Hi Debbie...
Well, you did it again! We had a great trip and we all look
forward to our return to Las Palmas. After we had caught 75 bass
in our first afternoon of fishing we felt that beating the best
ever single day catch of 140 fish was well within our grasp. When
our buddies raised the bar and challenged us to top 200 bass in a
single day we decided to go for it. When we awoke at 5:30 am to a
"Norther" cold front, we, Ed and our guide Carlos all had our
serious doubts. Nevertheless, we had our 200th bass at 3:30PM and
went on to finish the day with 234 (boated and released) fish.
Lake Guerrero is the only place where I can even imagine that this
would be possible.
As a three time guest (and more to come) I have always said that
if they were not biting, I'd still love it (the great food,
hospitality, accommodations and the wonderful staff). The quality
fishing makes Hacienda Las Palmas a serious fisherman's 5 star
list of MUST destinations.

Thank you for the beautiful trophy commemorating the great day
that Doug and I experienced while guests at your beautiful resort.
Lake Guerrero and your staff and guides have been a part of some
of my greatest bass fishing memories: 10 lb 11 oz. and 10 lb 10
oz. largemouth in 1999, and now 234 bass in one day. My new goal
is to crack the 12 lb barrier - tell Carlos to get ready. See you
soon. Ralph

I apologize for the delay in writing but wanted to let you and Ed
know how much I enjoyed my trip to Hacienda Las Palmas this past
February. As you know, this was my 4th consecutive year there and
eat year the fishing seems to get better. Everyone in our party
plans to return in 2004 along with 1 or 2 new people.
The most successful day I've ever had fishing anywhere was Feb.
26th at Lake Guerrero. I caught a 10 lb. 1 oz., 6 lb. 9 oz.,
several 3l - 4 lb., and a bunch of 1 - 2 lb. bass on that day. I
caught the 10 lb 1 oz. on a watermelon/red flake super fluke. I
caught the 6 lb. 9 oz. fishing on topwater. Even my partner for
the day caught a 5 lb 6 oz. and this was his first fishing trip.
See you next year.

Hi, Debbie,
Just a quick note to thank you for the great trip Dave, Ian and I
had this past week. The service was as always excellent... thanks
Ed. Now, to the fishing. As you know I have been coming to
Guerrero for 8 years now. Let me tell you that the lake is in
great shape. The new water level (the highest I have seen in 10
years) has re-created a great fishery. We fished for two
days, four outings.
Day One:
I caught somewhere around 40 fish in the morning. The largest was
just short of 8 lb.. I also caught 11 more fish over 5 lb. So I
had a great morning by anyone's standard. The fish are short but
incredibly fat. In the afternoon we had a little tougher
fishing after the cold front came through. I still caught 25
fish, 5 over 5 lb..
Day Two:
The next day we found the hot spot in the river. We tied up to a
tree in the wind and I caught 35 fish. The average size 4 lb.. The
largest was 6 lb.. What a school of bass. Incredible!!! I did
hook two large fish. (10 lbs+) but as in most cases they came off.
Let me finish by saying that the lake is in great shape. I have
never caught so many quality fish in two day's in my life. Before
coming down I had heard rumors of the decline of Lake Guerrero.
What a joke, the lake is better than ever!

I thought you might like a report on our fabulous fishing trip out
of Hacienda Las Palmas on May 3, 4 & 5, 2001. The only thing that
exceeded the great fishing were the accommodations at the Hacienda
and the hospitality of you and Ed.
During the 3 full days of fishing our group of 14 fisherman caught
one 9.5pounder, two 9.0 pounders, one 8.0 pounder, one 6.5 pounder,
one 6.0 pounder, and four 5.5 pounders.

Cliff and I wanted to thank you, Ed and your staff for an
outstanding fishing adventure. The Hacienda had all the amenities
needed for die-hard fisherman and for that matter all the
amenities needed for those that may just want to hangout at the
lodge. Your guides put us on fish each day and knew of every hot
spot on the lake and river. We both came down looking to beat our
personal best weights and we did! Thanks for the tip on the
Watermelon lizards. My almost 9 pound bass and my 6 pounder came
on a watermelon Arkie - saltin crawlin lizard. Cliff's 7.3 came on
a Zoom baby-bass super fluke. Look forward to seeing you again
next year. Thanks again.
