Lake Mead Fishing Report: Chasing Bass, Crappie, and Stripers in the Desert Heat

Hey there, folks Artificial Lure here with your Lake Mead fishing report for June 14th, 2025. It's shaping up to be another scorching day in the desert, with temperatures already approaching the triple digits. If you're planning to hit the water, I recommend getting out early or waiting for the evening. Sunrise today was at 5:26 AM, and sunset will be around 7:45 PM. The bass bite has been shifting deeper as the water warms up. 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. These areas are seeing a lot of activity as the fish move off their beds and into slightly deeper water. Striped bass fishing has been heating up, with cut anchovies and three-inch silver swimbaits producing well around Boxcar Cove and outside Hemenway Harbor. If you're after these fighters, the best action is in the early mornings right around sunrise. Kastmasters and Jumpin Minnows are also solid options for subsurface fish. Crappie fishing is peaking in the Overton Arm, with anglers having success with chartreuse jigs and tubes. This area is a hot spot for those looking to land some tasty panfish. When it comes to lures, topwater and jerkbaits are great for getting bigger bites, while plastics can help fill your limit. Don't forget to work those coves and any dark patches you see, as shade is key to survival for these fish. For today, my top picks for fishing spots are Calville Bay and the Overton Arm. Calville offers those weedy shorelines perfect for largemouth, and the Overton Arm is where you'll find crappie action.
