Date Fished: April 15th - 18th
Comments: Jim Weathers, Sam Timmerman, Casey Dean and I fished Huites from April 15-18. In the four days we probably caught 250-300 bass per boat ranging from little one pounders up to 7 lbs. Most of the fish were in the 2-4 pound range. No real big fish but lots of quality bass. There was usually a good morning topwater bite using chrome and black chug bugs. White and chartreuse spinner baits as well as chatterbaits also worked well early in the morning. Later in the morning as well as throughout the day the white fluke bite was really good. They also bit good on watermelon red lizards as well as baby bass and white senkos. The bigger fish were caught in the afternoon on deep diving crank baits in the citrus shad color. There were some good bass caught on swim baits as well. The chrome and blue rattle trap bite was also good in the afternoon. Make sure it is the 3/4 oz size as that was the size the fish preferred. Find shady cliffs in the afternoon and throw the trap. You'll catch bass. As expected the food was great, and the staff, especially Manuel and Tachi did a great job of taking care of us.
