Largemouth Bass
Largemouth bass fishing in the Hobbs, New Mexico area centers around several smaller lakes and reservoirs. These waters offer a mix of habitat, from submerged vegetation to rocky shorelines, providing ample opportunity for bass. Spring and fall are the prime seasons, with the pre-spawn and post-spawn periods offering the most aggressive bites. Look for bass staging near shallow cover in the spring or moving deeper to escape the heat in the summer. A local tip: Lea County Lake is a popular spot, but it can get crowded, especially on weekends. Early morning or late evening are your best bets to avoid the crowds and find active fish. The bass population is generally healthy, with a good mix of sizes.
