Sport fishing report for 04-22-07

& the SIMMS OUTDOORS TEAM
Lake Mateos fishing in Sinaloa, Mexico rates good for largemouth bass right now. The best fishing has been taking place along breaklines that separate shallower structures from deep water. Most of these fish are positioning in moderate depths on the outside edge of standing trees and brush that is positioned along the drop off. Crankbaits, big soft plastic ribbon tail worms, jerkbaits, and jig & plastic combos are all producing fish. Topwater lures are producing fish early in the morning as well. The best presentation option by far has been fishing magnum spinnerbaits with 3 or 4 willow leaf blades. The 1.5oz and 2.5oz Baby and Original School N Shad Spinnerbaits from Simms Sport Fishing Tackle through Simms Outdoors (www.simmsoutdoors.com) have been the hottest ticket for Mateos bass. They have out produced all other lures in our boat by far, for both numbers of fish and big bass as well. The best color pattern has been chartruse shad, but natural shad and pearl white have produced well too.
Extra strong and highly sensitive technique specific Platinum, Team Series, Instinct and American Classic Freshwater Rods from All Star Graphite Rods (www.allstarrods.com) or Pflueger Trion Graphite Rods (www.pfluegerfishing.com) are best for bass and walleye fishing. The 6’ to 7’ models in light to medium heavy power ratings get the nod for most of this fishing when paired with Pflueger Supreme, Summit, Trion or Medalist Reels. Spool baitcasting equipment with a strong monofilament line with low stretch and high abrasion resistance like Supreme Super Tough in 10 to 20 pound test, or go with a tough braided line like Shakespeare Ugly Braid testing from about 30 to 65. Select a strong but limp monofilament line with low memory that is designed for long casts with reduced coiling like Supreme Super Smooth in 6 to 14 pound tests or Ugly Braid from about 20 to 40 for spinning gear (www.shakespeare-fishing.com).
Tilapia are also taken by anglers on Mateos. Top quality polarized sunglasses designed for fishing like the Master Angler Series from Flying Fisherman (www.flyingfisherman.com), and high performance floating tools designed for fishing like Advanced Lightweight Tools from X Tools (www.xtools.us) are critical items to have along on fishing trips. Real Tree Camouflage Patterns (www.realtree.com) are a vital part of our hunting success when we’re off the water.
