I was fortunate once again to spend 5 ½ days with my good friend Big Fish Jeff fishing at Lake Baccarac in Mexico. As usual, we stayed at the world famous and recently renovated, Lake Baccarac lodge. The upgraded accommodations are killer and the super friendly staff always treats us right.
On this trip the water level was pretty high causing the bass to be very scattered. The bigger girls were really hard to find.
Early morning topwater was fairly reliable most every day but as the heat of the day came on, bottom contact baits were the deal; Texas and wacky rigged plastics (lizards & stickbaits mostly). On day 3, after probing quite a bit of the main lake for giants, we found some bait & decent bass in backs of coves. We worked that hard the rest of the trip.
Plenty of 4-6 lb bass on underspins. A few over 7lbs and Big Fish Jeff took top honors once again with an 8 plus pound Mexican Fatty.

As usual, we both used MH & H Casting gear with 20 & 22lb FC line.
For topwater, Jeff used 50 lb braid & leader while I threw 22 lb mono.

So there it is.
Make enough of these trips (my 10th – Jeff’s 12th) and eventually we were bound to bump into something like this.
Despite having the fishing be a little ‘off’, we had a great time; always do. And we’re already looking forward to the next one.
