A great trip. Second best trip ever to Lake Baccarac. March of 2008 ranked as my best out of the 14 trips This last trip was phenomenal, with my 20 biggest fish weighing 184 lbs. This is my first trip to fish in December and my first time to fish for suspended bass. The service was first class and the lake is the best lake in Mexico. Thanks for a great trip.

Terry Rader and his group have come and gone and had a fantastic rattletrap bite, and Terry left the lodge stating it was one of the better trips he has had. You had to work hard for the fish but the numbers of big fish are certainly catchable right now – 10.5 being the biggest fish and countless 6 to 9 lb. fish.

12/14/2011

The trip this year was our best so far for big fish. Our group of 16 had 5 fish over 10, with a 10.92 being the largest. You had to work hard for the fish, but the average size was incredible. We quit counting the 7-9 pound fish. Hot baits were white magnum flukes, white spinnerbaits, and watermelon lizards and senkos. It is amazing fishing, when you fight a fish to the boat and say “darn it, another 7-pounder”! Thanks again for another great trip. Judd Mcpherson

big group arriving today at Bacubirito Airport leading into the full moon we should have some of the big fish show up…the weather is cooler and the water temp is now below 70..yesterday we had some great reports from the lodge with fish in the 8 to 11 pound range showing up…..still not much topwater but more topwater than last week….magic bait is the watermelon red senko and the white fluke

12/04/2011

Just got back in from the lodge. Cooler weather has set in and we had a couple of days of nice rainfall. The water temperature has dropped about ten degrees. It has affected the fishing, but only for a couple of days.

Since December 1st, we have had Gale Vaught at the lodge and he absolutely had a fantastic trip, catching countless four to seven lb. bass and a nine lb. bass reported, along with three over 10 lbs. Gale stated, you have to work hard for the catches, but for what I caught, it was worth the hard work!

Larry Beard and his son, Matt, also have been at the lodge for the last few days and they reported catching nine fish over 9 lbs., fifteen over 8 lbs., twenty over 7 lbs. Larry has been to our lodge many times, and he says this was his third-best trip. He predicts that the spring season is going to be fantastic. Also reported that you had to work had for what you caught, but the average size was incredible.

The Steve Charbonneau group had a couple of slow days until today, and it was just reported that Steve and his partner caught three over 10 lbs. at today’s morning session while fishing islands with steep drop-offs. One oz. spinner baits are working very well, along with senkos and we have caught fish from 45 feet deep to five feet deep.

Terry Rader rated it the best week he has every had on Baccarac on any other lake in Mexico. Tim Pollard rated it just an average week on Baccarac…Overall the fishing has remained about the same as the week before with plenty of mid size fish and everyday one or two 10 pounds caught

Today’s fishing was varied, with overall numbers very low, but the Greg Riggle group reported bigger fish found in 20 foot of water using big pearl swim baits, along with pearl chartreuse swim baits, 10 inch magnum Berkley worms in dark colors, 6 inch worms in watermelon, using chatter bait jigs.
No fish over 10 reported today.

We do have a feeling things will change. The full moon is coming; the big fish will show up, but Mr. Big Fish Hunter himself, with his new signature series of baits will be at the lodge next week – Gil Wright. We will not have another report until a week from Monday, but if you do need a real time report, please call your direct fishing hotline – 806-679-4433.

November 27th – two seats available out of El Paso, flying directly to the lodge.

The last three or four days, the big fish have turned off and are not biting. The graphs show them suspended off the points. There are plenty of fish to catch, however, up on the banks using white super flukes, magnum lizards, big senkos, 1/2 oz. spinner baits and medium running crank baits.
The big fish yesterday was 7.8, with boats catching anywhere from 50 to 90 fish a day.

11/1/2011

….. the fishing has gone from great numbers caught to low numbers and huge fish only to now a little slower over all….Brad Perry returned with his 5 biggest fish weighing 63 pounds ( on Oct 28th ) ..NUmbers per day ranged from 15 in one day for one boat to 73 for another boat. Senkos and flukes worked best for last three days and spinnerbiats bite did not work at all. Bigger crankbaits worked very well on the points…

It seems that the fish are starting to suspend…..

10/17/2011

Fishing has slowed from the last report, with our clients catching from 30 – 60 per boat in the 8 lb. range. Senkos and swim baits work the best for the recent group. We did have a beautiful 13.3 caught which will be posted on the website very soon, caught on a spinner bait. Spinner baits also produced many of the bigger fish for Narlin and his small group from Sinaloa de Leyva. Lake Baccarac is still at 35% and the next group will be arriving shortly.

Sorry for the length of time between reports! The last couple of months have just flown by. Over the last six weeks, we have had a hodgepodge of fishermen at the lake. As you know, we try to stay closed this time of the year because of the rains but have always tried to allow the local bass clubs to test the waters. As always, this time of year produces excellent action for the bigger fish. The days are longer and we are typically getting rain every afternoon. This year, we aren’t getting nearly the rain we need and the only negative would be is the lake is a little low for this time of the year and we need more rain or a couple of big hurricanes, which I am sure we will get. The lake has started to get muddy at the north end from the runoff but I don’t think it will have a long-lasting effect. The local Federation and co-ops have taken pride in preserving this as the best trophy lake in the world and want to extend to all of us a huge welcome and invitation to come fish the lake.
