Lake Huites, nestled within the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains on the western Mexican mainland, is one of the most scenic lakes in all of Mexico. This beautiful lake was created by the damming of the Rio Chinipa and Fuerte rivers. Lake Huites sits at 4,500 feet above sea level and, when at full pool, during the fall months, occupies some 30,000 surface acres. Huites is 18-miles long in one direction and 15 miles long in another and possesses more than 100 miles of shoreline to fish. This lake is a structure angler’s paradise, offering every conceivable fish-holding habitat a bass would relate to or an angler desires to fish. Once called the "Mystery Lake," (because operators did not want their competition to know the name of this lake or where it was located), this deep, clear water canyon impoundment is literally loaded with healthy, aggressive bass. It was initially stocked with Florida strain largemouths from the El Fuerte River system back in the 70's. After the dam was finished, subsequent stockings with pure Florida strain largemouth bass have created a bassin' factory that has surpassed the expectations of any new lake in the world at this time. Hundreds of bass over 10 pounds have been caught and released at this great new lake and the lake record currently stands at 16-pounds!
The bass in Lake Huites are growing at a rate of 2 pounds per year, so it's no wonder so many fishermen are looking for their largest bass to be caught on this beautiful young reservoir. One of the reasons Lake Huites is so full of fast growing bass is because of the huge forage base and the structure that exists along its banks and shorelines. The forage consists of shad, crayfish and the protein packed tilapia. The average bass in this lake is already around 2-3 pounds, and it's not uncommon for experienced anglers to have catches of 100 to 200 bass per day per boat weighing anywhere from 2 to 14 lbs. The current lake record stands at a whopping 16 pounds! That bass was released and is still lurking in the timber filled cove she was caught in, just waiting for someone to throw the right plug in her face....she's got to be around 17 pounds by now! Not bad for a lake as young as Huites. This lake has the potential to produce the next world record some day, just like all of her sister lakes in Mexico. One good thing Lake Huites has in its favor is that not many drive-in boaters from the States or Mexico fish her waters. Also, the commercial netting has some strict restrictions and enforcement. In fact, there are no nets at Huites between April and October! That fact in itself will insure many years of super bassin' on this great lake!
From early October until December, the bass at this pristine lake will hit almost anything you throw at them. From top water action beyond belief, to working the humps with worms, lizards and swim baits and everything in between. Then in January the bass begin to make the move into their pre-spawn mood when a spinner bait usually rules with plastics and crank baits doing well also. Then, there’s the classic spawn in March when the big females are busting with eggs and are willing to hit most anything that is worked slow and deliberate. During April, May and June, the angler can expect to get into some good numbers and really big fish in the post spawn, by slow rolling a big spinner bait and digging a lipless crank bait on the bottom in deep water!
Two anglers share the boat with an experienced guide. Although they speak little, if any English, they do know prime areas to fish and are eager for you to have the fishing trip of a lifetime. The boats are roomy and offer swivel seats, trolling motors and outboards.
