As quickly as an opportunity happens, it can fade. Patience and humility run neck-and-neck with technical ability-roosterfish are earned after long hours in the bright sun scanning for cruising fish. Oh yeah, it is like that.īut, polished stalking and angling skills, along with a sense of adventure, are not the only keys to success.

It often demands sprinting into casting range, then firing every cast possible to a fish, including a potential neck-deep double-haul while crashing waves slam saltwater in your face. When a foraging rooster is spotted, an angler must remain calm and collected while tapping into their own inner-predatory instincts. The 'beach fishing game’ is simple yet demanding: roosters cruise the shallow water off beaches, anglers acting more like hunters must be focused and stealthy. Ranging from Baja Mexico south to Peru, these fish are climbing angler’s wish lists…and climbing fast. Unmistakable because of their expansive comb dorsal fin and found only in the tropical waters of the eastern Pacific Ocean, roosterfish are a one-of-a-kind-gamefish.
