MEXICO BASS
FISHING: Agua Milpa is your choice if you are looking
for Bass Action! The lake is nestled in the mountains
of rural Nyarit State of old Mexico. This beautiful
lake has been delighting Bass Anglers for over 5 years.
It is not uncommon to catch one hundred and fifty Bass a day per
boat. Average fish is well over four pounds, with the largest
bass caught so far over twelve pounds. Those babies are growing!
Agua Milpa was stocked in 1992 with Florida strain large-mouth
Bass by Bill Chapman Sr himself. (Bill Chapman Sr of Chapman-Balderrama
- the leader in Bass fishing resorts in the Western Hemisphere)
No one had fished these pristine waters until "Wild
Bill" Skinner, in a trial period in March of 1995.

There are over 330 miles of Bass fishing shore line - fishing
that will astound you. The lake has a maximum depth of 605
feet and an elevation of 3400 feet above sea level.
After leaving the lodge, you can fish your way south 65 miles
on the Santiago River arm of the lake, or forty miles east on
the Rio Chico. There is also a huge area of aroyo country
for approximately 30 miles north of the lodge that's literally
full of bass. This is one of the best post-spawn bass
fishing areas on earth, and it's not uncommon to catch 400
bass per day per boat during the months of April, May and June.
In fact, the lake record for two fisherman in one boat in
one day stands at 628 bass! Sounds unbelievable?
Well it's true, and it could happen to you, but you have to
be there to have that chance!
Four beautiful waterfalls cascade into this lake. They
run all year round and provide a stunning backdrop to the amazing
fishing. Also clustered in the hills are villages of the
historic Huichol Indians. Three rivers feed this lake
and keep the water level constant, which is different than any
other bass lake in Mexico. The Santiago River is one of
the largest in all of Mexico.
We practice catch and release on all Bass and we seriously
believe Agua Milpa was overstocked in the beginning.
Nevertheless a bass that is alive is a bass that's growing.
Consequently, because of this program there are lots of 4-8
lb Bass, with the largest being caught so far is 12lb 8oz!
The lake record will change on a regular basis because
the Bass are growing at a rate of 2 lbs a year! Here's
your chance to get into the record books! Agua
Milpa is a serious contender as one of the best bass lakes
in the world. |
Comfortable boats and seasoned guides |
While you are enjoying scenery and catching bass until
your arms nearly fall off, you will be fishing in the
comfort of eighteen-foot V-bottom boats with 48 HP
Yamaha outboards and Minn Kota trolling motors.
These boats are outfitted with swivel seats, Coastguard-approved
life jackets, dual batteries and dual gas tanks.
Your seasoned professional local guide sits in the rear
out of the way so that you will have plenty of room to
Hammer the Hawgs in this world class bass factory.
These guides know Agua Milpa like the back of their hand,
and I will assure you that they will do everything in
their power to put you on the fish. They also untangle
your bird nests, your hangups and show you what lures
and presentation work best on the day and in the area
you are fishing.
Besides all this, it's a real luxury to have your
guide hand you your favorite refreshment from the onboard
icebox. Do you get the picture? Are you ready?

"I feel Lake Agua Milpa, although a new
lake, is considered by many as one of the hottest
Bass Lakes in the world! You can catch
bass in the 3-12 lb range with numbers at times
exceeding 100 bass a day per fisherman!
The great bassin', coupled with some of the best
food and service available in Mexico , makes Agua
Milpa a must for any discriminating Bass Fisherman.
Some of my best Bass Fishing memories are
from this "Jewel to the South" and I love
fishing this very special lake!"
Sincerely,
|
"In my book,
Agua Milpa is definitely an experience of a lifetime!"
