SEASON
CLOSES WITH EXCELLENT FISHING
WE
ARE NOW BOOKING FOR FALL 08 AND SPRING 09
This past season, which officially closed June 9th, proved to
be the best yet for Trophy Bass Lodge at Lake Huites. Fishing
stayed consistent all season long, and when it was hot, it was
HOT! The numbers of bass from 8 to 12 pounds was simply staggering.
We have already started booking for next season, and some months
are filling up fast. November is already over 50% booked, so if
your looking to get it on the incredible topwater fishing, you
better act fast. David Fields, CEO of TBL, has an article scheduled
to run in Destination Fish later this summer, and when it runs
you can bet what spots remain for the fall will be gone.
We also have some discounted dates available, but these will
remain unadvertised so give me a call toay to get the information
on these awesome dates that will save you big bucks!

SLOTS
STILL AVAILABLE FOR THE SPAWN!
These are usually the first dates
to go, but there are still some great dates left
for what has proven to be the "big push".
It was this week last year when Pete Cleghorn, after
not picking up a fishing rod in 8 years, boated
a 12.4 pounder while fishing with me. See the action
for yourself on youtube!

DO
NOT USE TUNGSTEN WEIGHTS WITH BRAIDED LINE!
Over the last two years, I have been experiencing
unexplainable breakoffs with braided line. After
talking with some anglers that fished the BASS event
at Lake Falcon, we have determined that the tungsten
weights are decreasing the integrity of the braid
at the top of the hook. If you are fishing with
braid, I would recommend staying with standard lead
weights |

TRAVELING
TIPS
Here are some traveling tips from lessons learned!
Try to pack all tackle in your checked baggage.
It is becoming more difficult to get hooks through
the security checkpoints. Make sure to leave at
least 1 1/2 hours to catch your connecting flight
once you arrive from Mexico, it can be time consuming
to come through US Customs. Don't take any fluids
over 3 ounces in your carry on, and if you do pack
them in a zip lock. If you buy Tequila, Vanilla,
or other liquids to bring back form Mexico, make
sure you purchase them in the airport. Also make
sure to have the agent from the Duty Free Store
meet you after you give the ticket agent your boarding
pass. In Mexico they recheck your bags at the gate,
and will confiscate any liquids over 3 ounces. It
is ok by the airlines for you to receive the fluids
past the boarding area. |

Bassmaster
Magazine features Lake Huites in December Edition!
The word is out - Lake Huites is the hottest bass fishing
destination in the world! In the December edition, B.A.S.S.
and Bassmaster Magazine recognized Lake Huites as the
hot spot in Mexico!
By James O. Fraioli
BASSMASTER Magazine, February 2008
For more than two decades, Mexico has been a popular
destination for American bass anglers in search of schools
of trophy largemouth bass. Unfortunately, many of the
once fabled Mexican bass impoundments no longer live up
to their legendary reputations. In the last five years,
however, one lake has emerged to help restore the mystique
of south-of-the-border bass fishing once again —
Lake Huites.
Nestled deep in the foothills of the Sierra Madre's,
a one and a half hour car ride east of El Fuerte, Lake
Huites is a crown jewel for avid anglers. Constructed
for irrigation in 1991, the 30,000-acre man-made reservoir
is home to rapid growing, aggressive Florida-strain largemouth
bass. Without question, these bass have taken a liking
to the mountainous climate, long growing season and an
abundant, protein-rich diet of tilapia and shad, making
Huites an uncrowded and largely untapped resource. The
lake is loaded with ideal cover and hungry bass. This
affords anglers the opportunity to use a variety of lures
and fishing techniques to land the fish of their dreams.
When conditions are right on Huites, it's not uncommon
to hook into more than 75 bass a day, including 10-plus-pound
monsters.
Typically, early morning hours on Huites offer fantastic
topwater action. The best baits seem to be Pop-R's, Zara
Spooks and buzzbaits. As the sun rises overhead, switch
to a deeper approach using spinnerbaits, worms and crankbaits.
For some reason, Huites' largemouth, especially the lunkers,
are attracted to the Fat Free Shad crankbaits. Cast these
hard plastics toward points, canyon walls, humps and submerged
brush as you prospect for the large schools that are commonplace
on Huites. Find the right structure and you might land
30 fish averaging in excess of 3 pounds, in 35 casts.
For real trophy bass action, target the deep water using
big crankbaits, swimbaits and soft plastics.
Lake Huites Trip Check
Location: Lake Huites is located deep in the foothills
of the Sierra Madres; a one and a half hour car ride east
of El Fuerte, which is 50 miles from the international
airport in Los Mochis, Mexico.
Local Info: Lake Huites and the neighboring lodges focus
first and foremost on fishing. For those interested, the
Copper Canyon railway, connecting Los Mochis on the Gulf
of California to Chihuahua, has 39 bridges and 86 tunnels
along its 407-mile route, offering some of the most rugged
and scenic terrain in all of Mexico.

Welcome to Trophy Bass Lodge, an incredible lodge
located on the shore of Lake Huites. TBL is owned and operated by
the Trophy Team, a unique group of Americans dedicated to bringing
the finest bass fishing in Mexico to you. The members of the Trophy
Team are fishermen, businessmen, and most importantly sportsmen
who have a love and passion for Mexico and it*s incredible bass
fishing. When you book with the Trophy Team you can be confident
you are dealing with folks you can trust.

This "Gem of the South" is located just northwest of the
town of Choix, Mexico, in the beautiful State of Sinaloa. Lake Huites
has a maximum depth of 210 feet and was created by damming the Rio
Chinipa and Fuerte rivers. This Lake is 4500 feet above sea level
and at full pool in the fall, this 30,000-acre lake is 18-miles
long in one direction and 15 miles long in another. After the dam
was finished, subsequent stockings with pure Florida Strain Largemouth
Bass have created a Bassin' Factory that can produce staggering
catch rates. This beautiful Lake has over 100 miles of shoreline
to fish and has every conceivable structure a bass could want. Once
called the "Mystery Lake", this beautiful body of water
is literally loaded with Bass... GIANT BASS!
From early October until December, the bass at
Huites move up on the banks and school heavily. My best days numbers
wise have occurred during this period, with 250 fish a day possible
if you are on your game. You usually have your choice of baits during
this period, with topwaters, jerkbaits, crankbaits and plastics
all being good choices. Beginning in January the bass begin to make
the move into their pre-spawn mood, where they stack up in the coves,
pockets and secondary points in five to ten feet of water. Then
there is the classic spawn beginning in mid February, and going
on through March when the Big Girls are busting with eggs and are
willing to hit most anything that is worked slow and deliberate.
It is important to note that the spawn in Huites is not typical
of those occurring in the United States. The fish here spawn much
deeper, and it is rare to actually be able to sight fish for spawners.
This is the case at many Mexican bass lakes. During April, May and
June, the angler can expect to get into some good numbers and really
Big Fish in the post spawn, by fishing the many bald points in the
lower lake with big spinnerbaits, deep crankbaits, and swimbaits.
The swimbait technique that is now used on many lakes in Mexico
was started right here on Lake Huites, and right here at Trophy
Bass Lodge. Giant Bass in May, now that's the ticket for some heart
stopping action that most Bass fishermen are missing out on. Of
course, you can head to the canyons almost any month of the year
at Lake Huites and catch huge numbers of the smaller two to five
pounders.
Lake Huites, is a Catch and Release lake. While there is a ridiculous
amount of fish in Lake Huites, it is those double-digit fish with
superior genetics that we must preserve for the future of Lake Huites.
However, when you catch to fish of a lifetime, simply take a photo
of their trophy, weigh the fish and measure the length and girth,
then slip her back in the water to live and grow. Once you do that
I can have a replica of your fish mounted for you by some of the
best Taxidermists in the U.S.A.! They are guaranteed for life and
they look like they just swam out of the water!
No matter what time of the season you decide to fish Lake Huites,
it will be a trip you will not forget for a long, long time! Trophy
Bass Lodge Anglers enjoy fishing from sturdy American-made Boats.
Each boat is outfitted with four stroke outboards, trolling motors,
Dual batteries and Dual gas tanks. They come equipped for traditional
Bait Casting or Fly fishing and all boats have Coast Guard approved
Life jackets, Nets and an onboard ice chest full of your choice
of Beer, bottled water and Soft Drinks!
Your seasoned professional local guide sits in the rear of the boat
out of the way so that you will have plenty of room to utilize whatever
technique is your strength. These guides live right there near Trophy
Bass Lodge, and know Lake Huites like the back of their hand, and
I will assure you that they will do everything in their power to
put you on the fish. They also untangle your professional overruns,
and show you what lures and presentations work best on the day and
in the area you are fishing.
There's nothing on earth like sinking the barb into a really World
Class Bass, and Lake Huites is just the place to experience Explosive
Bassin' any time of year! When's the last time you caught a Bass
in Double Digits? Well, fishin' at Lake Huites is the chance of
a lifetime to get that wall-hanger. Contact me today to book your
trip-remember the best dates go quickly!
