Amador Lake is a lake in New Mexico, near Mora County.
Amador Lake is a lake in Mora County, New Mexico, and covers about 44.7 acres, reaches about 12.4 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 308.4 acre-feet.
Amador Lake can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.
Fish listed for Amador Lake include Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Green Sunfish, Largemouth Bass, and White Crappie.
A simple way to find white crappie is to try a light jig or minnow around brush, weeds, and the edge of deeper water.
A simple way to find bluegill is to use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.
Try this for largemouth bass: work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.
Targeting channel catfish calls for a plan to fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.
Other targets listed here include Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
When the bite is slow on Amador Lake, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
To narrow down Amador Lake, in spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
Before moving far on Amador Lake, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
A focused trip to Amador Lake begins this way: record the wind, water color, productive depth, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
Use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.
Treat 12.4 feet as the deepest point, not the automatic fishing depth; start near cover and move deeper only when bites or bait give a reason.
Shift after checking the same useful feature at several depths without finding bait, a clean edge, or a bite.
