bh89-2 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Posted August 12, 2009 Headed to Facon and Sugar Lake (Zapata and Mexico) next Thursday to take one of you Port Arthur boys on a real fishing trip.....yes, no stumps......lol A friend of mine from Zapata recently caught a 5-fish limit (one-day) stringer over 50lbs.

Been several months since I was last on Falcon, looking forward to the trip.
bh89-2 Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Posted August 24, 2009 Holy crap it was HOT.....LOL Not that I didn't expect it, but 110 degF is just a bit too hot for bass fishing. We decided not to hit Sugar due to border issues, but Falcon was ok. The lake is falling an inch a day and the heat made conditions a little tough. When it's like that on falcon you have to dunk pegged baits into the brush tops with 80 lb braid. We chose not to do that and picked off a few decent fish by toher eans, mainly deep crank baits in 14-22 feet of water. We did hit choke canyon one after noon and one morning, but lake is 10 feet low and fishing was not very good after a front. Caught one fish 5lbs and two smaller ones in about 3-4 hours total fishing. Falcon we had 2 over 9lbs, 3 over 8lbs, 1 over 7, and 1 over 6. A number of them between 4-5lbs and a lot of other smaller fish. Caught a bunch of catfish and one 45lb gar that was for a short time the world record bass....LOL Fished Friday morning/evening, Saturday morning and headed to choke for Saturday evening and Sunday morning. Sorry didn't take many pics, but I'll try to post a few here.
