ADDITIONAL INFO:
We ended the season with a bang!   Our 5 fish limit was broken by Joe Bullock who came in with an amazing 66.6 pounds of fish. All of the fish came on black and blue jigs either in the trees or off bluffs underwater. Joe fished for 6 days and had a 10 fish limit of 118 pounds. His top 5 bass weighed 14.7, 14.3, 13.3, 13.0 & 11.3 pounds. Joe’s fishing partner, Jim Tonkin landed 3-10+ pound bass and 2-8+ pounders for a total limit of 48.5 pounds. The fishing has been back to normal Salto fishing. In June, most of the fishing was done in 12-20 feet of water either working jigs, plastics worms & lizards or cranks. Fishing with green pumpkin or watermelon lizards off the bluffs was producing a lot of numbers. We had some customers coming in with 80+ days fishing this way. Senkos started to make a comeback up tight to the banks early in the mornings. One has to be patient while fishing these to give the bait time to sink and working it very slow. The crankbait bite was there during certain hours of the day as well as the swimbait bite. Rattletraps and Ambush Stealth’s have been producing some quality fish as well as numbers. El Salto’s season ended extremely well. Although we had our slow days we have also experienced some world class fishing days. One of the main problems this season was the amount of bait fish in the lake. Talipia and threadfin shad were busting everywhere. This is just allowing the big bass to get even bigger. With nobody fishing during these summer months, the bass will not see a lure in months. We should be back to 80+ days in October. The level of the lake was another major issue. The lake has never dropped down so quickly which freaked the fish out. The mismanagement of the water level led to more offshore suspended bass than ever before, which made fishing challenging at times. Still, a large portion of our customers managed to catch their largest bass of their lives and went home satisfied. New for next season is Anglers Inn University. This is a one-in-a-kind learning experience. Check out our website for more information.
