Super User 00 mod Posted July 22, 2012 Super User Posted July 22, 2012 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! 2 Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 23, 2012 Global Moderator Posted July 23, 2012 Man my two trips south of the border weren't nearly that productive! Awesome time I'm sure! Quote

Super User deep Posted July 23, 2012 Super User Posted July 23, 2012 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. Quote
