.Well I am back from Mexico.  We had alot of work planned. And we were able to get the  foundation poured on our new building and two new vehicals, along with 100 other things including a little fishing.  Also the construction wil not interfere with your trip. We are going to make our additions, and then renovate the old lodge. So we will be able to accommodate a full camp all season long. When all is finished we will be able to handle 30-32 guests. We still have some openings so come on down. Fishing Report  The weather was not helpful this trip we had two windy and very cold, cold  fronts pass through and you know what that does to fishing. However a 12 and 10 pound bass were boated. Catches ran up to 135 per day.  I would like to encourage fly fishermen to come down and fish for large mouth bass. Several have come in the past and did quite well. I am planning my next trip down now if you would like to go with me give me a call. See you in Mexico J.C.

We will be open all summer long book now call for specials!

We are having a great season at Lake Mateos Bass Lodge. Our guest are  having a ball. Catches ran from 50 to 150 bass per day. With 10 pounders already being caught.  The best bait continue to be, poppers,zaraspooks,and buzz baits in the morning and evening. Mid day Lipples crankbaits and spinner baits in chartreuse and white, and of course ratle traps. Weather conditions Mild and warm 80f in the day. 60s at night. Water level is 56% The Bass are starting to move on bed and will continue spawning for 3 to 4 months.   In February the trees are all brown but the birds will fill the lake with color and grace. If you want to catch fish and see thousands of birds plan to come around that time. It is awesome.

Great news Lake Mateos Bass Lodge is expanding to serve  you better  with a new kitchen, Dinning area, and rooms. Ground breaking is already underway.

Fishing report Oct.27th – Nov. 2nd 2010   We had a good week at Lake Mateos bass Lodge opening the camp and getting started for the seasion. Fish TV was back with us again at Lake Mateos for another great show which will be on the outdoor channel in about 2 weeks.  Please plan to watch it as it wil show accross the US and Canada. Fishing did get offto a slow start but we did have many nice fish in the 10 to 9 pound class followed up by lot’s of 8 to- 6 pound fish. Many 4 and 5 pounders werealso  caught. However, two earth tremors and two passing cold fronts did slow the bite down. Nevertheless: everybody had a blast swaped fish stories, caught fish and gained wait, thanks to the good food. Hope to see you soon.  More pictures from other guest will be coming in shortly and we will send them on to you. some time next week.        Be shure and watch us on Fish TV  check for your local listing times. Thanks to all our many fine guest.

Testimonial from Terry Canterbury, Travel Writer

“This was a trip of a lifetime bass fishing trip to Mexico.  I never in my life have caught so many big bass.  Even my wife Cathy caught two 6 pounders and boy was she excited.  A trip like this will spoil you, especially when you catch 80 to 100 bass a day that average between 4 to 7 pounds.  My biggest was 9.5 but there were some 14 pounders caught.  My friend, Colby Simms caught one at 10.5 pounds.  It was a great trip to Lake Mateos Bass Lodge.”

What to Bring on Your Trip         written by J.C. Galloway

What do I need to bring when I come to Lake Mateos Bass Lodge is a question asked by almost everyone.  Well, let’s start from major to minor.   1.  A reservation is required.  No one can just show up because we do not accept walk in guests.  Why?  Because we want to be able to meet and exceed your needs properly.  We also like to be prepared to deal with any special dietary issues including allergies as well as special medical needs.  Now you know why we ask these questions each and every time you visit.   2.  A passport is required.  This can take up to 8 weeks unless you pay extra to have it given a priority status.  You cannot send in the required information then decide to have it expedited.  You must ask for priority status at the beginning of the process.  So start early or bite the bullet and pay the extra fee if it is not worth the stress of not knowing if it will get to you in time.   3.  Bring personal hygiene items (razors optional) along with medicine.  The airlines likes medications in the proper prescription bottles.   4.  Bring reels in good working order with good line.  I cannot tell you how many times I’ve heard fishermen say, “I wish I’d changed my line before I left.”  After that big one gets away no amount of praying, wishing or cussing will bring her back.  So, change your line at home.  We recommend braided line and my personal choice is 50# Stealth Braid by SpiderWire.    5.  What kind of lures do I bring?  Call Teri the week before you leave and she’ll be able to tell you what they’ve been hitting with.  Or, check the website for fishing report updates which includes what lures are hitting.  The website lists the most common productive lures, however, bring your favorite type as well.   6.  Clothing:  The weather at Lake Mateos will vary from 25 degress to 100 degrees depending upon the season.  On a typical Jan. – March day it can start out at 25 degrees and by 10:00 a.m. be 80 degrees.  So, bring a variety of clothing and layering works well.  Also, bring a rain coat or poncho, a hat and 2 pair of sunglasses are recommended.  Oh, and don’t forget the sunscreen!   7.  Bring a camera in a waterproof bag along with extra batteries.  The scenery is breathtaking and you’ll see a lot of birds!  Do not pack your camera in your luggage, but pack in your carry-on.   8.  Bring a camera . . can’t reiterate this enough.  Of all of the big fish caught last season not one of the fisherman had a camera on his boat.   9.  Come expecting to have fun, good fellowship, great food and expect to catch a lot of fish.    10.   Leave the office behind.  Trust me it will be there when you return and if it isn’t your being there or worrying about it will not change a thing.  This is your trip and it is for you to enjoy.  Come and enjoy what God has made for us.  Relax, you deserve a break and you will feel better for it and your family will be glad you did.   Other frequently asked questions and answers can be found on our website.  Go to ww.aztecfishingtours.com to read more.
