Lake Mead Fishing Report March 2025: Stripers, Bass, Crappie Bite Strong as Water Levels Rise
Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Mead fishing report for March 29, 2025.
We've got another beautiful day ahead of us with sunny skies and temperatures reaching a high of 80°F. Sunrise was at 6:10 AM, and we're looking at sunset around 6:50 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to work with. No tides to worry about on this landlocked lake, but keep an eye on those water levels - they've been slowly rising with the recent rains.
The fishing action has been heating up as we move into spring. Striped bass have been the stars of the show lately, with anglers pulling in good numbers in the 2-6 pound range, and a few lunkers over 10 pounds reported. They're hitting live shad and cut anchovies the most, but don't overlook those 3-inch silver swimbaits. If you're after a reaction bite, try Kastmasters or Jumpin' Minnows for those subsurface stripers.
Largemouth and smallmouth bass fishing has picked up too. The afternoon bite's been particularly hot as the water warms up. Finesse techniques like drop-shotting and Neko rigs with 4-inch worms in green pumpkin or watermelon red have been producing consistently. For you power fishermen, don't forget to throw some spinnerbaits or crankbaits around rocky points and submerged structure.
Crappie action is starting to heat up in the Overton Arm. Jigs in white or chartreuse have been the ticket, especially when tipped with a minnow. We've been seeing some nice catches in the 10-12 inch range.
As for hot spots, I'd recommend checking out the coves near Callville Bay or the points around Boulder Beach. The Vegas Wash area has also been producing some quality fish lately. For you striper hunters, try the deep water near Boulder Basin or Callville Bay.
Remember, Lake Mead's water level is still low, so be careful out there and watch for those submerged hazards. Tight lines, everyone, and I'll catch you next time!
