Bass
Few men have had a greater impact and are more knowledgeable on the world of bass fishing than Billy Chapman Jr.
Today tens of thousands of bass fishermen have had the good fortune to sample the tremendous bass fishing now available in Mexico. Most who have, know that Chapman is the Owner/Operator of Anglers Inn Resorts. What many fail to realize is that Chapman is also the man who led the way in providing the wondrous bass fishing now available in Mexican lakes and beyond.
“I’ve been to the greatest lakes in the country, Okeechobee, Toledo Bend, California Delta, Lake St. Claire… there’s a lot of great places to fish but no place, no place compares to Anglers Inn Lake El Salto in Mexico.”
“This is by far the best fishing show we’ve ever put together. We get on a jig pattern that is unreal. Billy Chapman Jr., owner and founder of Anglers Inn International was our host during our stay, and to say that he’s the best in Mexico is a vast understatement. The first day we got to the lodge our camera was broken, and the next morning Billy had another in camp for us to use. He and the entire Anglers Inn staff made this the can’t miss show of the year.”
“Our entire group was blown away by the hospitality that was so graciously extended by the Anglers Inn International team. Everyone we worked with was beyond professional and attentive to every need we expressed, and some we didn’t even have to express! It’s clear there are real travel pros working behind the scenes here because everything is so well thought out and the experience is truly a bespoke travel experience designed for the kind of people who love the outdoors, love the sea and the creatures in it, love fishing and love adventure. Thank you for everything.”

The water surface on the Crystal River was nearly flat with only slight breeze driven ripples to disturb the calmness. Boating from Kings Bay to the Gulf, a seven mile straight line journey, are miles and miles of mangrove shorelines and shallow bare channels and pockets in the flats everywhere. The pockets, surrounded by turtle grass, are the ideal dining room for bull redfish to lay in wait for their next meal. A stealthy boat and quiet presentation are essential to keep the wary game fish from panicking and rushing off. Some casts are blind to a likely target, other times the redfish can be detected by a slight movement or shadow on the sand. With a careful and precise presentation, the live shrimp or Gulp! Bait is dropped into the open sand of the pocket. Often the fish reacts in an instant to feast on the bait, sometimes a slight twitch is in order. Regardless, once the bite is made the real action starts.
