Report the morning of Feb 21st...are you sitting down? 19 fishermen at the Lodge this morning and 19 fish over 10 pound....ok enough said!

Summary from Feb 11th to Feb 18th

The fishing at Baccaraac has been nothing short of phenomenal.  Personally being on the water, I have witnessed without a doubt the best fishery in the world producing the world's best angling.  The number of 10+ lb. fish caught is too numerous to list for the last week.  Troy Wells from California caught 22 over 10lbs. during his stay at the lodge.  Steve Thomas of Dallas went out and caught a 10+ lb. fish every session his four days of fishing.  Gayle Vaught of Arkansas, on Valentine's Day morning, caught 19 fish over 9 lbs.  Now that's a Happy Valentine's Day!  Gary West reported his best fishing trip ever, with fish up to 12 lbs. caught on a regular basis this past week.  We have been fishing anywhere from 5 feet of water to 35 feet of water.  Trent Loukas of Amarillo, TX, landed a 10.6 lber inches off of the bank using a solid black jig with a black trailer.  1 oz. spinnerbaits bounced on the bottom in 30 feet of water produced not only numbers but quality fish.  Right now, Lake Baccarac has it all.  If you want numbers, go up the river and you will catch all the fish you want.  If you want trophies, as you can tell, they aren't too hard to find.

THe Lodge report

white jigs, swim baits, spinnerbaits, ),,,,Yumdingers

watermelon candy, Green Pumpkin, Watermelon pearl in the Yumdingers

Dec 29th to Jan 11th

Short report .....fishing is excellent with 45 guests at the Lodge since last report and 18 fish over 10 pounds caught and posted on trophy board at Lodge .

From George Shwend: The fishing was hot as hell then cooled off a little with Eddie on the last day, but others had a big day when we struggled to find fish.  Just shows you how guides have good days and bad, but not always because of the fish, but because their holes just aren’t producing.  I’m not complaining, like I said I had a great time and a huge day on Friday.  On Thursday (our first fishing day), Joe caught a 10’ 11’ fish that ended up winning our Big Fish Pool.  He also had two 8’s and plenty of chucks.  I caught fish also, but nothing to brag about.  On day 2 I had a monster day with a 9.5. 9.25, 9.0, 8.5 and 8.0 to equal a 5 fish bag of 44.25 pounds!  I also caught 3 7’s and more 6’s and 5’s then you can shake a stick at.  It was by far my best day.  I had caught the three 9’s by 8:30am. Eddie worked his ass off for us.

..Senko producing best size and numbers

From the Lodge: good fishing today the 8th and 9th with good numbers of fish being caught up the river. Some boats as little as 40 a day and others catching over 130 for the day. THe last couple of days has not produced anything over 10 pounds but lots of fish pushing the 10 pound mark, Good numberss of 5 to 6 pound bass being caught on Senkos and flukes.

THe water temp is now below 70 degrees

Jan10th from the Lodge: The cooler weather and water has slowed the big fish bite   Rick Z did manage a 10.3 and Jin Daniel caught a 11.13 but overall the bigger fish have been few. Going up the river you can catch over 150 a day but most are small. Most guests are choosing to target the bigger fish spots. Flukes, senkos and floating worms....

Jan 13th from the Lodge Joe Buker caught a 11.13 on Sunday morning but more impressive was the 25 fish between 7.2 and 9.3 he caught on Senkos/yumdingers yesterday afternoon. The area near Papachaw seems to be holding the better bigger fish right now

Topwater still reported as slow and 1 oz rattletraps starting to pick up a few fish

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.
