Darrell Long reported 75 fish in the morning with a 10.12 lb. being the largest.

With great pleasure we get to report the following: To our good friend, who for many years has been fishing with us in Mexico and always searching for trophy bass over 10 lbs., today Baccarac was very kind. Hal Clifford, using
Carolina rigged Senkos, caught a 10.0, a 10.3 and an 11.0 fish. All eight
of Gil Wright's group caught over 100 fish per day per boat, with many fish being 4, 5 and 6 lbs., fishing watermelon jigs, medium-running crankbaits, white with a green back. Gil Wright, one of our most accomplished anglers, predicts the big bass bite is about to begin.
Feb. 23rd
We are starting to see size along with the excellent numbers. Vernon Gallo of Oklahoma found honey holes holding excellent number of 6 to 8 lb. bass. Vinnie Della Pello from New Jersey is catching numbers of good fish up to 10 lbs.
Hot baits are jerk baits, brown jigs, silver/blue rattletraps, Popping Image for topwater, and large crank baits.

The numbers are continuing to be very strong for groups at the lodge. Dennis McCarty and Steve Wik from California are having a great week so far. While fishing with guide Pedro, Steve caught an 11.0, an 11.3 and an 8.14, along with finding several nice fish in the 7 lb. range As far as baits, you need to bring brown jigs, silver blue rattletraps, super flukes in white and watermelon.

There have been good numbers of fish but still looking for the trophies. The big fish last week was 6.8 lbs.

From Ed Daniels:
Joe Goldstein and I just got back after our four-day trip to Lake Baccarac. Just like last year we had a great time and caught a lot of fish. Unlike last year, no big ones. We had a 7-8, five more over 6 pounds, and eight or ten more over 5. A party of six was there as well, and they got an 8-3, and one over 7. Other than being caught in a thunderstorm the first day the weather was great.
I just wanted to pass on some compliments. Our guide Eddie worked very hard and very smart, knows the lake like the back of his hand, and has a great sense of humor. We really enjoyed fishing with him. The BEST thing since last year is the cook, Rodrigo. He is really more of a chef than a cook. His desserts were out of this world - would you believe from scratch cheesecake with a strawberry couli? Fantastic!
This just in from Jerry Kelley of Dallas, TX.
I just wanted to share a little about my recent trip to your lodge at Baccarac. It was one of my better trips to your lodge. We didn't catch alot of really big fish, but we caught hundreds of bass in the 3 to 6lb range and missed several BIG ones and just one fish over 10lbs. I know they will start showing up in the next few days. Our last day on the lake we caught 275 bass between the two of us and the guide. I have fished all over Mexico and never found a better place to fish or lodge, your lodge is 2nd to NONE ! The staff is the best I've found anywhere. The food is excellent and where else in the world can you know with any cast you stand a chance to catch the biggest fish of your life or possibly the next world record. I keep hearing from lots of people who are afraid to go to Mexico and I just don't understand this. It might be dangerous in the border towns and I even agree to this, BUT FOLKS , I assure you, THERE IS NO DANGER IN COMING TO THIS LODGE. So I tell you this if you want to catch not only alot of fish and have a chance at the biggest fish of your life then the only choice is Lake Baccarac, and the ONLY choice for lodging is Lake Baccarac Lodge. FISH ON !!
