Damn! and I am stuck here with an ice auger

Have Fun

I'm curious, I assume this is catch and release? How does fishinf on the lake in Mexico work?

Agua Milpa is catch & release (keep 2) Great fishing with guides. I have been with my rig, but a very busy lake, with water taxis, fishing rigs. It is a long lake(in Mexico called "presas" when they are man made with dams)
I personaly prefer to Bass fish other "Presas" without guides. There are some big beautiful "Presas" 3-4 hrs from Guadalajara. After the commercial fisherman complete "running their nets" around 10am, I am usually the only boat on the Lake. But, this is very slow fishing compared to Agua Milpa.
At Agua Milpa the numbers caught are unbelievable. But, I like the process
of searching and being alone with my wife(usually outfishes me) Agua Milpa has lodges & food services and where I go is remote & overnite in the
SUV on an air mattress.

"Presa" is the Spanish word for "dam."

Dios Presa, tu es correcto

Tu es correcto?

Tictoc, Fishing license required, however seldom checked. Allowed 2 fish per day per rod, except Feb thru May, when catch and release only. Annual license is 553 pesos.

Thanks. 2 per day per rod. One rod per person/license (I know this is probably obvious)? I see they have bass, anything else worth while?

Tilapia as well but I think they are almost all fished out of there.

Thanks. They taste... well ok if cooked right. How are they for fishing? Can't say I ever fished for them.

This was a really great trip, Bob caught the biggest, 7 pounds, John his son caught a 5 pounder. Mike and I landed in a school of bass, caught 50 plus over a one hour period....1 to 3 pound class. With the one hour time change toughest part ....Bob, JIMMY< JIMMY, it's 0 dark 30....let's go fishing!....4 f ing 30 am LMAO, outside my room!

I had the opportunity, the 1st day, to teach Bob's son John how to cast a bait caster, we had great fun!

I thank sunfan , ohiodan Mike the bass man, Bob, and John for joining us! Sunfan for his gift to me, his gift of a soccer ball to Humberto's son.....

Bob will post photo's when all are collected.

Tictoc, Tilapia are typically netted. White mild flavor, take on the flavor you choose!
