For
more than two decades, Mexico has been a popular
destination for American bass anglers. Unfortunately, many of the
fabled Mexican
bass fisheries no longer live up to their almost
legendary reputations, their fisheries having declined as a result
of unforeseen drought conditions and over-harvesting of the once-plentiful
resource. populations.
In
the last four years, one lake has emerged that might restore
the mystique of Mexican bass fishing once again.
The hottest bass lake in the world might be Lake Huites,
located on Mexico's
West Coast. Huites is
a 30,000-acre man-made reservoir that has been stocked
with Florida
strain largemouth bass. And these bass have taken a liking
to a
protein-rich diet of tilapia
and shad and are growing at a rapid rate. Anglers are catching in
excess of 75 bass a day and 10 pound plus trophies are beingcaught
with great regularity. The local guides
have an intimate knowledge of this deep, clear lake and will take
you to prime structures that concentrate Huites fantastic
bass population. You'll stay in grand
comfort at Lake Huites Lodge, considered to be
the lodge by which all the lakes other lodges are judged in terms
of comfort, cleanliness and quality of the cuisine.

a rain-suit is a must.

Fishing at Lake Huites Lodge |
While it is true that the most experienced anglers return each day
with reports of phenomenal catches, even novice anglers quickly learn
the ways of Huites' bass and land them in numbers
that they could never attain in the US. As the sun rises overhead,
switch to a deeper approach using spinnerbaits, worms and crankbaits.
For real trophies, look towards deeper water for the lunker of your
dreams.
Two
anglers are paired with an experienced guide. Lake Huites
Lodge guides have been trained and retrained
and are now some of the best guides in all of Mexico.
All boats come with Depth
Finders and trolling motors and
are considered to be the best-maintained fleet in all of Mexico.
Also, this season, Lake
Huites Lodge is
the only operation in Mexico offering an upgraded
package that includes 19' Skeeter Bass Boats, fully rigged with
150 hp motors.

Trip Cancellation and Travel Insurance
Recommendation |
A fishing expedition will certainly offer you an exciting and rewarding
experience. Unfortunately, however, one undertaking such an angling
adventure must face the possibility that you or your fishing companion
might be forced to cancel your trip at the last moment due to illness,
injury or other emergency or sustain an unfortunate injury and require
medical services or worse, medical evacuation during your trip. Trip
cancellation and travel insurance can help protect you and your travel
companions from these unforeseen and unfortunate circumstances. We
will send you the application forms from Travelex, a major, reliable
insurer of traveling anglers. Typically, the cost of an extensive
program is less than $65 per $1,000 of coverage. It is wise to always
consult with your personal health insurance provider before undertaking
any type of travel to determine what is covered in the event of injury
or illness during your travels.
