あらすじ・解説
For December 19, 2024, at Lake Mead, Nevada, here’s what you can expect:
First off, the weather is expected to be clear with a high of around 58 degrees and a low of 43 degrees, making it a crisp but pleasant day for fishing. Sunrise is at 6:41 AM, and sunset will be at 4:24 PM.
Since Lake Mead is a freshwater lake, there are no tidal reports to consider. However, water levels and clarity can affect fishing conditions. Currently, the water levels are relatively stable, and clarity is good.
Fish activity has been moderate, with anglers reporting catches of striped bass, largemouth bass, and catfish. Yesterday, several groups caught a significant number of striped bass, particularly in the Overton Arm and the Vegas Bay arm. One group reported catching around 20 stripers, with the largest weighing about 3 pounds.
For striped bass, trolling with live shad or shad imitations has been highly effective. Top-water lures are also working well, especially in the early morning and late afternoon. For largemouth and smallmouth bass, try using bait near structure and cover, such as Echo Bay. Catfish are active near the points and coves, and nightcrawlers or stink baits are good choices.
Hot spots include the Hemenway Fishing Point, where you can access the shore and the pier, and Boxcar Cove, which has been productive for both striped bass and catfish. Another good spot is Government Wash, where you can find a mix of bass and catfish.
Remember to check the local fishing regulations, as you will need a valid Nevada or Arizona fishing license to fish at Lake Mead. Enjoy your day on the water
