I feel as safe down there as I do in my own neighborhood (I've been 5X since 2005). The violence is around the border. El Salto is WAY south of the border. You fly to Mazatlan and you're completely taken care of from there! I've flown out of Lexington before on a 6AM flight and I'm fishing by 3PM... It's really hard to go wrong in June and July.

2 of my trips (Sept and Nov) have been sub par. The other 3 in June and July have been amazing! All 3 of those trips produced fish over 10 pounds.
