The sun is brutally hot here in the desert southwest in summer time. PLEASE consider booking a night trip to avoid getting cooked like a lobster. We can catch a ton of fish, pretty much have the lake to ourselves and we won't get sunburnt! It is quite safe cause the lake has lighted navigational buoys all around AND I've been night fishing this lake for years.
Running angling trips out of Willow Beach, Hooked On Stripers invites you to check out the local fishery in style.
Capt. Ray aims to tailor every trip to your specific needs, so let him know what you’re after! Depending on the trip and species, you’ll be using techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, and spinning. At Willow beach you’re looking at 6-hour night trips, where you’ll go after the likes of trophy sized striped Bass. The state record 67+ lb striper was caught here. This trip is only offered at night. It begins about an hour before sunset.
You’ll be fishing from a 19’ Tracker boat with enough room for up to 4 anglers. It also includes a wireless trolling motor.
When it comes to rods, reels, and terminal tackle, everything you need is included in the price. Please make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time.
Depending on the species caught and their size, the catch you keep will be shared with the crew following the trip. Please get in touch with the captain if you have any questions.
You’ll find free snacks, and drinks on the boat for your convenience, but you’re always welcome to pack your own drinks and snacks should you want to.
Want to bring the rest of the family along for the ride? Kids above the age of 5 are welcome aboard, so you’re free to make it a family adventure. In case you want to bring more than 4 people, please get in touch with the captain beforehand.

My husband and I went fishing with captain Ray today, and we had a blast! This was our first time catching stripers, and we reeled in 17. We also caught 2 small mouth. Captain Ray was extremely knowledgeable, and made the experience so fun! Would highly recommend to anyone.

Captain Ray was a solid guide for a great time on Lake Mead. We had so much fun that we’ve started planning a second trip this year.
