Any news on the fishing at Elephant Butte? State report says good. I just don't want to drive that far if not good fishing.

The Duke City Bass Bums had a 2 day team tournament last weekend, took 17+ lbs to win. 14+ took forth. Big bass was 4.0? lbs. There were also teams that had 6 lbs and less. A few struggled. I believe there were 9 or 10 teams. When I go out it's mid to late morning, each day is different. I may catch a small limit one day and 1 to 3 keepers the next. Seems like the lake changes every day.
thank you
When are you thinking of coming down?Originally Posted by Shawn 202
Walleye fishing has been crazy good for the last 3 weeks, bigguns too. 52* water temp 25-30 fow on blade baits.
Water temp was 62+ today, caught 3 shorts and a 1.5-2 lb black. To add to that we caught 9 nice whites. Fished from 9:15 to 2:00. Couldn't ask for a nicer day in Nov.
trying to get my brother to pick a date. We had two trips earlier this year slow fishing so trying to get in one with better fishing
Bass fishing is not stellar. I'll be going out again Wed, 9 am to about 2 pm unless the weather doesn't co-operate. I'll post results.
How did you do yesterday Dean? Just wonderin'
I caught a 3 lb smallie and Mike caught 2 nice smallies and 1 black. Where were you hiding?
Good job, Jeff and me are heading down tomorrow for the weekend. Sounds like the lake is doing pretty good. See the water is still going up also. You stayin mostly down south, or heading up north also?
Those fish were caught south. The fish last week were by Kettle Top area.
If the weather is good tomorrow I will probably hit the lake late morning. Do some running, look for new habitat and maybe some fishing.
Hows the water level and the temp guys?

Foul, I understand. If you get down give me a call or come by for a cool one. I will send text.
Went out today for a couple of hrs with a good friend, did a small amount of fishing and some cruising and looking around. A gorgeous afternoon on EB. Send some water or snow south.

EB is currently 72.4 ft below conservation pool which is what I have called spillway for many years. It is still coming up very slow. We need lots of snow and rain.
