This past year at El Cuchillo was the best fishing we have
ever had there and we have been going for several years. We caught
probably three times the bass over 8 pounds than we have ever caught. Lots
of 10 to almost 12 pounders were caught. It was also the best weather we
have had on these trips.
A good day would be over a hundred bass per boat, with
hopefully some big ones.
Rattletraps, spinner baits and soft plastics were the best
baits.
Everyone asks us when the best time to go is but it is
different each year. Last year, December, January and the first two weeks
of February was the best. The last two weeks of February weren't quite as
good.
We stay at the Don Carlos Lodge. This is a great place and
the food has even improved from the earlier days. We just cannot say
enough about how well we are treated there.
Chuy often has spots open if anyone is interested in
going on a guide trip with him. Tony and I will be going back in December.
Any time you want to go, either with us or to take your own
boat, give us a call or send an email and we can take care of your fishing
license, permits and lodging arrangements.
