Bass fishing in Mexico is a must for fishing enthusiasts. Not only are the fish plentiful but the added beauty offered by a number of Mexico bass fishing destinations gives anglers a double barrel shot of tourist pleasure.

Whether it's fishing on the magnificent Lake El Sato or being a little more adventurous and fishing the deep waters around the Cabo San Lucas, you would have to be a reasonably ordinary angler not to come away with at least one fish!

Lake El Sato has become world renowned amongst bass fishermen as possibly the most productive bass-producing lake anywhere. The lake makes bass fishing in Mexico a mouth-watering experience with the only problem being dragging yourself away when it's time to leave.

For a few hundred dollars, you can experience a couple of days fishing Lake El Sato with many perks thrown in such as meals, drinks, transport to and from the Lake plus bi-lingual boat guides. If you've never fished before, you'll even be given a solid understanding of how and when to apply your bass fishing equipment in the correct fashion.

Bass fishing is responsible for some of the biggest angling tournaments in the world. It literally injects many thousands of dollars into small town communities fortunate enough to be associated with these fishing extravaganzas. It's like the old story "if we build it they will come."

Bass are said to be an intelligent fish. Smart, clever and elusive. Maybe this is the main reason bass fishing attracts a crowd of anglers. A little like the courting game... the harder and more frustrating it is, the harder we chase. Who knows. I do know one thing though, when bass fishing gets into your system, it's mighty hard to get it out.

This bait looks like and imitates an injured bait fish so much it should be outlawed! Just throw the thing out there and twitch it in. Sometimes they will try to take it out of your hand and sometime they will just have a hold of it. Most of the time it will stay close to the surface and you will see the fish attack it, but some of the time it may go towards the bottom and the line will get heavy so be prepared to set the hook.

Now that we have the basics down, lets talk about rigging this wonderful little creature. As far as I am concerned there is only one color, they call it pearl, white , ghost, etc. I call it white. It does not matter as long as it is white. The easiest way to put a hook on this bait is start in the front about 14 inch, bring the hook out, then insert it back through the body about middle ways down the fat part of the body. If this doesn't work for you or if it's too complicated, they make a screw in deal that all you have to do is stick it in the nose and tighten up the screw after you insert the hook into the metal ring. This is a very good method of fishing this bait because it gives it more freedom to move. The only problem with this is being able to find the screw in deals. One day I'll learn what they call 'em. But if you see one hanging on a hook you'll know what I'm talking about. It looks like a corkscrew - only about one hundredth of the size. Anyway, when you figure out how you want to rig this bait, there's only one thing left to do. Throw the dang thang in the water and hang on!

I throw this bait around piers, points, roadbeds and open water. Especially, when the fish are schooling. One of my favorite ways to fish this bait is to throw around exposed timber, like sunken Christmas trees or pier posts. I have been out with my brother-in-law, Ed, on many occasions and caught anywhere from twenty to thirty bass in one day. This bait also attracts big fish. Most of the time they will average a pound and a half to hawgs. This has been one of our key baits for the past several years and has helped us win several tournaments. By the way, I think you could just put a hook in one, throw it out there and you'd catch a fish. No matter how you work it, it's just that good! Give it a try! I guarantee you will have one of the best days of your life! Best of luck and keep on bassin'!
