Roosterfish Fishing in Cabo
Apr–Oct
Roosterfish are the inshore trophy of Baja — a catch-and-release fish with a comb of dorsal spines that lights up as it chases bait through the surf line. We run the beaches from the panga or the 28ft walkaround with live mullet, sight-casting to cruising fish in gin-clear water.
