Comments: May 24th - Overall the last few days have very tough according to Russ at the Lodge. Numbers of bass can be caught running the banks with Wacky senkos but the bigger bass near structure are not biting that well. Manual Salazar fishing the deep structure is having some luck with bigger black bass using 6 inch swimbaits. Narlin Salazar likes the river near the the ranch. Brad Sims reported low numbers but huge fish with 5 biggest largemouth weighing 49.9 pounds all caught on topwater later in the afternoon.
The Lodge reporting pretty tuff catch rates for most but some reporting very big bass. May 24th to May 29th Joe McDaniel fishing mostly deep inlets with topwater averaged two bass over 10 pounds a day and had very good numbers of fish running the banks using wacky style 5 inch senkos. Joe reports" just tons of bait fish in the lake this year but the bigger fish are still biting in the clear water"

Comments: It's been proven that before and after the full moon, the bass fishing is markedly different. To illustrate, Kent Newsome's report and Earl Rideau's reports are below. They were both at the lodge from May 3 - 10. These reports both prove that fishing before the full moon is quite productive.
Before full moon: Kent Newsome: I just wanted to give you an update of my recent trip to the fabulous lake Baccarac. In the six days that I fished with the Ed La Rose group I caught the following monster bass: Day 1 - 8.5 and 6.5; Day 2 - 8.6, 10.1, 11.8, 7.8, 8.6 and a 9.15, Day 3 - 9.10; Day 4 - 11.11, 10.15, 8.0, 7.0, 7.6 and 11.7 and lastly, Day 5 - 10.12 and a 12.8 pound monster. As you can see I had a FANTSTIC fishing experience and the guides, service and staff were all great. Special thanks to guides Sixto and Pedro. The absolute best bait for me during the trip was 5” white storm swim bait. With 1 ½ oz rattle trap running a close second. Also my ESOX rods proved to be a great match for those Lake Baccarac monsters. Thanks again for a great trip!
From Earl Rideau In my email last night I failed to mention that Tachi went out with me in the afternoon three times and he caught a 13.13 bass, 13.4, 13.2, 12.7 and a 10.3. Just thought you might want to know if you were keeping track of the number of bass over 10 pounds.
After full moon: Now we get to the full moon and afterwards. The day of the full moon, there were several big bass caught but the numbers were down.
Three days after the full moon, bass fishing had slowed quite a bit but Gil Wright, making another trip down to the lodge, broke his personal best, landing a 14.5 black bass. From May 11 to 17, a week's worth of fishing, Gil's boat caught 22 fish over 10 lbs.

Comments: May 3 - 10: Earl Rideau -While fishing with Chino for five days, he caught a total of 24 bass over 10 lbs. His biggest bass was 15.4 (30.5" X 23") Wow! His second biggest fish was 14.1 lbs. Quote: "I look forward to my next trip to the World's Greatest Big Bass Lake and there is nothing that is even a close second."
Ed La Rose group from Italy -These guys had a great trip - more 8 - 10lb. bass than they could count. All big fish were caught in deep structure using weighted flukes.
Sportswriter Matt Williams from Texas will have a great trip to write about when he gets back into the office. While fishing with Gil Wright of OKC, he broke his personal best - a 12.1 largemouth bass. The also caught an 11.8 and two fish over 9 lbs.
OTHER CATCHES OF NOTE: These guys just arrived May 8th and this is so far: Tim Boatman of Nacogdoches, TX caught a 10.5 bass. Ed Spencer pulled in a 10.10 and a 10.9. Jamie Tillman came to the lake to beat his personal best and did so on his FIRST CAST - catching an 8.8 fish.

April 11-15. Larry and I had a slow first day and a half but it picked up the last day and a half. I had an 8.8 bass and 10.2 the first morning and a 8.75, 9.6 that afternoon, Larry had several 7’s and his largest fish the first day was an 8.5. Day two I started out with another 10 even and a 9.3 kind of slowed down but we caught numerous 4 to 6’s. Larry got a 9.5. On the last day my first two bass was an 8.5 and a 10.4 we moved around after that for awhile and picked up a few more in the 4 to 6 pound range. That evening Jesus found some schooling fish and in consecutive casts I caught a 4.5, 6.5 and a 10.10 several casts later I caught a 9.5. We ended up catching 110 fish for the three days. By the way 3 of the 10’s were caught on flukes the 4th was on a Carolina rigged 8” magnum lizard. The staff did a good job as did the pilot who did a good job landing with the wind we had coming in on Saturday. Hope to do it again soon.
