” Stacy Twiggs is a member of the posse, too, and he had some great things to say about this astounding bass fishery as well.

“Over five days, we caught hundreds of fish from 2 to 10.6 pounds on ¾- to 1-oz. Berkley and Jewel watermelon jigs with trailers. I had my best luck with the new Strike King Rage Tail Craw and the YUM 3-1/2” Wounded Pumpkin Chunk Trailer.

“Six- to 7-inch Senkos produced fish all day,” he continued. “We fished them on 5/16- to 1/2-oz. Texas rigs, weightless Texas rigs and wacky style, catching countless fish regardless of the rig we used. The bigger the bait, the bigger our fish.

In the afternoons, the El Salto Posse used Fat Free Shad and Lucky Craft crankbaits to catch bass feeding on baitfish. “We had several coves that would produce 30-45 minutes of nearly back-to-back hook-ups on every cast,” says Stacy. “These were situated where wind blew baitfish into the center of the coves, in addition to holding healthy populations of tilapia. We made long casts down the center of the coves, swimming our crankbaits through the channels and bouncing them with a pause off of standing timber. We caught countless 4- to 7-pounders and several up to 8 pounds.”

“Our best fishing unquestionably came alongside of standing timber in 20-30’ of water,” he continues. “In just four hours of fishing, my partner Jim Holcomb and I boated 53 fish from 1 to 9 pounds on ½ oz., Texas-rigged Senkos, 7-inch watermelon-red Zellmanders, watermelon-red Lake Fork Craws and black/blue or watermelon ¾-oz. jigs.”

“What a run it was!!” Stacy says in conclusion. “The El Salto Posse had another amazing visit. The success of a vacation like this is the result of a lot of hard work by the staff of Anglers Inn. Although you’re focused on fishing, the Anglers Inn staff and Billy Chapman are focused on your total adventure and world-class service. All the lodge staff does everything under the sun to ensure you enjoy hospitality that makes every other vacation destination seem inadequate.”
