Desert Bass

Hope you didn't already go. I've got a decent article on Amistad that should help. Send me an e-mail address and I'll send it to you. Way2busy2fish @aol.com

Thanks for the report - I'm heading down Friday. Sorry the big fish didn't hold up for you.

Sorry I missed your message. Hopefully you saw the postings in the regional forums. Next time shoot me an e-mail. My brother is headed down today. Looks like you got there before the winds. Let me know how it goes.

Sad to hear bout the bad luck. I was hoping you were going to come back and tell me where I could catch them next week. :'(

I haven't got one but I've seen a couple of them bought by women getting ready for the WBT tournament there in a couple of weeks. There should be a few up for sale after the WBT and Elite tournaments. Send me $300 and I'll pick one up for you while I'm down there next month! Just kidding. Honestly, I guess it just comes down to how much time and money you have. It obviously wouldn't hurt anyone to have this kind of information so if you have the money, go for it. Either that or hire one of the reputable guides for a day. Some of us just have too many kids in college to spend $300 on maps. This is starting to look like an advertisement for the maps so I will back out. I don't want to get kicked off this great forum. Good luck and catch a big one!

These maps might be worth it for lakes like Toledo Bend but this one isn't worth it. First, it only covers the far east end and doesn't cover the Mexco waters or main lake areas. Second, the waypoints are the obvious points and coves that any decent fisherman would locate by looking at the ParK Service map for awhile. Third, there are only a few guides that really know that lake and I don't think they worked on this project. Fourth, the lake level fluctuates a lot and after a little dryer weather, you can watch the Javelinas feed on those waypoints. If you want a quick rundown on patterns for the lake you can either adjust for a hydrilla filled lake like Toledo Bend or Rayburn or read my posting on Amistad Lake. P.S. you can look at the lake in detail and find your own waypoints by using the map feature at http://weather.gladstonefamily.net/site/KDRT
