As of November 10, 2024, here’s the latest fishing report for Lake Mead, Nevada.

### Weather and Tidal Conditions
Today, you can expect clear skies with a high of around 68°F and a low of 48°F. Sunrise is at 6:27 AM, and sunset will be at 4:43 PM. The water temperature is currently in the mid-60s, which is ideal for various fish species. Tidal movements are minimal in Lake Mead, but the best times to fish are usually around dawn and dusk.

### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw a decent amount of activity, particularly for striped bass. Anglers fishing in the Overton Arm reported good top-water action, catching over 50 stripers, with some keeping around 20. The largest striped bass caught weighed in at about 3.5 pounds. Largemouth and smallmouth bass were also active, especially near Echo Bay.

### Types and Amounts of Fish
Striped bass are the main catch right now, with many being caught in the early morning and late evening. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are also plentiful, though the bite has been a bit slower due to the cooler weather. Some anglers reported catching over 30 smallmouth and largemouth bass, with none exceeding 2.5 pounds.

### Best Lures and Bait
For striped bass, top-water lures and live shad or shad imitations are working well. Cut anchovies are still a favorite when anchored at night. For bass, jerk baits, crankbaits, and soft plastics in purple and craw colors are highly effective. Topwater, jigs, and dropshot rigs are also producing good results.

### Hot Spots
The Overton Arm and the area near Stewart's Point have been hot spots for striped bass. For bass, the Vegas Wash area and the lower basin near Boulder Beach are worth checking out. The Echo Bay area is also a good spot for both largemouth and smallmouth bass.

Overall, Lake Mead is offering some great fishing opportunities right now, especially for those targeting striped bass and bass species. Make sure to check the launch ramp conditions and be cautious of the low water levels and new islands that have appeared.
