26-acre lake near Mexico. MDC-managed public fishing lake at Mexico. The lake tops out around 18 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The drawn water covers 26 acres wrapped in 1.2 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.7) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Roughly 71% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 0.4 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. It sits in Audrain County. Teal Lake sits 1 mi east — the closest neighbouring chart.
Early season largemouth bass use the shallows, holding in 2 to 10 ft. Summer is a 5 to 18 ft game here, winter a 5 to 18 ft one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 3 ft, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a texas-rigged 10" worm or a deep-diving crankbait and you're in the game.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 10 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Spinnerbait, Chatterbait |
| Summer | 5 to 18 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (8 ft) | Texas-rigged 10" worm, Deep-diving crankbait |

Early season channel catfish use the shallows, holding in 3 to 12 ft. Summer is a 5 to 18 ft game here, winter a 5 to 18 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 15 ft, prime for winter. Best bite is after dark and the evening.
