Fishing Reports

white jigs, swim baits, spinnerbaits, topwater( popr’s),,,,super swimbaits 9″

We’re back on the water after Christmas break with cooler water and cooler air temperatures and clear, blue skies. Most boats are reporting over 100 fish a day per boat, fish over 11 lbs. being caught on 9 inch swimbaits.
Topwater very slow the last couple of days but some really great spinnerbait action. Ramon, Chino and Mario are having the best results as guides this week. Remember, the weather is a little cooler so bring your hooded sweatshirts.

Recent Rains has added twelve more feet of water to the great Lake Baccarac. The rise in water did slow the results down but not for long!!!

Smith/Marsh group :

We caught lots of quality fish in the 8 to 13 lb range. Even with the water level rising rapidly, we averaged 35-45 nice fish per day on various patterns/lures. We didn’t catch as many fish as we did on our previous trip, but the quality was unbelievable. Most of the fish we caught were over 5 lbs, and we had ten to twleve fish between 9.8 & 13.2 lbs. Todd Smith had three fish over 11 lbs on a popper, spinnerbait, and fluke. Mike Bain had 2 fish over 10 lbs, and Greg Marsh caught the big fish at 13.2. All eight guys in our group did very well. The service and entertainment was great, and the improvements to the lodge are beautiful. Thanks for another great time south of the border! See ya soon!

Dan Davidson group of 4: “Fishing was great” 6 over 10 pounds from my boat and could have caught 150 per boat if we fished up near the cross. We fished the same pattern everyday! We got up, we got in Miguel’s boat. Miguel was our guide. Miguel took us to the fishing spots. We threw the lure in the water. Fish jumped on lure.
Weighed fish. Jumped up and down. Threw fish back in the water. Over 100 times that day. Returned to the lodge for cocktails and repeated that pattern for three days. It was great!

Whit Holsclaw grp of 4 1 oz white jigs white blue/black grubs…first day very slow…second day the best day fishing any lake in Mexico. 16 fish between 8 and 14 pounds ..”.Do I need to say any more?”

BTW,, the fishing the third day..up the river and caught more fish than we could count.

The morning we were departing Russ asked me ” What do you think now?

I answered ” Unreal ” that’s all I could say

The Lodge will be closed from Dec 22nd to Dec 28th for the Holidays

topwater and spinnerbaits …and all lures

Just wanted to send an email thanking you for the great trip we had December 5-7 (Hess group of 6 from San Diego). We had numerous fish from 7lbs to 12lbs. The majority of our fish were caught on topwater and spinnerbaits, although we caught fish on every lure we used. The service at the lodge was second to none.

Tachi, the van driver, is an excellent ambassador for your company. He went out of his way to serve us. (P.S. he took us twice for mouth watering tacos in Los Mochis).

Lastly, my friend Dave Hokstad and I fished with Guide Ramon all three days. I have fished numerous lakes in Mexico and have had many different guides. Ramon, bar none was the best guide I have had. He knew exactly where to postion the boat and was awesome with the troll motor. I can tell you how frustrating it is to have guides who cant use a troll motor or know how to position a boat. With Ramon as the guide, our fishing time was effortless. We are already trying to plan another trip to Baccarac (Just have to tell our spouses)

Just in from John Lange
I just returned from a six day trip with my 10 year old son, Brett, to Baccarac. We had a great trip and fished with a truly excellent guide, Enrique. He was a lot of fun, was very patient with Brett, and seemed to enjoy having in the boat and teaching him a lot about Mexican Bass fishing. We averaged 45 fish per day and saw many very large fish. My biggest was 12 and Brett’s was 7. Enrique hooked an 8 for him to bring in which was pretty cool.

Gil Wright group of 6 on the 23rd caught 4 fish over over 10 pounds the first afternoon..Topwater ,,,,,The fishing has been all about location at the right time….

Randy Harris reported 6 over 10 pounds in 4 days on the water with Zara Spooks producing the bigger ones
