Fishing

El Salto provides an excellent opportunity to catch numbers of quality fish and also the opportunity to catch a trophy bass. Outstanding reports have been coming back from our clients, and they would all agree that this is a great bass fishing opportunity. Over the years, thousands of bass over 10 pounds have been caught and released at this great Mexican bass lake. Every year the lake record keeps being challenged by yet another monster Bass! The lake record of 18 pounds 1 ounce was caught in 2000. Throughout the year, many trophies are caught in the 8-14 pound range!

A Typical El Salto Day

A typical day begins with a knock at the door and a warm greeting along with coffee and orange juice. You are reminded that the bass are waiting! Your breakfast will include coffee, juice, fruit, cereal, eggs and a variety of tasty meats and side dishes.

You will then be driven the short 5 minute drive in vans loaded with your equipment to the water's edge, where you will begin your lunker pursuit. We use comfortable fiberglass boats with casting decks, electronics and trolling motors. Your local guide is there to make your trip a memorable one. This will include putting you on fish, serving your soft drinks, water or beer and assisting you with getting that lunker into the boat. You will fish to about noon and come in for another delicious meal. After lunch you may choose to go right back out or to take a siesta for a period of time. You will then fish to dark or near dark and then back for sensational evening meal. Steaks, seafood, along with a variety of local Mexican dishes provide a great end to the day. After you may enjoy margaritas, beer or soft drinks while you share stories of the day with the other fishermen at the lodge. It is then time for bed as you will get up early the next day for some more great fishing.

The Lake

El Salto is a beautiful lake rimmed by mountains. It was formed by the damming of the Elota River. All types of bass fishing can be found here. Timber, chunk rock, grass, along with humps and channels provide opportunities for plastics, swim baits, spinner baits, crank baits and top waters. Senko type baits and lizards, especially in shades of watermelon seed, seem especially productive.

Before you depart check with us to see what baits are especially productive at the time of your trip. However if you have a favorite bait that you have confidence in, that may be the bait to catch your double digit trophy. Bring stiff rods along with 20 lb or better line and your stamina.

Prior to departure, get all the information that you can with regard to your airline's policy on baggage with respect to weight of the bags and length of your rods.
