You're using a handline? I figured you were the vintage gear!!! Hahahaha!!!


I have some surgical eels that I used to troll for stripers in the Chesapeake Bay. I modified them a bit to be trolling lures for the Sea of Cortez, but haven't had a chance to drag them yet. I *know* they'll catch fish! Hey, I remember when ships were made of wood and men were made of steel!!

It's fun Stuart to see how well some of the old standards work and stand up to the new high tech stuff. As I'm sure you already know, one of Ted's favorite Rooster fish lures is not exactly extravagant, it's as simple as they come.
I was down Santo Tomas way when the Corvina came ripping down the shore chasing bait fish, and after getting tired of catching one after the other I started changing lures to see if I could find something they wouldn't hit, I couldn't.
I've caught my biggest fish from shore when their first reaction was hearing the lure hit, and then striking as they saw it moving fast past them, or away. No thought, just pure instinct is what I'll be looking for. I'm thinking a fast moving lure is going to be the key, and probably a big rip when it first hit's is a good idea too.

old school! Walking the beach I try to keep a water bottle with very light line and plastic n' jig in my bag to throw at these hungry silver slashers... (Bait fish for Stuart) but fun to catch. One does not need to complicate things in Rocky Point. Running after the fish (you are the drag) so the line does not break is the fun part. (4lb line is the best, you can fling it a long way)View attachment 4728View attachment 4729View attachment 4730

There's nothing better than chasing a big or small fish up and down the beach in stingray infested water. I'm not kidding, nothin like chasing a fish from shore when the fish has you over matched. Used to love catching big Steelhead with light gear up in the Pacific Northwest... Son, you had better be able to follow him on the run, or you'll loose em for sure. Steelhead
