Non-Stop Bass Action at Mexico’s Lake Aguamilpa 

With all the hype about the great fishing in Mexican lakes like the 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 12 lbs., Lake Aguamilpa is best known for its exceptional numbers of quality bass, generally in the 2–6 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, 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 many occasions. We can’t promise you a 300 fish day, but we can promise you that this lake is well established with quality bass, and it is without a doubt the most consistent fishery many anglers have ever experienced. 

If you are familiar with Mexican bass fishing you are probably familiar with the late “Wild Bill Skinner”. Many considered Bill to be Mexico’s most legendary bass fishing pioneer, sportsman and booking agent. I am told that he claimed to have caught more 10+ lb. 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 (Dave) 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 Lake 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.
