  • Summary

  • 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
    Yesterday saw good action for anglers targeting striped bass, which were taking threadfin shad, silver lures, and anchovies. Black bass were also active, particularly around the cove entrances in the Vegas Wash area, where cut anchovies proved effective[2][5].

    ### 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
