Lake Huites
A crew will pick you up at the airport and drive us the three hours to
the air conditioned, spotlessly clean lodge. (Some outfitters charge $250 per
person for this 6 hour round trip ride. You will have a quick supper and then off to our
air-conditioned rooms for a quick nights rest. A little before sunrise there
will be a knock on the door and everyone gets up and comes in for a wonderful
breakfast. You are then taken down to the waters edge and leave with your
guide just as the sun is starting to come up. The guides know what they are
doing and they take you right to the fish. You have a full ice chest with your
choice of beverages to last you until lunch. You come in for a full lunch and
to compare notes with the other guests. Then it is off again to do battle with
bass ranging from 2#'s to 14#'s. This lake has a growth rate of over 2 pounds
per fish/per year.... so all those 4-6 pound fish we caught last year should
be 6-8 pounds this year. (They were) And we caught a lot of them, 200 plus per
day.
This fishing goes on for three non-stop days, food, drinks etc, all free. Then
you fly back home on fifth day. We do ask to tip the hard working staff from
the bus driver to the cook and the guides. This should not be more than an
average of $100 for the trip. One guy tipped his guide $250 for a good day he
had last week. I think this was about $230 too much, but I'm sure the guide is
not complaining. This trip has to be experience to believe it. I have gone the
last four years and I plan on going every year from now on if possible.
