Mateos Bass Fishing, Mexico

One of the most well-known lakes in Mexico is lake Mateos, located in the state of Sinaloa and surrounded by the Sierra Madre Mountains. For many years, Mateos (with the complete name of "Presa Adolfo Lopez Mateo") was deemed as one of the finest Mexico bass fishing lakes, but the lake took a serious hit when in 1994 its water were drained for agricultural use. Luckily, the lake was refilled and re-stocked and now it has regained its status as a great bass fishing lake.

Lake Mateos is the 9th largest freshwater lake in all Mexico, covering an area of 55,000 acres at full pool, and with a depth of approximately 230 feet. Bass in this lake, like in all Mexico is very aggressive, so be sure to come to your trip prepared with the right equipment. The lake is re-stocked regularly to ensure good amounts of bass throughout the year, for this purpose Florida strain bass is used. Mateos is also abundant in majorra, shad and tilapia which is very helpful for the growth of largemouth Florida bass.

This is a great lake for anglers of all levels; specialists say that you do not have to be a pro to catch great bass in this lake. If you travel along with a fellow angler you can expect to catch 100 to 200 fish on one day! And if you are interested in trophy fish, you can easily catch bass in the 14 - 16 lbs range with enough expertise in catching trophy bass.

Mateos bass fishing is complemented with great accommodations, which offer also extra activities, delicious food and all you need to make your trip awesome, including boats and experienced guides. Lodges in the lake will pick you up from the Culiacan International Airport and will take you to the lodge upon arrival, you can check packages and prices on the Web.
