  • Summary

  • Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, and I'm excited to share with you the latest fishing report for Lake Mead, Nevada, as of February 2, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the weather. Today, we're looking at partly cloudy skies with a high of around 58 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 45 degrees. The wind is moderate, blowing at about 10 mph, which should make for a comfortable day on the water.

    Sunrise was at 6:47 AM, and sunset will be at 5:14 PM, giving us a good window for both morning and evening fishing sessions.

    Now, let's dive into the fish activity. Recently, Lake Mead has been seeing a good bite for striped bass, particularly in the early morning hours. Keep an eye out for active birds like seagulls, blue herons, and white egrets, as they often indicate where the fish are schooling. Striped bass have been active in areas such as the upper Government Wash and around Hemenway[1][4].

    For largemouth bass, the action has been picking up in spots like Pumphouse Cove. Anglers have found success using watermelon-colored soft baits and swim jigs, especially around structural elements like humps and points[1][4].

    When it comes to lures, shad-colored crankbaits and chrome jerkbaits have been working well for striped bass. For largemouth bass, soft body swimbaits, finesse jigs, and spinnerbaits are top choices. If you're targeting catfish, anchovies fished off the bottom in shallow coves near Government Wash have been effective[1][4].

    Here are a couple of hot spots you should consider:

    1. **Government Wash**: This area has been producing good results for striped bass. The upper part of Government Wash is particularly promising, especially with shad-colored crankbaits and chrome jerkbaits[1][2].

    2. **Hemenway**: This spot is not only good for striped bass but also has a fishing pier that can be very productive. The area around Hemenway has seen good action for both striped bass and largemouth bass[1][2].

    3. **Pumphouse Cove**: If you're after largemouth bass, Pumphouse Cove is a great place to try your luck. Watermelon-colored soft baits have been working well here[1].

    Remember to always check the local fishing regulations, as Lake Mead lies within both Nevada and Arizona, each with its own rules. Make sure you have a valid Nevada or Arizona fishing license and adhere to the specific guidelines for the area you're fishing in[5].

    That's all for today's report. Tight lines, and I hope you catch some big ones out there
