Surf Fishing/Bayfishing

[Lendawg24]

Hey Guys... heading down to Lavalette for the first week of August with girlfriend and friends. Was just wondering if anyone knew what i should be targeting down there this time of year and how to go about it? Any info will help as i am not too experienced in fishing let alone saltwater fishing
Thanks in advance

My great uncle lives down there, he's been catching lots of snapper blues when the tide is coming in right off the beach. Tons of baitfishing down there too, I was there this weekend and reached down into the water and grabbed one with my hand. Probably some small fluke out there too. Best thing to do is hit a local B&TS and see who's catching what. Good luck and tight lines!

This time of year its mostly fluke and smaller blues during the day. I would use gulp for the fluke and target them both surf and bay. At night its sharks and maybe some bass which I would use bait and focus in the surf.

If temps are up I'd be launching bunker chunks on wire rigs and 80 lb braid at night. A good heavy 11-12' rod and a reel that can hold well over 300 yards. Get sharky
