2011 - Spinning from shore

[J_Z]

What can be expected to be caught by spinning from shore this time of the year please? I guess Barracuda, and maybe Serra and Cervjol? or am I mistaken?

Thanks

Barracudas are still reigning supreme. There are also still some Blue Runners around, of various sizes.

Apparently there are also some TINY Amberjacks here and there.

As for Bluefish, they're either small or the bigger ones don't strike. And if they strike they miss the target

Why don't you try different lures?

and a lighter setup..... i have loads of fun with a 2.7m maver rod with an action of 5-25g, 1500 reel with 0.16mm-0.20mm line and a small popper.

I'm still enriching my lure collection, and will try to use varied ones next time. I have a miniketc which I will use, and some metalli apart from another Rapala X-Rap 14cm.

miniketc are excellent top water lures, if worked properly.

yes, that's what I've read. Will give it a try next week, and we'll see... I'm still very eager to catch my first fish by spinning, even if it's something relatively 'small' 

next week I'll try for imsell too, but not by spinning.

well.... the miniketch is a lure which youshould use when targetting specific prey under particular conditions.

Search for what you want to catch, learn the spot and adapt the technique.

yes, I know it's good for lampuki - although it's quite difficult to catch them from shore...I'll give it a try.

Also why not a bit of jigging? small soft lure, and a deep hole, cast, let it sink. I got 2 small burqax with this technique.
