About Raul Morineau and his passion for Lake Sam Rayburn
​
After becoming Mexico’s national fishing champion in 1974, Raul began setting his sights on competing in the BASS Masters circuit in the United States and with the illusion to qualify for said organizations “Classic” world championship.
​
In 1990 he finally took the step—reaching out to the BASS Masters organization based in Alabama who at the time was presided by its famous founder Ray Scott. Back then, after a registration fee of $2000 USD, he became the first international competitor in the Bass competitive arena. This was a very proud moment for him.
​
His journey had begun, now the goal was to understand how to navigate around a competitive sport that till then, had been limited to U.S. citizens. After years of trial and error, he became quote, adapted to the nuances of Pro Bass fishing in the United States.
​
This amazing journey challenged him in ways he could not anticipate. From leaning and selecting a US Bass Boat, a proper vehicle to tow it, to finding the right equipment to fish U.S. lakes across the country. Then there was learning about navigating the US highway system, destinations, Room and Boards….the list goes on.
​
At 77 years of age, he stepped down from his national tournament activity. He moved on to focus on local tournaments at the wonderful lake of Sam Rayburn and Toledo Bend in Texas. After 26 years, and over 200 tournaments in differing fishing associations like BASS MASTERS, FLW, and more, Raul had an amazing abundance of expertise and advice for others interested in participating in the Bass fishing here.
The past 15 years of his life, Raul built homes for rent, and now they are under his daughter’s management, Mariela Morineau. We have developed accommodation for foreign fishermen who are interested in competing in the US, as well as anyone else who is simply interested in enjoying Sam Rayburn and the surrounding area. Raul leaves behind an amazing legacy, and his memory is honored in every fisherman who stays in his houses.
Raul passed away in July 2018 and will be missed by many friends and family.
