West Group Returns From Huites...2nd Time Around!
Sorry for the delay on the report. We fished from 1-13 to 1-16. This year there were 6 of us plus 2 additional guests from central Illinois. As always, the food, service and accommodations were outstanding.
After last year 'that nothing on earth can compare to, we still managed to catch an absolute ton of fish!! Our largest weighed in at just shy of 10lbs but was just shy of 30" long!!! After returning home (without exact girth measurements), we found out the scale was 1.3lbs off!!! My dream fish!!!
I was ruined mainly because the first 3 fish boated on the first morning were in excess of 8lbs including the near big fish! Pictures attached.
All were caught on my Lip Ripper Jigs red head and watermelon and red skirt in 20' of water. And nothing has changed! Luis picked up a rod and had one of them!!!
Fishing was a little off the first day but still managed to have a 100+ each day. If it is any sign of things to come, everyone there caught an extreme amount of 10-13" fish. If 1/2 survive, the lake should be unbelievable in a couple of years!!
Second day was great fishing again with everyone reporting 8# fish in the morning and 4-6lb fish that were caught at a rate that you could not keep track of all of them! Lots of 7lb fish also.
It got slow in the early afternoon so Luis started his crap! Grabbed a chatter bait, ripped the skirt off. Took a skirt off of a jig and put it on and ripped the legs off of a creature bait.
This was the most awful looking thing on earth!!! He turned around and threw to the center of a cove. All that needs to be said is picture attached! Again the totals were about the same as the first day. Lots of fish on spinnerbaits!
Now comes the third day!! TOP WATER BITE IS FANTASTIC!!! 150 fish in the morning and the first 3 hours were on buzz baits and torpedos. Most all fish were 5-9 lbs!! The crankbait bight after the sun came up was great on jointed shad rapps and DT10 rapalas. The Porters killed big fish on DD22's and swim baits!
4th day was play day!! We had a ball catching fish on anything we threw! The fish came up on shad and it was game on! In my boat I can say we had in excess of 800 fish total over 4 days and from what the others say the totals were very similar!
Again, Thanks for another outstanding trip and we're already planning next year.

I know Mexico has had its challenges and many people are afraid to travel. But I can say without hesitation we were very comfortable and never felt threatened or in danger. In fact, the opposite was true. Coming back and seeing George at the airport, Louie, Freddy, Hector and the same staff at the lodge made us feel like we were among friends. 
In 4 days we caught over 400 bass. Most in the 4-6lb range and several in the 7-8 lb range. The mornings started off with several fish on a Lizard and Senko and moved to rattle traps and spinnerbaits in the afternoon. I’m looking forward to either going again this fall, if not then definitely in the spring. 
When I received this report from a client I just had to get it up on the reports page. So many times I've read reports and responses by anglers with this comment..."I don't care anything about catching numbers. I just want to catch a Big Bass"...like anything less would be a disappointment. Well check out what Bruce West had to say about his trip last week to Lake Huites and Trophy Bass Lodge.
