Hey everyone! I just returned from Trophy Bass Lodge on beautiful Lake Huites and thought I had better let you know that the fishing is really heating up!

My son, Kory, and I really caught-‘em! We caught over 150 fish every day except one. On that particular day, we had over 320 fish...unbelieveable!! Over ½ of those were on buzzbaits (fun, fun!). I was amazed at the amount of 2, 3, and 4 pounders. They made up the majority of our catch and that makes for fun fishing! Our big fish for the trip was a 9 pounder. We had a dozen 7’s and 8’s and about twice as many 5’s and 6’s. These are the ones we got into the boat. Unfortunately, we lost several nice fish and one heartbreaker. We had her to the boat twice before she came unbuttoned. She was easily over 12 pounds! At least we got a good look at her. View full sizeThe baits we were using included most of the Lake Huites stand-bys: spinnerbaits (1/2 oz chartreuse/white); crankbaits (2’-12’ depths, chartreuse color combinations); plastics – Senko, lizards, baby brushhogs (wathermelon); and buzzbaits (chartreuse/white).
