White Bass
White bass fishing near Maxwell, New Mexico, is often centered around the spring spawning runs. While not as abundant as in some other states, Eagle Nest Lake, just east of Maxwell, can offer some exciting white bass action. These fish typically migrate upstream to spawn in the early spring, when water temperatures begin to rise. Focus your efforts in the river inlets and shallow, rocky areas of the lake. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are all effective. Keep an eye out for surface activity, as white bass often school and feed aggressively on shad. A key tip for success is to move frequently until you locate a school. White bass in this region are known for their energetic fights, making them a fun target for anglers of all skill levels. Be aware that the spawn is relatively short-lived, so timing is crucial.
