Winter fishing, central...
Heading down for the annual trip. Surf is priority #1, but fishing is #2. Have had limited luck in recent years and looking for any tips beyond
"spoons." Will be beachcasting. Between Eugenia and Punta Baja.
Anyone?

Try a deadly dick jig, you can buy them at Cabelas. You can cast them a country mile and they have a great action when retrieved. I've caught all
sorts of fish on them. A swimbait on a 1.5 oz lead head is another good bet.

dig a clam. put it on your hook (2 per clam) and set up your pole. open a beer or 3 and listen for THAT sound on the wind!
other than that, just chuck a 2-3oz Kroc.....
U2U your details. i'm waiting for a window myself.....

Ditto with Woody!
Additionally, Plastics work for the Flat ones, Bass(around Kelp&rocks), & CorVina(seasonal).
...FYI: those 2-3 oz Kroc's are "out of print" now...
Maybe there is one place in 'the South West' that still sells them, but that's like GPS'ing the surf spots! (u2u me if interested)
I like BIG Ka$tma$ter$- but they're pricey, not to be used where it's "Lure Suicide".
You ever Try fishing off yer board? It can be a real thrill (throw'n some iron outside the kelp stringers). Watch the family jewels then sitting on
your board & handling lively Calicos.
Good LuCK!

Man, those spoons are cheap. Maybe thats why Kroc decided to bail on the big Krocs.
Any well-rounded surf collection should have some scampi-types and swimbaits in various sizes (be sure to include root beer or motor oil colored),
small spoons and kastmasters, as well as rigs for bait like squid pieces and sand crabs. I do prefer the kastmasters to spoons from shore, especially
if the wind is in your face.
Smaller is usually better when fishing from the surf. You'll get more bites and the big ones will still bite as well.

swimbaits = chiclets para cochis. 
They CAN be effective, however.

Triggers just like the very end of the swimbait.
