    La Pinta 11-13-11

    Finally found another spare day for a day trip down to the beach. This time with the little Shore-Fisher in tow as well. Needless to say, I was a little late in getting out of the house, but no worries - I was a little concerned that 6 hours on the beach may be a little too long for a...

    La Pinta - Shore Fishing 7-4-2011

    Set off from Tucson at around 5:30 AM Monday for a quick day trip to the water. It was wet and a little rainy, with Kitt Peak smothered in thick clouds. Avoiding quite a few 'free range' cows on the first part of the trip, I fueled up in Why and grabbed a tasty burrito for breakfast before...

    My dad is visiting for his annual trip to Tucson in about a month and we're planning a couple of days shore fishing and beach camping (Hopefully it has cooled off a bit...). Plan is for La Pinta - Any other suggestions or tips on target species/techniques? Ed

    Beach House for Easter Weekend - Any Tips/Leads?

    I'm looking to go down to PP this weekend with another family (4 adults and 5 kids). Looking for a 4-bed place on the beach (Or very near). Want a quiet time rather than party central. I'm looking for any recommendations on what area to stay, any nice places anyone knows about, or tips on the...

    La Pinta Shore Report 10/1-10/2

    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...

    Shore Report - La Pinta, East Side, 24-25 Nov 2008

    My dad and I left Tucson at 5:30 AM and refuelled at the casino in Why after a nice quiet first half of the journey. For the first time we found the shop at the casino closed, so we also stopped at the gas station on the corner and picked up some ice and a couple of chorizo and potato burrittos...

    La Pinta Trip

    Looks like I'm on for a 2-3 day shore fishing trip down to La Pinta next week. Anyone know of anything that has changed down that way since this time last year? I am assuming beach access, etc are still OK. Anyone fished the shore in recent weeks? Ed

    Shore Reports Anyone?

    Thinking that it may be cooling off enough to plan a beach camping trip at La Pinta. Anyone fished the shore lately?

    Sand Crabs?

    I recently took a vacation down in Puerto Vallarta and managed to get a few hours of fishing on the beach in front of the resort each morning/evening. I started fishing with the standard bait (shrimp and squid pilfered from the kitchens) and lures I use a Penasco, without much luck. Then, one...

    La Pinta

    Any shore reports from La Pinta since the weather has heated up? Itching to get down myself, but I'm not sure I'll manage it for a month or so - Does the Corvina action slow up as the water warms, or does it keep going right through until the cold weather hits? Ed
