GREAT LURES FOR La ZONA ON SALE

http://www.landbigfish.com/ currently has some great buys on proven monster dorado lures. These have been very effective catching monster dorado at special places like La Zona "Home of the Monster Dorado". The lures I am taking about are the Rapala Magnum 30 in new colors of firetiger and redhead. These lures are made of hard plastic and can withstanding the lure destroying golden dorado. Also they have a select few discontinued models of the wonderful River2Sea DownSider Minnows which are 8 inches long and dive to 35ft. These also will knock the dorados when the turbines are roaring in La Zona.

Act fast before the prices go up or the lures are gone!

S.O.B. SPINNERBAITS

The spinnerbaits made by S.O.B. are the only models I have found to hold up to tough fighting fish such as peacock bass, tigerfish, and the La Zona dorado. S.O.B. uses heavy wire which will not get bent by these species. Also the company will custom make lures to your design. A friend used 1 to 3oz S.O.B. spinnerbaits in firetiger coloration to catch a few moster dorado in October. Spinnerbaits give you the option of buzzing it around the rocks or letting it sink and use a jigging type retrieve.

Certain spinnerbaits are manufactured with a R-bend in the wire where you tie your line or attach a leader while other types have a closed loop. The models with the R-bend, the leader snap is able to ride up the wire arm often resulting in fouled casts. To prevent this I take a small piece of shrink wrap and slide it over the R-bend and heat it to fit snug over the neck to prevent the snap from sliding.

Dorado fishermen should definately include a few of these spinnerbaits in their tackle arsenal!

DAIWA'S DEAD OR ALIVE FISHING LURE

The Daiwa Dead or Alive fishing lure is a side swimming topwater hybrid swimbait plug which is designed to imitate a severly injured baitfish. It is made of wood, double jointed and features a bill positioned on the side of the baits head. The whole lure is curved and the hooks rest inside the inverted U shape. It has a large spinner blade on it's tail for added noise, action, and flash. It has 1 red eye and 1 black eye. It comes in Rainbow Trout, Fire Tiger Perch, Ayu, and Bass Bass colorations. Models come in 5 inches (1 3/8ox) or 6 inches (2 3/16oz)

I have 1 of these lures and plan on experimenting the retrieves on the golden dorado of La Zona in a few months. Believe it would be a great lure on monster peacocks and largemouth bass.

LARRY SCHOENBORN PASSED

International fisherman and host, Larry Schoenborn, passed away yesterday. Larry hosted the fabulous fishing television show "Fishing The West" which featured fishing shows from around the world including Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. Larry also sold and hosted many International Fishing Trips. One of Larry's shows was on the Alaska Peninsula lodge Painter Creek. The show really influced me to book a trip to the lodge and I have been fishing the Alaska Peninsula for around 21 years now. I also have a copy of Larry's "Fly Fishing for Peacock Bass" which is a must for all fly fishermen in search of monster peacocks.

Larry will be greatly missed by all. God bless him and his family!!!
