Speedy Collett and I went to Sugar to check out some spots for upcoming guide trips and we hit the “Mother Load”.  A day that will rank as one of my top 10 Fishing days.  We start the day loosing a big fish we didn’t see and then caught a 9-3 lb. At days end our best 5 were as follows: 14-8, 11-8, 9-3, 8-13, and 8-09. We could have beaten that weight had we landed some of the others we had on. All toll we broke off or hung up 8 more big fish that day. What a day.

Crankbaits were the key and the fish wanted them. DD22’s seemed to be the best and the color didn’t seem to be an issue. Points, Humps, and Drops were the pattern. More to come…….

It’s been a while since I updated the fishing on Falcon. I have been guiding several teams from Monterey Mexico in who are preparing for a tournament on Falcon this weekend. I enjoy fishing the guys from Monterey because I can practice my Spanish and they get to practice some of there English. Believe me the trade off is appreciated on both sides.

Well back to the report. I have really put in a lot of hours on Falcon so as to have enough fish to go around for all the Mexico boys and not put anyone on the same fish. The major pattern right now is fishing points. Lots and lots of points. There are fish in 4 to 14 feet on points up and down the lake. It seems like the Zapata end is holding the biggest fish on this pattern right now. Fish are hitting Dingers and Crankbaits. You need to slow down with the presentation Water temps are in the mid eighties and the fish do not seem to want to chase the bait if it is moving too fast. The fish bellow were caught early on a point we has 26+ pounds right off the bat. Big fish were up feeding and we broke off three others. Fishing on Falcon has definitely gotten better.
