Surfcast puerto penasco

Hi AZDan. I was born in providence, grew up in Warwick. I know several others down in RP from RI and Mass.
I'll be down Feb 3rd. Surf casting may work off the port next to wrecked on the reef. I prefer the estuary next to tessoro for Flounder, Corvina and other species.
31°16'51.5"N 113°26'14.1"W
I like swim bait with large eyes on jig head. 6 inch or so with paddle tail. Or a nice castmaster.

AZDan you are on the right track. I would add spoons as an option. Corvina are the only local fish that hit surface from my experience. The do not hit poppers, but love twitch baits and prop baits. You are not going to catch huge fish off the shore, so consider tackle you would use for large mouth bass. Corvina are similar to weakfish aka spotted sea trout in the Atlantic. The one in my picture is exceptionally large (my lifetime best from 50 years of casting).

Personally I feel it's a waste. I've had luck here off the pier
Fishing Pier by Wrecked
Also here off the shore past JJs Cantina. You could eat lunch and hang out at JJS

Also see people fishing by the Marina (public launch) don't know that I'd eat anything I caught by the boats lol
Public Launch Area
These are good options if you don't care to venture out. You can try surf casting from the beach by the pier opposite side of Wrecked too. That pier has created quite a habitat for fish.

I am at the Sonoran Sea which is 3 condominium associations to the east. Right next to you to the west is a large white condo association called esmerelda. It's half finished and has a tiki bar called diegos. A little spendy but convenient for you - If you look past that to the west you're going to see a rock (man made pier) everyone calls the home port where they are supposed to have cruise ships in the future - LONG STORY....
You can walk out the center of that (its a road) and fish off the sides if you don't mind climbing or fish off the end which is more managable.
That's where listed this:
The others you will not want to walk to. Your fishing between esmerelda and that rock port should be decent.
The walk from Sonoran Sun to the Pier is under 1 mile. Low tide is easiest as the sand is more hard packed.

There are a lot of people so not the best spot. Better to fish off the rocks near Cholla or the Malecon in town. I mostly fish an hour south which requires 4x4.

I don't think he or others will be stopping people in general from going down to the beaches.
But there's going to be a big request to find someone to come out and tow someone from the beach. You know people are going to get stuck. I seen a new jeep get stuck. Last time we were down.
The last hurricane event severly eroded the few pedestrian acess points on the east end of Las Conchas. Where there used to be foot trails between some houses, there are 15ft cliffs of eroded dunes. Some of the locations next to vacant lots are being used to bury some of the sea wall debris. Maybe they will reestablish that acess.

Contractors are also dumping the construction debris/sea wall debris after the sun goes down and wherever they feel like it. I think the worst spot to dump was on the CEDO property. The homeowners getting renovations or sea wall repair need to assure the garbage is getting dumped properly. I’m sure the project was quoted including dump fees just another way Mexicans can shove a few more pesos in their pocket.

Where ever you go the local construction guys generally are the hardest on the environment. My Idaho mountain town is the same way.
