I need new lures???
We have lost our entire lure collection. Let's not go into that, but now we need to restock. Please. Tell us what is old or new that we should be
buying for fishing shore or off shore near Bahia Asuncion. If this is already a thread I need help finding it.

For shore, Krocodiles, twin tail scampys in white, red and root beer, big hammer (or equivalent) swim baits, various colors. For trolling the Rapala
magnum in blue and green mack are a good start....

Thanks, this is what John needed to know. Keep them coming! He knows some of the things to get but those fish like variety in their lives. Since we
buying everything new he might as well get the full deal. We will be buying one of those Orca-stras to try out on the seals.

When the Pacific is in this pattern, how long does the warmer water stick around? Do I have a chance in 5WEEKS!!!?

If you're in La Paz you can save a HUGE number of pesos by fishing at the Bravo market. You don't need lures, a pole or a boat.

Gamakatsu bait hooks for surf fishing using sand crabs, some "gulp" bloody sand worms for above, and what Stan and Shari said! Also I've got spare
gear you're welcome to use.

No worries Acadist...the warm water sticks around all winter and into February we are still getting yellowtail and the water is warm enough for
swimming. It is this warm current here in the winter that makes our climate so nice...warmer than the gulf side in winter!

I only mentioned lures as that was the topic of the question but small, light wire bait hooks, swivels and 1/2 oz sliding sinkers should be in your
box for shore fishing on the pacific. As boe mentioned above, "Gulp" 2" sand worms and small 2" whip tail grubs are supposed to be good but I haven't
had a lot of success with them. As with anything you get better with experience and I haven't had the patience to learn the tricks, I usually use sand
crabs.
I was beach fishing in Asuncion last week catching smallish yellowfin croakers on Krocks but could see big corbina feeding in the shallow water at
high tide on sand crabs. I tried a sand worm for a while with no joy and switched to sand crabs. They were pretty small so I threaded 2 or 3 at a time
on the hook. It didn't take long to get the party started. I caught 3 really nice corbina and my friend caught a huge spotfin croaker which he
released to fight another day. The corbina came home for dinner and lunch the next day.

Corbina are delicious. They're better tasting than yellowfin croakers in my opinion.
The corbina will take those Gulp seaworms very well.
Nobody mentioned Kastmasters fished from shore. They're more effective than Krocs usually.
