Seasonal Activity Chart
Largemouth Bass
Springer, New Mexico, offers some surprisingly good largemouth bass fishing, especially in lakes and reservoirs dotting the landscape. Storrie Lake State Park is a popular destination, known for its relatively consistent bass population. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, with bass actively feeding in shallower water. During the summer, focus on deeper structure and early morning or late evening fishing. Local tip: Spinnerbaits and crankbaits are effective for covering water and locating active fish, while Texas-rigged worms and jigs work well around submerged vegetation and structure. Also, be aware that Storrie Lake can experience strong winds, so check the forecast before heading out. The bass in Storrie Lake tend to be on the smaller side, but the consistent action and beautiful scenery make it a worthwhile trip.
