LAKE EL SALTO
3/18/2008
My son Scott Murray and I spent 4 great days at your lodge on El Salto lake between the two of us we caught well over 350 bass the largest being 8lbs. The guides did a great job it took some getting use to being pampered but it was great. We had Victor, Chelo, Armando JR and Juan all of them keep us in fish and were fun. I want to offer a special thanks to Lupe he went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable everything was great and we plan on returning every chance we get.
Thank You!!!!!!!!

Ron....just a note to thank you for the great adventure for our lucky angler at our recent Dreams come True bass classic -- with proceeds to children with life-threatening diseases. It was one of the highlights of the day...we deeply appreciate your generous offering...I told all the anglers what great accomodations, meals and fishing they were in store for.
And, by the way, how have you been doing? Hope fishing is great. Tell Charlie hello for me.
Thanks Again

comments: Ron,
I was "talked into the trip" a year ago. I booked and went with JW Petersons group in January to Comadero. Certainly I was excited about going but knew there was no way it was as good as my buddy Butch was telling me it was. Wow was I wrong!!! From the time we were picked up to the time we left the entire experience was nothing short of awesome. We boated a fish over 9lbs every day with our fourth day bringing 4 fish over 8 lbs and my largest...a 10.5 pound chunk...next cast an 8lb chunk! 160 fish our last day with none under 2 lbs...it was unreal! The food, the lake, the people...one of the best experiences of my life. Thank you to JW and everyone on our trip!! This will be a regular trip for me!

comments: I just returned from Lake Commodero fishing with JW Peterson and his group. Omar, Jorge, and the rest of the staff, guides, and cooks were phenominal. Everyone went out of their way to ensure that our trip was fantastic. It helped of course that I caught my personal best bass at 10lbs and 3 oz. JW and I caught great fish everyday, and this trip will always be one of my best memories. I have already committed to go again for the 6th time next January. Until then, I will count the days.

Let me begin by saying WOW! This was without a doubt the trip of a lifetime. Ive been fishing for several years now and think I caught more fish in four days than I have in four years. Thanks to all who put in numerous hours in preparation to make all this possible. JW Peterson of J&J Guide Service at Lake Fork did an outstanding job preparing me for this trip. To be honest hearing these stories from a guide kinda made me wonder, but let me be the first to admit, he was right! Even thought I've been back for three days now my lipping thumb still needs a little rest from unhooking 100+ bass a day. I was told by many if you dont want to go a second time, never go a first and once again they're right. My countdown has officially begun, just a little under a year ad I'll be back at what in now considered my favorite fishery in the world.

El Salto Fishing Trip

I'm sorry it has taken so long to say thanks, but things have been crazy here in Afghanistan since Ive been back, and I have been in the field for the past 2 months without much Internet time. I just wanted to say thanks for me and my wife and father-n-law. The El Salto fishing trip was one of the best fishing experiences I had in my life and I will always be thankful for the chance to go and the wonderful staff and accommodations y'all provided. We are building us a place in Mazatlan and look forward to fishing with y'all again as much as we can. I caught a 300 lb Blue Marlin [click for picture] and am having it replicated. I would like to plan another trip in the near future for my son before he deploys to Iraq with the Marine Corps. As soon as I get a firm date I will email you to schedule.
Thank you once again.Tell everyone we appreciate it.

Fishing Report for Lake El Salto Mexico
4/27/2005
Tom & Jim Schultz here. Again and again, Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for a phenomenal trip. I was told last year that I could never duplicate the catch, well this old Yankee Boy doubled last years catch and shared his knowledge with six of your other guests who never caught a ten pounder before. I believe they all caught one. One of the guests named Ernie caught four in one afternoon. When I left I gave them the rest of my crankbaits that we caught all the fish on so they could catch some more. That’s all their travel Agency told them to bring was plastic baits. Heck I couldn’t use those baits in an airplane. Ron, you know the best part all these guys will return to your camp. You staff was wonderful as always. Lupi is worth his weight in gold as Armond Sr. is. Please take a look at the attachment. Once I get all my pictures on a CD I’ll send them to you if you want them. Let me know. Thank you and your staff again and God Bless You All.

Terrific El Salto Trip
1/24/2005
The camp at El Salto is super. It was my first trip to Mexico and it was one I will be thinking about for a long time. Your people made us feel right at home. The cabins were comfortable and clean. The food was super and the fishing was the best I have ever experienced. The guides were friendly and knew the lake well. The ladies in the Texas office were friendly and helpful. I am looking forward to fishing with you guys next year. Your camp and staff are First Class.

Best top water bite I ever had for 4-6 lb fish (unbelievable). Best trip I ever had. This was my third trip.
Excellent guides - Manuel and Oscar. Both guides know lake very well. Water level was full. Guides knew where underwater structure was.
Excellent food and host. Just a Great Trip!

Feb 8 trip

Ron, to answer your questions we had plenty of good refreshments. The food was good and probably better than last year. The manager was in complete control and pleasant about everything. We were all happy with our trip. I ask our group if there was one thing that they would suggest you improve on. Everyone agreed the seats in the boats need to be fixed or replaced but that would not keep anyone from going back again.
It is amazing to me that anyone could go in the deep mountains away from civilization and find nice accommodations like you have available.
PD
P.S. Thanks for taking care of Jesús. He proved to be a great guide. Please let him know I sent you the photo if you can.

Really enjoyed our trip to Comedero on Feb 7 thru 9. We were even lucky enough to get our names on the "Report" all three days.
I do want to praise the job Omar did -- he is a first rate individual.

February 2004 El Salto Trip
2/9/2004
Had a great trip to El Salto. I got a 9.2. It was caught, I think, on 2-4-04. The guide shot a digital photo of it. Lupe said you guys would send me a copy of the photo via email. Can you do this?
Also, can you send me some lit on the Peacock trips.

The trip was great. I will have a full report for you on Monday and I will call you. Joe Waldrop and I on Friday caught 75 Bass with an average of 5-6 lbs. Joe caught a 9 and I caught a 13.8 on Texas rigged Lizards. Lost three Bass that were as big or Bigger in the same spot. Had to come home but didn't want to. Report on Monday.

El Salto, "Best Trip Ever To Mexico"
4/23/2003
As you know our group just got back from El Salto, and we had a great time. It was probably our best trip ever to Mexico. We caught some really nice quality fish and quite a few of them. Loupe did a super job and the guides were very good.

El Salto Fishing Excellent Despite Talapia Nets
4/10/2003
I haven’t had a chance to talk to you since my trip to El Salto on March 4-8. I just wanted to say that that trip was fantastic! The hosts and the guides were excellent, knowledgable, and friendly. The food was very good, and the fishing (the important part) was the best I have ever experienced. Every day, I caught at least one fish over five pounds, and hooked and lost the largest fish I have ever hooked (it broke the bill of the crankbait!!). That lake must hold the largest ratio of big fish to fish I have ever experienced. Every fish I caught was a great fighter, and almost every place the guides took us held fish. The only drawback was the Talapia nets, because the lake was down they seemed to be everywhere. I will definitely return to Lake El Salto in the near future. Thank you for everything.

Had a great 5 days fishing at Huites 3-7 March out of Lake Huites Bass Club. Your fishing reports have lots of mistakes, but in general they reflect the overall quantity and quality of the fishing.
Good service, good food and great fishing!

A Very Memorable Adventure
3/4/2003
A note to let you know how very much Mickey and I enjoyed the peacock bass fishing on the Rio Negro Feb 16-23. I just pulled up your web site and found the pictures of our group that you had posted! Some beautiful fish! I forwarded your web site address to all of my family and friends so they will be checking it out!
Peacock Bass Fishing has been a dream of ours for quite a few years and your organization allowed us to experience that dream! I was totally surprised as to how well I managed the trip. I love to fish so the long hours were not too difficult. I fish Table Rock with a spinning reel so I did have some adjusting for the first couple of days, learning to work that wood chopper! I finally got coordinated enough to get the rhythm. I will practice before the next trip!
We were extremely pleased with all aspects of the trip. Your staff was wonderful! Gilbert was so gracious to explain many things about the country and the culture.

Comedero - Great Trip With RSA
2/16/2003
The February trip to Comedero was a Great trip. Just about everyone caught or had a great chance to catch a trophy Bass. Many fishermen on this trip caught their largest Bass ever. The weather was a little unusual for this time of year in Mexico and it caused the morning fishing to be a little slow but as the day moved on, the fishing picked up and the Monster Bass were back on the move. On this trip I averaged about 40-55 quality Bass per day with many of them in the 5-8 lb class and the largest we boated was a 10 & 11 3/4. There were a bunch of Big Bass caught and at times the fish were so strong that getting them through the brush was just about impossible and as you know I do this just about every day. Late Wednesday evening I had one of the biggest explosions on a Top Water Bait that I have ever seen. It even surprised Pablo and by the time it was over the Big Bass had pulled the hooks out of my Chug Bug. We had numbers of 7's,8's and 9's and as a group we boated 10-12 Bass.

Comedero - Good Trip Despite Slow Fishing
2/12/2003
We had a really good trip even though the fishing was slow. I thought all 3 guides we had were very good. The camp was in good condition and we are looking forward to going again. The food was better than the last two trips and they had some Coronitas for us to drink. Peter had never been bass fishing before and he caught 13 the last day with a 7 lb. fish caught along with a 6 and a 5. Not bad for a first timer.
