Crappie
Crappie enthusiasts visiting Wagon Mound, New Mexico, will find Conchas Lake to be their best bet for some slab-sized action. This reservoir is known to hold a decent population of crappie, offering anglers a good chance at landing some tasty fish. Spring is the prime time to target crappie as they move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around submerged brush, docks, and standing timber in coves and along the shoreline. Small jigs and minnows are the go-to baits. Fall can also be productive as the crappie school up before winter. A helpful hint for fishing Conchas Lake: use your electronics to locate submerged structure, as crappie often congregate around these areas. Also, be aware of the wind conditions, as Conchas Lake can get quite windy, making boat control challenging. The crappie in Conchas tend to be a good size, so be prepared for some exciting fights!
