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.

I always love those travel trips. flag 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. food 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. juggle It was a very nice sight to see. clap We can still use a whole lot more of rain. Amistad is about 7 feet low. fish

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


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

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. thumb 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! food
