Bruce Hubbord from Logan, N.M. with a nice 23 1/2" Walleye that went 4 1/2 ponds caught 4/1/10. He caught and released 22 more Walleye and also released this one after the picture.
Marylyn and Steve from Riodoso, N.M. on a repeat trip 3/31/10 pictured with 10 of the 18 fish taken trolling in very windy conditions.
Craig and son William from Carlsbad, N.M. with a good catch of Whites, Catfish and a couple Walleye taken 3/26/10.
Water Temp = 47 degrees, main lake clear, river arms stained.
Fishing is really starting to heat up --- if only the wind would die down a bit. The fish don't mind the breeze, but it sure takes some of the fun out of an enjoyable past time. Our water temp. just cannot seem to get to 50 degrees ---its just a matter of a week or so. Once the temp gets to the mid 50's, the fishing is going to bust loose.
Walleye -- good --fish the rocky points in 5-20 feet of water with crank baits or minnows. Trolling will produce some, put not nearly as many.
White bass -- excellent --Troll light colored lures in 20 feet of water up the Canadian to hammer them. Expect 10-40 per trip.
Crappie --slow-- a few being caught, but they are not yet on fire. Need the water temp close to 58-60 degrees before they really go on a bite.
Catfish -- slow to O.K.---a few being caught, but it seems that the fronts have slowed them down a bit.
Small and Large mouth bass--slow to good--from last weekend's Sun Country bass tourney all I can say is that it was a tough bite along with tough weather. However, the last day or two the Smallmouth are waking up to feed on the 10-15 foot flats near the main lake channel. Minnows and crawlers have been the ticket. Fish the upper Ute arm for some Large mouth throwing crankbaits in the stained water near stucture.
FISH-ON,
Rob & Maria
