16 NOV 2024 · For those planning to hit Lake Mead today, November 16, 2024, here’s what you need to know:
### Weather and Tidal Conditions
The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 68 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 48 degrees. Sunrise is at 6:27 AM, and sunset will be at 4:33 PM. Lake Mead, being a landlocked lake, does not have tidal changes, so you can focus on other factors.
### Fish Activity
Fish activity has been robust, especially for striped bass and both largemouth and smallmouth bass. The cooler water temperatures, now dipping into the low to mid 50s, have pushed fish into their winter patterns. This means they are likely to be found in deeper areas and near structure.
### Catch Reports

### Best Lures and Bait
For striped bass, use threadfin shad, silver lures, or anchovies. Black bass are responding well to cut anchovies and soft plastics. Given the cooler water, using slower-moving lures like jigs or crankbaits can be effective.
### Hot Spots
Government Wash has been a hot spot for striped bass, while the cove entrances in the Vegas Wash area are producing good numbers of black bass. Boating anglers have also found success near these areas[2][5].
Overall, it's a great time to be out on Lake Mead, with plenty of fish to be caught. Just remember to dress in layers as the temperature drops significantly in the evenings. Good luck on the water

First off, the weather is looking pleasant with clear skies and mild temperatures, making it an ideal day to be out on the water. Sunrise was at around 6:30 AM, and sunset is expected at about 4:30 PM, so you've got a good window to catch those early morning and late afternoon bites.
The water level at Lake Mead is currently at 1,061.20 feet, which is 167.80 feet below the full pool, but this shouldn't significantly impact fishing conditions.
Fish activity has been decent, especially around dawn and dusk. Striped bass are active during these times, and anglers have been catching them near areas like Government Wash and Kingman Wash. Yesterday, several anglers reported catching stripers in the 10- to 12-inch range using anchovies, which work well if kept frozen as long as possible. Black bass are also being found in 10 to 20 feet of water, with plastics in watermelon and green speckled colors proving effective.
For those targeting other species, channel catfish are taking baits just off the shoreline, and rainbow trout, though less common, can be caught using PowerBait, worms, and small lures like Mepp’s, Panther Martins, and Rooster Tails.
Hot spots to consider include Crawdad Cove, where trout have been caught after recent plantings, and the areas around the shoreline where catfish are hiding near brush below the shelves.
Overall, it's a good day to be on Lake Mead, with the right lures and baits you can expect to catch a mixed bag of fish. Just remember to check for any updates on toxic algae alerts before you head out.
