Largemouth Bass
If you're targeting Largemouth Bass near Elida, New Mexico, you'll be focusing on smaller, often overlooked waters. Think stock ponds and small private lakes scattered throughout the ranchland. These aren't sprawling reservoirs, but they can hold some surprisingly good bass. Spring is prime time, as the bass move shallow to spawn. Look for warmer water temperatures and target areas with submerged vegetation or structure near the banks. A Texas-rigged worm or a spinnerbait worked slowly can be deadly. Access is the biggest challenge, as many of these ponds are on private property. Always seek permission before fishing. Also, be prepared for windy conditions, which are common in this part of New Mexico. The bass here tend to be opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different lures until you find what they're hitting.
