I like to eat my catch. Trigger sounds like the easiest meal. I have a few spinning rods. What do you recommend I do? I'd like to be able to make fish tacos for the 13 of us sharing the beach house.
I have fished Los Conchas once, with pretty limited success. I fished once from the shore, and once from a kayak. I lost most of my lures to the reef, or sharp toothed fish that either broke my monofilament, or bit my soft bodied lures clean in half. The redeeming part of my excursion is that -even though I am phobic of sharks, my eight year old son and I investigated a tail fin and dorsal fin that could only be from a massive shark. When we got close, the spotted pattern revealed the presence of whale sharks. We followed three whale sharks for a good half an hour before a Panga scared it away.
Anyways, I love Rocky Point, and I am already strategizing my next trip down there. Besides proving to my wife that I can catch a small meal, I want to come home with a truly satisfying catch. At this point in time, I'm determined to spend at least one day targeting bigger meals like flounder, corbina, pampano, sierra, or anything else that might be hanging out near the mouth of the De Marua estuary. I have added kastmaster spoons to my wishlist, and my wife happened upon a pretty nice bass pole and reel.
Do you folks think a 3/4 ounce kastmaster in the mouth of the De Marua estuary in March is likely to produce any fun, or should I drive myself down to the La Pinta estuary?
Thanks in advance,
Scott
