When tattoo artist Arnulfo Reyes isn’t sketching out bold designs or filling his studio with the buzz of a needle, there’s a good chance you’ll find him somewhere very different—on the bow of a bass boat, ripping a jerkbait across Aguamilpa with a grin on his face.

Arnulfo is a familiar face around here. A local from the region and a regular at Coras Lodge, he visits the lake often—sometimes several times a month—drawn in by the peace, the pull of the fish, and the sense of home he feels with every cast.

Known in his hometown for his striking tattoo work, Arnulfo wears his identity proudly. A recent tattoo of the country of Mexico speaks to his pride in his roots and his joy in celebrating life, fishing, and art—wherever those lines intersect.

On the lake, he’s just another angler, chasing the bite with passion and patience. His go-to lure? A jerkbait, hands down. When the bass are sitting off points or cruising along structure, he’s the guy who can coax a reaction bite when others can’t.

Aguamilpa Regular. Lodge Family. Artist at Heart.

We’re lucky to have people like Arnulfo in our orbit—anglers who love the lake not just for what it gives, but for how it feels. His energy, creativity, and deep connection to this part of Mexico make him part of the Coras story.

Next time you’re here, keep an eye out. You might spot him in the dining area, trading stories over coffee. Or maybe on the water, laughing as he sets the hook—again.
