- When it comes to bank fishing and shore fishing spots at Lake Mead, the options are very limited especially if you are visiting or new the area. So, in this video I’m highlighting 15 bank fishing spots that you can access at Lake Mead to catch stripers, catfish, bass, carp and more. The 15 spots are 1. Government Wash, 2. Boxcar Cove, 3. Callville Bay, 4. 33 Hole, 5. Willow Beach, 6. Kingman Wash, 7.Boulder Harbor, 8.Sunset Overlook, 9. Hemenway Fishing Pier, 10. Hemenway, 11. PWC Beach, 12. Canoe/kayak Beach, 13. Special Events Beach, 14.Horsepower Cove, and 15. Hatchery Saddle Point. I also include footage and information at the Las Vegas Boat Harbor. I hope this helps anyone looking for a bank fishing spot at Lake Mead. If you have any questions let me know in the comment section and I will get back to you in a day or two. Also, if you have a spot that I didn’t include, let me know as well. Thanks for watching .

Really great video! Glad you showed all these spots for us bank anglers to check out!! There's a couple of these spots that i have yet to go to and your video made me want to check them out. Awesome job!
Thank you I really appreciate it. I can’t wait to see you land a big carp. Hopefully I’ll run into you at one of these spots. Thank you for your kind words 🙏

This is great! Thanks for the video. Looking for a change from Willow.
You're so welcome! I appreciate you watching my videos. 🙏
Thanks for sharing the different fishing spots. My daughters were in the group of volunteers cleaning up Boulder Harbor boat ramp, I showed them your video, and they were very excited to see them self on your video. I fish Boulder harbor all the time.
That is awesome! It’s so sad to see some people trash our beautiful lake and other fishing and camping spots. I do too. I’m sure I’ll run into you one of these days. Thank you for watching and commenting. 🙏
I really thank you for this awesome video
So nice of you. I appreciate that. 🙏
Great video!! Thank you for sharing
You are so welcome! Thank you 🙏
New to LV and been wanting to get out and do some fishing. Really appreciate this video. Super helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Welcome to Vegas and hope to see you at Lake Mead one day. Thank you for watching. 🙏
Thanks bro. Ant tips would help as well. Not used to fishing lakes, I'm a salt water dog.
Thanks for sharing! My son and I ran into you on your way out from Boulder Harbor was nice to meet you! We also got skunked that day lots of bites but no hook ups!
Yes, I remember meeting you and your son. Getting skunked is part of the game. It happens to all of us. But it makes you feel better when you do catch one. 😃
Man I access every single area here on my seadoo since I live in Vegas. It’s very interesting seeing the land routes for these places. I also like to fish but I haven’t fished in fresh water in years maybe I should try this. Thanks for vid man
Thank you for watching my videos. I’ve also seen a few people fish off their Seadoo too. Hopefully the water level will start going back up soon. Thanks for you kind words. 🙏
Thanks brotha we’re going out tomorrow and was looking for a good spot to bank fish
Have fun and I hope you catch a big one. Stay cool. 🙏
Thank you for sharing! Brand new to area can't wait putting all bass gear to work. Suggestions on spawning time of yr and Hungarians
Welcome to Vegas! Usually, bass spawning time is in the spring between May and June. All bass lures will produce. During summer, top water lures, swim baits, and plastics (ned rig and senko) as wells as spinner baits should work. There are various coves around lake mead if you’re fishing for bass from shore but if you have a boat or kayak there are more spots. Thank you for watching my videos 🙏
Thats great video !!!
I was just wondering where i can go to fish next time because i usually fish at echo bay ^^
Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful. Thank you for watching and commenting. 🙏
Hi Peter, nice meeting you at Boulder Harbor last weekend. Quick question though. Which of the spots featured on this vid are good for carp? Thanks and hope to see you out there again.
It was nice meeting you too! For carp, I’m sure they are everywhere but I like Hatchery Saddle Point, Special Events Beach and canoe/kayak beach(once it gets cooler w/ less families out and about). If it’s not too busy the fishing pier is good for carp too. I also like Box Car cove. Of course things can change with the drop in water level. I hope this helps and I look forward to seeing you on the water soon!
I went out to mead on Friday and caught a 5.2 lb largemouth 2 smallies that were about 2 pounds each and like 7 stripers. The spot I went to is well known but I hiked like 2 miles to get to my secret cove.
That is so awesome! It makes those hike in the grueling heat so worth it. Thank you for watching my video and commenting. 🙏
I always get skunked in lake mead so thank you for these spots! Curious what you use for bait ?
Thank you for watching and commenting. If I’m fishing for stripers and catfish, my go to bait is frozen anchovies on a Carolina rig. Others use night crawlers and stink bait also. For carp, I use pack bait (panko & corn flake cereal) in the cage with can corn on the hook or hair rig with fake corn. With lures, I use top water lures like whopper plopper or spook and swim baits for Stripers and bass as well as ned rig (for smallies). If I’m on my kayak I’ll also use plastic worms, A-rig, spinner bait and jigs. I hope this helps. 🙏
Saw you this morning at Government Wash. There were those 3 very loud individuals to your right. The female and two males.
I was off to your left with my son. I waved at you once. Anyway great video and awesome to see you out there fishing.
By the way we didn’t get anything there or down by Boulder Beach. How did you do?
Yes, those guys were loud. They were blasting their music earlier and it makes it tough as I need to remove the music as TH-cam will demonetize videos with copyrighted music. Anyway, I decided to fish at Govt Wash as I heard they are closing the Government Wash Road on August 1st. Not sure if it’s temporary or permanent but I’ll do some research and let folks know about it in the video. I was able to catch 3 stripers, a catfish and a huge snapping turtle today. After I went to check out a few spots off the 8 mile road for future visits. Next time come say hello and I could include you and your son in the video. Take care and hope to see you guys again soon!
@@Busydad that’s awesome. We headed over towards Boulder beach where that launch is that closed. We walked around to the other side. Got skunked.
Headed back out Wednesday night. We are thinking of camping up north around Stewart Point.
Have you ever fished up there?
Thanks for sharing BDF. Great video. I’m new to Las Vegas. Which spot is best for trout fishing?
For trout go to Willow Beach. They usually release them on Thursday (sometimes Friday) morning. You can go for trout as well as stripers looking to eat the released trout. Once it gets cooler they’ll start releasing trout at Veterans Memorial Park (Boulder Pond) as well as Sunset Park. Check out the NDOW’s site for release schedule. Thanks for watching my videos. 🙏
@@Busydad thank you very much. Keep doin your thang with those great videos…
Life videos can you please share how much weights you are using?
I typically use 3/4 oz or 1 oz barrel weights. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching 🙏
What type of rod holders are those?
Thank you very much.
Coming from Ohio and been here for 20 years as I never explore lake until my son it old enough now.
This Friday 9/13 I’m taking my son to the lake and trying to find a spot that he will catch a fish.
Any recommendations?
Thank you for watching and commenting. 🙏 Hatchery Saddle Point, Boulder Harbor, the fishing pier are spots you might try. For Boulder Harbor you’ll need to hike a bit so if you want easy access, Saddle Point or the fishing pier might be a good spot. It will be best if you could get there early in the morning. Once the sun comes up and gets hot, the fish will go into deeper waters. Good luck and I hope your son will catch a big one!
Thank you again!
We are waking up at 5 to get out there early. The weather breaking under 100 so it should be nicer.
Do you think a small car can make it to Hemingway fishing pier ?
Absolutely! No problem at all.
I’m new to fishing in Vegas and I just want to know what species and what rigs should I use for fish here
For stripers, live shad (by cast net) will produce you the most fish. Otherwise, Carolina rig with frozen anchovies. Swim baits, Alabama rig, top water plugs if fishing by artificial. For bass (large mouth and small mouth) night crawlers, swim baits, top water lures and plastics (ned rig, senko). For trout, power bait, spoons, spinners, and flies. For Catfish, Carolina rig with night crawlers, anchovies, chicken, hot dog, marshmallows, stink bait should work. For bluegill and sun fish night crawlers on a small hook using a bobber. For carp use pack bait with corn (or fake corn) on the hook. If you have access to a boat or kayak there are more options too. But hopefully this helps. If not let me know. Welcome to Las Vegas and hope to see you on the water one day. Thank you for watching my videos. 🙏
@@Busydad thanks I’ll try to go this weekend
Do you need an AZ fishing license to fish at kingman wash? Great video btw!
As long as you have either NV or AZ fishing lincense you are good to fish at Kingman Wash. thanks for watching.
Where’s the saddle point location I couldn’t find it on maps
In Google map type in “Hatchery Saddle Point” then it should direct you. Otherwise, from Lake shore road, turn at Saddle Cove Road which becomes Dick’s Cove Rd. I hope this helps. If not let me know. Thanks for watching. 🙏
Where can you catch large mouth bass?
If you fishing from the bank they are usually in various coves at Lake Mead. I’ve caught them near Hemenway, Hatchery Saddle Point, Boulder Harbor Sunset Lookout. With the water level dropping they tend to move around. Join the Southern Nevada kayak Anglers group on Facebook as they do monthly tournaments for bass and they can probably give you a much better answer. Desert Shore is a gated community but the ponds in there have good size large mouth. Unfortunately, you do need to live there or fish with someone who has a pass. Not sure where you live but Floyd Lamb Park also stock bass there too. Hope this helps.
@@Busydad thank you
Where have you been? Busy working I know.
Yes, got busy with work, traveling and visitors, plus didn’t want to post any skunk videos. Anyway, I appreciate you watching my videos.
Is there a way on youtube i can disable the music? I know, turn the volume down, but i dont want to miss talking. Otherwise I think it might be a good video. Thank u
Try this link. I've edited so the volume is much lower. th-cam.com/video/clJEilWC4p8/w-d-xo.html
@Busydad thank u, but it wouldn't play for me saying the video is private
Try it now it should play

@@Busydad You rock! lol It'd be nice if every content provider was as nice as you. Thank you. I love it.
Hi Peter,
Nice video! I initially thought you were going to do them all in one day! Then I realized "he can't." Went fishing last week at Floyd Lamb-caught 1 carp. Put up a nice fight and finally I christened my new net. Worked well. BTW, how do you rate that Casio fishing watch? Any faith in it? My watch was positive and I did catch a carp but its too early to say if it really works. OK, all for now. Will catch you next time.

So far I really like the watch. It seems to be working pretty consistently, especially fishing at Lake Mead. Not sure how it works at local ponds as I’ve caught a few when the indicator was blank but it gives me some knowledge that I don’t possess for $20. Congrats on catching a carp as I’m sure it put up a great fight. Thank you always for watching and commenting. 🙏 Stay cool and talk soon!
Water level came up? Nah there's no way. It keeps dropping everyday. I haven't seen it rise at all.
I meant from where it was in 2022. The water level will always fluctuate depending on the In flow vs out flow. I’m sure we’ll see more drop as we head into the triple digit temperatures. Thank you for watching 🙏
