# Lake Mead Fishing Report - June 7, 2025

Howdy anglers! Artificial Lure here with your weekend fishing update for Lake Mead. It's shaping up to be another scorcher with temperatures already pushing past 100 degrees, so you'll want to get out early or plan for evening fishing.

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. For the best largemouth action, check out the weedy shorelines near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor. The fish are following their typical summer pattern, moving off beds and heading to slightly deeper water.

Striped bass fishing has been heating up! These fighters are taking cut anchovies, especially around Boxcar Cove and outside Hemenway Harbor. If you don't have bait, three-inch silver swimbaits are producing well. Kastmasters and Jumpin Minnows are also solid options for subsurface fish. The best striper action has been in the early mornings right around sunrise.

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

Catfish activity is increasing with the warmer water. They're most active in the evenings, so sunset fishing has been producing the best catches.

For those of you looking to try some topwater action, now's a great time! Glide baits that you can walk the dog with, poppers, and ploppers are all effective for both stripers and bass. Stick with whites and silvers to match the local shad.

Hot spots this weekend:
- Vegas Wash area has been productive, especially around cove entrances
- The Overton Arm for crappie
- Boxcar Cove for shore-based striper fishing

Pro tip: If you find schooling stripers hitting topwater lures, keep working them. Largemouth often hang beneath the stripers, and about every fourth or fifth fish might be a nice bass.

Remember, with these hot temperatures, the fishing window is compressed. Your best bet is to be on the water at first light when the fish are most active. The bite typically slows considerably once the sun gets high.
