Listed below are some suggested lures that have proven most effective during the
different seasons. Though it is available to catch Quality Milpa Bass in a variety of
ways throughout the year, the following lures have worked particularly well during
the seasons indicated. Contact us shortly before your adventure to get recent
updates on what has been working best.
October & early November:
Although soft plastics are effective throughout the year they will likely be your go to
baits in the fall. Large worms, especially larger Senco type baits will top the list but
10” power worms and large lizard baits are very effective as well. Watermelon,
Pumpkin, Black & Blue, Red Shad, Tequila Sunrise and at time Chartreuse are all
very good colors for this lake. Texas rigging with 3/0 to 4/0 hooks and ¼ to ½ oz.
bullet weights will be most effective. Quality Milpa bass have been taken on just
about every soft plastic critter imaginable so if you have a confidence bait that we
do not mention don’t be afraid to bring it. I have even taken a fair number of bass
on jigs and tubes though crayfish are not present in the lake.
Mid - November through January:
Spinner and crank baits excel during this time. White, chartreuse, shad, and
combinations of the three are the spinner bait colors of choice. ½ & ¾ oz. will serve
you well with Indiana or a combination of willow and Colorado blades. We would
suggest that you bring plenty of them though as you will likely be fishing a good
deal of submerged wood. The Rapala DT series crankbaits in DT6 and DT10 are
becoming a lake favorite this time of year. Shad, Fire Tiger, and Baby Bass are
effective colors, but at times baits with some orange on their bellies are a must.
The top water bite begins to heat up during this season as well.
February through April:
Now if you really love top water fishing this may be the best season to schedule
your adventure. There is little cloud cover this time of year so as you would expect
early mornings are the prime time for the top water bite. You can bring a few 3/8 &
½ oz white or white and chartreuse buzz baits, but Poppers and Chuggers with
white, silver, and gold bellies will work best on the calm mornings. The Zara
Spook and Torpedo style baits are very effective as well.
Rods & Line
Medium-heavy to heavy action baitcast rods spooled with 12 to 20 pound test will
serve you well. Though I'm sure you'll want to bring them all two to four rods will
serve you well during most any season on Aguamilpa.
