[#0000FF]I have fished that New Mexico pond...Elephant Butte. Super fishing for largemouth, white bass and stripers. The white bass there get almost as large as Willard Bay wipers.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Elephant Butte is more fertile and feeds the gizzard shad better. They hatch earlier and feed well so they do grow bigger faster. There will be some 5-7 inch shad in Willard by the end of the year but the majority in late fall are less than 4 inches...just right for W & W.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]The fun of fishing is in the journey...not the destination. I still learn at least something new on almost every trip...and feel cheated if I don't.
