Thanks Guys, the place is magical!

Ed,
I don't know much about what runs during which times of year but we were there last time at the end of Jan. & caught quite a few roosters (to 40 lbs) without much effort. Sierra & little jacks were almost a problem, a good problem. We never caught any snapper or hawkfish? Offshore it was hard to keep a lure in the water without schools of sailfish swarming them?

The rainy season ran a little long this year, ending just a few days before we got there in early Dec. It constantly rains for months then shuts off like a light switch usually sometime in Nov. Which is why the offshore fishing hadn't quite turned on yet but it seemed each day we saw more life offshore, spotting more & more sails each day. They were just reluctant to bite unless you hit 'em on the head with a live bait. Although dorado were on every current line that seemed to get closer each day. In fact it was the last day we got that dodo out of the surf.

This time the inshore was completely sick, with a whole different array of species but no roosters? Lots of sm. to med. snappers with plenty of larger ones lost on light gear as well as a few on heavy gear. The hawkfish is similar is size & shape to a spotty with the attitude / teeth of a snapper. We could catch them at will near any rock on this one particular point & as we fought each one you would swear was going to be much bigger than the last, until you saw it.

We did hit one spot specificaly for big roosters but only caught the big jacks, great fun as well but I'm with you on the roosters. One of my favorite fish to catch.
