Comments: It seems like it happens every June. There is always a story to tell about the fishing. This year, I was lucky enough to be a part of the story. At the request of Manuel Salazar, we went to catch an early morning bite up near the cross past Rancho Padre. This time of year, Lake Baccarac is very low, probably only 30%, so getting to the cross was impossible. Manuel did remember a spot he fished about three years ago when the lake was about at this level, a hole near Cadillac Island. In my fifteen years of operating these lodges in Mexico, I have only had two days that were anywhere close to this; one day in 1997 fishing with my father-in-law at Lake Huites and another day fishing with Rene in the late spring of 2006. On June 15, 2010, I had never seen this kind of bass fishing action on any lake at any time. We pulled up to the long point that had deep channels on both sides of it, and threw crankbaits and swimbaits and never went without a strike or a bass on for four solid hours. And these were Baccarac bass, the smallest fish being 2 1/2 lbs. and we were catching fish all of the way up to 9 lbs. At one point, we estimated we caught 30 bass over 5 1/2 lbs. in thirty minutes.
All in all, I would hate to guess at the average weight that came from that hole but we caught and released over 150 bass. As we were about to tire from throwing crankbaits, we decided to take a break and Manuel tied on a silver Zara spook and by now, at almost twelve o\'clock, with the temperature near 100 degrees, and with his first cast before he could even work the spook, Manuel landed a 12.2 lb. bass. For the next 45 minutes, we threw nothing but topwater with the sun beating down on us and caught an additional 20 bass, almost all of them identical 4 pounders. I have never seen anything like it before. Hopefully, someday, I will see it again.
