Denis Bootenhoff also managed a 9.9, 8.8, 8.5, 7.12 and a 7.5 black bass. Gerald Hatch, while bass fishing with Manuel, caught a 9.7, and Baird Archibald's big bass of the week was an 8.4. Bill Fruit landed a 9.6. The action picked up towards the end of the week and topwater fishing was fantastic, with Tom Spanel of Amarillo catching 45 largemouth using surface plugs. Not every session was fantastic but the sessions that were good were excellent. Lake Baccarac is currently 93% full and all groups reported a great time.
Oct 21st - The reports from the Lake indicate that topwater fishing has slowed but the senko bite has been really good. The deeper fish like the 10inch power worms. Dr Bill Tyson reports boating his biggest stringer on Monday of 5 fish 41 pounds.
Oct 22nd - Not much to report as bass fishing slowed with the hot days. Most boats reporting 40 bass up to 6 pounds caught on senkos and jerkbaits. Bill Tyson's boat did not have any luck on topwater in the morning or evening.
