New Mexico B.A.S.S. Nation Conservation Director - Dave Garrett
The mission of the New Mexico B.A.S.S. Nation Conservation Program is to provide conservation leadership by developing and supporting actions to protect, improve and sustain quality aquatic resources and user access. As role models, we continue to improve fishing through education, partnerships, communication and strong advocacy for sport fishing and sound natural resource management.
NMBN Giving Back to the Logan Community — New Mexico Bass Nation is proud to support an upcoming fish stocking project in the Logan area, coordinated by Aquatic Consultants, Inc. This effort is our way of giving back to the Logan community and fishery that have supported NMBN and our anglers for many years. Following the recent Logan Open, we are especially grateful to the Logan Bass Club and the Logan community for their continued support. NMBN members, including our youth anglers, will participate in transporting and releasing approximately 2,000 fish, helping improve the fishery and investing in the future of bass fishing in New Mexico.
New Mexico Bass Nation Thanks Gene Gilliland
New Mexico Bass Nation would like to congratulate Gene Gilliland on his upcoming retirement as B.A.S.S. Conservation Director at the end of 2026 and thank him for an incredible career dedicated to bass fishing, fisheries management and conservation.
Gene has devoted 43 years of his professional life to the sport and the resource, including 12 years with B.A.S.S. During that time, he has worked tirelessly with anglers, fisheries professionals, state and federal agencies, conservation organizations and B.A.S.S. Nation members to promote healthy fisheries and responsible stewardship.
NMBN is especially grateful for Gene's support and guidance over the years. His willingness to work with our organization, answer questions, share his expertise and help us address conservation issues has been invaluable to New Mexico's bass fishing community.
Gene's impact will be felt long after his retirement. His commitment to fisheries and the anglers who care about them is an example of what conservation leadership should be.
Thank you, Gene, for 43 years of service to bass fishing and fisheries conservation. Congratulations on your retirement, and from all of us at New Mexico Bass Nation, we wish you the very best in the next chapter!
