Lake Mead Fishing Report June 4, 2025: Bass Mayhem, Stripers Rocking, and Crappie Madness
Hey there anglers, Artificial Lure here with your Lake Mead fishing report for June 4, 2025.
We're looking at another scorcher today with temperatures already pushing past 100 degrees by midmorning. Sunrise was at 5:23 AM, and we'll have sunset tonight at 8:01 PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours to get those lines wet.
Water conditions at Lake Mead are a bit unusual right now. The bass are in what I'm calling a "total mess" phase - some are up on beds, some protecting fry, and others aren't thinking about spawning at all. This mixed-up pattern is likely due to our fluctuating water temps and weather we've been having over the past month.
For those targeting bass, you've got options. If you're hunting bedding fish, head to the traditional spawning grounds along sandy coves. For the fry guarders, work reaction baits in shallow water. If you're after those post-spawn females, try finesse techniques in the 25-35 foot range with bigger worms, jigs, and finesse baits worked nice and slow.
Stripers have been the most consistent bite lately. They're hitting live shad and cut anchovies best, but 3-inch silver swimbaits make a solid backup option. Don't forget about Kastmasters and Jumpin' Minnows for those subsurface fish.
Some decent crappie action has been reported in the Overton Arm using jigs. If you're topwater fishing, glide baits, walk-the-dog style lures, poppers, and ploppers are all working well - especially for stripers and both largemouth and smallmouth bass. Stick with whites and silvers to match the local shad.
Hot spots this week include the main lake points at Boulder Basin, the centers of coves in 25-30 feet, and the entire Overton Arm for crappie. Boulder Beach has been producing some nice stripers in the early morning hours.
My top recommendation for today: if you want a consistent bite, go with finesse tactics out deep on those main lake points. But if you're feeling adventurous, try a bit of everything - the fish are scattered throughout all water columns and locations.
Remember to bring plenty of water and sunscreen because that June sun is fierce out there on the water. The boat ramps at Hemenway Harbor and Echo Bay are in good shape with the current water levels.
