Lake El Salto Report

[smljaw]

Finished up my first full day today. Had about 55 total with several in the 4 to 6 lb range. My big fish of the day was an 11.3, caught on an 8" Zoom lizard!

Whoever catches the biggest bass of the day from Anglers Inn Lodge receives a free 60 minute message... Well boys, gotta go. My message awaits...

I hope you meant massage because a 1 hr message doesn't sound like a very good reward. Catching those kind of fish, I think I would skip both and go back out on the water anyway. Enjoy the rest of your trip and catch one for us poor ******** that will be working tomorrow.

I don't think I could stand a 60 minute message from anybody. I'm just not that much of a conversationist.

You are killing me smljaw, it ain't right.........

Have a blast man, awesome on the hawg, and hopefully the massage comes from a Chica and not a Chico I'm sure you feel the same way.

Day 2 is in the books. Numbers were good today but size was down a bit for El Salto. My dad and I caught about 25 this morning. I had a 5.8 on Pop R and a 7 on a Money Minnow. I fished solo after lunch and caught 45. I had several 2 to 4 pounds, a couple of 5s and one 6. The crankbait bite was crazy! My guide pulled up on one spot and I caught 20 in about 30 minutes throwing a big Fat Free Shad in citrus color. Every person down here, if they are cranking, is throwing the citrus FF Shad.

Let me give you an idea how much these bass like citrus FF Shad... My dad's wife wasn't catching much this morning so her guide had her trolling this crakbait. She caught a 10.8. It was the only double digit caught from Angler's Inn today. Lots of #s but not a whole lot of size.

Tomorrow is my last day. My goal is to catch one more over 10. I'll report back...

For the record, the 60 minute message involved very little conversation. And my appointment was with a chica, Mark.

LittleKY, I hope you get this before you leave for Mazatlan tomorrow...

Throw black buzzbaits, Pop Rs, Sammys and Money Minnows in the AM. Poppers and Sammys in white work well. 5" Money Minnows in shad colors rigged with a 6/0 weighted hook. The 1/4 oz. 6/0 Owner Beast hook worked really well for me.

Black blue tail 10" Power Worms, 8" watermelon red Zoom lizards with 1/4 and 3/8 oz slip sinkers are the deal in the afternoon. Also, if you don't have any, do your best to take Reaction Innovation Skinny Dippers in shad colors and black blue. Rig them with a 1/4 oz slip sinker and fish them in the trees like you would a worm or lizard. Also, don't go down there without a few 3/4 oz Fat Free Shads in Citrus colors or shad colors. The guides love the Citrus! 2 ten pounders were caught on this bait while I was there... I never got on a spinnerbait bite but some guys really whacked em on spinnerbait (mostly white). Take several spinnerbaits. The fish at El Salto will literally destroy them to the point that they can't be fished with.

Make sure you take chatruce Dip-It for the lizards and Skinny Dippers.

Have fun, work hard and catch a 10+!

Good luck!

Scott,

Thanks for the report and the phone call. I didn't get the email pic of the big fish. I will pm my email address. I am packed and ready to leave tomorrow morning.
