Every carnival we camp out by the river in manzan (the usual spot where everyone camps and you have to pay).....MOST of the time we suffer regards fishing lol.....normally we use shrimp, herring, squid but mostly catch choof-choof and cat fish.......I know live bait is the way to go but that can be tedious to catch....have no net and skills to throw a net..... this year we considering some artificial bait ......something like this:
also some artificial worms and grubs...
what are my chances of catching something substantial??

I have actually caught quite a few snook, tarpon and also cavali at the river mouth in manzan using lures. I have also caught countless cavali from the surf from manzan all the way to guaya with lures in the surf. Its just a matter of timing these fish with the bait and working the right lures properly. I must admit though that manzan is one of the more difficult beaches to fish lures because of the surf. In fact with the little softbaits I have caught these same fish from the smaller rivers that trickle into the nariva swamp, the same two little bridges between nariva bridge and the river mouth.
La Foray is productive only at certain times of the year if you are into lures and is very lonely as you said. The main thing with lure fishing is selecting the right lure for the conditions and of course the fish must be there as well

I used lures in manzan already i find it is alot of work to catch fishes... I will catch a fish faster with live fresh bait rather than using the lures... I just find fish prefer the fresh bait.
The thing about artificial is that if the water is not clear enough it would not work as you want it to... Artificial uses the light of the sun to reflect and attract the fish...
Dont get me wrong Artifical works but in certain places! I have snagged huge tarpon in toco with my bombers artificial and trolling i have caught huge king fish and 100lb blue marlin!!
But manualmx nice, you must be really lucky with them lures in manzan cause i never saw anyone pull up a fish there using lures....ppl use mullet, bonito, shrimp, sea-cockroach!! I have seen ppl use artifical but they never caught anything... but then again your luck isnt mine...go strong pal..![]()

Most of the time you will catch fish faster with fresh bait in manzan than with lures but its possible. Its been a very long time since I have tried fishing in manzan though. Back in the days when fish were plentiful it was common to catch pompano and sharks from the surf there. The lures may be more productive at the river mouths by the hotel to the north and nariva to the south. Both areas have good tarpon and snook at various times of the year. Its a little early now for these fish though.
Good water clarity is nice but not mandatory for predatory fish to home in on their 'prey'. Tarpon and snook in particular frequent turbid water such as in the Ortoire river and I have caught them on lures there as well. I think its either they see really well or the vibrations and movements of the lure allow them to find it. You may have noticed how the mullet like dirty water and still fly out the water to escape as fish are feeding below and attacking them.
Toco and the 'table' are my preferred spots for casting lures. Timing is critical though to be successful since these fish don't stick around for long, 1 hour or 2 tops per day I think. Pt Radix is excellent but requires a lil hike. Problem with the table is that when you do catch cavali there they are sometimes too big or too much to carry back to the vehicle![]()
Last year toco was a little unpredictable but got some good 20lb and over cavali from the 'table'. Biggest haul from toco with lures was 12 cavali, 1 barracuda and 2 tarpon all with 1 type of lure and in the space of 2 hours.
