Jbird,
Not to burst the bubble, but 2 weeks ago, we had captains motoring from as far as Punta Colorada to get bait at Cerralvo Island. On a couple days, we would load up our bait tank in the morning and meet my captains uncle around Muertos bay and give him bait - so in so many words, there was no bait in the East Cape. But things change weekly and daily.
On one of my days off, I fished the beach by the lighthouse and ended up catching 4 lady fish, a rooster and a 15lb jack. The only draw back fishing the beach is you can't cover alot of water. And if you see busting fish and you sprint down the beach there might be a chance you'll step on your tongue when it's dragging on the beach. I packed a bottle of water.
What I would do is get on a bluff spot moving fish or look for schools of lady's or mullet and key in on them.
Good luck on your adventures
Jay
