Point Lake is a lake in San Miguel County, New Mexico, and covers about 4.9 acres, reaches about 5.4 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 14.9 acre-feet.
Use this plain plan on Point Lake: one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity. With little deep water in Point Lake, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Point Lake include Green Sunfish.
How to Read the Water
When working Point 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.
Season by Season
The first look at Point Lake should cover this: 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
The early check on Point Lake should stay simple: 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 Point 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.
