THE FISHING
FISHIN MISSION ADVENTURES
With all the hype about the great fishing in these Mexican lakes- Baccarac, El Salto,
Huites, and Mateos- you would probably appreciate a little straight talk...

Well here it is.  While double digit Bass are certainly available with the Lake record
well over 12lbs, Aguamilpa is best known for it’s exceptional numbers of quality
Bass, generally in the 2 to 6 pound range.  While you have several options for great
Mexican bass fisheries, if you are looking for a lake that can provide hours of non-
stop quality Bass Catching Action, then I believe Aguamilpa is where you want to
be.  Not every day is a record breaker, but 150 Bass per boat days are at times the
norm, and during the post spawn months of April through June, 300 Bass per boat
days have been recorded on a number of occasions.  I can’t promise you a 300 fish
day, but I can promise you that this lake is well established with quality bass, and it
is without a doubt the most consistent fishery I have ever experienced.    

If you are familiar with Mexican Bass fishing you are probably familiar with the late
“Wild Bill Skinner”.   Many consider  Bill to be Mexico’s most legendary bass fishing
pioneer, sportsman and booking agent.   I am told that he claimed to have caught
more 10lb+ Mexican Bass than anyone alive.   Bill once wrote that the large area
running about 30 miles north of Aguamilpa’s dam is “one of the best post-spawn
bass fishing areas on earth”.   Though I haven’t fished them all, I have had the
opportunity to fish some very fine bass waters from California’s Clear Lake to the
Amazon.  All things considered I believe that  Aguamilpa is the finest all around
bass fishery that I have ever experienced.  I must admit that I am partial to this lake.
I love this part of the country, the weather and especially the people, and I believe
that you will too.
