Back in December, Diana and I were lucky enough to be invited down to Del Rio, Texas and take a tour of Lake Amistad.  The weather was rough and we thought we weren't going to have a chance to make it out on the lake, but at the last minute the weather cleared up enough for us to brave the beautiful waters.

Bass fishing, foreign lands, massive dams, bridges, ancient rail-roads, red-tailed hawks and cave paintings dating back as far as 10,000 years ago are just a few of the things we had the chance to see.  Ride along with us as Capt. James Burkeen, of Amistad Bassin' Adventures, takes you on a Bassin' Adventure tour of historic, beautiful Lake Amistad.

Very nice trip - not exactly your ordinary day(s) of fishing.  A lot of open territory in that country.  Years ago we slept in pickups one night to get our check out dives for a scuba course (for fresh water the diving there is great too).  It was so bizarre because several tarantulas were around our site at dawn, and they were huge.  With their vision they really couldn't hurt anything (at least that's what we thought at the time) so we just stirred them up a little and let them go on their way.

Yeah, it actually wasn't a regular fishing trip, but more a tour of the lake and the services that James Burkeen had to offer as a guide.  You have to remember that we were there in mid-December and the weather was miserable so a large part of what would be fishing time was spent exploring the historical nooks and crannies.

There was just so much great footage (wild horses, incredible ranches, etc) it was nearly impossible to fit it all into one video.
