What is the best fishing lakes in Texas?
Hope This Helps AMISTAD Amistad is a 64,900-surface-acre reservoir fed by the Rio Grande River, which divides Texas and Mexico. It’s about 12 miles northwest of Del Rio, located at the northwestern tip of what is known as the South Texas Plains, and at the southwestern tip of the Edwards Plateau. Amistad is an excellent topwater lake in spring and fall, but in the early part of the year, anglers often have to deal with strong winds. Fortunately, there are many coves that provide some protection, but there’s also lots of open water that can be especially dangerous for smaller boats. The Rio Grande is a fertile stream and helps provide an abundance of baitfish and other edibles for bass. Knowledgeable anglers can easily read the terrain and discover areas most likely to hold bass. However, an always-good bet is to run crankbaits through submerged mesquite and vegetation, and to work points with plastic worms.
