A few of my friends and I are in the planning stages for a trip to El Salto (or another Mexico lake)during June '08. I would appreciate any info/advice anyone would be able to give me to help us decided which lake...which lodge...even what types of baits we should be considering for a trip that time of year.

I went to Anglers Inn in June of this year. Fantastic service and some great guides.

The fish were eating crankbaits (big deep divers), T-Rig lizards and 10-12" worms, 3/4 ounce spinnerbaits, topwater (early and late) and Storm swimbaits.

Don't fish anything less than 20# mono. Make sure you bring reels spooled with 50 and 65# Power Pro also. The fish are not line shy and there are LOTS of submerged trees there. The fish are tackle destroyers there. They broke a few of my spinnerbaits and buzz baits, bent treble hooks out and anything else you can imagine.

You'll have a great time there. It will be warm and humid but the Siesta time makes it all worth it.

I sincerely appreciate the feedback.

Did you consider any other lakes or lodges before you made your choice?

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

I went with my job and they had made all the arangements prior. I was not aware that there were any other guide camps on Salto until we were out fishing the first day. I would imagine that Anglers Inn has the best one out there. The accomodations and service was great.

The 10 best Texas anglers from basschamps just completed a national tournament against the 10 best anglers from Mexico at Sugar Lake. They caught lots of bass and had a great time. This lake is just across the border in south Texas and Falcon Lake which is one of the 3 top big bass lakes in Texas in on the way. You can fish two great lakes on the same trip.
