For some, the fishing has been incredible and for some, it’s been a little slow. Jimmy Manley just finished his trip and had a great trip with four fish over 10 lbs. caught between him and Randy Warner. The first half day, he caught a ten plus and a 9.13 on consecutive casts. Since coming to Lake Baccarac Lodge, Jimmy has logged somewhere in the neighborhood of fifty fish over ten. Larry Beard, returning, reported a 12.4 and a very good bit.
After fishing Lake El Salto for the last couple of years, Larry reported that he’s happy to be back at the best lake in Mexico. Wayne Null, a first-timer to Lake Baccarac, didn’t break the ten pound mark but caught several fish near ten pounds and he said that Lake Baccarac Lodge was the best lodge accommodations he has ever been to and Lake Baccarac the best lake ever. Tim Wallen caught a 10.7 and a 12.2 on top water; after several trips, this was his first time to break the ten pound mark. Gil Wright didn’t break ten pounds this trip but had an incredible amount of seven to nine pound fish caught on top water. The Rodney Rice group from St. Louis struggled a bit, but they all reported nice sized fish on at least one session during their trip. The fishing is very good but the bite is very weak. The fish are trying to suspend. The best pattern the past week has been Super Flukes and Wacky Style Senkos with a slow presentation.

Morning report :

The big fish are starting to show up with Russ Johnson catching one fish over 10 on a watermelon, Texas rigged Senko and Brian Harold catching one over 11 on a wacky style Senko in twenty feet of water. The Scott Sinclair group is having excellent top water action using Bill Quattrucci’s Mutant Mouse. We might all want to have one of these in our tackle box before long! All in all, fishing is rated good to excellent for the last day.

The freezing weather we experienced last week, as a side note, destroyed almost 100,000 acres of crops in the area. It might have been the best thing, however, that could have happened on Lake Baccarac. The water temperature dropped almost eight degrees and did shut the fishing off for a day or two, but the top water bite has returned and we are experiencing phenomenal numbers of fish up to seven and eight pounds. Steve Gilcrease reported a couple of twelve plus pounders on top water as well. I do think the big fish will be hard to find until the water warms back up, but I think this exciting action will continue. In the past, Baccarac bass have always liked Zara Spooks, anything with more of a stealthy presentation but Pop’Rs and Buzz Baits are definitely the top water bait of choice this week. There is a chance that the lakes in Sinaloa will be drawn down rapidly as the
farmers try to replant after this recent destruction. Only time will tell
what their plan will be. Baccarac is alive and well and we hope to see you at the lodge soon!

Sorry there haven’t been any reports for a few days. The fishing at Baccarac is very strong but as firsthand knowledge tells me, the fish being caught are much bigger three or four days before the full moon. With top water fishing starting three or days before the full moon, excellent in the afternoon session. But Sixto showed us how to catch the big ones with four over 10 lbs. caught in a two-day period leading up to the full moon. The day after the full moon, not only did the number slow, but the size decreased. German and his boat had the same results, catching the big fish on wacky style senkos, Carolina rigged. Vic Henry reported catching 70 to 80 fish a day before the full moon and his numbers dropped to half of that three days after the full moon. In the last nine days, eleven fish over 10 lbs. were caught.

Sorry no reports in a couple of days! We have been out on the water. Gil Wright and Denis Bootenhoff spent the New Year at the lodge, after arriving on 12-30-10. With New Year’s Eve’s fishing being relatively slow, New Year’s Day for Gil Wright produced excellent top water fishing, with four fish over eight, two of those them being over nine. Very good numbers for the day with basically top water only being fished. . The deep water action on January 2nd did not produce any size but was producing incredible numbers. Denis Bootenhoff reported seeing a big fish roll up on a top water lure that was the biggest fish he has ever seen from the lake and Denis has seen plenty of big fish. On a side note, Gil took back from Denis the big fish prize which Denis has held for the last two trips.
