Four of us, team Hawgtech members joined the Mike Bucca bullshad group for their annual October trip to lake Baccarac. The fishing conditions down at the lake have suffered from high heat & inconsistent patterns for the last several weeks. Numbers of fish caught & quality of big fish have suffered. The group consisted of 19 guys total because one guy had a cancelled flight with no alternative. The best bite for numbers occurred in the early morning with top water action. Mid day fishing was slow then the bite improved with the evening top water fishing until dark. Best baits were top water poppers & surface walk the dog style baits along with worms & flukes. Spinner baits, rattle traps, swim baits & underspins also produced. The hot bait one day was inconsistent the next as no real pattern ever got established. We all grinded the whole five days. What made this group so special was we had guys from all over the country from west coast to east & three Canadians. Everyone shared info daily trying to help anyone that was struggling to find & catch fish. The fishing knowledge & expertise shared by the better sticks was really impressive. We all learned from the experience. The comradery among new friends was a real treat. Everyone had an outstanding trip even though the fishing was so tough.  Big fish for the week was a 11-4 with three over 10lbs & five over 9lbs for the group. 

Good Job!

Goes to show if it can be tough there it can be tough anywhere! ?

 

I feel bad for the guy who couldn’t get there
