Seasonal Activity Chart
Crappie
Crappie fishing near Henderson, Nevada, centers around Lake Mead. This massive reservoir offers expansive habitat ideal for these panfish. Spring is undoubtedly the best time, as Crappie move into shallower waters to spawn. Look for them around submerged brush, docks, and rocky outcroppings in coves. Trolling small jigs or using live minnows under a bobber are effective methods. During the hotter summer months, Crappie tend to retreat to deeper, cooler water, often suspending near submerged structure. Lake Mead can be challenging due to its size, but focusing on areas with submerged trees and brush piles, easily located with a fish finder, will greatly increase your chances. The Hemenway Harbor area is a popular access point, but be aware of boat traffic, especially on weekends.
