Had an opportunity to fish Lake Amistad and myself and Mike "USMC_GY" made it a two day outing. The first day we hit the banks. Had a hard time finding any fish at first but finally we were able to locate some hungry Gills. The Gills were small but Mike managed to catch a nice Bass that was between 2.50 lbs and 3 lbs. The next day we went out the Pro guide/Bass Pro Kurt Dove. This guy is simply outstanding. He not only puts you on some good fish he teaches you a lot from everything to how to rig tackle, to fish patterns. He is also just a super guy to fish with. Fishing was slow throughout the hole day but we did manage to boat 14. We used both artificial worms and top water frogs. We had a ton of "Bump Bites" where the fish would barely hit the bait. If we could have caught some of those we could have boated 50. Biggest fish caught was between 4 and 5 pounds. Lots of great scenery on a huge lake. We were also able see Mexico from several places we were fishing at. This was my fourth time fishing with Kurt and I plan on fishing with him a whole lot more. Great time on a Great Lake.

Nice

Nice fishes

I always love those travel trips. Thanks Robert for the reply. I may want to add that we had a super steak dinner at the Cripple Creek Steak House in Del Rio and had a super breakfast type dinner at Daddies Grill in Bracket Ville on our way home. Also it looked like the whole area between Castroville and Del Rio got a lot of rain. Some of the creeks had some good water in em. The Hondo Creek looked like a river. It was a very nice sight to see. We can still use a whole lot more of rain. Amistad is about 7 feet low.

Thanks "Tun3r". Amistad has some very nice fish. If you ever get a chance to fish that lake DO IT !

Wow looks nice! That first fish looks very interesting for some reason.

Thanks "jshaw2025"! Mike knew you were out after that Bonus Bass so he had to hit Amistad to nail one! He figured it would be either you or "fishinwithbud".


Side Note: There will be a few bonus Bass coming in the future!

nice fish! great report.iv noticed the gills on amistad are so bite shy for some reson

Thanks "Gar1970" for the reply. I think it is because of the super clear water and the huge bass population. I would not want to be a blue gill in that lake. I think that those Amistad bass eat a lot of em. I do know they have some nice Gills and other Sunnies in that lake. I figure they would be in one of those back coves. The next time I am in your next of the woods I would like to meet up.Would love to meet you and buy dinner!

wonderful fish you two, Its a nice break to catch some big pole bending fish. Glad ya'll made it back safe and sound

Good Job Guys, Looks like fun. Hey Mike, my son has that shirt, Sempre Fi

i agree 100% i wouldnt want to be a gill in that lake either!! the most productive lure iv used out there is a bomber crank bait that looks just like a perch blue gold and red color.let me know next time your in God country would like to meet up also then fish the west prong.

Didn't know you were from northwest Georgia!!

This report is SOOOOOOOOO

WHERE'S THE GILLS!jk

Good report, hope you ate those gill eaters.

who's the buckeye fan?
