    Lake Mead Fishing Report: Stripers, Bass, and Best Bets for November 16, 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 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.

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.
