![]() I fished with Mark and Dale yesterday on Falcon... We fished the Texas side of the lake and found some nice fish shallow on rocky points in 3 to 6 foot.... We caught a lot of fish on Plastics (Sinkos and Craw worms in Watermelon red majic and Pumpkin Green. The day was really nice with overcast skys most of the day.... So Spinnerbaits ruled the big fish.... We fished deep for a while off some rocky points in 20 to 30 foot (That pattern is starting to work) but our best bite was on the shallow points....Look for rocky points with scattered brush in 3 to 6 foot. If you see white birds on the bank that is a sure sign of baitfish in the area. Watch for fish chasing shad... Use a spinnerbait in the areas where the fish are chasing shad....Chartruese and White Gold Baby and Falcon Specials are working for me...
I go out again tommorow so I will give another report on our findings...... Bass are on the beds at Sugar Lake
If your not down here on Sugar you are missing out.... I took three days and spent them on a "ME" trip. One where I didn't have to worry about me catching all the big fish instead of my clients catching them.... every now and then I like to just go fishing and not be the guide.... So I got a kitchen pass and called my good friend Rodrigo Rodriquez at "Campo El Mirador" located beside the dam at Sugar and got a room for two nights.... What a great guy and great accomadations... More on Campo El Mirador later... Wednesday was a very windy day with huge waves on Sugar and fishing was tough. Only had four fish in the three hours I stayed out he lake.... Wind and Waves made it hard to fish so I came in and relaxed.... Day two: Less Winds but rain storms through the night and early morning... Sun came out about mid day and so did the fish.... Almost all my fish came from waters less than 6 foot. I even caught some in 1-1/2 foot.... Best five were around the 30 pound mark. Day Three: about the same result in fish and pounds.... Quite a few numbers of males with some nice females to boot.... NO real Giants but if your not happy catching 5 and 6 pounders then you might want to rethink fishing. Pattern: Look for any hard bottom areas... most any point {Slow Slooping} with rock or Pebbles and brush are holding spawning fish... I found 75 degree water temps in several places... hard wood trees/bushes mixed in with brush seemed to hold the fish.... Baits: I used Watermelon Red or Green Pumpkin colored Strike King "Rage Craws" Flippin the Hard woods and Bushes with heavy Braid and stiff rods... Big Fish in Shallow cover equals heavy equipment...

I have fished the past three days with some success. We are averaging around twenty pounds on our best five fish. With numbers around 20 to 30 fish. Spinnerbaits and plastic worms in 5 to 7 foot of water. The fish below was caught on a Strike King Rage Craw in watermelon red.
I had a trip today and I started with great expectations of catching some big ol Falcon Bass..... Went to my gureanteed first spot and did not get bit....Went to number 2 spot and did not get bit.....Now what .... Started hitting all my spots of the previous week and slowly started to get some bites.... Nothing great but at least a bite. A LONG day on the water today with only a 4 pound for big fish and 3 others in the 3 pound class.... Maybe twenty five fish total but not what I wanted the day to be..... No excuses but we had a great weather day early and then the north wind started....Seemed like the fish just didn't want to bite...... My daddy always would say.... Somedays its Chicken and Some days it's Feathers......Till next time......
Falcon Bass are moving into the creeks and backs of coves. I am finding water temps up to 70 degrees with warm weather in the forecast for the next week the fishing is going to bust wide open....
I had a day on Falcon with two buddies from Monterey Mexico last Week. We had a really nice bag of fish on Thursday afternoon. Our best five Fish would have weighed around 35 pounds.... All fish came off of Rocky points on Watermelon Red JoBaby Brush Jigs with Rage Craw Trailors in Watermelon Red... In the picture Arturo Saldana is posing with a nice Falcon Bass
