I would disagree with this statement, and I think the original comment was just that the calmer surface conditions give you more chance of a surface lure hookup. My experience is that a bit of chop/turbulence improves things - Maybe it stirs up the food source? Somebody I know here in Tucson...

Is there any shore limit?

Went down with my dad for a couple of tide's worth of fishing on 10/1 and 10/2. We normally head down around Thanksgiving and hit the Corvina really well, but he was over a little earlier this year to make a little use of the pool in Tucson, so this was the first time we have been down this...

Thanks. I'll let you all know how it turns out. Planning on fishing from mid-morning on the 1st to lunch time on the 2nd.

So do the corvina stay out of the estuaries when the water temperature is higher? I have my father over again and we are planning two 1-2 day trips to La Pinta over the next two weeks. Hoping we have a chance...

One of my favorite fish dishes is fish risotto, particularly in the winter, with some fresh crusty bread and butter. It is somewhat labor-intensive, as you have to man the stove more or less constantly throughout, but it is pretty quick to cook. I always keep a good bunch of heads and bones...

I've also seen several anglers launch from the east side of La Pinta. Both hand launched car-toppers and larger boats (But still open 'skiffs') trailered down to the water. Personally, I would be more worried about the damage to boat/trailer driving the washboard from the Caborca road down to...

I bait fish with frozen shrimp and a small lead for triggers, bass, etc, until I catch a corvina, then I switch to a 1/2oz Kastmaster. Search my other posts here and you will see more stuff. Ed

Not me. But I am going down for my yearly 2-3 day trip down to La Pinta with my father on the 2nd (Is it really a year since we last went....). Ate the last of my Corvina a couple of weeks back, and it was still v.nice, but some fresh fillets will go down very nice indeed.... Anyone else...

Cola swinging..... So it must be 1, 6 or 7.... I go for 1.

Have a look at some of my other posts (Click 'Community->Members List' at the top of this page, got to the second page of the 'S' link, then select Shore_Fisher, selecte the 'statistics' Tab and click on 'Find all posts by Shore_Fisher') You should be able to get some info on shore fishing...

The tubing is for rod holders?

On the boat issue, I understand you need a licence if you fish from a boat. If you do go out, watch that current out there. I've been down to La Pinta a few times when people have lauched a car-topper and fished from it. All they seem to do is see us catch fish from the bank and come over and...

I would not recommend using two rods at the estuary. I found I need to use a pretty heavy lead to hold bottom at anything but slack tide, which is what you would need to do to leave one rod alone. The rod and reel required to work with this just seems too heavy for the type of fishing there. I...

Damn - I was going to try my luck sometime over the next few weekends. Has anyone heard of any Corvina action from the harbor/shore recently? Ed

Although I myself much prefer saltwater angling, the best fishing program I have ever seen on TV was A Passion for Angling (http://www.passionforangling.info/). It captured closer than any other program I have seen why we choose to participate. Great Stuff. Ed
