The year flew by, and as we look back we had some amazing adventures to some of our favorite destinations — new and old, fishing and otherwise. Relive them in this brief summary of all of the fun and frequent flyer miles.

The goal at the start of your trip should be to get one bite, put one fish in the boat, and then build from there. Each additional success adds confidence, releases pressure, and increases your awareness of how to do things correctly.

As I’ve written before, the best time to go on a fishing trip to Lake El Salto or Lake Picachos is any time you can. We’re happy to help arrange your visit to Anglers Inn at any time you want. Fortunately, even if you’re a newbie to Mexican bass fishing, or international travel altogether, the trip pretty much runs itself. — but coming WITH US can make it even better.

You should bring ample supplies of the proven lures on your next bass fishing trip to Mexico. Buy more than you think you’ll need and fill your luggage to the max. However, if you forget something, or your luggage gets lost, or you run out of something, the “pro shop” has the gear to make sure you don’t go fishless the rest of the trip.

One of the most common questions when I speak with prospective or first-time travelers to Anglers Inn’s lodges at El Salto and Picachos is, “What are the boats like?” Since it is a common question, I decided to finally not only tell you, but show you as well. They are custom made specifically for the Mexican fishing experience.

On our first trip to Anglers Inn Lake El Salto, Hanna and I went for 3.5 days of fishing. Since then, we’ve almost always gone for at least a week. On a handful of occasions when time was limited, we have jetted in for the shorter stay, and once we stayed for a full two weeks, but for most visitors I’d suggest that you fish at least 6 days.

We’ve been fortunate to fish with many great fishing lodges across the globe. Sometimes, however, it’s hard to recognize just how good something is until you experience a less-stellar operation. Accordingly, it’s worth noting that that we’ve also been to some average and even sub-par operations – and they’ve helped us to appreciate what our favorites do well.

Lake Picachos is Mexico’s newest destination bass fishery, and while it’s often considered a “numbers” lake it has produced quite a few trophies and personal bests. It sits in Sinaloa, less than an hour from the airport and about two hours from famous Lake El Salto.

One of the best times to go to Lake El Salto is during the winter months when it is cold at home and fishing has slowed down. Here are a list of pros and cons (mostly pros) to scheduling a trip to Anglers Inn International in Mexico in January.

A corporate fishing trip is our kind of work outing. Even if not all of the members of the group have prior fishing experience, by going to a fishery when the angling is expected to be off-the-charts, you’re likely ensuring that their first experience will be a good one – which means they’ll want to go again and again.
