The lodge and it’s location is truly an Oasis with the look and feel of a mini resort in Paradise. Picachos Bass Lodge, is located right at the water’s edge of the lake and near the small town of Puerta de San Marcos. Adventures: Picachos from Ron Speed on Vimeo. Pop-R’s and Super Spooks have been the big producers!ĭue to Picachos being centrally located halfway between Mazatlán and our other fishing operation on famous Lake El Salto, we are planning to offer “Combo” packages that will allow our anglers to fish both lakes during the same trip! El Salto, now known more for it’s trophy size bass, allows the angler the better chance at hooking that giant bass of a lifetime while Picachos will produce more numbers of quality size bass than the angler could ever imagine! Never before has such a unique and wonderful opportunity come along to capitalize on BOTH in the same trip! We offer the angler such an opportunity! Also, the topwater action in the morning and afternoons can be phenomenal. Picachos is very brushy and heavy with cover! This lake is a spinnerbait fisherman’s paradise! While most lures in the tackle bag will work at any given time, the lake will produce more and possibly bigger bass on spinnerbaits, lizards, Senkos, Flukes and shallow running crankbaits. What makes Picachos rank slightly ahead of those lakes is that it already has some Florida strain bass that weigh in excess of 10 pounds…and of course it’s much easier to access. Lakes such as Guerrero, Comedero and El Salto…all lakes that were famous for producing 100 – 200 bass per day in the 2 – 5 pound class. The lake is simply filthy with bass from 2 – 5 pounds! There are also MUCH larger bass in the lake with the lake record already being 12 pounds! Picachos is on the same level of other famous bass lakes when they first opened. Construction of the dam was completed in 2009.
This lake is by far the easiest and most accessible than all other lakes we’ve promoted and operated on…ever! The Picachos Dam construction started in 2006 on the Presidio River, which is the main river that feeds into Lake Picachos. The drive from the Mazatlán Airport to lake is just under 1 hour and the drive from the lake to 5-star El Cid Resorts, the first class hotel our anglers stay their last night, is only a short 45 minutes drive. Lake Picachos is located approximately 30 miles northeast of the famous beach resort city of Mazatlán. Lake Picachos is Mexico’s newest and hottest bass lake! A real bass factory!!!
