Stripers are active around dawn and dusk, providing anglers with lively action during the cooler hours of the day. Hard plastics in shad patterns are the lure of choice, often drawing strikes when thrown to a boil. While black bass fishing remains slow, persistent anglers have found some success around Las Vegas Bay using topwater poppers and Chatterbaits. For those targeting catfish and carp, Hemenway offers a promising spot.  Anglers are reporting frequent catches with anchovies and corn, particularly in the late afternoon when the warm water species are more likely to bite. Warm summer temperatures continue to challenge some, but patience and strategic timing are keys to a rewarding day on the water.
