Surf and Inshore Fishing advice for Huatulco

Surf and Inshore Fishing advice for Huatulco I'm heading to Huatulco next week for a surf trip, but with the small swell, I'm thinking about packing a surf rod and one "small" box of plugs, poppers, iron, and what not. Google earth shows many awesome looking beaches and killer rivermouths, so I'd imagine there's some snook, jacks, and roosters around, but does anyone have any advice on some good beaches to throw the "box" at em? Gracias! Paul

Paul, I surf and fish up and down the coast here in Huatulco, plenty of snook around this time of year at the rivermouths. La Bocana at the mouth of the Copalita is one of the best spots. It's always a bit difficult getting to the rivermouth past the cliffs though, and since Hurricane Carlotta rolled through the beach at La Bocana is virtually gone. But it can still be done. Zimatan rivermouth near Barra is good as well. I've found very few roosters around here except up past San Agustin at the beach near the village of Coyula (there's another rivermouth there too). There are also some huge ones down east 40-50 miles, but most of them I've heard of have been caught by boat just offshore, not off the beach. You can give me a shout once you're down here if you want and could meet you for a beer and point you in the right direction. -George

Thanks for the heads up George! I'd love to catch my 1st rooster from the beach, but snook are my favorite inshore target! I just saw La Bocana on google earth last night and planned on checking it out and am staying at Barra a couple nights and figured it could by snooky with its rivermouth. I usually throw rapalas, spoons, rat L traps, and hair razors at snook, but let me know if there's any bait I should make sure to have. I'm getting in Wed afternoon, staying in Chahue, so let me know if you wanna have a beer in Crucecita wed night! Fshon! Paul
