FISHING REPORT

February 25 2004
...
Part 1 of 5 Titled: Adventures in Fishing by Mike Locklear and Henry Morris
Why would any fisherman want to go Mexico especially if Florida is the place to be for largemouth bass? Well, in case you have not heard, Mexico’s fresh water lakes have been receiving a lot of media attention when it comes to large numbers of trophy largemouth bass.
Warmer weather is also an attractive part of the package as is the dryer and less humid air we have at home. Each morning in the Sierra Madre Mountains, the temperatures were a cool 55 degrees but by noon we were close to 80 degrees.
And besides, the fishing pressure is far less than anywhere in the states barring any private lake system. Henry Morris of Homosassa and I traveled by Continental Airlines from Tampa to Houston and finally a connecting flight to Mazatlan Mexico.
Our ground transportation staff was courteous to a group of 17 anglers from various states of the USA. 3 late model air-conditioned vans provided plenty of room for the 100 mile trip to the camp at the Lake.
This remote beautiful mountain lake is nestled in the Sierra Madre Mountains and is about 20 years old. It’s clear and cool waters are teeming with thousands of hungry black bass which will strike almost any type bass lure all year. Without any doubt, this lake is the world's best bass lake for numbers of bass from 8 to 12 pounds with some bass ranging from 12 to 15 pounds. Catches each day average 40 to 60 fish per boat. It is totally a catch and release lake except for some local tilapia commercial fishing.
Fishermen stay in a small quaint village which is reflective of the true "Old Mexico." The camp consisted of a separate house that contained three completely private, air-conditioned bedrooms with twin beds and ceiling fans. We shared one bathroom and shower between six people. Purified bottled water was furnished inside the main great room of the house.
Upon arrival we were welcomed to the camp by the smiling faces and helping hands of mostly children of the village which ages ranged mostly between ages 8 to 13. To be continued . . .
