Cal and I are back from fishing Lake Novillo, Mexico. We flew to Hermosillo with Jonah from Hi’s Tackle Box, Dean from Blackwater International, and Justin from Anglers West TV. At the Hermosillo airport, owners Bob and Bill of BMB picked us up and drove the group to their bed and breakfast that’s just 2 hours away. The house is located in San Pedro de la Cueva that’s only a slow 10 minute tow to Lake Novillo. A complete article will be posted on TackleTour.com shortly. http://www.tackletour.com
We were there for a few reasons but our main focus was on the Crankbait Rod Wars, and did we have a good crankbait bite on Lake Novillo that allowed us to truly test the gear for the Year of the Crank. Aside from crankbaits, lures such as Zoom lizards, Senkos, Powerbait 10 inch worms, paddletail swimbaits, poppers, jigs… sheez, almost everything worked out there. 
The lake has a lot of bass, Northern and Florida strains, and catching 4 to 7 pounders are very common with double digit bass lurking nearby. The bass in Lake Novillo are aggressive! They hit hard and don’t stop fighting until they are released back into the water. I lost a big one after it jumped clearly out of the water 4 times and finally spitting the hook right by the boat.
Anyways, enjoy these photos…

Whats up jip this is my first post on tackletog, but i gotta say i am a big fan of yalls site seeing as yall are basically the only reliable review site that i have been able to find. Noticing that ya’ll basically concentrate on shimano and daiwa reels (SHIMANO RULES) i would also like to see a couple of reviews for Bass Pro Shops brand reels. I believe they are truly underated. I own a Pro Qualifier 7:1 high speed reel and i would put it up against the citica or the tierra anyday of the week. The Johnny Morris spinning reel is also nice and it is an amizing value as well. Maybe they could fit in with your best value selections. just some food for thought. thanks
