I returned from Lake Huites on Sunday night, and have not even finished writing my fishing report when I got a call from my lodge manager today with yet another incredible report. So, since I am getting behind the eight ball, here it goes. I went down to the lodge last week with Mark Davis, Marketing Director for Pflueger Shakespeare, a couple of his compadres, Steve Coffee and his assistant from Sportsman Warehouse, Larry Lowdowsky (spelling???) of Midwest Outdoors, and recently retired Peter from California! Congrats to Peter who sold his company three weeks ago and took the fishing trip to Mexico he has dreamed about his entire life!
The lake was around 95% pool, water was clear, and the bite was ON ON ON! A few of the big females had already spawned, but for the most part the spawn was on. Mark Davis, while goofing off for 2 1/2 days, had more than 30 over six pounds, with a big fish pushing 9. I could tell that Mark, who I am sure fishes over 250 days a year, was really enjoying himself. Guys, this man can, and will on every cast, throw a crankbait like 100 yards a cast! You may think I am kidding, but I am not. He is a crankbait nut, and it is how he usually slams those big Huites bass. For most of us we were getting our first chance to use the new Pflueger Summitt, which was an incredible piece of equipment and my favorite Pflueger yet. The first day I fished alone, and crushed around 125 bass up to seven pounds. The afternoon spinnerbait bite was nuts, and at 3:30 pm I pretty much put the spinnerbait down our of exhaustion. The second day I guided Peter from california, and get this. In his entire life of fishing he had caught two bass over six pounds. In one morning, he caught one 10.8, 9, two over 8 and one over 7. You should have heard this guy when he showed up for the shore lunch, he was going crazy! He ended up adding another 10 the next day as well.
The last two days I guided Steve from Sportsmans Warehouse and Larry with Pflueger Shakespeare. Steve had really never fished for black bass in his life, yet he still caught around sixty per day both days with a 6 1/2 pounder to boot. Larry cleaned up in the back, with a 7+ and lost a giant the last afternoon. We were out on the giant rock points cranking DD22's for a big fish, when he had his chance. Unfortunately it was not meant to be.
This was a great group that fished hard. We enjoyed a shore lunch two days, thanks to George, Freddie, and Hector for their hard work!
George called me today, and the group that came in behind us has already caught several double digit fish! Fishing is incredible now at Huites, and we don't expect anything to change through the end of the season in June. While I will not promise you a double digit bass, I can assure you it will be an incredible fishing experience, along with great food, super lodging and the most beautiful bass lake you will ever experience.
There are a few spots left in March, but not many. April is filling up but still has availability. Mark Davis is headed back down the end of March with Keith Warren Outdoors T.V. and Dan Menendez Outdoors T.V. from California, as well as several sportswriters. Huites is hot, so get in on it while the getting is great!
Please do not hesitate to give me a call if you have any questions. I live it and breath it! Brett Graham Cell 903-815-6764
