Rooster fish in Cabo

Characterized by its spectacular "rooster comb," is one of the world's most exotic fish species. Roosterfish identification is about as easy as it gets. No other fish looks anything like this true oddball.

The Roosterfish is a member of the Carangidae or Jack Family but it looks like no other jack.

They are widely distributed throughout all waters of Mexico, including all offshore islands. It is viewed as a prized game fish that can generate an adrenaline rush as it chases live bait on the surface. Once hooked it is one of the strongest hombres in the sea.

The Roosterfish is normally a “catch and release” species, as its food value is poor.

It has been reported to reach over four feet in length and up to 114 pounds (the current I.G.F.A. Roosterfish world record, with the fish caught in Mexican waters), and is found along the beach, predominately during warm seasons with water temperatures in excess of 80 degrees, and at depths of up to 100 feet.

The Roosterfish is a true visual phenomenon. It feeds on sardines and other small silvery fishes and travels in packs chasing food onto the shore.

It is usually caught with slowly trolled mullet, ladyfish, or sardines just outside the surf line, outwards from shore to about a quarter-mile. It has also been caught with good regularity from shore using Ranger Plugs and Klassen Poppers, and can also be caught by fly casting

We received a couple of pictures from our friend Butch Bustamante of his fishing trip from a couple of weeks ago.

They released three nice roosterfish aboard Andrea.

Walking around the marina..

We couldn't resist this cutie.....this little jack russel was hanging out at the marina having a cold beer with his owner. He was really friendly and willingly posed for the camera.

Overall Catch Success Rate 86%

BILLFISH: A lot of marlin were seen in Cabo these past few days, but that doesn’t necessarily meant that a lot were caught. In fact the start of the week was very slow for billfish, though Matt Rainwater from Fort Worth, Texas, did pretty well aboard “Bill Collector”. Matt released his first striped marlin of the week, three and a half miles out from Cerro Colorado on a live caballito and then went on to boat a 50 lb wahoo which took a petrolero lure and three tunas between 30 and 40 lbs that took cedar plugs on May 20th. This same day “Tracy Ann” reported that they had seen seven striped marlin but could not get them to bite. Next day out Matt Rainwater released another striped marlin just two miles off of Cerro Colorado again on a live caballito and on this same day “Great Escape Junior” fishing four miles out from Cabeza de Ballena and Santa Maria saw fifteen marlin that they threw bait too, but just couldn’t get them interested. Matt wasn’t finished though; he went onto release one more striped marlin, this time on May 23rd, just two miles from shore and also got two tunas. It is a good sign that more marlin are being spotted as it means catches will start to increase and we know that they are in the area. As the week progressed we began to see more marlin catches. “Tracy Ann” had two up to 140 lbs plus one tuna for Sean Bohannon & Carrie Grimes from Washington D.C on May 26th two miles from Cerro Blanco and “Andrea” released one this day for a group from Salt Lake City. “Andrea” did well to hook up two striped marlin at Cabeza de Ballena for the Mac Colby family from Atlanta, Ga...one released and the other one 140 lbs died. “Great Escape Jr” released a striped marlin in the same area and also caught an 86 lb hammerhead shark for Erol Onyuru and the McLean’s from Dallas, Texas. Twenty-eight percent of Pisces charters caught marlin this week all on live bait, generally close to shore on the Cortez side. Our total marlin count was thirteen with eleven released.

OTHER SPECIES: OTHER SPECIES: The top catch again this week was yellowfin tuna with fifty one percent of boats catching between one and fifteen fish up to 40 lbs. Cedar plugs and feathers worked well with tuna found both on the Pacific and Cortez side. “C Rod” was the top tuna boat with fifteen and one dorado caught off of Gaspareño for James Little and friends from Folsom California. “La Brisa” had a very nice wahoo weighing in at 65 lbs for Mark Hendrix from Houston, Texas, caught on an orange rapala just one mile out from Santa Maria; he also caught two football size tuna in the same area. Charlie and Sidney Wilhite, Westmonroe, Louisiana caught a 65 lb hammerhead shark aboard “Andrea” three miles off of the Old Lighthouse plus the slightly larger one, mentioned above. Dorado catches were slow with just five taken by our boats. Rooster fish action was fair and there were a few amberjacks and jack crevalles too.

LOCATION: Cerro blanco, two miles, Santa Maria, Chileno, Cabeza de Ballena, off of the Old Lighthouse.

WEATHER CONDITIONS: Quite windy, with whitecaps on the Pacific all week, forcing the boats to concentrate on the Cortez side. Skies sunny.

AVERAGE WATER TEMP: 74 F

BEST LURES: Live bait, cedar plugs, petroleros.

Fishing news

Jim and Cheryl Sedoris from Eagan Minnesota had a great time with sister, Cindy Tovsen aboard “La Brisa” on Saturday.

Despite rough seas they toughed it out and came back with three beautiful tuna which made a delicious dinner and there are still plenty of fillets to take home.

They found the fish eleven miles out from Cerro Blanco.

Fishing news

Matt and Steve Webster from Dorado Hills, CA went on Valerie on May 27th and caught a nice 30 lb dorado and six yellowfin tuna a half mile from Cerro Blanco.


We are sure they had a great dinner with the family!

Meet Pancho!!

Our friendly local sea lion.....he is very smart and had learned to beg from boats when they return to the dock.


He usually gets the left over bait, but the other day he actually snatched a small tuna from an angler that was holding it up for a photo.

Watch out for those teeth!

Our friends from New Jersey!

We received some pictures from Jerry Malangone from last October.

To my friends at Pisces. Sorry I took so long to send the pictures. Here is the largest bull Dorado of our trip 69 inch 56 lb. from October, La Brisa captain Ray. Anglers - Jerry Malangone, Dan Bixler and Jason Bixler.

They were fortunate to release three nice roosterfish aboard Andrea.

Also the same day, Todd & Bev Duncan from San Diego caught two yellowfin tunas aboard the Tracy Ann.

May 24th, 2010 Fish report

Looks like fishing picked up considerably yesterday and for the first time in awhile we are seeing marlin.

Our top anglers today were the Colby family from Atlanta, Georgia they enjoyed a great time out with Captain Orlando aboard Andrea and were thrilled to catch two striped marlin both on live bait at four miles of Cerro Blanco.

Unfortunately one of the fish died before it could be released so they brought it back to the dock, where it will be filleted for them to take home and share with some of the crews.


Here is a picture to remember.
