7 X Pb, 233 Bass In 4 Days Wow!!!! 2024

00 mod reply :

OK, I don't even know where to start......

Last Monday morning, my fishing partner, Paul, and I caught the first flight out from Memphis to Houston Texas, and then to Guadalajara, and the Culiacan Mexico. We arrived at the fishing lodge 3 hours later after a truck ride through the poor parts of Mexico, and then into the Mountains. We arrive at the lodge to a warm welcome of fresh frozen margaritas!!!!! We get settled in and start rigging rods and reels. 4 each with line in the range of 12 Yo-zuri to 17 flouro. Little did we know it would be too little, but we had backup! Most of the fish were caught in the "bushes", more like trees. The first day we broke off 4 good fish, and switched to 30lb and braid. Not many more problems, just a couple. Next time I will take only 25 lb flouro and braid. and if you know me, I hate braid! LOL We fished Tues-Friday at THE BEST BASS FISHING LAKE IN THE WORLD!!!!!!

Tuesday AM we fished from 6 am-12:45: 26 Bass (8 lb 8 oz Pauls new PB) + 1 over 7lbs, 7 over 6lbs and 10 over 5!!!!!!!! But wait, it just keeps getting better...........

Tuesday PM we fished 2pm- 8:30 : 6 bass (9lb 13oz my new PB) + Paul caught 3 over 8( 8lb 3oz, 8lb, 8lb 6 oz) and also 1 over 5lbs

Wed AM we fished 6am-12pm: 13 bass (10lb 4 oz my new PB again) + 1 over 9, 1 over 8, 1 over 7 and 1 over 5

Wed PM we fished 3pm-7:45pm: 11 bass ( 9lb 11oz Paul new PB again) + 1 over 7 and 1 over 5

Thurs AM we fished 6:15am- 1:30pm: 19 bass ( 10 lb 14 oz my new PB again) + 1 over 8, 2 over 7, 1 over 6, 1 over 5

Thurs PM we fished 4:30pm- 8:30 pm: 30 bass with only 1 over 6

Friday AM we fished 6am-12pm: 83 bass(10 lbs 9 oz Paul new PB again) + 10 lbs 2 oz(Pauls PB at the time), 1 over 8 4 over 7 10 over 6 and 10 over 5

Friday PM we fished 5pm- 8pm: 45 bass for one day total of 128!!!! 1 over 9, 1 over 8, 1 over 7, 4 over 6 and 10 over 5

83 bass over 5 lbs in 4 days, which was almost 40% of our entire catch! Absolutely UNREAL!!! Unlike anything I have ever heard of in my life!

Fish were feeding on shad, and keyed in on moving baits almost solely. Didn't fit my style of fishing, but with results like that who would complain!! Found out the time of year for jigs/t-rigs,topwater and will be making my next trip then!

BAITS OF CHOICE: 1/2 oz scrounger with rage lobsters, trick worms and swing fat impacts

BIG crank baits (dd22, cbd20, bomber fat free bd8f)

12-14 foot cranks

Worms were thumpers, anacondas and ol monsters and senkos

Caught a couple(4-5) on topwater popper and spook

Caught a couple on my hand tied jigs

Caught a couple on 1 oz spinnerbaits

Caught a couple on storm swimbaits

Let me tell you this was absolutely the best fishing trip of my life. Both of us got out of the 8 lb, into the 9's and then into the DD Club. A goal we have been trying for for our whole lives! I highly recommend this trip to any serious bass angler. It has become a staple in my travels, one that hopefully I can do every year! Our guide, Manual "lightening" Salazar was amazing! Best fisherman I have ever come in contact with. The lodge was awesome! No TV, No internet, No cell service, just you, the bugs( beetles, scorpions, grass hoppers, lizards and frogs) and the fish!

Now That's a Fishing Trip right there.

That must have been like a Dream -

The whole time I would have been asking myself - "Is this Really Happening ?"

Congratulations on All Those PB's .

And I'll ask as well - What was the name of the lake and the resort?

A-Jay

00 mod reply :

The name of the lake is "Bacuratu" in Spanish and Lake Baccarac in English. The lodge is Lake Baccarac Lodge

Long Mike reply :

There is doubt about it. I'm going to have to un-retire to scrape together the funds to make a trip of a lifetime such as yours, but I will do it, come hell or high water.

Bluebasser86 reply :

Man my two trips south of the border weren't nearly that productive! Awesome time I'm sure!

AK-Jax86 reply :

You must have found the lake pumped with steroids!!! Those are some monster fish! What a fishing trip man

garland7 reply :

all I can say is WOW!

deep reply :

Incredible Jeff! Catching big fish is never easy, and you caught them by the dozen! Great pics, great report, and awesome healthy looking fishies. May you catch a (a few) teener(s) the next time.

Siebert Outdoors reply :

WOW!!! That is unbelievable. Congrats.

J Francho reply :

Geez! Nice.

QUIENYO reply :

Looks like this is the trip to start planning for. I read that June and July offer the best fishing at Baccarac and Salto due to lowered water levels. The water is at its lowest in July since the local Sinaloa agricultural "grow season" is at its peak this time of year.

I recommend checking out the web site for Baccarac Lake. I bet some of Jeff's pictures make the fish of the month photo album.

Amazing story an pictures, thanks for sharing.

clayton86 reply :

Nice! Lake Baccarac was my pick for a honey moon trip lol but my wife still knows its where i wanna go if we ever get the chance i seen a special on the lake years ago and just thought I must go there no mater what at some point in my life.

Congrats on the many PB's

Very possible. Doesn't look like I'm going to qualify for the TOC this year. Been working instead of fishing.

00 mod reply :

I highly recommend the BR trip. Pickwick is gonna be the best road trip yet!!!!!

Have you guys thought about putting together a guide for those of us that might be considering a trip like that? I know I am interested and would appreciate any insight that could be shared.

piscicidal reply :

WTG, Jeff!

83 bass over 5lbs in four days is insane!! I've experienced a couple "feeding frenzy" situations on Okeechobee but I have never experienced a bite like you just described.

You've just added one more item to my "bucketmouth list"

ick reply :

Awsome!

Looked like you had some difficulty holding up a couple of those bad boys!

00 mod reply :

After a couple days of that, anybody would have a hard time holding them up! LOL

Jeff

hbird reply :

Planning a trip with my dad next summer for sure!
