I am going to amistad next week and I will be lauching out of the pecos I was wondering how the fishing was and if it is better right now for night fishing or during the day. Any help would be appericated. Thanks!

Might want to do some checking. Heard on the news this morning The Rio in Big Bend is at flood level and still rising,,be lots of debris coming down and probably very muddy

was just there and the rumor is chocolate milk up there...they had ALOT of widespread rain ther this weekend!

Put in at the Pecos on Friday, July 27. Pecos is almost Choc. milk, but the Rio is definately muddy. Bunch of sugar cane floating down, but it's easy to avoid...it gets trapped in the sitck ups, and there's plenty of open water.

Yes, the occasional 4" limb is floating, but the bigger they are, the easier it is to sopt them, and again, most of them are bunched up with the sugar cane....so it's not difficult to get down the river. Would I go WOT? No. But we drove through it doing 40-45mph, and didn't have a single problem.

The water clears up around the 2nd bend, and by the time you hit coves and open water, it's normal Amistad.

Yeah stay away from that lake its ugly.J/K


Was there this sunday didn't do to well fish were not biting as usual. Couldn't seem to find a pattern. Biggest few was #4 other than that it was too slow. not even the small ones were out playing.We have had a cooler than usual summer patterns are different. Lake does look like chocalate water though.You can tell that water has risen even in this past week.

Does anyone have good GPS coordinates?

Yaaa...I'm sure we'd ALL like to have those. LOL!!!

Fished Amistad from 7:30a till 4pm this past Tuesday July 31. Fishing wasn't as fast and furious as previous trips but we did end the day with around 45. We didn't get into any big girls but had fun with plenty up to 4 pounds. Our best 5 was around 17-18lbs. Our fish came on frogs, jerkbaits, spinnerbaits, crankbaits and a senko. The biggest came on a weightless t-rigged senko but the most enjoyable action was on the frog. At the end of the trip though, we got into them pretty good on deep cranks on top of a shelf on main lake in about 20-25 foot. They were piled up. We only fished on the Mexican side between Zorros and Lunker Canyon and in and out of the cuts along the stretch on the left before that cement duck blind. Fun trip!

Going to Amisted in Oct 4 days we hope any info on what baits we can use would be a great help Thanks

Thats what I figured!!
