looking for some tips on beach fishing in Blanchisseuse, more specifically by the Marianne river mouth.

Well it have zel wan in the gut close to shore. I caught a pompano towards the other side by a rip. Haven't fished by the river mouth as yet but I'm sure if you place your bait in the right spot there are bound to be some nice fish to be had there.

Can someono explain wat is jigging and popping of artificials?

Those are finesse offshore techniques. You can do the same inshore but on smaller lures and pop from shore. Jig n pop uses the rod and the user's action to impart life into the lure. Jigging, you'll use lead jigs, bucktails, weighted soft baits and drop it down over the structure then jig up suddenly in bursts or a simple pick up and drop back down. With it, you can fish the entire column depending on what you're targeting. Alot of fish will hook up on the initial drop. Something I personally use is a 1/2 oz white bucktail with squid strips for grouper/snapper. It's current dependant and braid helps ALOT.

Popping is just using poppers and other simple topwaters like pencils,chuggers, hybrids. Something meant to target shallow snappers and jacks mainly. It's really effective since it imitates fish smacking bait on top with the sound, visual and splash. It's ringing a dinner bell for cavalli lol. Down here, you most likely to hook up with cavalli and tarpon.
A little safety tip for jigging if you try particularly on a crowded boat. KNOW how much line you have out and how close your lure is. You could jig 12ozs of lead and hooks straight back in your face or on somebody else. You need a light setup- strong and light graphite rods with a good parabolic curve for mechanical advantage and a narrow reel if you use conventionals, spinners work really good here and easier to start with.

We use these techniques a lot when offshore, especially when there area a lot of bait balling up and Fish beating...u cud search some videos on YouTube an get a better idea of what needs to be done..

jigging is a good way to find fish, you can cover the entire water column, especially if you drifting in the kayak. as mecalli and ryan say, popping creates a lot of disturbance on top, works really good when fish push bait to the surface. I know them tarpon men use poppers in the 2nd bocas very effectively.

You can't go wrong with a plain white jig, or white with pink/red.

Cool man I think you should land something good fish should be there and if you could get some live bait even better! Nice spot for the family to get some fishing with those zel wan

I use poppers primarily for inshore snapper and it works well. Jigging also got me many takes from many different fish inshore. I've stopped fishing on boat really so inshore is the new flick and those two methods are the most productive for me. DOA shrimp jigged can be very effective, see pic below; these take poppers with a vengeance as well.

Also....dropped the price significantly for a great surf rod folks; if interested shoot me a pm.

Good review here: http://www.outdoorhub.com/reviews/2013/ ... -surf-rod/

Cuberas real aggressive round structure, they pop and plug for them almost exclusively in panama in 30-50ft.

A few guys just kayaking made it to the wreck, as long as you stay to the inside and on a kayak should be fine, can't go too close to carera

[trinichubz]

[trinichubz]

What sizes you have bro?

[sinnaz25]

[avimadvibez]

anybody cud tell me where is the better spots in manzan to fish? and the best type of bait to use on that side?

[dougla_boy]

i guess u cud try bonito.....or mullet.....have had some success with fresh bonito.....

good place to fish is the river mouth....cud possibly search online for good days.....i aint no expert....but i have had some success trying this

[ReBeLz]

fishing im mayaro for a good chance of catching something is loke a 00hook a good size piece of bonito a good surf rod and an anchoring sinker its like the torpedo sinkers with wire sprang on it to anchor in the sand

[X_Factor]

Shrimp always seem to work in mayaro/ manzan.....
Anyone ever tried cast and retrieve? ?.....maybe some spoons.....divers??

[meccalli]

Tried, of all the fish you'd expect, I caught one of those green puffers on a 2 inch shrimp teaser. I never got really stuck into much fish at manzan/mayaro but the times I caught was using shrimp, chip chip and sand fleas. squid and bonito always gets me a catfish and i caught a whiting one time on a piece of herring. Water was dirty that time so maybe it was the shine.

[SMc]

^^^Question here...why do people kill/let deads the the green puffers caught in the Manzan Mayaro areas?

I know they are pretty much inedible but why not throw them back in the river rather than leave then on a bridge to dead. They must have a purpose otherwise they would not be there.

True, dey figure if dey kill dem dat less chuf chuf will bite, they don't know better.
Shrimp will catch u everything that swims in manzan, from d smallest zilwan, big cavalli right up to monster stingrays.

[X_Factor]

How they are hooked are sometimes a pain to take off and most ppl just rip out the hook which eventually kills the fish

[meccalli]

Several of many reasons, #1 people treat it like a pest fish as catfish and leave it to die. 2# sometimes when they inflate, they get stuck and will die and wash up or float back to shore and die when they wash up. A good tip is to smack em a little bit and tell them go down lol, or throw them into the air (NOT SKY) and let em hit the water. That will usually help dislodge em and the air will go down and they'll swim off.
Gut hooking can be a reason, but they will usually bite off any light wire and ANY mono if they get their teeth to it before you can bring em in. If you have a long shanked hook lodged deep, just cut them off and let the hook rust out, unfortunately a lot of people will rip out the organs just to get a hook.

[ryan99tt]

I try to release anything I am not keeping (Rays, eels, puffers, tarpon, Cavali, etc)....shud be practices also smaller and larger fish...

[dougla_boy]
