June are great for big fish.

big post-spawn females in El Salto.
April. May, and June
What is the best month to catch trophy bass on the lake?
Every month is a possibility. In the fall you can catch them on
crankbaits and topwater. In the late spring you catch them on plastic.
What's the average size fish?
El Salto bass get bigger every year. You can expect 30 to 80 fish
per boat per day with the average fish being well over 4 pounds, and
the possibility of catching fish over 8 pounds.
Anglers who fish Mexico's Lake El Salto soon figure out that any bass
that bites is apt to be a heavyweight. Over the past couple of years,
more than half the fisherman who have visited Anglers Inn, have
landed at least one double-digit-weight largemouth during their
three-day stay. An amazing 90% of our clients have caught one, or
more 6 pound fish.
A big reason for our astonishing success is fast growing pure Florida
strain bass. El Salto is one of the few Mexican lakes that harbor
these pure Florida largemouth bass.
What is the lake record?
The lake record is 18 pounds 5 ounces. Most anglers who know the
lake well are confident that its fertile water quite possibly
holds some world-record largemouth. The best five fish from one angler's
single day catch weighed a combined total of 53 pounds, 5 ounces.
