My friends and I scheduled our return trip
to Lake El Salto this past February. We fished the lake February
23rd through the 26th. The first several days of
fishing were not typical El Salto fishing days based on previous trips.
Although we were able to catch decent numbers of fish it took hard work and
down sizing of baits to entice the fish to bite. The fish we caught
weren’t the typical El Salto quality fish. Despite the tough
conditions we had two members of the group nail fish of ten pounds plus.
The fish were spawned out and easily would have gone eleven to twelve pounds in
the pre spawn condition.
My last day at the lake with our guide
Daniel we experienced the type of Bass fishing for which El Salto is
famous. My friend Mike and I in five hours caught well over 30 bass and
probably more like 40. The quality of the fish was exceptional. We
each caught an eight pound Bass and several fish in the three to four pound
class. We were fishing with five inch Senkos and Yum Dingers.
What a GREAT way to wrap up the
trip. I’ll be back.
