Looks like good eating and a heck of a fight! If we were betting cervezas, my limes would be on a Shortfin Corvina (Cynoscion parvipinnis) for that one. Slightly concave caudal (tail) fin, pectoral fins shorter than pelvic fins, probably had some canines in it too, no?

I've caught them in calm water bays before, like fishing Canyon Lake! Great day for sure, nothing over 15 lb though.

The pic of Kenny holding the White Seabass is more of a White Seabass than an Orangemouth Corvina there Stuart ;) Good stuff!

Nope, no submissions yet! Not surprising though, they usually take until mid April to start showing up in sizable numbers in Peñasco. Good luck sir!

Hey all, just a heads up, I'm putting on a Corvina contest for all you other shore fisherman this year! Two grand prizes of surfcasting outfits. Good luck everyone!!!! Submit an entry between 4/1/2017 and 11/1/2017 and you’re entered in the raffle! Multiple entries allowed, however, only one...

At minimum I take a cheapie whistle/compass (REI and Walmart have these for cheap) clipped to my PFD. I also stick a small compressed-air air horn in the kayak hatch. If nothing else, it works great for waking up hungover people when the tamales arrive (when it's not in the yak). Good luck.

I fished almost every bait cloud of anchovies that came by (and there are quite a few) and it was all Leatherjacks, no Corvina, quite a bummer. Did much better on Rapalas than spoons. Good luck and let us know how it goes

At Encanto last weekend: Plentiful: Big Sand Bass and Bigjaw Leatherjacks A Few: Ladyfish and Cochitos Nada señor: Corvina and Mackerel

Gracias Senor Jaime de la Selva, I'll check it out. If upon the next morning's fishing venture, I burn a "china-syndrome-esque" hole through the seat of my kayak, I will think of you fondly as I watch my tupperware Titanic sink to the depths of the Cortez.

Dumb question maybe: where are the best taco stands in San Carlos/Guaymas?

"Kinda sorta" as I understand it. The fish in China is the Chinese Bahaba, another croaker whose bladder is also super dee duper medicinal. Similar to the Tototaba, there are still small populations of the fish around: http://www.biosch.hku.hk/ecology/porcupine/por24/24-vert-3-croaker.htm...

Use it as a Roosterfish sanctuary. And by "sanctuary" I mean a place that grows really large Roosterfish that only I can catch.

That's the exact rod I use, you'll love it. Good luck!

That's what I do, just probably with a smaller rod than you're thinking. I've caught rays and guitarfish on the small rod with 2 Oz of lead and squid or shrimp and they generally do hook themselves. The swing of the tide in the SOC is so ridiculous that being able to cast super far really...
