Due to my retirement, I have the great pleasure of fishing both lakes: El Salto and Lake Mateos. Even though the biggest bass of my life has came out of El Salto, my second biggest bass came out of Lake Mateos while pre-fishing the lake which weighed 11.4 pounds. I have caught many bass in the 5 to 8-pound range on Mateos and believe that the lake just keep on getting better. I have experienced that the bass in this fishery will bite all types of baits from topwater to senkos to spinnerbaits to plastics worms and lizards.
