My husband and I went fishing @ Alamo Lake on Saturday. The weather was beautiful. The water was nice and calm. Great for skiiing but boy would that tick the fisherman off. What’s nice about Alamo lake is there are always families. You could hear the little kids get sooooo excited when they caught a fish. It was cute. My husband caught 5 Bass on a variety of lures. I caught a tree, moss and a tan. I don’t get away from Wickenburg very often (unless I am showing homes) so it was nice and relaxing.
If you have never been to Alamo, you should try it out. From Wickenburg it is only about 1 hour and 15 minutes (give or take depending on who’s driving). Alamo Lake is noted as one of the best bass fishing lakes in the western US and is stocked with large-mouth bass, catfish, bluegill, and crappie. Alamo Lake is approx. 38 miles north of Wenden off Hwy 60; the area attracts visitors for camping, fishing, water skiing, desert hikes, sunsets, and for some, a destination point for a quad, jeep or buggy ride. Follow road signs to Wenden on US Hwy 60 approximately 50 miles west of Wickenburg. Turn north, the paved road meanders through the desert and ends at Alamo Lake (approx. 38 miles north of Wenden). There are many places to camp. You can either tent-it or there are also hookups for RVs. Showers are available.
There were 2 tourneys this weekend. Not sure how many boats were there but it didn’t seem packed. Next weekend is the Chrisman Tournament. There are about 75 boats. I believe the majority come from
Wickenburg. It’s traditional for many of the boaters. They look forward to it each year. Many of my family members have gone up for years. Well till we chat again. Have a great weekend!!  JUNE ANTOS
