Stripers On Fire: 30-Pounders and 20-Fish Days at Colorado River, Las Vegas
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for all things fishin' on the Colorado River around Las Vegas. Comin' at ya live on this fine March 20th mornin' at 7:30 AM. Sunrise hit at 6:42 AM and sunset's lockin' in at 6:53 PM, givin' us a solid 12 hours of prime light for castin' lines—perfect for that dawn bite when the stripers wake up hungry.
Weather's lookin' mild today, expect highs pushin' 95°F with lows around 68°F, light winds early calm enough for glassy water and killer lure control, per Surf-Life.blue sunrise data. No tides down here on the river—it's all controlled flow from Hoover Dam—but water temps are hoverin' steady in the 50s°F range from recent reports, keepin' things active.
Fish activity's on fire right now! Recent catches from Willow Beach Marina anglers report limits of **striped bass** up to 30 pounds, **largemouth bass** hittin' 5-8 pounders, channel catfish stackin' up in the 10-20 lb class, and decent **rainbow trout** from shore. Carp and smallmouths are bitin' too, with folks pullin' 20-30 fish days easy. Stripers are keyin' on shad schools post-spawn.
Best lures? Go with **swimbaits** like 4-6 inch Keitech Swing Impact in shad colors for stripers—rips 'em right out of the schools. **Spinnerbaits** in white/chartreuse for bass in the eddies, and **jerkbaits** like Rapala X-Rap for twitchin' topwater. Live bait kings are **anchovies** or **shad** on a Carolina rig for cats and stripers, or nightcrawlers for trout.
Hot spots? Hit the **Willow Beach area** 20 miles south—deep pools near the marina are stacked with stripers and easy boat access. Or try **Katherine Landing** upriver on Lake Mohave for bass ambushin' rocky points. Launch early, stay hydrated in this desert heat, and wear your PFD.
