We will be there in June also and already have booked June of 2025. I’m guessing that the lake is fishing better than usual this year because of the high water it had in 2021/2022 when it was in the path of two hurricanes. In January of 2022 it was pretty wild fishing around gravestones in cemetery #2. Lots of flooded cover protected the 2022 spawn.

Even when the fishing is "off" it's the happiest place on earth -- when it's at it's best it's beyond compare.

Damn Skippy, I was there in February that year after the two hurricanes. The fishing was kinda funky till we broke out the A rigs and crushed them severely.

I'll be there in early may under the wing of Billy Chapman.

Bass, beer, margaritas… all that is great but nothing compares to the cheese nachos and jalapeno poppers after a long day on the water! I love picachos and Salto! Heading to Picachos here in a couple weeks. Was at Salto in early February

I have been there 17 or 18 times and trust me it has its days where you wonder why you spent the money to come down. On one trip a major cold front came thru and in 2 days we only boated 3 fish.Now once it started to warm up it we started catching them again and my brother caught his personal best a 9 something.
