Fishing for Catfish at Elephant Butte Lake
Elephant Butte Lake is a great spot for catfishing! In fact, Elephant Butte Lake might just be the most dependable spot for catfishing in New Mexico. Aside from these whiskered fish always being hungry and eager to bite, the lake offers a great breeding ground and vegetation for catfish. This species offers a satisfying catch because they put up a fight, they grow very large, and their size makes for a great dinner. Targeting catfish is great for day or night fishing. They tend to hang out near underwater trees and rock coves. These whiskered fish have excellent senses, including smell and taste. For that reason, shad and stink baits are great choices to hook catfish. They have good eyesight and hearing, and catfish can sense vibrations using their lateral line sense.
