(='_'=) Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 hey. we are planing a trip to El Salto, in Mexico, next month. as many of you may know, this is a lake known for its big (10+ lb) bass... i also know some people in here have made several trips to El Salto before... so, besides 50 lb braid, what other insight could you give me?? specially regarding lures, as i have never fished a lake with these big fish.... i went to Picachos once a couple years ago, and we caught a lot of fish with 5" and 6" senkos, lizards, and flukes... but then i used what i normally use here, and the biggest fish we got was about 6 lb.... now, going for the big fish, what do you recommend?? i have heard 7" flukes, or big senkos or lizzards.... we live in Mexico and we are towing our boats, so we cant ask our guide what to bring... thanx! 1 Quote

(='_'=) Posted April 21, 2016 Author Posted April 21, 2016 thanx!! i had just ordered some 5 and 7" flukes in pearl, 6 and 8" senkos in watermelon and other greenish colors, and some 6" lizzards. so its more or less what you mention. i also ordered scroungers, i have heard they work great on El Salto with a 7" white fluke, so ill have to try them. We are heading there on May 12, so we are fishing May 13-15. ill report in here as soon as we come back. 1 Quote
Topwaterspook Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 Last trip down there, I caught my biggest fish by dropping heavy jigs with rage trailers down the face of vertical bluffs. 2 Quote

(='_'=) Posted May 9, 2016 Author Posted May 9, 2016 2 hours ago, Slade House said: dude lake picahcos , go its an hour away i was there a couple years ago, it was great!! we got 250+ fish in 2 1/2 days, but the biggest one was about 7#, most of them were in the 3-5# range... still great, but now we are going to El Salto for some big ones.... a friend was there this weekend, he says the biggest one was 9#, a bit shy of the DD mark, but he claims most of them were in the 5-6# range.... so we will see, we are planning on fishing 3 days, so if the first 2 days are not good enoug we can always drive to Picachos again, i wouldnt mind going back there!! so, we are leaving for El Salto this thursday, we plan on fishing friday to sunday, and drive back home on monday.... ill report back on tuesday!!
