swing. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are pushing up into the shallows early and late in the day as they prep for the spawn. Anglers are reporting bass from 2 to 4 pounds regularly, with the occasional 5-pounder. Your best bet is to work green pumpkin or watermelon soft plastics, spinnerbaits, and square-bill crankbaits along rocky points and coves, especially around Callville Bay. The early morning and late afternoon windows are the prime time for these bass, so set your alarms and don’t sleep in[1][4]. Striped bass are still the headliners out here, with lots of action in deeper water. Most stripers are coming in between 5 and 10 pounds, with reports of fish over 20 pounds sprinkled in. The hot ticket is live shad or cut anchovies, but don’t overlook white swimbaits or trolling deep-diving crankbaits and silver spoons. Boulder Basin and Hemenway Harbor have both been productive for numbers and size—these are definitely two hot spots you’ll want to hit[4]. Crappie are also on the chew, especially in the Overton Arm. Anglers are catching crappie in the 10- to 12-inch range with regularity. Go with small jigs or live minnows near submerged brush or rocky structure for your best shot at filling a stringer[1]. For bait, live shad and cut anchovies remain the go-to for stripers, while crappie are hitting on small jigs or live minnows. Bass are all about those soft plastics and spinnerbaits right now, especially in natural colors.

We’re greeted with classic spring conditions out on the big lake today—clear skies, highs topping out in the low 70s, and just a bit of a breeze to keep things comfortable. First light is around 6:14 a.m. and sunset will be at 7:23 p.m., giving you plenty of daylight to chase your next trophy. No tides to worry about since we’re landlocked, and water levels have been holding steady this week, so get out while the bite’s hot[4][2]. Fish activity is strong across all the go-to species. The bass bite is really picking up, with largemouth and smallmouth both pushing up shallow mornings and evenings as they stage up for the spawn. Most catches are coming in between 2 and 4 pounds, but a few chunky 5-pound smallies have made headlines this week. Your best bets for bass: green pumpkin or watermelon soft plastics, spinnerbaits, and football jigs with craw trailers. Early morning or in shaded stretches, topwater lures like Zara Spooks are drawing some aggressive strikes—don’t be afraid to throw those spooks right up into the skinny water[4][7][10]. Striper fishing remains excellent, with fish averaging 5 to 10 pounds and some hitting the scales at 20-plus. Best success is coming on live shad or fresh-cut anchovies, especially in deeper water around Callville Bay, Boulder Basin, and Hemenway Harbor. Trolling deep-diving crankbaits or vertically jigging silver spoons in 30 to 50 feet has also been productive—look for those bait balls on your electronics and get after them[4][5][6]. Crappie are lighting it up in the Overton Arm, mostly running 10 to 12 inches. Small white or chartreuse jigs, especially tipped with a minnow, are pulling numbers from rocky outcrops and brush piles. Catfish are a bit more hit or miss, but patient anglers working Vegas Wash and Boulder Beach in the evenings with cut anchovy or chicken liver are bringing a few chunky cats over the gunwales[4][5]. For hot spots today: Overton Arm is your best bet for both bass and crappie. For stripers, I’d start at Callville Bay, Boulder Basin, or Hemenway Harbor. If you’re fishing from the bank, check out Government Wash and Boulder Beach for a mixed bag of stripers and catfish[4][5]. The spring bite is definitely on. Make sure your license is current—Nevada or Arizona as needed—and keep an eye out for submerged hazards if you’re boating. That’s your report from Artificial Lure.

Weather is looking just about perfect—clear skies, highs in the low 70s, and only a light breeze. The water’s been steady, and the bite has picked up with spring in full swing. Right now, fish activity is strong across the board. The bass—both largemouth and smallmouth—are cruising shallower water mornings and evenings as they stage up for the spawn. Anglers are consistently boating bass in the 2-4 pound range, and a few chunky 5-pounders have been landed. Best bets for bass are soft plastics in green pumpkin or watermelon, spinnerbaits, and football jigs with craw trailers. Early morning or in shaded banks, topwater lures like Zara Spooks are drawing aggressive strikes. Striped bass are still the main event, and folks are bringing up some solid fish. Most are averaging 5 to 10 pounds, though there have been a couple caught well over 20 pounds. Best baits are live shad or fresh-cut anchovies, especially if you’re fishing deeper water in Callville Bay, Boulder Basin, or Hemenway Harbor. If you’re an artificial lure fan, try trolling deep-diving crankbaits or jig up a silver spoon in 30 to 50 feet of water—stripers are tracking bait balls, so watch for those. Crappie fishing is on fire, especially if you head up to the Overton Arm. Most fish are running 10 to 12 inches and are eager to take small white or chartreuse jigs, especially if you tip them with a minnow. Rocky outcrops and submerged brush piles are the key areas to target for crappie right now. Catfish are a bit more hit-or-miss but can be found in the evenings near the Vegas Wash and Boulder Beach on cut anchovy, chicken liver, or stinkbaits. With the spring temps, most of the action—across all species—has been early and late, so plan accordingly. For hot spots today, put Overton Arm on your list for bass and crappie, and check out Callville Bay, Boulder Basin, and Hemenway Harbor for stripers. Government Wash and Boulder Beach are solid from the bank for a mixed bag, including stripers and cats. No tides to worry about here since Lake Mead is landlocked, and water levels have been stable.

Here’s your April 14, 2025, fishing report for Lake Mead, Nevada. The weather on this fine spring day is shaping up to be fantastic for fishing. Clear skies dominate, with temperatures forecasted to range from the 70s to low 80s. Sunrise today was at 6:15 AM, and sunset will be at 7:18 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to hit the water. Wind is expected to be light, but enough to stir up some fish activity, particularly in the late afternoon when waters warm. Striped bass remain the main attraction, with consistent reports of 5-10 pounders being pulled from the waters around Boulder Basin and Hemenway Harbor. Anglers are seeing great success with live shad and cut anchovies. For those who prefer artificial baits, silver swimbaits and trolling deep-diving crankbaits in shad patterns are good bets. Early morning and dusk are the prime times for striper bites. Bass fishing, both largemouth and smallmouth, is also heating up as the spring spawn approaches. The fish are active in shallow coves with vegetation and rocky points, especially in areas like Callville Bay. Green pumpkin and watermelon soft plastics, spinnerbaits, and square-bill crankbaits are working wonders. If you’re targeting bigger bites, try a Zara Spook or other topwater lure early in the morning. Crappie fishing is productive in the Overton Arm, where anglers report landing 10-12 inch fish using white or chartreuse jigs tipped with minnows. For catfish enthusiasts, the Vegas Wash area continues to be a reliable spot, particularly in the evenings. Stinkbaits, chicken liver, and cut shad are your go-to baits for channel cats. For those looking for hotspots, here are two recommendations: 1. *Hemenway Harbor*: A striper haven during the cooler morning and evening hours. Anchovies and live shad work wonders here. 2. *Callville Bay coves*: This is the place for bass anglers, with excellent action near submerged vegetation and structure. If you’re after variety, always have a mix of baits and lures handy. Bright, natural colors like white, silver, and green pumpkin work best to mimic baitfish and crawfish. Don’t forget to bring finesse setups for shy fish and pack spinnerbaits to cover water effectively. Overall, today promises excellent fishing opportunities at Lake Mead. Remember to grab your Nevada or Arizona fishing license before heading out and keep an eye on submerged rocks due to the lake's lower water levels. Tight lines, and may your nets be full!

For catfish enthusiasts, the Vegas Wash area continues to be a reliable spot, particularly in the evenings. Stinkbaits, chicken liver, and cut shad are your go-to baits for channel cats. For those looking for hotspots, here are two recommendations: 1. *Hemenway Harbor*: A striper haven during the cooler morning and evening hours. Anchovies and live shad work wonders here. 2. *Callville Bay coves*: This is the place for bass anglers, with excellent action near submerged vegetation and structure. If you’re after variety, always have a mix of baits and lures handy. Bright, natural colors like white, silver, and green pumpkin work best to mimic baitfish and crawfish. Don’t forget to bring finesse setups for shy fish and pack spinnerbaits to cover water effectively. Overall, today promises excellent fishing opportunities at Lake Mead. Remember to grab your Nevada or Arizona fishing license before heading out and keep an eye on submerged rocks due to the lake's lower water levels. Tight lines, and may your nets be full!

Artificial Lure here, bringing you the latest fishing report for Lake Mead on Sunday, April 13, 2025. It’s shaping up to be another ideal spring day on the water. Sunrise was at 6:14 AM and sunset will fall at 7:23 PM, offering plenty of time to reel in some beauties. While Lake Mead is landlocked, its water levels have been steady, and recent weather conditions have been favorable for fishing. Today’s forecast shows sunny skies and warm temperatures in the low 70s, with calm winds—perfect conditions for casting. Activity for various fish species is strong right now. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are found moving into shallower waters during the mornings and evenings as they prepare for their spawn. Anglers have been consistently landing bass in the 2-4 pound range, with some hitting 5 pounds. Striped bass are active as well and continue to favor deep waters, with fish weighing up to 10 pounds commonly reported and even a few over 20 pounds mixed in. Crappie are also biting well, especially in the Overton Arm area, with 10-12 inch catches being the norm. When it comes to bait and lures, recent success has been achieved with a variety of setups: - **For bass**, soft plastics in green pumpkin and watermelon colors, spinnerbaits, and football jigs with craw trailers have been particularly effective. Topwater lures, such as Zara Spooks, are another great choice for largemouth early in the day or when targeting shaded areas. - **For stripers**, live shad or cut anchovies remain the top producers. If you prefer artificial lures, try trolling deep-diving crankbaits or working jigging spoons in 30-50 feet of water. - **For crappie**, small jigs tipped with minnows are working wonders, especially near submerged vegetation or rocky structures. If you're looking for hotspot recommendations, here are a couple of prime locations: 1. **The Overton Arm**: Great for largemouth bass and crappie, especially around submerged brush and rocky outcrops. 2. **Callville Bay and Boulder Basin**: Deep waters here are productive for stripers; keep an eye out for bait balls and run your lures through them. A reminder to stay safe and keep your fishing license on hand—it’s required whether you’re on the Nevada or Arizona side of the lake. Enjoy the calm waters, tight lines, and big catches.

Striped bass are the highlight of the week, with catches averaging 5-10 pounds, and a handful of hefty fish over 15 pounds reported.

Deep-diving crankbaits and spoons are also producing, especially around Hemenway Harbor and the deeper waters near Boulder Basin. For stripers, trolling in these areas is paying off well. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are making their way into shallower waters as the season progresses. Look for these fighters in coves with submerged vegetation or rocky points near Callville Bay. Soft plastics in green pumpkin and watermelon, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits have been top producers. The bite is strongest early in the morning and late afternoon when water temperatures are ideal. Crappie activity is picking up too, particularly in the Overton Arm. White or chartreuse jigs tipped with minnows have been the go-to bait, with anglers pulling in healthy 10- to 12-inch fish. Meanwhile, channel catfish are staying active in the evenings, especially near Vegas Wash, with stinkbaits, chicken liver, and cut shad bringing steady results. Hot spots to hit today include the coves near Callville Bay for bass, Boulder Basin for stripers, and Overton Arm for crappie. If you’re after channel catfish, the Vegas Wash area is a prime spot to set up in the evening. For lures, topwater options like Zara Spooks, inline spinners, and chatterbaits are good bets for bass and stripers in the morning. During the day, deep-diving crankbaits and soft plastics will help you target fish around structures. Don’t forget to stick with natural colors like white, silver, or green pumpkin to mimic local baitfish and craws. With these conditions and the fish biting, today is a perfect day to head out on Lake Mead. Gear up, stay safe, and enjoy some phenomenal spring fishing. Tight lines, everyone!

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Mead fishing report for March 31, 2025. We've got another beautiful day ahead of us with sunny skies and temperatures reaching a high of 80°F. Sunrise was at 6:10 AM, and we're looking at sunset around 6:50 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to work with. No tides to worry about on this landlocked lake, but keep an eye on those water levels - they've been slowly rising with the recent rains. The fishing action has been heating up as we move into spring. Striped bass have been the stars of the show lately, with anglers pulling in good numbers in the 2-6 pound range, and a few lunkers over 10 pounds reported. They're hitting live shad and cut anchovies the most, but don't overlook those 3-inch silver swimbaits. If you're after a reaction bite, try Kastmasters or Jumpin' Minnows for those subsurface stripers. Largemouth and smallmouth bass fishing has picked up too. The afternoon bite's been particularly hot as the water warms up. Finesse techniques like drop-shotting and Neko rigs with 4-inch worms in green pumpkin or watermelon red have been producing consistently. For you power fishermen, don't forget to throw some spinnerbaits or crankbaits around rocky points and submerged structure. Crappie action is starting to heat up in the Overton Arm. Jigs in white or chartreuse have been the ticket, especially when tipped with a minnow. We've been seeing some nice catches in the 10-12 inch range. As for hot spots, I'd recommend checking out the coves near Callville Bay or the points around Boulder Beach. The Vegas Wash area has also been producing some quality fish lately. For you striper hunters, try the deep water near Boulder Basin or Callville Bay. Remember, Lake Mead's water level is still low, so be careful out there and watch for those submerged hazards. Also, heads up that Echo Bay launch ramp is down to one lane until April 6th for some dock work, so plan accordingly if you're heading that way. That's all for now, folks.

Fish activity has been picking up as we move deeper into spring. The striped bass bite has been on fire lately! Anglers have been pulling in good numbers of stripers in the 2-6 pound range, with a few lunkers over 10 pounds reported. They're hitting live shad and cut anchovies the most, but don't overlook those 3-inch silver swimbaits. If you're after a reaction bite, try Kastmasters or Jumpin' Minnows for those subsurface stripers. Largemouth and smallmouth bass fishing has picked up too. The afternoon bite's been particularly hot as the water warms up. Finesse techniques like drop-shotting and Neko rigs with 4-inch worms in green pumpkin or watermelon red have been producing consistently. For you power fishermen, don't forget to throw some spinnerbaits or crankbaits around rocky points and submerged structure. Crappie action is starting to heat up in the Overton Arm. Jigs in white or chartreuse have been the ticket, especially when tipped with a minnow. As for hot spots, I'd recommend checking out the coves near Callville Bay or the points around Boulder Beach. The Vegas Wash area has also been producing some quality fish lately. Remember, Lake Mead's water level is still low, so be careful out there and watch for those submerged hazards.

No tides to worry about on this landlocked lake, but keep an eye on those water levels - they've been slowly rising with the recent rains. Fish activity has been picking up as we move into spring. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are starting to move into shallower waters, especially in the early mornings and late evenings. Striped bass are still hanging deep but are becoming more active. This past week, anglers have been having good luck with largemouth in the 2-4 pound range, with a few 5-pounders mixed in. Stripers in the 5-10 pound class have been common, with reports of a few 20+ pounders being landed. Crappie fishing has also been decent, with good numbers of 10-12 inchers being caught. For bass, soft plastics like worms and creature baits in green pumpkin or watermelon colors have been productive. Jigs and spinnerbaits are also working well. For stripers, try trolling with deep-diving crankbaits or jigging spoons in 30-50 feet of water. Live shad or anchovies are still the top bait for stripers if you're going the live bait route. A couple of hot spots to check out: The Overton Arm has been producing some nice largemouth, especially around submerged brush and rock piles. For stripers, try the deep water near Callville Bay or Boulder Basin. Remember to stay safe out there and keep an eye on those changing water levels. Tight lines, everyone!

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Mead fishing report for March 19, 2025. Let's start with the basics - sunrise is at 6:42 AM and sunset at 6:55 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to work with. Weather's looking mighty fine today with highs around 75°F and light winds under mostly sunny skies. Perfect conditions to be out on the water! Now, onto the fishing action. Folks, the bite is heating up as we transition into spring. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are getting more active in the shallows, especially during the early morning and late evening hours. We're seeing good numbers of 2-4 pounders, with a few chunky 5-6 pound bass mixed in for those willing to put in the work. Striped bass are still hanging out in deeper water, but they're starting to move up. Anglers are having luck trolling with deep-diving crankbaits in shad patterns or anchoring up and fishing cut anchovies in 30-50 feet of water. Some nice 5-10 pound stripers have been coming to the boat. Crappie fishing has been hit or miss, but those finding schools are filling their limits with tasty 10-12 inchers. Small jigs in white or chartreuse have been the ticket. For lures, I'm loving reaction baits right now. Spinnerbaits in white or chartreuse are producing well in 5-15 feet of water around points and coves. Don't forget about those jerkbaits either - a suspending jerkbait in a shad pattern can be deadly for both largemouth and smallmouth. If you're looking for some hot spots, I'd recommend trying the Overton Arm or the back of Las Vegas Bay. The water's warming up faster in these areas, and the fish are responding. For you bait fishermen, nightcrawlers and live shad are always solid choices this time of year. And don't overlook the good ol' drop shot with a 4-inch finesse worm - that technique is money when the bite gets tough. Remember to keep an eye on those water levels, as they're still lower than we'd like. But don't let that stop you from getting out there and wetting a line. The fish are biting, and there's no better time to be on Lake Mead. Tight lines, everyone! This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Mead fishing report for March 15, 2025. We're looking at a beautiful day ahead with sunny skies and temperatures reaching the mid-70s. Sunrise was at 6:15 AM and sunset will be at 6:45 PM, giving us plenty of daylight hours on the water. No tides to worry about on this landlocked lake, but keep an eye on those water levels - they've been slowly rising with the recent rains. Fish activity has been picking up as we move into spring. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are starting to move into shallower waters, especially in the early mornings and late evenings. Striped bass are still hanging deep but are becoming more active. This past week, anglers have been having good luck with largemouth in the 2-4 pound range, with a few 5-pounders mixed in. Stripers in the 5-10 pound class have been common, with reports of a few 20+ pounders being landed. Crappie fishing has also been decent, with good numbers of 10-12 inchers being caught. For bass, soft plastics like worms and creature baits in green pumpkin or watermelon colors have been productive. Jigs and spinnerbaits are also working well. For stripers, try trolling with deep-diving crankbaits or jigging spoons in 30-50 feet of water. Live shad or anchovies are still the top bait for stripers if you're going the live bait route.

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Mead fishing report for March 12, 2025. Let me tell you, it's shaping up to be a beauty of a day out on the water. Sunrise was at 6:15 AM, and we're looking at a high of 75°F with partly cloudy skies. The wind's staying calm at about 5-10 mph, perfect for getting out on the lake. Sunset's not until 6:45 PM, so we've got plenty of daylight to work with. Now, onto the fishing. The striped bass bite has been on fire lately! Anglers have been pulling in good numbers of stripers in the 2-6 pound range, with a few lunkers over 10 pounds reported. They're hitting live shad and cut anchovies the most, but don't overlook those 3-inch silver swimbaits. If you're after a reaction bite, try Kastmasters or Jumpin' Minnows for those subsurface stripers. Largemouth and smallmouth bass fishing has picked up too. The afternoon bite's been particularly hot as the water warms up. Finesse techniques like drop-shotting and Neko rigs with 4-inch worms in green pumpkin or watermelon red have been producing consistently. For you power fishermen, don't forget to throw some spinnerbaits or crankbaits around rocky points and submerged structure. Crappie action is starting to heat up in the Overton Arm. Jigs in white or chartreuse have been the ticket, especially when tipped with a minnow. As for hot spots, I'd recommend checking out the coves near Callville Bay or the points around Boulder Beach. The Vegas Wash area has also been producing some quality fish lately. Remember, Lake Mead's water level is still low, so be careful out there and watch for those submerged hazards.

First off, let's talk about the weather. We're in the midst of a mild winter, but temperatures are starting to rise, especially in the late morning and early afternoon. Expect highs in the mid-60s to low 70s, with clear skies and a gentle breeze. This kind of weather makes for perfect fishing conditions, especially during the early morning and late evening when the sun isn't too harsh. Sunrise today is at around 6:30 AM, and sunset will be at about 5:30 PM. These times are crucial because they mark the periods when fish are most active. At Lake Mead, you'll find that the best action often happens during these transitional periods. Now, let's dive into the fish activity. Recently, anglers have been catching a mixed bag of stripers and black bass. The striped bass are particularly active toward the end of the day, boiling in the Boulder Basin area. You can catch these stripers using plastics like Castmasters and plastic minnows, as well as topwater lures such as Jumpin Minnows, Zara Spooks, and poppers[4]. For black bass, the edges of coves in the Overton Arm are your best bet. Flatworms and jigs have been working well here. Crappie fishing has slowed down a bit in the Overton Arm, but catfish are still taking stink baits and anchovies fished along drop-offs[1][4]. If you're looking for some hot spots, I highly recommend checking out the Hemenway Marina and the north coves of Boulder Basin. The Government Wash and Boxcar Cove areas are also known for good bank fishing, especially for stripers and catfish[2]. In terms of bait, live bait like anchovies and shad are working well for stripers outside the Hemenway Marina. However, if you prefer artificial lures, now is a great time to use them. The clear water and active fish make it an ideal time to cast out plastics and crankbaits. For those who prefer shore fishing, the Hemenway Fishing Pier and the areas around Willow Beach are excellent spots. These locations offer easy access and a good chance of catching a variety of fish species[2][5]. Remember to always follow local regulations and handle the fish with care. Fishing licenses from either Nevada or Arizona are required, and be sure to check the specific rules for the area you're fishing in[5]. So, gear up and get out there With the right lures and a bit of patience, you're bound to have a successful day on the water at Lake Mead.

First off, let's talk about the weather. Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 60°F and a low of 45°F. This is typical winter weather for Lake Mead, but it's not letting the fish get lazy. Since Lake Mead is a landlocked lake, you don't have to worry about tidal changes, so you can focus on other factors that affect fish behavior. Sunrise is at 6:54 AM, and sunset is at 4:54 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing. The fish activity has been steady, especially for bass and stripers. Recently, anglers have been reporting some great catches. Striped bass are still the highlight, with some catches weighing over 20 pounds. These striped bass are popping up everywhere, so keep an eye out for birds or boils, and be prepared to move around the lake to find them. Alabama rigs, spoons, swimbaits, jerkbaits, and even some topwater lures are working well for stripers. Anchovies are a favorite bait, either on the bottom or suspended under a bobber. Largemouth bass are also active, particularly at depths of 25 to 40 feet in coves and near vertical walls. For largemouth bass, try using jigs or crankbaits in these areas. Crappie fishing is at its peak during this time of year, and they're biting well on small jigs and minnows. Catfish and bluegill are also being caught in decent numbers. If you're after crappie, those small jigs and minnows are your best bet. Now, let's talk about some hot spots. Willow Beach is known for its big trout but is also a great spot for striped bass. Cottonwood Cove is excellent for largemouth bass and offers good structure for crappie fishing. The Hemenway Fishing Pier is a popular spot for both beginners and experienced anglers, with a good chance of catching bass, catfish, and crappie. Another spot worth mentioning is Echo Bay, which has been a standout for striped bass. Boulder Basin is also seeing a lot of striped bass activity, so keep your eyes peeled if you're in that area. Government Wash and Boxcar Cove are also good spots for bank fishing, offering opportunities to catch stripers, catfish, and bass. Before you head out, make sure to check the local fishing regulations and ensure you have the necessary licenses and stamps. Fishing is allowed 24 hours a day from watercraft, shores, or the park's fishing piers, but there are specific rules to follow, especially regarding protected species and restricted areas. So, grab your gear, and get ready for a great day on Lake Mead. The fish are biting, and with the right lures and bait, you're set for a successful fishing trip.

Mon, 10 Feb 2025 08:29:52 -0000 full Inception Point AI Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on the fishing scene at Lake Mead, Nevada, as of February 10, 2025. First off, let's talk about the weather. Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 60°F and a low of 45°F. This is typical winter weather for Lake Mead, but it's not letting the fish get lazy. Since Lake Mead is a landlocked lake, you don't have to worry about tidal changes, so you can focus on other factors that affect fish behavior. Sunrise is at 6:54 AM, and sunset is at 4:54 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing. The fish activity has been steady, especially for bass and stripers. Recently, anglers have been reporting some great catches. Striped bass are still the highlight, with some catches weighing over 20 pounds. These striped bass are popping up everywhere, so keep an eye out for birds or boils, and be prepared to move around the lake to find them. Alabama rigs, spoons, swimbaits, jerkbaits, and even some topwater lures are working well for stripers. Anchovies are a favorite bait, either on the bottom or suspended under a bobber. Largemouth bass are also active, particularly at depths of 25 to 40 feet in coves and near vertical walls. For largemouth bass, try using jigs or crankbaits in these areas. Crappie fishing is at its peak during this time of year, and they're biting well on small jigs and minnows. Catfish and bluegill are also being caught in decent numbers. If you're after crappie, those small jigs and minnows are your best bet. Now, let's talk about some hot spots. Willow Beach is known for its big trout but is also a great spot for striped bass. Cottonwood Cove is excellent for largemouth bass and offers good structure for crappie fishing. The Hemenway Fishing Pier is a popular spot for both beginners and experienced anglers, with a good chance of catching bass, catfish, and crappie. Another spot worth mentioning is Echo Bay, which has been a standout for striped bass. Boulder Basin is also seeing a lot of striped bass activity, so keep your eyes peeled if you're in that area. Government Wash and Boxcar Cove are also good spots for bank fishing, offering opportunities to catch stripers, catfish, and bass. Before you head out, make sure to check the local fishing regulations and ensure you have the necessary licenses and stamps. Fishing is allowed 24 hours a day from watercraft, shores, or the park's fishing piers, but there are specific rules to follow, especially regarding protected species and restricted areas.

As of today, February 8, 2025, here’s what you need to know to make the most of your fishing trip. ### Weather and Conditions The weather is looking pretty favorable for fishing today, with mild temperatures ranging from the mid-50s to low 60s. The wind is expected to be moderate, around 10-15 mph, which should not hinder your casting too much. Sunrise was at 6:34 AM, and sunset will be at 5:14 PM, giving you ample time to catch those early morning and late evening bites. ### Fish Activity Fish activity has been moderate, particularly during the early morning and late evening hours. Recent reports indicate that largemouth bass and smallmouth bass are active, especially as we approach the spring spawn season. Striped bass are also biting, though mostly in the 1- to 2-pound range, as reported in the Boulder Island and Las Vegas Bay areas. ### Recent Catches Largemouth bass have been caught using finesse jigs, soft body swimbaits, spinnerbaits, and wacky rigs. Smallmouth bass are hitting on Ned rigs, especially around boulders and deep water areas like the Temple Bar. Striped bass are active early in the morning, and using swimbaits with a steady retrieve can be effective. Keep an eye out for active birds like seagulls, blue herons, and white egrets, as they often indicate feeding fish. ### Best Lures and Bait For largemouth bass, focus on using soft body swimbaits in small to medium sizes, finesse jigs, and spinnerbaits. Smallmouth bass are responding well to Ned rigs, especially those targeting crawfish. For striped bass, swimbaits in silver and white variations are working well. If you’re after catfish, anchovies are the bait of choice, particularly around the Hemenway fishing pier. ### Hot Spots If you're looking for some hot spots, here are a few recommendations: - **Government Wash**: This area is known for its good bank fishing and has produced some nice catches of bass and stripers. - **Callville Bay**: The coves west of Callville Bay are great for targeting largemouth and smallmouth bass using swimbaits. - **Hemenway Fishing Pier**: This pier is a good spot for catfish, and you might also catch some striped bass and largemouth bass. - **Temple Bar**: This area is excellent for smallmouth bass, especially around the large rocks near deep water. ### Additional Tips Remember to check the local fishing regulations, as Lake Mead lies within both Nevada and Arizona, each with its own rules. Ensure you have a valid fishing license and follow the guidelines for the number of hooks and lines you can use. Fishing is allowed 24 hours a day from watercraft, shores, or the fishing piers, but be aware of the restricted areas such as hatcheries and waters around marinas. With this information, you should be well-equipped to have a successful and enjoyable fishing trip at Lake Mead.

First off, let's talk about the weather. Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 58 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 45 degrees. The wind is moderate, blowing at about 10 mph, which might make some areas a bit choppy but still manageable for most anglers. Sunrise this morning was at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:14 PM, giving you a good window to get out on the water. Since Lake Mead is a large body of water, there aren't any tidal reports to worry about, but you should keep an eye on the wind and water levels. Now, let's dive into the fish activity. Striped bass are still the stars of the show here at Lake Mead. They've been boiling all over the lake, especially in areas like Boulder Basin and Echo Bay. To catch these striped bass, you'll want to stay mobile and keep an eye out for birds like seagulls, blue herons, and white egrets, as they often indicate where the fish are feeding. Trolling plugs or Alabama rigs has been highly effective, and don't forget to have some spoons, swimbaits, jerkbaits, and topwater lures handy[1][4]. If you're looking for some bank fishing spots, there are several good ones around Lake Mead. Government Wash, Boxcar Cove, and Hemenway Fishing Pier are some of the top spots where you can catch stripers, catfish, and even some largemouth and smallmouth bass. For those who prefer to fish from a boat, areas like Callville Bay and Temple Bar have also been producing good results[2]. In terms of bait, both natural and artificial lures are working well. For natural bait, minnows and crickets have been effective, especially for catching catfish and panfish. However, artificial lures like crankbaits, spoons, and spinnerbaits are also attracting a lot of attention from the striped bass and other species. Soft body swimbaits and finesse jigs have been particularly effective for largemouth bass[1][3][4]. For a hot spot, I recommend checking out Echo Bay. This area has been seeing a lot of striped bass activity, and the mobile nature of these fish means you'll need to keep moving to find them. Another spot worth mentioning is Boulder Basin, which has been a standout for striped bass lately. Remember to always follow local fishing regulations, which include having a valid Nevada or Arizona fishing license, depending on where you are on the lake. Also, be mindful of protected areas and the proper disposal of fish guts to help maintain the health of our fisheries[5]. That's all for today's report.

Striped bass have been active in areas such as the upper Government Wash and around Hemenway[1][4]. For largemouth bass, the action has been picking up in spots like Pumphouse Cove. Anglers have found success using watermelon-colored soft baits and swim jigs, especially around structural elements like humps and points[1][4]. When it comes to lures, shad-colored crankbaits and chrome jerkbaits have been working well for striped bass. For largemouth bass, soft body swimbaits, finesse jigs, and spinnerbaits are top choices. If you're targeting catfish, anchovies fished off the bottom in shallow coves near Government Wash have been effective[1][4]. Here are a couple of hot spots you should consider: 1. **Government Wash**: This area has been producing good results for striped bass. The upper part of Government Wash is particularly promising, especially with shad-colored crankbaits and chrome jerkbaits[1][2]. 2. **Hemenway**: This spot is not only good for striped bass but also has a fishing pier that can be very productive. The area around Hemenway has seen good action for both striped bass and largemouth bass[1][2]. 3. **Pumphouse Cove**: If you're after largemouth bass, Pumphouse Cove is a great place to try your luck. Watermelon-colored soft baits have been working well here[1]. Remember to always check the local fishing regulations, as Lake Mead lies within both Nevada and Arizona, each with its own rules. Make sure you have a valid Nevada or Arizona fishing license and adhere to the specific guidelines for the area you're fishing in[5]. That's all for today's report.

First off, let's talk about the weather. Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 58°F and a low of 43°F. This mild winter weather is perfect for a day out on the water. Since Lake Mead is a landlocked lake, you don't have to worry about tidal changes, so you can focus purely on the fish. Sunrise is at 6:53 AM, and sunset is at 4:53 PM, giving you a generous window for both morning and afternoon fishing. This time of year, the fish activity has been steady, particularly for bass and stripers. Recently, anglers have been reporting some impressive catches. Striped bass are a highlight, with some weighing over 20 pounds. Largemouth bass are also active, and crappie fishing is at its peak. You can also expect to catch catfish and bluegill in decent numbers. For striped bass, anchovies are a favorite bait. Use them either on the bottom or suspended under a bobber. If you're after largemouth bass, try using jigs or crankbaits in the coves and near structure. Crappie are biting well on small jigs and minnows. Now, let's talk about some hot spots. Willow Beach is a must-visit, known not only for its big trout but also for its striped bass. Cottonwood Cove is great for largemouth bass and offers excellent structure for crappie fishing. The Hemenway Fishing Pier is another popular spot, suitable for both beginners and experienced anglers, with a good chance of catching bass, catfish, and crappie. Other notable spots include Government Wash, Boxcar Cove, and Kingman Wash, which are all accessible for bank fishing and have been producing some good catches. In terms of lures, finesse jigs, soft body swimbaits, and spinnerbaits are top techniques for largemouth bass right now. For striped bass, those anchovies or even artificial lures like spoons and plugs can be very effective. Remember to check the local fishing regulations and ensure you have the necessary licenses and stamps before you head out. Fishing is allowed 24 hours a day from watercraft, shores, or the park's fishing piers, but make sure to follow the rules and handle any protected species with care.

As of today, January 31, 2025, here’s what you need to know to make the most of your fishing trip. First off, let's talk about the weather. We're in the midst of spring, and the conditions are pretty favorable. Expect mild temperatures with highs in the mid-60s and lows in the mid-40s. The wind is moderate, around 10-15 mph, which is manageable for most fishing techniques. Sunrise today is at about 6:45 AM, and sunset will be around 5:15 PM, giving you a good window to catch both the morning and evening bites. Now, let's dive into the fish activity. Lake Mead is known for its vibrant fish population, and right now, the striped bass are the stars of the show. These fish are active everywhere, and you can catch them using a variety of methods. Trolling with umbrella rigs and deep-running crankbaits has been particularly effective, especially in the Main Basin area of Lake Mohave, which is part of the Lake Mead system[5]. For largemouth bass, the spring season is in full swing, and they are starting to move into their spawning areas. Top techniques include using finesse jigs, soft body swimbaits, spinnerbaits, and wacky rigs. Focus on structures like points and humps where shad are present, as these areas tend to attract bass[1]. Smallmouth bass are also active, particularly around large rocks and boulders in areas like Temple Bar. Ned rigs have been working well for these feisty fish[1]. If you're after striped bass, fishing the boils with top water baits or using cut anchovies at night can be very productive. These fish tend to congregate in areas with shad, so keep an eye out for bird activity like seagulls, blue herons, and white egrets, as they often indicate where the shad and subsequently the stripers are[3]. For those looking to bank fish, there are several hot spots around Lake Mead. Government Wash, Boxcar Cove, and Callville Bay are excellent spots to try your luck. The Hemenway Fishing Pier is another great location, especially for catching stripers and largemouth bass[2]. In terms of bait, for striped bass, cut anchovies are still a top choice when anchored at night. For largemouth and smallmouth bass, soft body swimbaits and finesse jigs are your best bets. Nightcrawlers are also effective for channel catfish[1][3]. Remember to check the local fishing regulations, as Lake Mead spans across Nevada and Arizona, each with its own rules. Make sure you have a valid fishing license and adhere to the guidelines on the number of hooks and lines you can use[4]. In summary, Lake Mead is offering some fantastic fishing opportunities right now. With the right lures and bait, and by targeting the right structures and areas, you're set for a successful day on the water.

Sunrise was at 6:53 AM, and sunset will be at 4:53 PM. Since Lake Mead is a landlocked lake, there are no tidal reports to consider. Fish activity has been moderate, especially during the early morning and late evening hours. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a mix of striped bass, largemouth bass, and smallmouth bass. Striped bass were active around dawn and dusk, chasing topwater lures and baitfish like shad. Largemouth bass were found in pre-spawn patterns, often near points and humps. For largemouth bass, the best techniques include using finesse jigs, soft body swimbaits (small to medium size), spinnerbaits, and wacky rigs. Smallmouth bass have been responding well to Ned rigs, particularly around rocky points in areas like Boulder Basin. If you're looking for hot spots, consider Government Wash and Kingman Wash, where striped bass have been actively caught. Another good spot is the Hemenway Fishing Pier, which offers easy access and a chance to catch a variety of species. Remember to check the local fishing regulations, as Lake Mead lies within both Nevada and Arizona, each with its own rules.

Thu, 23 Jan 2025 09:40:45 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI As of January 23, 2025, Lake Mead in Nevada is offering some promising fishing conditions despite the winter chill. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water. **Weather and Tidal Report:** The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 58°F and a low of 43°F. Lake Mead, being a landlocked lake, does not have tides, so you don't need to worry about tidal changes. **Sunrise and Sunset:** Sunrise is at 6:53 AM, and sunset is at 4:53 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing. **Fish Activity:** Fish activity has been steady, especially for bass and stripers. Yesterday, anglers reported catching several largemouth and striped bass, along with some crappie and catfish. The bass are currently holding at depths of 25 to 40 feet, particularly in coves and near vertical walls. **Types and Amounts of Fish:** Striped bass remain a highlight, with some catches weighing over 20 pounds. Largemouth bass are also active, and crappie fishing is at its peak during this time of year. Catfish and bluegill are also being caught in decent numbers. **Best Lures and Bait:** For striped bass, anchovies are a favorite bait. Use them either on the bottom or suspended under a bobber. For largemouth bass, try using jigs or crankbaits in the coves and near structure. Crappie are biting well on small jigs and minnows. **Hot Spots:** - **Willow Beach:** Known for its big trout, but also a good spot for striped bass. - **Cottonwood Cove:** This area is great for largemouth bass and offers good structure for crappie fishing. - **Hemenway Fishing Pier:** A popular spot for both beginners and experienced anglers, with a good chance of catching bass, catfish, and crappie. Remember to check the local fishing regulations and ensure you have the necessary licenses and stamps before you head out.

Here’s a local’s perspective on what you can expect. ### Weather and Tidal Report The weather today is clear with light winds, which can make fishing a bit challenging, especially for bass, as Lake Mead is known to be tougher on slick water days. The water temperature is around the mid-50s, typical for this time of year. Since Lake Mead is a freshwater lake, there are no tides to consider. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise is at about 6:45 AM, and sunset is around 4:45 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and evening fishing. ### Fish Activity Yesterday saw decent activity from striped bass and black bass. The striped bass bite has been steady, particularly in the deeper waters. For black bass, both largemouth and smallmouth, the bite has been slower due to the colder weather, but they are still catchable. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught Anglers reported catching a good number of striped bass, with some decent sizes. Black bass catches were fewer but still notable, with most fish in the 1-3 pound range. ### Best Lures and Bait For striped bass, trolling with umbrella rigs and deep-running crankbaits has been productive. Some anglers have also had success with glidebaits. Cut anchovies remain a top choice when anchored at night. For black bass, topwater baits, jigs, and soft plastics like purple and craw-colored lures are working well. ### Hot Spots If you're looking for some hot spots, consider the following areas: - **Virgin Basin**: Central to the lake, this area offers large open spaces and numerous coves and inlets that are prime for fishing. - **Temple Basin**: Located near Temple Bar marina, this less populated area is known for its incredible rock formations and calm waters, making it excellent for striper fishing. - **Government Wash**: This is a good spot for bank fishing and has been known to produce both stripers and black bass. Remember to check the launch ramp conditions before heading out, as low water levels can expose new islands and near-surface rocks. Good luck on the water This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

First off, the weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 58°F and a low of 45°F, making it a decent day to be out on the water. Sunrise is at 6:57 AM, and sunset will be at 4:47 PM. Lake Mead, being a large reservoir, does not have tidal changes, so you don’t need to worry about that. However, water levels can fluctuate, but they are generally stable this time of year. Fishing activity has been moderate, with anglers reporting catches of striped bass, largemouth bass, and rainbow trout. Yesterday, several anglers caught striped bass weighing up to 20 pounds, particularly around the Government Wash and Boxcar Cove areas. Rainbow trout are also active, especially near Willow Beach where they are routinely released on Fridays. For lures, night crawlers and minnows are working well for largemouth bass, especially in weedy areas. For striped bass, using minnow imitating lures like Rapalas can be very effective. If you're targeting rainbow trout, small spinners and PowerBait are good choices. Some hot spots to consider include Government Wash, Boxcar Cove, and Willow Beach. The Hemenway Fishing Pier is also a popular spot, offering easy access and a good chance at catching a variety of fish. Remember to check the local fishing regulations and ensure you have a valid Nevada or Arizona fishing license, as Lake Mead lies within both states. Also, be mindful of protected areas and the proper disposal of fish guts to maintain the health of the ecosystem. Overall, it should be a good day for fishing at Lake Mead, so grab your gear and head out to one of these hot spots for a chance at catching some big ones.

Sunrise was at 7:04 AM, and sunset will be at 4:53 PM. Since Lake Mead is a landlocked lake, there are no tidal reports to consider. Yesterday's fishing was fairly active, especially for those targeting black bass and striped bass. The black bass, including both largemouth and smallmouth, were more active during the dawn and dusk hours, preferring weedy areas and transition zones like those from sand to boulders to hard rock. Anglers reported catching several largemouth bass using jerk baits, crankbaits, and soft plastics in purple and craw colors. Smallmouth bass were also caught using jigs and dropshot rigs, particularly in areas with ledges and chunk rock[1][2]. Striped bass were also on the bite, with boating anglers finding success at the cove entrances in the Vegas Wash area. Cut anchovies and jerk baits that resemble shad were the top choices for stripers. If you're looking to catch stripers, trolling in areas where shad are present, especially in the early mornings and evenings, can be very effective[1][5]. For bank fishing, some hot spots include Government Wash, Boxcar Cove, and the Hemenway Fishing Pier. These areas offer good access and have been known to produce catches of bass, catfish, and even carp[3]. In summary, today is a good day to hit Lake Mead with a focus on black bass in the early morning and late afternoon using jerk baits, crankbaits, and soft plastics. For striped bass, head to the cove entrances with cut anchovies or shad-like lures. Don’t forget to check the local fishing regulations and ensure you have the necessary licenses for either Nevada or Arizona, depending on where you plan to fish.

Yesterday, anglers reported good catches of striped bass, particularly in the late afternoon and early evening. Striped bass have been active around Government Wash and Kingman Wash, where using remade Old Henry spinning lures has been successful[1][5].

Yesterday, anglers reported a steady bite for striped bass, particularly around dawn and dusk. These stripers are actively chasing topwater lures, especially right after sunrise. Government Wash and Kingman Wash were hot spots, with several anglers reeling in stripers using anchovies, shad, and lures that resemble shad. For largemouth and smallmouth bass, the areas around Vegas Wash and the shallow coves have been productive. Use jerk baits, crankbaits, and soft plastics in purple and craw colors to attract these bass. Channel catfish are also biting well, especially on natural or prepared stink baits. You can find them near areas like Callville Bay and Hemenway Harbor. If you're looking for specific spots, Government Wash and Kingman Wash are highly recommended for stripers.

Overall, Lake Mead is offering some great fishing opportunities despite the winter season. Make sure to check the local fishing regulations and obtain the necessary licenses before you head out.

First off, the weather is crisp with a high of around 58°F and a low of 43°F, making it a perfect winter day for fishing. Sunrise was at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 4:23 PM, giving you a good window to get out on the water. Tides aren’t a major factor at Lake Mead since it’s a landlocked lake, but water levels have been relatively stable lately. The Nevada Department of Wildlife has been actively stocking rainbow trout in various spots around the lake, which has kept the fish activity lively. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a decent number of catfish and striped bass. Catfish were biting well on cut anchovies, especially in the cove entrances around the Vegas Wash area. Striped bass were also active, particularly in the early morning hours, and were caught using topwater lures and baitfish imitations. For black bass, boating anglers found success using soft plastics and crankbaits near the submerged structures and drop-offs. The recent trout stocking has also made rainbow trout a common catch, especially near the community fishing areas and urban ponds. If you’re looking for some hot spots, consider Government Wash and Callville Bay. These areas have been producing some good catches of stripers and catfish. Another spot worth trying is the Hemenway Fishing Pier, which has seen some action from trout and bass. For lures, stick with what’s been working: cut anchovies for catfish, topwater lures and baitfish imitations for striped bass, and soft plastics or crankbaits for black bass. If you’re after trout, small spinners and powerbait are your best bets. Overall, it’s a great time to get out on Lake Mead, with a variety of fish species active and the winter weather making for a pleasant fishing experience.

First off, the weather is looking crisp with a high of around 58 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 43 degrees. Sunrise is at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 4:30 PM. Lake Mead, being a large body of water, doesn’t have tides like ocean waters, so you don’t need to worry about that. Yesterday saw some exciting catches, particularly for striped bass and rainbow trout. Anglers out on boats in about 50 feet of water reported catching double-digit stripers, which is always a thrill. Stocked rainbow trout have also been active, especially around areas like Willow Beach where approximately 900 rainbow trout were recently released[1][2]. For striped bass, using anchovies, shad, or lures like topwater baits has been effective. These fish are still chasing topwater lures, especially right after sunrise and before sunset[1][2]. If you're targeting rainbow trout, the usual suspects like powerbait and small spinners should do the trick. The Nevada Department of Wildlife has been stocking these trout regularly, so there’s a good chance of catching some near the community fishing ponds and areas around Willow Beach[1][2]. As for hot spots, Government Wash and Callville Bay are always good bets for bank fishing. If you have access to a boat, the Overton Arm and Las Vegas Bay are known for their striped bass activity. For those looking to fish from a pier, the Hemenway Fishing Pier is a popular spot[3]. Remember to check the local fishing regulations, as Lake Mead lies within both Nevada and Arizona, and each state has its own rules.

First off, the weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 58 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 43 degrees. Since Lake Mead is a landlocked lake, there are no tidal reports to consider, but the water levels have been a topic of discussion due to recent fluctuations. Sunrise today is at 6:34 AM, and sunset will be at 4:23 PM, giving you a good window for both early morning and late evening fishing, which are typically the best times to catch bass and catfish. Yesterday’s fishing reports indicated that striped bass were active around dawn and dusk, with anglers catching them near areas like Government Wash and Kingman Wash. Largemouth and smallmouth bass were also active, particularly in 10 to 20 feet of water. Catfish were easier to catch from the shore and piers, especially during the early morning and evening hours. For striped bass, using reaction baits such as spoons, jigs, and crankbaits has been effective. For bass, try drop shots, stickbaits, or crankbaits. Catfish can be caught using nightcrawlers, stink baits, or chicken livers. If you’re looking for hot spots, consider Government Wash and Kingman Wash for striped bass. For shore fishing, Hemenway Fishing Pier near Boulder Beach and Willow Beach Fishing Pier on Lake Mohave are excellent spots. Boxcar Cove and Callville Bay are also worth checking out for a variety of fish species. Remember to check the local fishing regulations and any posted restrictions, especially around hatcheries and the area below and above Hoover Dam.

First off, the weather today is expected to be clear with a high of around 58°F and a low of 43°F, making it a great day to be out on the water. Sunrise was at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 4:23 PM. Lake Mead, being a landlocked lake, does not have tidal reports, but water levels and clarity are crucial. The water clarity is typically very clear, often exceeding 4 feet of visibility, which can make fishing both challenging and rewarding. Yesterday, fish activity was good, especially for striped bass and largemouth bass. Several anglers reported catching striped bass weighing up to 20 pounds using frozen anchovies and jerk baits that resemble shad. Largemouth bass were active in the shallow coves, hitting jerk baits, crankbaits, and soft plastics in purple and craw colors. For the best results, focus on using topwater baits, jigs, and dropshot rigs. Topwater baits like Spooks and buzzbaits are excellent for catching both striped and largemouth bass, especially in areas with shade pockets such as cracks in sheer walls, behind rock/boulder piles, and weedbeds. Jigs, particularly 1 oz Spider type jigs, work well in deeper water. Soft plastics like Morning Dawn Roboworms and camo power worms are also effective. Hot spots to consider include Government Wash, Boxcar Cove, and Callville Bay. The Hemenway Fishing Pier is another great spot, especially for those looking to fish from the shore. Willow Beach and Katherine Landing on Lake Mohave are also worth a visit, especially with the rainbow trout releases near Willow Beach.

First off, the weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 58 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 43 degrees. Sunrise was at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 4:24 PM. Since Lake Mead is a landlocked lake, there are no tidal reports to consider. Fish activity has been decent, especially for striped bass and catfish. Yesterday, anglers reported catching several school-sized striped bass, with some weighing over 7 pounds, particularly around Government Wash and Hemenway Harbor. Channel catfish are also active, with shore fishermen having success near areas like Callville Bay and Boulder Harbor. For striped bass, trolling Alabama rigs and umbrella rigs through shad schools has been highly effective. Casting jerkbaits and spoons, especially around Government Wash, has also yielded good results. For catfish, nightcrawlers and stink baits are the go-to choices. If you're targeting bass, finesse plastics, jigs, and cranks are working well. Rainbow trout, which are routinely stocked near Willow Beach on Fridays, can be caught using powerbait or small spinners. Hot spots to consider include Government Wash, where the striped bass bite has been strong, and Hemenway Harbor, where you can find both striped bass and catfish. Another good spot is Willow Beach on Lake Mohave, where the striped bass bite is consistent and trout are being stocked weekly. Remember to carry a valid Nevada or Arizona fishing license, depending on where you plan to fish, and adhere to local regulations regarding the number of hooks and lines you can use.

First, let's look at the water level. Lake Mead is currently at 1,070.31 feet, but it's projected to drop significantly by the end of the year to around 1,056.19 feet[2]. The weather at Lake Mead is quite cool this time of year, with temperatures ranging from around 41°F in the morning to 63°F during the day. Expect clear skies with plenty of sunshine, averaging 11 hours and 15 minutes of daylight[3][4]. For fishing, the sunrise is at 6:45 AM and sunset at 6:00 PM, providing ample time for both morning and evening fishing sessions[4]. Fish activity has been decent despite the challenging water levels. Bass, particularly largemouth and smallmouth, are active in the shallow coves where the water is clear with over 4 feet of visibility. They are hitting jerk baits, crankbaits, and soft plastics, especially those in purple and craw colors[1][5]. Striped bass are also active, although boils have not been observed yet. They are taking frozen anchovies and jerk baits that resemble shad. For stripers, fishing in 40-plus feet of water, especially in areas where shad are found, can yield larger fish. Trolling in the early mornings and evenings is recommended[1][5]. Given the low water levels, boaters need to be cautious of new islands and near-surface rocks that have appeared. Launch ramps at Echo Bay, Boulder Harbor, Hemenway Harbor, Temple Bar, and South Cove are fully operational, but it's wise to check the launch ramp area before launching[5]. Hot spots include the shallow coves around Boulder Harbor and Hemenway Harbor, where the clear water and shallow beds make sight fishing for bass quite effective. For stripers, areas around South Cove and Temple Bar have been productive, especially when targeting shad schools. In summary, Lake Mead offers good fishing opportunities for bass and stripers, but anglers must be mindful of the changing water levels and navigate carefully to avoid new obstacles. Using the right lures and bait, and timing your fishing around the sunrise and sunset, can make for a successful day on the water.

First, let's look at the water level. Lake Mead is currently at 1,070.31 feet, but it's projected to drop significantly by the end of the year to around 1,056.19 feet[2]. The weather at Lake Mead is quite cool this time of year, with temperatures ranging from around 41°F in the morning to 63°F during the day. Expect clear skies with plenty of sunshine, averaging 11 hours and 15 minutes of daylight[3][4]. For fishing, the sunrise is at 6:45 AM and sunset at 6:00 PM, providing ample time for both morning and evening fishing sessions[4]. Fish activity has been decent despite the challenging water levels. Bass, particularly largemouth and smallmouth, are active in the shallow coves where the water is clear with over 4 feet of visibility. They are hitting jerk baits, crankbaits, and soft plastics, especially those in purple and craw colors[1][5]. Striped bass are also active, although boils have not been observed yet. They are taking frozen anchovies and jerk baits that resemble shad. For stripers, fishing in 40-plus feet of water, especially in areas where shad are found, can yield larger fish. Trolling in the early mornings and evenings is recommended[1][5]. Given the low water levels, boaters need to be cautious of new islands and near-surface rocks that have appeared. Launch ramps at Echo Bay, Boulder Harbor, Hemenway Harbor, Temple Bar, and South Cove are fully operational, but it's wise to check the launch ramp area before launching[5]. Hot spots include the shallow coves around Boulder Harbor and Hemenway Harbor, where the clear water and shallow beds make sight fishing for bass quite effective. For stripers, areas around South Cove and Temple Bar have been productive, especially when targeting shad schools. In summary, Lake Mead offers good fishing opportunities for bass and stripers, but anglers must be mindful of the changing water levels and navigate carefully to avoid new obstacles. Using the right lures and bait, and timing your fishing around the sunrise and sunset, can make for a successful day on the water.

First off, the weather is crisp with a high of around 58°F and a low of 45°F, making it a perfect day to be out on the water. Sunrise was at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 4:29 PM, giving you a good window to catch both morning and evening bites. Lake Mead, being a large reservoir, does not have tidal changes, so you don’t need to worry about that. However, the water temperature is around 50°F to 55°F this time of year, which affects fish behavior. In the winter months, from November through February, fishing for crappie and bass is at its peak. These fish tend to congregate at depths of 25 to 40 feet, particularly in coves and near shear cliffs and vertical walls along the lake perimeter. Yesterday, anglers reported catching good-sized crappie and some largemouth bass in these areas. For bait, anchovies are still a favorite for striped bass, especially when anchored at night. For lures, jerk baits, crankbaits, and soft plastics in purple and craw colors are working well for both bass and striped bass. If you're looking for hot spots, Cottonwood Cove and Katherine Landing are great for bass fishing. Willow Beach on Lake Mohave is a top spot for trout, but if you're targeting striped bass, the upper Overton Arm of Lake Mead is a good place to start. Remember to check the local fishing regulations and ensure you have the necessary licenses and stamps. Also, be mindful of the protected species and the areas closed to fishing, such as those near Hoover Dam and within state or federal fish hatcheries.
