Returned last night. Our group, 14 total, hit it hard. 50-80 fish per boat was pretty standard each day. Average fish was 1-3 pounds. My 2 biggest were 7.4 and 10.3 (Also broke off 2 I never saw and an 8+ came off right at the boat). Biggest overall in our group was 12.1.

Each day started with a Pop R or senko bite. After the sun was up the guides would put you on a worm or lizard bite that usually rocked! He would pull you up on a spot and you might catch 8-20 fish in 35-40 minutes. The afternoons were breezy and the clouds would thicken up. The deeper soft plastic bite was giving up good number and better quality. Another good afternoon bite came on Rat L Trap a few times. Bass would be on a 5-6' flat busting tilapia and shad. 1-4 pounders just crushing the trap.

Lake El Salto bass are amazing! Their strength just blows you away. 2 pounders feel like 5 pounders. The first 6-7 pounder you stick feels like the wall hanger you dream about. It's unreal how they wear you down over three full days.

What a trip! Angler's Inn @ Lake El Salto is THE BEST! See www.anglersinn.com for more info...
