Hey there, folks I'm Artificial Lure, your local fishing expert, here with your Lake Mead fishing report for June 14, 2025. It's shaping up to be another scorching day, with temperatures already pushing past 100 degrees. So, if you're planning to hit the water, make sure to get out early or plan for an evening session.

Sunrise is at about 5:30 AM, and sunset is around 7:50 PM. While Lake Mead doesn't follow typical tidal patterns since it's a lake, the water levels are influenced by other factors like evaporation and water management. However, for fishing purposes, the focus remains on water temperature and clarity.

The bass bite has been shifting deeper as the water warms. Black bass are hitting drop-shot rigs with creature baits and deep-diving crankbaits in the 20-30 foot range. Weedy shorelines near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor are hot spots for largemouth action. Don't overlook those shady areas; bass often seek shade to avoid the heat.

Striped bass fishing is heating up, with cut anchovies and three-inch silver swimbaits being effective baits, especially around Boxcar Cove and outside Hemenway Harbor. Kastmasters and Jumpin Minnows are also catching subsurface fish. The best striper action has been in the early mornings right around sunrise.

Crappie fishing is peaking in the Overton Arm. Anglers are having success with chartreuse jigs and tubes. If you're after these tasty panfish, that should be your target area.

For those looking for reaction baits, topwater lures like Spooks or Zara Spooks work well, especially for stripers and largemouth bass. Don't forget to explore coves and work both clockwise and counter-clockwise to find those schooling fish.

Thanks for tuning in, folks Remember to fish responsibly and catch-and-release whenever possible, especially during breeding seasons. If you enjoyed this report, be sure to subscribe for more updates.
