Huites has always produced great numbers of fish but currently the numbers of 5 pounds has been straggering. The best fishing up around Narlins fish bowl near the damn. The canyons also just doing excellent as well.

Date / Time Fished: 11/13 - 11/17
Wrote...Over 300 plus fish caught in four days. Numerous fish between 5 and 6 1/2 lbs. Lake was muddy to clearing towards the end of the week. I can't imagine HOW GOOD it could have been if the water was clear. I remember Josh & I catching a 5, 5 1/2 and a 6 1/2 on consecutive casts on Friday afternoon on crank baits. Athough the top water bite was off, watching Josh catch bass one after the other on a weighted fluke was something to see. The Lodge and food was great and Narlin and the staff did all they could to make us feel welcome. My guess is with the number of fish in the 6/lb range in this lake it wouldn't surprise me if it's not the hottest bass lake in the world two years from now.

Hottest Colors: Citrus, Citruse, White, Pearl Shad
Date / Time Fished: Nov. 6-10
Wrote...Mike and Tom from Kansas City fished 11/6-11/10. This was our best trip (for bigger fish) that we've ever had at Huites. Overall, we averaged 50-125 fish/day. The lake level remained pretty stable and was higher than we've seen in a long time. The water clarity varied from almost muddy the first few days to clear the last few days. Though fish were caught on a variety of baits, 1/2 oz. Fat Free Shad crankbaits were the hottest. Top water action was fair to good up in the "church" area every morning on Ricos. In total, we caught 18 fish over 6 lbs. (verified on digital scale) between the two of us. The biggest fish weighed slightly over 8 lbs. and was caught up in the Fuerte arm. Perhaps the most encouraging aspect of our trip was the number of fish we caught in the 4-5 lb. range. The hospitality was great as usual.

Wrote...Narlin Salazar called in this report from the lodge: Fishing is very good, with boats averaging from 40 to 160 fish per day per boat. Our head guide, Manuel, is finding the greater numbers up near the church and near the trestle and bigger fish up to 9 lbs. being caught at the Aquarium. Small and medium crankbaits, along with six-inch plastics, watermelon and pumpkin seed are the best lures on the lake right now. We are getting some spinnerbait action in the canyons.

Wrote...Terry, Where to start? Great lodge, great staff, great guides, great fishing. We fished Huites in January of this year, and it was a completely different lake (up 50 to 60 feet from then). In January, we never threw anything but plastics. Why change when you catch one about every cast? This last week however, crank baits were catching the numbers (all colors, all depths). Each boat in our group caught between 80 and 150 per day. The numbers were down from earlier this year, but the quality of fish was incredible. My dad and I boated more than 20 fish over 5 pounds. He got his personal best at 9 1/2, and I matched (7 1/2) and bettered my personal best twice on this trip with an 8 and 8 1/2. The highlight of the trip was the top water bite early morning and late evening on chug bugs. One thing I will never forget is my dad landing a 6 pounder on a top water and as the guide is netting him, I hang a 6 1/2 on top too! When that slowed, Zoom, pearl colored flukes turned them back on. This is a great trip and I would recommend it to anyone. I can't wait to come back next year. -Neal

Wrote...Ken Wade's group from Houston, Texas, has reported excellent fishing at Lake Huites. Worm and crankbait bite has been excellent, the majority of fish being caught up around the church and near the trestle. All boats averaged between 80 and 100 fish per day, 4 to 6 lb. fish common, 9 lb. fish being reported, with 10 and 12 lb. fish also making a showing. Lake Huites is around 95% full and is primed for an excellent season.

Hottest Baits: crankbaits, swimbaits, carolina-rigged and spinnerbaits

Date / Time Fished: all day Sunday, August 27
Wrote...The last several days, we have been checking the fishing out at Lake Huites. It's the best fishing at Huites we have seen since summer of 2003. All of my favorite spots are now holding fish again. With the water level almost 100%, the humps and islands around Tacopaco and the long points near the dam and of course, our favorite spot, the aquarium, are loaded with fish. Fishing the deeper humps and islands with carolina-rigged worms and 4 inch swimbaits, I found hundreds of quality bass, up to 8 lbs. Two weeks ago, my brother, Narlin, caught one over 10 lbs. at Huites, but today, we only caught fish up to 8 lbs. The canyons, like in the past, are producing fish on almost every cast, but not very many big ones. The lake is primed for a great season and we will see you at the lodge.

Wrote...Great action - you can catch all of the fish you want and not leave sight of the camp! The lake is extremely healthy and the fish reflect that. We are seeing more and more 4 and 6 lb. bass. The rest of June will be great fishing. We will close the camp down within the next few days, but October, when we open for the next season, we think we are going to have the best season Huites has ever seen.

Wrote...Great numbers. Fish can be caught all over the lake right now using small and Meduim running Bill Dance Fat Free Shad crankbaits, Almost any colors ar working. Some stops are producing 20, 30 or sometimes 50 fish. Unreal action. We have been catching fish up to 9 pounds in the canyons and the inland in front of the Lodge. Topwater using Pop'r's is the best in the morning with jerk baits in the evening. With 2 fish over 11 pounds recorded over the last weeks we do hope to see more of the bigger fish over the next few weeks.

Wrote...After visiting all of the other lodges on Lake Huites, I have come to realize that Lake Huites Lodge is without a doubt the finest and most professionally run lodge on the lake. The only thing that exceeded the service and the professionalism of the staff was the fishing. We easily caught over 200 fish per day, more 3 lb. bass than I have ever caught in any trip there with crankbaits producing fish up to 6 lbs. Lake Huites is full of some of the best bass fishing anywhere in Mexico. With the combination of fishing, lodging, boats and the hospitality of Lake Huites Lodge, this was the finest trip I have made in the past 30 years of fishing lakes in Mexico.

Wrote... Up the river to the right side of the lodge they had been slaying them on top waters and flukes. That's how we started but with very little success the first half hour. I started throwing lizards and catching lots of fish immediately but mostly about a pound. After a few shallow areas we went to steep cliffs and from there on started cranking fish like crazy. First with a small Bomber model A in white that ran about 3', then a medium crank and then a deep/big model as the sun got higher and the fish moved out. I had a guy with me bass fishing for the first time and he caught 32 that morning, including a 6.9 and I caught 101. The afternoon bite in that are proved to be much slower Running up the Chinnapas in the afternoon into the second canyon found fish right off on flukes but mostly small. A few lizard fish here and there as well and then I started throwing a rattletrap as we got closer to the back of the creek which produced more and bigger fish. Almost to the back we had a 7' hump surrounded by 20' of water that produced a dozen fish 4-7 lbs. As we went back into the main river channel, we again immediately found fluke fish but no size. Smaller Senko's also produced the same results. Lizards would again catch a few fish but cranking med white/silver cranks would always produce fish quickly. The evening topwater bite was not much better than the morning with poppers but they would smack my Sammy (Jap Spook) quite regularly but I had a very low hook-up ratio. We ended up with about half of what the morning was which was par for the course with all other boats also.

Wrote...AWESOME; Food, Guides and Accomodations Excellent as always. Caught fish on every type of bait in our tackle boxes. In the 3 days fishing, our group of 6 caught 2,216 bass. The largest was 6.9 lbs by Joe Copeland; Several 4 - 6 lbs with many 2-3 lbs. My partner Carl Ulm and I caught 347 on the last day. We caught 199 of the 347, one after the other for the last 2 1/2 hours on white flukes. Lake is around 80%. We skipped last year and fished Baccarac after Huites was slow in 2003. We will be back soon and fill the Lodge. Do not even consider using any other Lodge!!!!!! Our group caught the following numbers per person for the 3 days; 447, 429, 398, 382, 322 & 238.

Wrote...Derek Krider's first day on the lake in three years - this group of six fishermen from South Carolina caught well over 600 fish yesterday, and caught more 3 to 5 lb. fish in one spot up towards Lion Cove than he caught the entire fishing trip at Lake Baccarac last season. Although the biggest fish caught was just under 7 lbs., he believes the overall quality is better than what he has seen in any of his previous trips. All baits, all colors are working at Lake Huites.

Wrote...Hello, My name is Neal Ford, and I was there for a four day fishing trip that started on January 3rd of this year. I saw our report on the website and wanted to give you a more accurate version. We had an incredible trip. It was everything it was advertised to be and more. We stayed in fish all day long. Between the two of us, in four days, we caught over 600 fish! The large was 7.5lb and next biggest was 7lb. We also caught two 6 pounders and several 4 and 5's. As for tackle, we only fished soft plastics: Zoom 10.5" worms (plum and junebug color), pearl and baby bass flukes, and red shad wave worms (off brand senko) were the hottest baits. I threw every color and got bites on all, but those mentioned above were by far the best colors for us and consistently caught the quality fish. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks, and we are already planning another trip to Huites for the end of this year. Neal Ford

Wrote...First trip ever to Mexico for bass. Incredible numbers of 150-200 fish per day. Although no "monsters", still caught personal bests of 6lb. 13oz., and 6lb. 9oz.. Smaller fish very strong and aggressive, close to shore. First class operation, great food, clean comfortable accommodations, and very friendly staff. Wouldn't hesitate going back for the "big one"!

Wrote...Fished five days. We averaged over 220 fish a day for the boat. No large fish, biggest for our trip was 6.3, but the action was non-stop all day long. Had a decent top water bite in the afternoon but I enjoy spinnerbaits and they were hitting them all day long. The fish were very aggresive with the better fish trying to rip the rod out of your hand. It looks like the females are just starting to move up to the shallows as some of the larger fish were just starting to show some bloody tails. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone.

Wrote...Neal and Hulen Ford, fishing today, caught 160 fish before they stopped fishing at lunch. Their lodge report shows they caught numerous 2 to 5 lb. fish and their big fish was 7 1/2 lbs. and reported it was the best day of fishing they have ever had for the numbers and quality of fish. Medium-running crankbaits, white-skirted spinnerbaits produced the best fish.

Wrote...Some of the best action Huites has seen in years! Bill Prendergast reported catching 80 consecutive bass in the reforma. The Rio Fuerte River, although stained, is holding the better quality bass in the 3 1/2 to 7 1/2 lb. range. Swimbaits are catching the larger fish, while 6 inch lizards Texas rigged are catching all of the numbers desired.
