OK, these are just small fry compared to all of you serious fishermen and women.
But we had a great time fishing from Playa Dorada (about 10 miles south of rocky point, north of the Mayan Palace). This is probably the worst place to fish that you could find, being basically an endless sandbar with no reef or other structure for at least 5 or 10 miles. But since I lacked time to go anywhere better and being there mainly for a family beach vacation, I made the best of it.
The kids and I caught nice-sized sand sharks (in excess of 24") using squid. We also caught what I think were some small sand bass and a couple Mexican pufferfish.
The two times I was able to get the kayak out through the chop near high tide I hooked up on some nice Corvina (two were about 24") on jointed rebel minnows. All were caught near the break. These fought like crazy and were a blast to catch in the kayak.
Not to mention the great weather in the mid-80s and perfect water temperatures. It was a great time for this desert rat. I appreciate all of the help I got off posts on this board.
