Another great week for roosterfish. weather conditions were generally calm except for a couple afternoons with variable winds, but nothing to get in the way of the catching. All our boats landed and released 2-6 roosterfish per day in the 20-40 lb range. We had a large sierra bite off after exploding on a fly and a couple random species adding to the excitement. The sardines have been plentiful and of good size. Although traffic has been busy, with boats coming up from Los Barilles for sardines, the roosters have been in enough places that you can find your own water. As conditions continue to heat up we expect to see some dorado in the next couple weeks.

Day 2 brought a mixed bag of rollers, wind, clouds, and boats (lots of them).  Our friend from the North West worked on his sea legs and his Barrilata lifting skills.  They were hungry and in good numbers.  We did get ourselves a really nice 10 pounder.  Made a run to the Point and had some good shots at solid 40 pound rooster. No love from Pesca Gallo today.  From there we moved around looking for some more action and found ourselves in a mix of boats.  More than we are used to, but there is a lot of room to roam. By afternoon the clouds and wind kicked up and it was siesta time.  One of the many perks of Mexico is the availability of Avocadoes and fresh chiles.  Nothing beats a big bowl of Guacamole freshly made.  Another day on the water only make s tomorrow more exciting.

Turns out its a lot like riding a bike.  You remember just what to do when you need to do it.  The water wasn’t perfect we did have some wind  but otherwise the weather was perfect and the fish were ready to play.  We had a great morning with shots at Dorado, Pargo, and Gallos all very close to shore.  The flies were right and we made it work.  We put our Beulah Blue Waters to the test and they Aced it.  We did see some traffic on the water but it didn’t stop our pursuit. The island is holding Sardinas which is in contrast to what we had last year at this time.  We received our third part of our trifecta later in the afternoon and went out to do some more scouting.  The Sea of Cortez is alive.  Tomorrow will be exciting and we look forward to getting our friend from the North West his first Rooster.

Here is a view from our “Happy Place” on our way to our “Better Happy Place”.
It’s the beginning of the season and we here at Fly Fish Mex are really excited to get on the water. The bags are packed, rods are ready, reels spooled and tested, and we will be on the water Thursday the 2nd. The fishing reports have been all over the place as is the norm for this part of the year on the East Cape and we have had reports of everything from Roosters, Wahoo, and Dorado. Keep tuned in to our site for updated reports along with photos of the catch.

Hasta Luego,
