Over the last two weeks, fishing has ranged from fantastic to just average, with fish actually being seen on the banks swimming around and spawning. The monster fish being seen, unfortunately, are not biting as they should or as we would want them to. Mike McVay and Bill Hicks group flying private out of Hobbs, New Mexico were catching up to 100 fish a day, with around a half a dozen over 10 lbs. caught within their group. The big group out of Memphis, Jeff Howell, had below-average catches, with the big fish bite slowing way down. Jeff and his core group of four did manage a fish over 10 and some nice ones over 9, fishing senkos and flukes. Sorry for the sporadic reporting – we have been in the air flying back and forth. If you ever wanting the real updated reports, just call our cell phone – 806-679-4433.
Also, we have one open seat departing Aril 22, returning April 28. Call for details. Don’t pass this deal up! Fishing should be prime.

Chester Graham group had another fabulous trip – with every boat the first day catching around fifty fish; unfortunately most of them were small. Day two, fishing close to the bank, they started seeing a lot bigger fish and by day three, 90% of the bass were females being caught one to two feet from the bank in less than two feet of water and boats were catching between 80 and 100 fish a day. Chester once again won the big bass pot and also had 25 fish over 6 lbs. Big Senkos, swimming flukes and very light scroungers were the ticket.

Most big fish came on 4′-6′ depth, suspending Jerkbaits in silver/black back and pearl with chartreuse. I ripped my jerkbait pretty hard in one to three jerk series. It seemed to make the fish react to the bait and cause them to compete with each other to hit it. Many times I saw multiple, large fish swirling under my lure near the boat.
One small submerged island in Rancho Padre produced a 9, 8 , 7 and a 6 with one giant that came off under off the boat. All were on jerk baits.
We lost 5 jerk bait that felt like very big and had hooks straightened as well as split rings broken. Replace your stock hooks people!
We also had some good luck on day 1 with chartreuse chatter baits tipped with a magnum watermelon lizard.
The 3/4 ounce scrounger jig tipped with a white fluke and dyed tail was good early in the day but tapered off pretty quickly.
Top water early and late produced a few fish but most bites were big fish. Most fish just swiped at the top water lures but it sure was fun to watch.

This boat fished primarily lizards, senkos, and jigs tipped with chompers brand twin tailed, skirted grubs. Colors were mainly watermelon and green with dip n glow dyed tails in orange or yellow. This boat fished top water chug bugs and pop r’s with some good luck first and last thing each day.

This boat fished primarily watermelon lizards, wacky rigged senkos in watermelon and some poppers/chug bugs on top first and last thing each day.

(132) total for 3 days
These guys caught the best numbers of fish solely on wacky rigged, lightly weighted Senkos in green and watermelon with both ends dipped in yellow or orange dip n glow lure dye. They said the fish hit most every color they tried. They used nothing but lightly weighted Senkos.
I cannot argue with the statement that everything you’ve read about Baccarac is absolutely, 100% true. We have been to two other lakes (El Salto and Comedero) on three trips and although we caught higher numbers elsewhere, the average fish from Baccarac was much bigger at between 3 and 7 pounds.
The lodge is top quality and is staffed with a crew of people that do everything they can to ensure that you have the best time possible. The rooms were great and had a more than adequate supply of hot water, quality air conditioning systems and roomy bathrooms. The view from the lodge has to experienced firsthand to be fully appreciated. The food was also phenomenal. I came back heavier than I arrived.
As a veteran of Mexican bass fishing I can honestly state that anyone looking to make the trip south of the border should look no further than Lake Baccarac and Lake Baccarac Lodge. The thing I love the most about this lake is that you KNOW that you could catch the biggest fish of your life on the next cast. You will not experience better fishing, service or scenery anywhere else. Contact Terry or Cheryl Hollan with Reel Mexican Adventures as soon as you can and get your butt down there!
