Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted January 8, 2011 Super User Posted January 8, 2011 Eric,Trust me in that I completely understand. I hope it works out for you to be able to go. You and me both. Right now, things look really positive. So heres to hoping it stays that way. Quote
Krzkev Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 I may be the 3rd Florida prospect. If I start now I think I can make it happen financially and to get the wife convinced. Keep in touch, That sounds like an awsome trip. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted April 12, 2011 Author Super User Posted April 12, 2011 Update. With all the killings happening in Mexico, and the epicenter being Mazatlan, I've decided to postpone this trip. Part of the trip involves a bus ride from Mazatlan to the Lodge, 2 hours inland. Lots can happen in that 2 hour time span, and if they know that it's a bus full of tourists, well, let's just say that is not a chance I am willing to take. It's really too bad this is happening right now. However it's just way too risky at this point to go. Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted April 12, 2011 Super User Posted April 12, 2011 Oddly enough I was thinking about this thread earlier today when I took my daughters to the Dentist. I got the bill and almost pooped on myself. It's probably for the best with whats happening down there right now. Safety is always high on my list when travelling in a foreign country. Hopefully all of the crap down there gets handled somehow and we're all able to re-schedule for another time, although I honestly don't see it happening anytime in the near future. Definitely a bummer. I may end up just making a trip up to Okeechobee for a few days and staying up there instead. That place has been on freakin fire lately. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted April 13, 2011 Author Super User Posted April 13, 2011 Okeechobee is on my short list as well. It's probably very similar to the Delta, minus the tide factor. Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted April 13, 2011 Super User Posted April 13, 2011 Having never fished the Delta, I can't really compare the two. It definitely is a place that everybody should try to visit some day. It is a heck a of a trip from your neck of the woods. Thats a beast of a drive if you were to haul the boat down. Quote

Hauling my boat cross country is not on my bucket list. I'd rather fly in, hire a guide and fish for a day or two, then head to the Delano or Shore Club for a few nights. Quote
Super User Chris at Tech Posted April 14, 2011 Super User Posted April 14, 2011 I like it. BR Official 2012 roadtrip to El Salto... Quote

Lol If you ever drove the boat that far, I may be forced to cut off your Tequila supply. Quote
Topwaterspook Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 It,s a real shame you fellas cancelled your El Salto trip. We go every year and haven't had a single problem. Should the interest arise once more, get in touch. We're planning a trip the 3rd week in June 2013. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted October 22, 2012 Author Super User Posted October 22, 2012 Funny I was just discussing this trip with Martha. The rest of the year looks pretty lean for us. I am concerned about safety, but it seems that all nas worked out well for those that have made the trip. Anyone interested in a trip in the coming weeks? Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted October 23, 2012 Super User Posted October 23, 2012 Not going to be enough notice for me to go as much as I want to. Have a couple of big jobs getting ready to kick off in the next few weeks. If you go, make sure you catch a few slobs! Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted October 26, 2012 Author Super User Posted October 26, 2012 I'm itching for a dedicated fishing trip. It looks like this Miami trip will be spent mostly indoors. Quote
(='_'=) Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 i may be heading for El Salto on November 16... i got a quote of $430 per person, for 2 days of fishing, 3 nights of hotel, all meals included, as well as beverages and beer... its a 15 hour drive from El Paso Tx... btw, i have a couple spots in my car if somebody is intrested...

Heck. That's far cheaper than I'd have imagined. Hope you have a good time. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted October 28, 2012 Super User Posted October 28, 2012 That is very under priced. I would suggest getting some references at that price. It costs a little more to go first class! Jeff Quote
(='_'=) Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 well, this is the webpage for the lodge: http://www.elsaltolodge.com/trophy_gallery.html im not really looking for a "first class" lodge... im even willing to sleep in a tent, i only need first class fish... i have asked and they say this Siguis is a good guide... i saw other lodges that look like 5 star hotels, but they are way too pricey, and not really what i would call a "fishing trip".... on my fishing or hunting trips, i normally camp on my tent 3 or 4 days, dont have a bathroom or shower available, cook in my little stove or on the fire, dont even have electricity.... so, a bed and a restroom are a luxury for us....

Super User 00 mod Posted October 29, 2012 Super User Posted October 29, 2012 I did not mean first class amenities. I meant trip. Pm me Jeff Quote
