Smallmouth Bass
Chasing smallmouth bass around Boulder City? You'll be primarily targeting Lake Mead, a vast reservoir with plenty of rocky structure and coves perfect for smallies. Spring and fall are prime times, as the water temperatures are ideal for bass activity. Focus on areas with rocky points, submerged ledges, and drop-offs. Smallmouth in Lake Mead can be finicky, so try varying your presentations. Crawfish imitations, tubes, and jerkbaits are usually productive. Lake Mead can experience strong winds, so be sure to check the forecast before you go. Launching from Hemenway Harbor provides good access to the lower basin, which is known for its smallmouth. Also, be mindful of the fluctuating water levels, as this can significantly impact where the fish are holding. Look for areas where the water level has recently changed, as this can concentrate baitfish and attract smallmouth.
