As early spring arrives, temperatures begin to rise, and the winter fish species start to change. The estuary, a thriving environment teeming with rich ecological resources, offers bountiful catches year-round. When the northeastern monsoon blows, saltwater fish fatten up, but strong coastal winds and waves often make it difficult to set sail or fish from shore. During these times, wind-sheltered spots in the estuary become ideal fishing areas. The main fish species found here include black sea bream, red snapper, and grouper, while some areas also host bartail flathead, thornfish, Hawaiian ladyfish, and tarpon. The diversity of fish species is impressive. The primary lure fishing techniques used are soft baits and hard baits, while jigs can be effective in deeper channels with strong currents. A twitch-and-pause motion can further attract predatory fish, increasing the chances of a successful catch.
For targeting red snapper with hard baits, underwater lures such as Valley Hunter MINNOW 60F, MINNOW 55S, and MINNOW 55SS are excellent choices. For surface fishing, PENCIL 65 is a great option. Among them, MINNOW 55SS is a sinking lure with a slower sinking speed compared to the MINNOW 55S. It is particularly effective in areas with currents and depths of 1 to 2 meters. The 55mm size provides excellent palatability, and its strong wobbling action enhances light reflection, increasing visibility and making it more enticing to fish. Additionally, the built-in rattling beads help attract fish in murky waters or low-light conditions by utilizing sound. With a weight-transfer design, it improves casting stability and distance, making it suitable for various environments, including stream canyons, rough coastal waters, and calm fishing grounds. For soft baits, Rock Master Rock Carw is a better option. Its powerful presence is highlighted by the strong, swinging action of its double claws. The bait is salt-cured and enhanced with ingredients like krill powder and shrimp essence to add scent, which increases palatability when fish bite. There are 10 color options available: natural colors for clear water and good weather, and bright colors for murky water or overcast conditions. Both hard and soft baits are suitable for saltwater fishing spots, whether it’s rocky gravel shores, oyster racks, or sandy areas.
For fishing at estuary spots, ROCK MASTER RMS-825ML is an excellent choice. Its length is perfect for long-distance casting, and it can handle heavy loads when the current is strong. The rod is made with a slim, solid blank, providing excellent maneuverability when using lightweight rigs. The orange tip at the end enhances visibility, and the entire rod is constructed with high-density carbon fabric from Japan TORAY. The guides are FUJI stainless steel K-type guides, which improve casting smoothness and distance. This rod is specifically designed for saltwater rockfish. Recently, a new 5-piece travel rod model has been added, making it even more convenient to carry when heading out for fishing trips.
This lure has a sinking type design, and its strong swinging vibration enhances the silhouette reflection effect, effectively increasing its presence in the water and providing a stronger attraction. Additionally, it features built-in rattles, which help attract fish by creating sound in murky water or low-light conditions. The center of gravity shift design improves casting stability and distance. Whether in stream canyons, turbulent coastal waters, or calm water bodies, this lure is suitable for all types of fishing environments.
The Z-shaped swimming action creates surface splashes, and the high-density tungsten steel beads inside generate sound waves upon impact, mimicking the movements and sounds of a small fish being chased on the water’s surface. Its streamlined body design ensures low wind resistance during casting, effectively improving casting distance and stable operability.
The bait is infused with natural chitin and shrimp powder directly blended into the material, along with high-density salt-cured ingredients that enhance the bait's flavor and make it harder for fish to spit it out. The special shrimp claw design creates a strong, intense action that increases its presence and attraction to fish. The shrimp head has a concave groove, allowing the hook to be concealed, which increases the hook-up rate when fish bite. This bait is ideal for saltwater rockfish fishing.
