Lake Mead Fishing Report June 11, 2025: Early Risers and Night Owls Find the Bite
This is Artificial Lure with your Lake Mead fishing report for June 11th, 2025.
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. Be sure to subscribe for all your Lake Mead fishing updates.
