Seldom ever use bait,K/M,s,blue/chrome or green/chrome 1/4,3/8 oz........it also has to do which side are you fishin.

West or cold water side Kastmasters will work on Halibut,yellowfin croakers,barred perch,on the east side everything:lol: Why spent your time chasing crabs?

Light outfit and keep moving.
Rob
Forgot the tides,when ever you can get out there,some of the best times I,ve had was at a low tide and that was with Butts,they are still out there just a little farther out now,they haven,t left.

Different species feed at different times,yes generally incoming and high tides are better but not always,

Let us know how it goes.
Rob
One more thing:lol: Keep moving don,t wait for them to find you you go looking for them thats importante amigo.:biggrin:

Anyone can catch fish in a boat but only \"El Pescador Grande\" can get them from the beach.

I hope when my time comes the old man will let me bring my rod and the water will be warm and clear.

Actually Iflyfishes ? was which tide is best:lol:then we ended up with something about crabs and which way to catch them them and which kind is best on and on,I countered why bother with crabs when K/M,s are more fun and something about dinner "O Ya that was Woody I wonder whats next?

One things for sure fishing from the beach is a kick the sights and sounds on the west side to the pond and warm water on the east side,just can,t be beat!!!!!

A buddy of mine who is a master at surf fishing up here (barred surf perch) swears that Berkely Bloody Sand Worms are better than sand crabs. Also he always fishes 2 hours prior to high tide (incoming) and quits at peak.



Two dirt roads diverged in Baja and I, I took the one less graveled by......

Ghost shrimp are excellent but I don't think you'll get them here in asuncion. The guys at L Manuela got them in the protected water. It was their #1 bait for spotties.

Here on the Pacific a lot of avid fishermen are out there trying their luck today. My buddy is probably one of the most rabid around.

Returning from a day of fishing I asked him if they were biting.


He replied, “Were they? I had to lie down in the boat just to bait my hook! ”




I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Incoming tide always worked for variety but the Halibut seem to like a slack tide. Oh yeah, freeze some grunion like David says.
