We left last weekend for Zapata. Let me say first we were supposed to fish with Charlie Harrleson...but we got a call on the Tues. before we left tellingus he quit guiding! But, he did hook us up with Rob Mcfarlane and he is a great guide. We also were supposed ti fish with Jim Edwards another top notcher.

We go to town on Saturday. We were scheduled to start fishing on Monday, but seein the water and all the bass boats were too much. Sunday we went looking for someone to take us out. We got Speedy Collete and had an awsome day. We had a cpl 6's and lost count of the 3-5 lbers.  Probably around 30 bass. The other boat had a less than steller day. Speedy found some guy in is campgroud to take them out, and he wasn't on any fish.

On Monday we fished with Rob. We had a 6's and again lost count of the smaller fish. Guessing around 30 bass. The other boat with Jim did well too the had an 8+ and a 7+. They got about 30-40 bass.

Then the crappy weather started on Tuesday (as if you didn't watch the news). We went out around 1030 in 30 mph winds. Jim had 1 spot for us out of the wind. He said we'll get em or not. Well after we got soaked on the ride...we got em! We had a 9+ a cpl 6+ and i lost count of the 3,4,5's. We musta had 50+ fish and all good ones. The other boat got about 10 fish...with a big 5 and some other 3's and 4's. The water still stayed up near 70 that day.

Wednesday was the worst day of fishing I ever had. We got 4 fish although they did way about 18lbs. The other boat only got 2 small fish. The water temp was 58...yes 12 degrees over night.

We canclled on Thursday and headed back to San Antonio. Where we were lucky to get out on Friday and.

And to top it all off I met Denny Brauer in the SA airport and we chattted and he signed my hat!

I know it was not a Falcon trip you here about in size and numbers...but still great for us. I got my PB a 6.6lber. And held a 9-13. Zapata was way better than we expected...recommend the Best Western. Free hot b-fast and a happy hour from 5-7 with free beer and nachos! Ver clean rooms and freshened up everyday by a very cute Latina... .

Fished Mexico 3 of the 4 days without any questions...felt safe, and only saw a few gill netters. Fished the Tiger on the cold windy day.

Already planning on going back.

Special thanx to Jim and Tom @ FLT for letting us drop off and send out our tackle from their shop. And would without out a doubt recomment Rob and Jim again. We don't blame them for the weather.

You can never control the weather but other than that it sounds like you had a great trip. I am too much of a chicken to go to the border -- I would love to though.

Sounds like you guys had a great trip, congrats on the PB!!

So, where's the pictures?
