Bucket List Location

No less an authority that Kevin VanDam referred to Lake El Salto the ultimate “bucket list” destination for largemouth bass. It’s where he caught his personal-best five fish stringer that totaled over 50 pounds, and every day both novices and experienced anglers alike break their own personal bests. The lake provides a perfect laboratory for growing big fish, with textbook structure, Florida strain bass and an actively-managed tilapia population that enables the fish to grow.

At Anglers Inn El Salto, you’ll fish out of Triton boats specifically designed for these waters, big enough to get you where you’re going fast, but also able to squeeze in among the standing timber. They feature wide casting decks big enough for two, Humminbird electronics and Minn Kota trolling motors. Most importantly, the majority of our guides have been working here for decades – they know the lake like the back of their hand and they understand its seasonal moods and work diligently to make sure that you go home with plenty of good pictures and stories to tell.
