Today we’re exploring a brand new lake! We caught a flight down to Lake Baccarac in Sinaloa, Mexico. The lake is famous for big bass but virtually everyone fishes with a guide. We got the chance to break the lake down ourselves without any outside help… the only catch is the electronics on the boat didn’t work! Come along as we explore Mexico and catch a bunch of big bass!
The key to any new fishery is to cover water, targeting aggressive fish. If you can find an aggressive bite the learning curve becomes much shorter. Questions about what stage the fish are in, what they’re eating, and what sort of structure they’re using are answered quickly if you’re getting consistent bites. We used a combination of baits with a large presence (swimbaits and topwater) and fast moving baits (squarebills and A-rigs) to catch fish right away.
Below is a break down of the baits we used in the video, shown in order of appearance. Lake Baccarac is an amazing lake and we are very grateful to Pro Bass Adventures – Lake Baccarac for lending us a bass boat to go explore the lake on our own.

I've been to lake baccarac y'all will catch lunker's every day and the fish fight extremely hard once they get to the boat I caught an 8 pounder on a popper first cast of the day im going back when I graduate highschool it's fun isn't Matt and tim
I know this is an older video. But you guys mind making a video on the gear you bring to travel to places like Mexico. Ie rod tubes, what rods and reels, how much tackle. Any travel tips. Thanks!
Those nets aren't just for tilapia… There are miles of those nets on Falcon Lake here on the Texas border and not just on the Mexican side. I have seen tons of bass in those nets and watched a Mexican netter pull a no kidding 12 lb bass from his net. It went right in the bottom of the boat with the tilapia, catfish, crappie, white bass, bluegill…. Those nets must not hurt the bass too much though.
Why would anyone dislike?
This is edited really nicely, held my attention the whole time much better than previous eps, nice job and nice fish!
I'll be fishing there in 4 weeks
I’ve been dreaming about this leg for over 30 years! I hope that one day before I die I can go! Bucket list for sure
How about next year doing the Endless Tactical Bassin' Summer by traveling to avoid winter altogether. And maybe let Timmy do the driving.
You never hear any mention of giant bass in this "build the wall" conversation. Seems fairly important to me.
Never hear you guys talk about 6th sense baits…? Are you familiar with the brand and if so what are your thoughts? Great videos guys! Learned a ton from this channel. Keep up the good work
6:18 almost whipped in the face!
I have read so much about that lake and want to make a trip sometime in my life super awesome huge large mouth!!!!
so badass!
Awesome bass bro
Thanks for coming down and fishing with us Matt & Tim! Looking forward to the rest of the videos from Lake Baccarac. Maybe we can do it again at our El Salto operation. Thanks again and talk to you soon…Doug www.probassadventures.com
Hats off to you boys. Thanks for another excellent vid!
I live in Texas and this winter season I've seen and caught some of the biggest bass than any other time double digits ,hogs its motivated me to fish more than the spring or summer
More videos like this please!
New fishing channel!
First video dropping this week
1. subscribe
2. like this comment
3. I'll subscribe right back
Thank you in advance!
Yes has a song called "Fish" that would go well with your video
Get Ricer2sea to make the S-Waver in tilapia pattern. That way next year you can go down for pre-spawn and get BIGGER. Considering how many baits they have sold from your vids, they should do it for you.
When I fish in Mexico, I put hot sauce on my lure. Works amazing.
How did people ever fish without electronics? Lol. My PBA was out of my old 11 foot Klamath Vhull without a motor or electronics.
Tim about took Matt’s head off on the hook set. Heads Up!
nice video, great seeing other creators making good videos.
With the Clint Eastwood spaghetti western fist full of dollars music though… What els you supposed to edit with when u in Mexico??? Just glad y'all came back in one piece… Ijs.
Really thought The Duke was about to make a guest appearance with all this Country Western music playin in the background!
Hey Tim & Matt – At 1:41 in the video, I see you have some sort of label reading, "40 lb B". This is the smartest thing I've seen in a while. I'm just wondering how well the label stays on, and what type of label maker you use with the black background and white lettering? Great video as always!! Thanks guys.
Another great vid boys!! I'm diggin the wild west track while sticking fish.
Nice fish guys keep it up
I'm looking forward to seeing part 2,enjoy your time while your there an d be safe,God Bless and stick another monster or 10 of them lol
Good Job guys!! KickinBass!! LOL
Fuck man last time I was out there the cartel were battling a rival cartel…. glad you guys had fun watch out for those crazy fuckers!!!
when you breakdown a new body of water do you seek out local advice? If so, what sorts of info do you ask or do you go in without any preconceived notions?
Were those googan’s tickets?
Awesome vid. Nice to live vicariously through you guys when it's 13 degrees outside.
I friggin love seeing fellas from the states come down and fish our waters (of course also your waters) and put a beatin' on the fat girls that lurk our waters. Thanks for coming out and thanks for breaking it down with all of us on youtube. FOR SURE the BEST mexico video I have seen on youtube.
So awesome!!!!
Great stuff guys! Thanks for teaching so much, it helps a ton. Video idea: I have been a bank fisherman all of my life but I recently bought my first boat, just an aluminum v-hull. Ive got the basics and a trolling motor, but no graphs. What would you guys do in my situation? In order to become a better fisherman should I start by learning one bait at a time? And how do I learn to pick out good cover/structure on my lakes, do I just throw a jig/squarebill? What should my mindset be? Thanks boys, I really appreciate your time spent and experience shared!
