White Bass
White Bass fishing around Gallup, New Mexico, offers a fantastic opportunity for some fast-paced action, especially during their spring spawning runs. Bluewater Lake is a reliable location. White bass typically congregate near inlets and shallow areas as the water warms up in the spring. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are highly effective. Look for surface activity or schools of baitfish to locate feeding white bass. These fish are aggressive and readily strike lures, making them a great target for anglers of all skill levels. The white bass population in Bluewater Lake fluctuates, so checking local fishing reports can provide valuable insights. A local's tip is to pay attention to wind direction, as white bass often congregate on the windward side of the lake. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the population for future seasons.
