Fishing Reports

NA

Jim Weathers and I had a GREAT time and a AWESOME trip down to Lake Baccarac Lodge. We fished November 16th, 17th & 18th with Sixto. This was our second trip down this year (we were there in early January) and most certainly, will not be our last. The topwater fishing had slowed down due to a cold front that had come thru the weekend before and the first day was a little slow (by Baccarac standards) but we caught 50 -60 fish with most being in the 4 lb to 6 lb range. The second day was a different story, Sixto was bound and determined to put us on big fish, and he delivered in a big way. We boated 5 fish over ten pounds on that second day. A 10.4, 10.14, 11.3, 11.6 and 12.6, we also had many in the 5 to 6 pound range and one 7.13. The big fish were caught on Crank Baits and Rattle Traps. We were not able to get any big ones in the boat the last day, though we had a couple of chances. As usual Rene, Russ, Tony and the rest of the Lodge staff did everything to make our stay the most enjoyable fishing trip we’ve ever been on. Special thanks to Sixto for all his help. I’ve attached pictures of all the 10 plus pounders. Thanks again for a great trip. Casey Dean Chico, Texas

rat l traps, super spooks, chug-bugs, super flukes and swimbaits

Great trip, first day a little slow although my brother Marc Dusek caught his first double digit fish 10.11.His fishing partner Jim Jennings caught a 10.3 . Both of our guides Miguel and Pablo are highly recommended, when the big fish bite would slow down a bit they would take you to a cove where the fishing was crazy.We could catch 20-30 fish 2 to 6 lbs. per hour on topwater plugs,swimbaits,buzbaits and rat l traps.Our next 3 days were even more productive. Kelly Mayo and myself had 2 days with over 100 fish per day. In 4 days our group caught 4 fish over 10 lbs,5 over 8 lbs. and lost count of the fish 5-7 lbs but it was an amazing amount.The lodge and staff were great,our group is already counting the days until next year. Thanks again for the fishing trip of a lifetime. Mike Dusek

SWAYBACK SPOOKS, DD 22

Just got back from a four day trip at Baccarac and had a fantastic time.Took my dad along this year and on his third cast landed a 9lb 140z, a few cast last later he landed a 8lb 8 oz, I then tied on a sway back spook and got an 11.1lb. We threw top water 95% of the time for four days and landed 5 over 9lb,6 over 8lb,5over 7lb and numerous fish between 3-6lb.Manuel was our giude and he was all about big fish.He can find them and has some really good spots. I n the afternoon on one day a small Island produced an 8.8,8.0, 7.1 and double header 4.8.All on top water.He also found a cove where you could go and catch all the 2-4lb fish you wanted. These fish were busting bait fish for two days at the same time each day.We were catching fish on every cast for about 30-40 minutes and could have stayed longer but Manuel wanted to find the bigger fish wich we did.The food and service is awesome and Russ at the store is a great guy.We did cath fish on DD22’s but all of our larger fish came on topwater.I would like to thank everyone at the lodge for another great trip and hope to see everyone next year.

topwater, lizards, crankbaits, swimbaits

Another great morning at Lake Baccarac! All ten boats recorded a fish over 10 lbs., with the numbers of topwater fish better than last week. Green lizards were experimented with around the white cross and had excellent luck.

Poppers, Rattle Traps,Cranks

The best fishing trip ever. We are a husband and wife team, and we enjoyed every minute of our trip. We were with the group of 26 from Bill’s Bait and Tackle. We caught a total of 211 bass. The biggest of which was a 10.11 followed by the next biggest of 9.1 which was caught by my husband. Several of the fish were 4-8lbs. Almost all the big fish were caught on top water, poppers. What a thrill it is to see those fish explode on your popper. (Like someone threw a brick in the water.) We could have caught many more if we settled for 3-4lb. fish, but we, and our guide, Hiel?, who was an excellent guide, decided to look for bigger fish. The 10.ll was caught in the last 5 minutes of our fishing on the last fishing day. What a way to end an already spectacular fishing trip. The service is by far the best. They help you in every way they possibly can. What more can you ask for great service, great food, great people, great fishing, lots of laughs, and the list goes on. From a woman’s point of view, if you like fishing, don’t hesitate to go there. You will not regret it.
