269-acre reservoir near Yauco. A steep-sided reservoir in a DRNA wildlife refuge above Yauco, holding largemouth and peacock bass, tilapia, catfish and sunfish. The lake tops out around 80 ft. The depth chart comes from U.S. Geological Survey bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The drawn water covers 233 acres wrapped in 7.1 miles of bank. With a shoreline index of 3.3, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 20% of this chart. Figure 1.5 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.9 mi at the beam. Yauco County claims this one. If the bite dies, Bahía de Guayanilla is 9 mi to the southeast.
When the water first warms, largemouth bass slide up into 2 to 10 ft. By summer they slide out to 8 to 20 ft, and by winter most fish are in 15 to 35 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Secondary point: a point around 15 ft that scores prime in fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a texas-rigged 10" worm or a deep-diving crankbait rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 10 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Spinnerbait, Chatterbait |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (15 ft) | Texas-rigged 10" worm, Deep-diving crankbait |
| Fall | 4 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Secondary point (15 ft) | Squarebill crankbait (shad), Spinnerbait |
| Winter | 15 to 35 ft | midday | Break off the point (68 ft) | Blade bait, Jigging spoon |
Spring peacock bass (tucunaré) on Lago Lucchetti hold shallow, usually 2 to 12 ft. By summer they slide out to 3 to 15 ft, and by winter most fish are in 6 to 22 ft. The chart's best answer is Secondary point — point, 15 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in midday and early morning. The summer box starts with a topwater (walking bait) or a jerkbait.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Secondary point (15 ft) | Topwater prop bait, Jerkbait (fire tiger) |
| Summer | 3 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Secondary point (15 ft) | Topwater (walking bait), Jerkbait |
| Fall | 3 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Secondary point (15 ft) | Jerkbait, Swimbait |
| Winter | 6 to 22 ft | midday | Secondary point (15 ft) | Slow jerkbait, Jig |
Come spring, look for tilapia tight to the bank in 1 to 6 ft. Expect a summer slide to 2 to 10 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 18 ft. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a feeding flat holding about 2 ft of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in midday and early morning. A micro-jig near weed edges is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 6 ft | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Tiny jig + bread-ball tip, Small worm under float |
| Summer | 2 to 10 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Micro-jig near weed edges |
| Fall | 3 to 12 ft | midday | Back-bay flat (8 ft) | Small jig tipped with worm |
| Winter | 5 to 18 ft | midday | Back-bay flat (8 ft) | Slow micro-jig, warm outflows |
When the water first warms, channel catfish slide up into 3 to 12 ft. By summer they slide out to 8 to 25 ft, and by winter most fish are in 20 to 40 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow feeding flat: a feeding flat around 20 ft that scores prime in fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and the evening.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | dusk | Back-bay flat (8 ft) | |
| Summer | 8 to 25 ft | night & dusk | Back-bay flat (8 ft) | |
| Fall | 10 to 30 ft | dusk | Shallow feeding flat (20 ft) | |
| Winter | 20 to 40 ft | midday | Deep basin (78 ft) |
When the water first warms, bluegill slide up into 1 to 6 ft. Summer is a 4 to 15 ft game here, winter a 10 to 25 ft one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a feeding flat holding about 2 ft of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a small sponge spider (fly) or a micro tube jig rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 6 ft | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | 1/32 oz jig + micro plastic, Tiny popper (evenings) |
| Summer | 4 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Back-bay flat (8 ft) | Small sponge spider (fly), Micro tube jig |
| Fall | 6 to 18 ft | midday | Back-bay flat (8 ft) | Micro jig + waxworm, Small spoon tipped |
| Winter | 10 to 25 ft | midday | Shallow feeding flat (20 ft) | Tiny spoon |
Structure-wise the chart holds 7 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 78 ft.
