Bluegill
Bluegill fishing near Alamogordo can be a relaxing and rewarding experience, especially for families and beginner anglers. The area offers several small lakes and ponds where these panfish thrive. One of the most accessible spots is usually found within the city limits at local park ponds, but check city regulations regarding fishing. Spring and early summer, during the spawning season, is prime time. Look for shallow, weedy areas where the bluegill build their nests. A simple bobber rig with a worm or cricket is all you need to get started. Local tip: Bluegill in these smaller waters can be surprisingly selective at times. If they're not biting on worms, try small pieces of bread or corn. Also, remember that these are smaller bodies of water, so practice catch and release to help maintain the population. The bluegill here average 4-8 inches, perfect for a fish fry.
