8 NOV 2024 · As of November 8, 2024, Lake Mead is offering some exciting fishing opportunities despite its current water level, which is 167.91 feet below full pool.
### Weather and Tidal Conditions
The weather is expected to be clear with cooler temperatures, making it an ideal day for fishing. There are no significant tidal changes to worry about on Lake Mead, as it is a landlocked lake. Sunrise is at around 6:30 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 4:30 PM, providing ample time for both morning and evening fishing sessions.
### Fish Activity
Striped bass are active around dawn and dusk, offering lively action during these cooler hours. Black bass fishing remains slow, but persistent anglers have found success around Las Vegas Bay using topwater poppers and Chatterbaits. Channel catfish and carp are also active, particularly in the late afternoon, with Hemenway being a promising spot for these species.
### Recent Catches
Recently, there have been good catches of striped bass, with anglers reporting success using hard plastics in shad patterns and live shad or store-bought anchovies. The bass action has been notable, especially after a period of light fishing pressure due to low water levels, allowing the fish to grow and become more aggressive.
### Best Lures and Bait
For striped bass, use hard plastics in shad patterns, live shad, or anchovies. Topwater lures on "boils" where stripers feed voraciously on shad at the surface are also effective. For black bass, topwater poppers and Chatterbaits have been successful. For channel catfish and carp, beef or chicken liver, shrimp, or prepared baits work well.
### Hot Spots
- **Las Vegas Bay**: A good spot for black bass using topwater poppers and Chatterbaits.
- **Hemenway**: Promising for channel catfish and carp, especially in the late afternoon with anchovies and corn.
- **Overton Arm and Boulder Basin**: Good for tilapia, using corn, peas, or hot dogs.
Overall, Lake Mead is providing a rewarding fishing experience with the right lures and bait, especially during the cooler hours of the day. Be sure to check the weather forecast and water conditions before heading out, as the lake can get very windy and rough.
