If big bass is your passion, then Angler's Inn on Lake El Salto is the place to be.  This 23,000 acre and 18 mile impoundment is loaded with Florida strain bass.  El Salto is located 50 miles from the beach resort city of Mazatlan.  Mazatlan is laid back with beautiful beaches, excellent restaurants, and entertaining night life.  Angler Expeditions can recommend a list of great spots.  I always spend a couple of days there.  It is one of my favorite places to hang out when I am not casting.  They also have some of the best offshore fishing in the pacific.  It is the best of both worlds!

What makes Mexican bass so popular among angling enthusiasts is the power of the Florida strain bass.  The vision of catching my first Mexican bass is something I will never forget.  I hooked a three pounder and thought I had an eight pounder on, and the thought came to my mind, what will a 10 pounder be like.  The lake El Salto bass grows at an astounding rate of two pounds a year.  One of the main reasons for their rapid growth rate is of course the forage, consisting of Shad, Crayfish, and there favorite Tilapia.

 

Angler's Inn is a first class operation and second to none in comfort and amenities.  El Salto is world renowned among serious anglers with over 85% of fishermen landing their personal best.  El Salto is easy to fish, because it is shallower than a lot of the other higher altitude lakes in Mexico, which makes it a great place for groups and family trips.  Angler's Inn welcomes anglers of any age, or skill level.

 

An assortment of lures work at El Salto.  The lake record is 18.5 lbs. and it is not uncommon to catch two or three a day in the double digit class.  The average fisherman can expect to catch 25 to 65 bass a day depending on their experience.  Many hardcore bass fishermen and fishing magazines rate El Salto the number one Trophy bass lake in the world.  El Salto contains tons of vegetation (Hyacinth) and flooded timber.  El Salto has hundreds of miles of shoreline and thousands of bays to easily target these monsters.  El Salto is a rare gem!
