Date: November 24th, 2009
Name: Lake Baccarac Lodge
Hottest Baits: Senkos wacky style, crankbaits, ratl traps ... not much topwater yet
Hottest Colors: Watermelon
Date Fished: Nov 16th - Nov. 24th
Comments: Tom Reddington's group of 8 have come and gone for the week. Overall good bass fishing action but the big fish did not show with the exception of one bass over 9 and and couple of bass over 8. Good numbers of 1 to 3 pound bass caught up the river and not very many mid size fish showing up with the smaller largemouth bass but moving off a little deeper is producing the better quality bass.
Quick update on the bass fishing at Baccarac: An extraordinarily high number of one to three 1/2 lb. bass in the lake, quite contrary to the numbers we were catching at this time last year. Yesterday, we did manage three black bass over 11 lbs. caught on seven inch swim baits. The big ones were caught mixed in with the small fish. No magic right now, just bass on the points in 15 feet of water. That is where the huge concentration of bass are located. We are having very little topwater but the crank bait bite was very good and the plastic bite is very good.

Lake El Salto Bass Fishing Report:
Happy Veterans Day and a salute to all veterans past and present and to their families who also serve in their own way.
Once pushing winds in excess of 160 miles per hour, Hurricane Rick weakened to a tropical storm by the time it made landfall just north of Mazatlan on Oct. 21, 2009. The storm caused no damage to the Anglers Inn El Salto lodge and actually benefited the lake.
The storm was just what the doctor ordered. By the time the storm reached Lake El Salto, it brought moderate rain. This caused the lake level to rise about 5.5 feet. That’s good because the lake level was lower than normal for this time of the year. The storm improved water conditions.
As we head into mid-November, bass at Lake El Salto hold in the deep channels. Bring a bunch of plastic baits and slip sinkers for outstanding worm action. The hottest baits of the week were 8-inch Zoom or 10-inch Berkley Power Worms rigged Texas-style and Carolina-rigged lizards dragged over the bottom. These lures produced quite a few good fish with several topping 10 pounds in the past few days. Hot colors for soft plastics include watermelon and red flake, black and blue or red shad.
Scott Townley reported catching a 10.5-pound bass on a watermelon lizard dragged through a deep channel. Michael Stanford and his party also enticed a 10.5-pounder with a lizard. Rodney Cross caught a 10.25-pounder on a black and blue worm. John McCord and his party caught more than 100 bass with one 10-pounder eating a lizard.
Rogues and topwaters, such as a Heddon Zara Spook or a Lucky Craft Sammy in clear or chrome with a black top and white body, work early in the morning or in late afternoon. A Bomber Fat-Free Shad in clown, citrus shad, hot mustard or firetiger might also attract attention. As try Lobina Rio Rico poppers or Yellow Magics in white, white with sparkles or bleeding shad. Watch for schooling fish and keep a chrome and blue or bleeding shad Rat-L-Trap handy just in case something rises to the surface.
Around the weeds, fish 5- to 6-inch super flukes, senkos, Yumdingers or Bass Pro Shops Stik-O soft plastic jerkbaits in white, watermelon, red flake or black with blue flakes. Fish these temptations Texas-rigged with no weight. Light and lifelike, such floating plastic temptations pass easily over or through weeds and look like natural prey. Try a stop-sink-go retrieve. Hold the rod tip high and crank a reel slowly to skitter it over the surface vegetation in an alluring continuous motion. As it passes over a hole in the vegetation, let it sink a foot or two before pulling it back.
As always, big swimbaits might attract the bucketmouth giants. Fish 4- to 6-inch Storm WildEye Shads in shad, white with chartreuse or pearl with the tail dipped in yellow dye or a 5-inch Yum Money Minnows in hologram shad or herring colors for the giants.

Lake Baccarac Bass Fishing Report

Hottest Baits: Senkos wacky style, crankbaits ... not much topwater yet
Hottest Colors: Watermelon
Date Fished: Nov 8th - Nov. 12th
Comments: This was my sixth trip to Mexico, my second trip to Lake Baccarac, the first trip being in 2005. This experience was the best I have ever had. Forget about the lodge being beautiful and the food being great. The first two days on the lake, fishing by myself with one of the local guides, I was amazed at the numbers of bass that could be caught. I could have easily caught 100 largemouth bass on day one and day two, although most were in the 1 to 3 1/2 lb. range. I did manage to eek out a couple of 8 lb. bass. But it seemed like every point, you could have mined for fish for hours. We fished mostly the first two days 6 inch watermelon lizards, throwing close to the bank and working out to 14 feet of water. Very few casts did not produce a bass.
The third day, however, was an unbelievable day on the water. I heard the prodding and joking around the camp from Narlin Salazar directed at his brother Manuel that the recent story being written about Manuel about him being anointed as the king of big bass in Mexico So I asked Manuel if he would be my fishing partner on day three. Lucky for me, he chose to forego his obligations to the lodge and insisted that his brother Narlin go as a guide and from that point forward, brotherly joking and ribbing never stopped. After trying some early topwater with no success and Manuel joking and telling his brother that it was time for a different guide, Manuel directed the boat towards a little cove up the river.
We made several casts and caught several fish and before anybody realized it, we might have had 40 fish in the boat with the biggest bass being 4 1/2 lbs. So with my limited Spanish, I requested that Manuel find me a big fish. He responded back, I have already found the bass; I'm just waiting for you to catch them! And I explained to him, well, so far, they have only been small. Manuel said, okay, I will catch one big one for you. He made a long cast over the point out in just a little bit deeper water and I would not have believed this if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes; he brings in a 9.8 lb. bass.
From that point forward, I was amazed at the number of big fish that Manuel caught almost on demand. That day's total in our boat, myself fishing out of the front, Manuel fishing out of the back and Narlin guiding us, we caught in excess of 160 fish - 14 bass over 8 lbs., three fish over 9 lbs. and two bass over 10 lbs. Manuel Salazar is the king of big bass.

Comments: Rancho Padre area is producing unbelievable action, with a good number of bass between 4 and 8 1/2 lbs. Every week, we seem to be catching a little bit bigger black bass and we have never seen this kind of action at Lake Baccarac. Narlin Salazar did catch and 11.3 lb.'er on topwater on November 3rd.

Wassama area seems to be holding the bigger bass and we are predicting some monsters to be caught out of there very soon. Watermelon lizards, medium running crankbaits are producing the best numbers, along with 5 inch senko style watermelon june bug plastics. Nov. 5th - The big fish seem to be moving up. Narlin's boat caught 2 9's and 2 largemouth bass over 10 pounds in 15 ft of water using 7 inch watermelon senkos. Nov. 8th - Action is unreal with Nurhan Papucciyan's group of 3 reporting catching 1128 bass during there trip along with 2 over 9 and 3 over 10 along Narlin Salazar getting one on topwater that was 11.2.
