June Big Bass Bonanza!!!!

May was a great month with a ton of big bass and happy customers and fisherman that fished the lake ,June is going to be even better with big fish gaining weight this next two months are those when I have sleepless nights just thinking of those monster bass, the ones that will be 26 in in length and 22 in in girth and weigh up to 14 pound,It's going to happen we are in route to a great summer and Fall season.
The lake has dropped a foot in the last week and it's at 286.95 the water temp is at 85 deg and as high as 89 in the shallows the big flipping bite will start soon and those logs are starting to show and the big girls have been living there for the last year just shilling and eating I don't think the new lake record will hold for too long if you want to be the lucky one to break it give me a call for some summer time Hawg fishing at it's best!!

Tracy and his best friend is fishing with me the next couple of days and we will be ripping some lips if the wind is kind to us it's going to be a slug fest....

Windy Days and high pressures!!!

Things can change in a day! after having great days with wind in the teens and good steady pressure, the blue bird sky and high pressure and winds up to 30 gust to 40mph this weekend, you can have a good day but you can not fish in summer time areas.
Last week we had great days with heavy bags and numbers shot some good videos with Mike and Jeff, but Friday it got nasty in the 30'sby afternoon and it has not quit jet,fished with AJ Jackson and Carlos Malley Saturday and did some bass fishing in the Veleno area lots of boats just trying to doge the wind so we set out to catch some Crappies and bass under the bridge it was a good  move Carlos landed a six pound bass and AJ had a four pounder on light tackle and that is like landing a ten on regular tackle this fish can pull.
Crappies in the two to three pound are now common at Falcon Lake and they are the best eating besides cat fish we landed about 19 crappies 2 cat fish and blue gill and had agreat time the biggest bass were a six a four and a eight that is not bad for tough conditions.

David and his wife Michell fished last week also and landed a bunch of big fish they had 15 five's 13 six's 11 seven's and 8 nine and a ten pound kikker i got the pictures and trying to load on computer all on jigs when things are right thing can get crazy and the fishing great!!!

Memorial Day Weekend

The fishing has been really good for the last four days catching lots of numbers of good quality fish anywhere from five in a half to eight pounds. Water temperature is up to 86 degrees, the lake levels at 286 and we're about 14 ft. low. If you're gonna fish this weekend, big heavy jigs, crank baits, and slow rolling 1 ounce to ounce and a half spinner baits. Also swimming the jigs I got some swim jigs coming that should do a number on the big falcon bass.
Wednesday, I fished with Mike Thompson and his cousin Jeff and we had a total about 85 bass all heavy fish. When the heat is on and the bass are biting, you have to keep track of your fluid intake. You must drink at least 6 bottles of water each so you won't dehydrate. You know how it is big bass will keep you're mind occupied and your hands all full of cuts this bass have sharp teeth.
Points humps and gravel mixed in with some shell beds are the best places to fish for numbers of big fish. You can also flip bushes with heavy line and jigs for some monster bass. Ricky Benevides landed in 11.13 monster bass on a rattle trap fishing off the bank. Great catch, Ricky! He's going to have it mounted. he doesn't have a clue when he will beat that it may be 30 years before he catches a bigger one than that. Most people fish a lifetime for a fish like this so I tell these young people to measure and take pictures and get a replica, but sometimes it's too late. The fish has been out of the water too long. Conservation and the sport to carry on for fishing generations.

Memorial Day Weekend is a weekend to remember our fallen heroes. I was in the army back in the 70s and I know what so many families have lost in the wars. Let's take a few moments before we go out and enjoy our freedom and think about those men and women that were there for us. See you at Falcon Lake or come to Robert's Fish N' Tackle.

Feeding frenzied !!!!

Yesterday was a great day at falcon Lake with the hot weather and the great fishing things get interesting when you are in the hunt for the big Hawgs you can stay and catch 60 or more two ponders or you can hunt for the big school of mega bass they can be in the five to seven or seven to eleven pound range it' a matter of being at the right place at the right time when the feeding frenzied starts,Fished with Doug Pierce ad his friend Freck and we got on a good school of fish in the five to eight pound class swimming and bumping bottom with the Pepper Hawg Jig and a Bass Candi Speed bug was the ticket they would load upon you rod and the game was on!!!we landed about 20 or so fish not counting the 20 or more smaller ones we got early you just leave those class fish when you are in the quest for monster BASS.

Today we are on the prowl for monster blues and maybe a giant Gator Gar.Falcon Lake is full of giant fish and it's not just a great bass lake but also a great cat and gar lake...

Summer fishing is on!!!

May 19- Summer fishing is on at Falcon.  Local fishermen as well as visitors are enjoying the great fishing going on right now.  The water level is at 288.7 ft. and the weather is getting in the high 90's some wind throughout the day and a little rain.  Reports coming in are excellent with fish numbers in the 75 to 100 per day ranging in weights between 2 to 3 lbs to up to 8 lbs. Square bill crankbaits in shallow water and football jigs are doing the job these hot days.  Fishing off the banks is awesome.  Everyday somebody is catching giant ones.  If you have not fished Falcon you are missing out make plans to come down soon for some of the best bass fishing in the world. Call us for a fishing expedition we are always ready to show you a great time!!!

Bass Clubs in town!!!

The fishing could not be better and with the great weather we been having Bass clubs from San Antonio and people from Zapata are catching some good stringers.The lake level is at 289.60 the water temp is at 80 deg.best baits{football jigs,spinner baits and crank baits} main lake points in 2 to 15 feet of water,water is murky at the north end and clear mid to south end of the lake.
Memo and Ivan fished with me yesterday we had about 65 bass and the biggest at nine pound mostly on Pepper Jigs in the one once football in penutbutter and jelly with Bass Candy Speed Bug as trailer also brush hogs in the watermelon red.

Gator Gar are staring to move in deeper water not up in numbers jet in the shallows, water needs to worm up about five more deg.Robert Lopez did some hunting with me a couple of days ago and we got two and some practice for the monsters when the time comes..

LAKE LEVEL IS ALMOST RIGHT FOR SUMMER !!!!

The Lake level is at 290.15 and some of the points and humps are about right for big time summer fishing, crank baits jigs and big plastics are good for monster bass and most big fish are starting to look healthy and gaining weight.
With the news of the mexico army cleaning out the mexico side things can be a little hesitant for people that are coming to fish Falcon Lake! like I been telling people for the last year or so that you don't need to fish Mexico waters just stay on USA side and you will be OK ,All of my guided trips for the last year have been on our waters and we catch tons of big fish and there is always boats around and also Game Wardens and Border Patrols.
It will be some time before I fish mexico and i will not take customers on the Mexico side without mexico licence like some folks are doing it's not worth the problems and the fish don't grow any bigger over there,I have been fishing here for the last 45 years and the fishing is as good or better on USA waters.

Falcon Lake can be a Bass fishing paradise and dreams come true for some lucky fisherman,Zapata is also a great place to visit we are friendly community that care and appreciate our visitors,so if you want to fish with an experienced Guide that has been around and knows the lake give me a call.Thanks and good Fishing!!!!      

May fishing at it's best!!!

May is turning out to be a good one for a lot of fisherman with the lake falling and the level today at 291.30 is still good it's about 10 ft low from full wish that put's it at a good level,let's hope the crops down stream already had a good soaking and they stop the pull down.
There is a lot of people and teenagers that are taking advantage of the good fishing, with the last 4 years of good spawns there are a ton of bass and catfish along with Crappies and bluegill.We are going back to hot days from now on and we do need the rain,If you want to catch good number of bass look for schools of them on points and along the brush they will school in the morning and again around noon time.

The wind is a factor and it can help you or it can make your day a challenge but if you play it safe you will have a basstastic day!!!!!!  here are some of some Hawgs my customers have landed this year all over 10 pound not counting the eight's and heavy nine's those numbers are way high!!.
