While some may occasionally be found as a rare catch in mixed bass fisheries, targeting them specifically isn't generally recommended. If you're set on catching spotted bass, consider traveling to warmer regions of New Mexico with lower elevations and more suitable habitat, like the southern part of the state where the climate is more favorable and spotted bass are more common.
