The Fishing

With all the hype about the great fishing in these Mexican lakes 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, Agua Milpa is best known for it’s exceptional numbers of quality Bass, generally in the 2 to 6 pound range. Now if you are strictly Hawg hunting, then honestly El Salto, Bacorac, or Huetis would probably be your best bet, but if you are looking for a lake that can provide hours of non-stop quality Bass Catching Action, then I believe Agua Milpa could be very hard to beat. Not every day is a record breaker, but 150 Bass per boat days have at times been 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. If you have been a bass fisherman for more than a week then you know that when it comes to the way the fish are biting there are no guarantees. .Any number of factors from the weather to the water can cause the bite to be more or less on any given day. I can’t promise you a 300 fish day, but I can promise you that this lake is well established with quality bass, and thus far they have been very cooperative.

If you are familiar with Mexican Bass fishing you are probably familiar with the name “Wild Bill Skinner”. Many consider Bill to be Mexico’s most legendary bass fishing pioneer, sportsman and booking agent. I am told that he has caught more 10lb+ Mexican Bass than anyone alive and though I don’t know him personally from what I do know I have no reason to doubt it. . In his “BassMex” web page Bill states that the large area running about 30 miles north of Agua Milpa’s dam is “one of the best post-spawn bass fishing areas on earth”. He also states that “the lake record for two fisherman in one boat in one day stands at 628 bass.” Not having been there I can’t personally verify those numbers, but knowing what I do about Agua Milpa I have absolutely no reason to dispute them. . 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 Agua Milpa 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.

If you would like to read more about what “can happen” at Milpa, then you may find the following article by Chester Moore Jr. entitled “Bassin 'til your arms hurt” interesting.
