All you Mexico bass fishers, question

What is the best lake and the best time to go ? I went to Comedero several years ago, we caught quite a few, think we went in Jan/Feb. Anyway was maybe interested in going again this coming year, thanks for suggestions.

two years ago we fished 6 days on comedero in march..we caught 57 over 6lbs.29 over 7lbs,15 over 8lbs and 5 over 9lbs..last year we went to picachos in march and caught 905 bass in 7 days....this year we are going to spend 3 1/2 days on picachos and 3 days on comedero in march...

So out of those two lakes which one do you like best ? What about Feb. ? Who did you go with ? Ron Speed ?

went with ron speed to both lakes we liked both lakes equally well which is why this year we are going to fish both lakes....I believe we went to picachos in late Feb./early march 5 years ago and fishing was great..
if you only had time to go to one lake,I'd choose either lake one year and go to the other lake the next year...

Not trying to be a Debbie Downer but with the US State Department issuing travel warnings to just about every part of Mexico, you guys are braver than me. Having had to travel internationally for work, I usually take those travel advisories with a little bit of "a grain of salt" because I think they are trying to practice a little CYA. But this year's and last years travel advisory there is a good bit of Mexico they won't even allow State department employees travel.

I have 4 hunting trips into Mexico this year, headed to Cabo on Christmas, I have been to Mexico many times, no troubles so far. I try not to visit any Walmarts .

Buy my lunch and I'll tell you about my trip to Comodero this past Feb.

I just got back from Picachos drive through Mexico . I am also a border patrol agent in south Texas . You want the real 411 not the fake news CNN travel warnings bs inbox me and I will tell you where to go and what to do to save $$$. If you don’t then book a tour guide and Goodluck .

No kidding!

boom!

Merry Christmas Sir!

Good gracious, tell that guy to put a shirt on!!!

We just spent a week at El Salto no problems been going there since 2002 with Anglers inn my I take my wife down there on some of the trips and I have never had an issue

I don't think you can really make a wrong choice here. When we went to Salto last Feb we would run into a lot of guys just coming off trips at the airports and after talking to a lot of them Picachos seemed to be fishing best. We got hit with a cold front day before we arrived and it messed with the fish I think. We caught great numbers but nothing of size. I think the big bass for the week was just over 7lbs. We also had the nets to deal with.

I just got back from Comedero...we stayed with Ron Speed. The accommodations were OK...the food and service were excellent. The fishing was actually pretty tough due to the lake coming up 15 feet just days before we arrived. Caught a bunch of rats but larger fish were tough to come by for the entire camp. The fishing improved daily but it wasn't ever great. If I went back it would not be in December. I'm sure they are going to wreck them in Jan, Feb and March. We originally tried to book dates during those months but they fill up as much as a year out. Next year we are going to Picachos...or maybe a combo trip El Salto/Picachos.

I go every February and have done Huites,Comedero,Salto and Picachos. For numbers my best has been Picachos, size Salto.
Comedero last year, our group didn’t do well, but group after us whacked them. Going to Picachos this year. The Speed camps offer good lodging and excellent food. In and out of Mazatlan on direct flight is nice, and very good roads and safe rides to the lakes.

Still looking for a Boat Captain to follow me to Mexico's Lake Oviachic. I lost my best friend out of Odessa that provided that second boat for our road trips. Trips scheduled for Feb. 5th and March 5th.. Let me know of someone that can make the trips and might be interested in doing this on a yearly basis. Two or three trips done each Spring.

Sounds like a heck of a time, I am not looking to bring my boat to Mexico, just want to sit back and relax, have some margaritas and good food and not worry about anything but fishing.

when you get that old your give a f*** factor goes south

Rick Flair likes to bass fish?

What airlines do you fly going to Mazaltan? Are you going from DFW or Love Field?

DFW to mazatlan on American airlines...

I like the end of February. My best trips have been to Bacarrac with Terry Hollan. One trip I had nine over ten with a thirteen and two twelves. Anything with Billy Chapman Jr's name on it is first class. If you need any more sticks to go on the trip, let me know. I'm about ready.

if you want bigs, go to Baccarac. My Dad and I had a trip in late Oct.
