Lake El Salto

Been two times. Last time was several years ago too. Caught an 11.6 and a 10.5 the last trip. Also caught a couple of 8s. One of the guys that went with us caught a 12.7. All four of us caught at least one over 8. Lost count of the 7 pounders. Used mainly white super flukes dipped in garlic chartreuse dip not weighted. Went both times in February March in the middle of their first spawn and a full moon. Had a blast.

Are these guided trips, or do they rent you a boat and send you out?

What does something like this cost?

I’ve been once and was a blast. No monsters for me but the group did catch some 10s. Same group went week before thanksgiving this year instead of the week after as normal. It was the first horrible trip I’ve ever heard of and they been going for @20 years. Guess they should have gone on there normal week. I would go back in a second.
Best story I have is catching 7-8pounders in an hour off a bridge in 20- 25’ water. Was fishing 8 pound fluorocarbon on big bills and burning to get it down. It would hit the bridge and I figured by the yellow line in middle of road BAM another one. It was awesome. I remember I was wore out from burning it so fast to hit the bridge and was done in an hour. I turned around to my dad and said you ready, he gave me that look of hell no but said “I’ll take another beer this is vacation not work.” Mission accomplished. That was 15 years ago.

Yeah its pretty salty

Went with my dad in April of 2010. We each caught 2 fish over 10 with dad catching a 12. Countless 5-8 pound fish. Incredible experience, we stayed at Anglers Inn it is top notch. Cannot wait to go again.
