About Us

Lake Baccarac was stocked in 1978 with Florida strain largemouth bass. The lake is 25 miles long and five miles wide and is 30,000 acres at full pool. The lake record and the Central American record were set in 1993 by Bruce Knutson with a 19.10 lb largemouth bass.

Until 2004 with the opening of Lake Baccarac Lodge, anglers were inconvenienced by having to spend their evenings and nights in facilities away from the water. Now, our anglers are brought directly to the water’s edge overlooking Lake Baccarac and the beautiful surrounding mountain scenery.

Our customized 18-foot Crestliner boats make fishing a breeze and are manned by Lake Baccarac’s most famous guides. Many of our guides have over twenty years of experience giving them an intimate knowledge of the lake. They await you each morning to help you realize every angler’s dream – that mammoth bass of a lifetime.

Lake Baccarac Lodge was built for one reason – to give anglers another opportunity while bass fishing in Mexico, to stay in elegant accommodations while enjoying the world’s best bass fishing. The 2021 season saw Lake Baccarac Lodge go through a complete update and renovation to make your stay that much better. If the fishing hasn’t hooked you, our chef prepared cuisine, updated rooms and lavish bathrooms, and comfortable transportation will!

Lake Baccarac is a true trophy paradise.
