El Salto is my dream... tell me about it when you get back... do you stay at the anglers inn?

[smljaw]

Next week will be my 4th trip to El Salto & Anglers Inn. It's absolute Disneyland for a bass fisherman. It's what we all dream about and Anglers Inn exceeds expectations every time. All the reports you read are true. This time of year, catching 60-80 per day is average and average size is 3-5 pounds. In June 2005 my top 5 went 45.6. Catching multiple bass over 7 each day is realistic... I think they say 85% of first time visitors to El Salto catch an 8+.

I will report back with full detail when I return.

smljaw if you don't mind me asking, how much do you guys have in one of these trips after it is all said and done?? Count everything, beer, food, cigars, you name it, what does it cost. This is my dream bass trip, I have to do this before I die. Hopefully I can get the wife to go therefore justifying the bills to do this, lol.

A lot of the total cost depends on the flight you book, what time of year you go, whether or not you already have a passport, etc. I ended up getting my flight this year for under $400! That's round trip from Lexington to Mazatlan with one stop in Houston. I'll fly out of Lexington in the morning and be fishing El Salto later that day. How cool is that!

Total cost ranges $2800 - $3400.

Here's some text from an email I received today. The guy who sent it just got back this past Sunday. I think he was down there for 10-14 days... Check this out...



My biggest fish went 12 1/2 pounds, with 2 over 10 and 5 over 9 and 17 over
8 pounds. Lots of small fish if you want to fish for them, we did not fish
for small fish as we wanted big fish and not #'s.



He said he caught most on 3/4 - 1 oz jigs, chatterbaits, ricos and swimbaits.

mhall, this is an awesome trip! And it's not just the fishing. The staff is amazing and they take care of you like you wouldn't believe. The food and service is top shelf! Save up some dough and go. You won't be disappointed.

Anglers Inn is an all inclusive place too is it not?

[smljaw]

Arrive in Mazatlan and it's a 90 minute drive by van to the lake/lodge. You are met by staff when you arrive with food and drink of choice. At that point it's eat, sleep and fish until you leave. The food and service is first class. The rooms and lodge grounds are clean and safe. Also, for a fee, you can get the best message you've ever had!

[littleky]

I can't wait for my trip. Leaving 6/16 and will be fishing that afternoon on El Salto. After that, 4 more full days of fishing, eating, drinking and numbers of monster bass!!!
