Fwd: Cock a doodle do Shep Willis
> After catching a permit in April and a rooster in June, Shep will head to Scotland next month to attempt hooking the Loch Ness monster to wrap up the "I'm the luckiest nine year old fisherman ever" slam. We wish him best of luck.

Grant Hartman Article on FLY FISH THE BONEHEAD
Hi Folks,
My buddy Joe Ballarini has a new web magazine out and its really cool, and has a in depth article on me...You can check out the mag and article at
It has one misprint, he called my Umpqua Roosta fly the Rasta. The rasta is Frank Smyshurst fly... The roosta, started out its life as a big Bob Popovics surf candy with spun deer head, it got cleaned up by my buddy Steve Cali and called the G&S Hybrid and now the Roosta. Its the fly everyone used on the east cape for grande roosters. BTW My buddy Lance Peterson has a very good version called the Mona Lisa that is a killer fly. Heck, the way I look at it, we all copied Popovics flies. Thanks Bob .The master!
Tight Lines,
Grant

Fishing update June 5th
Quick update.. June 5th 2013
Inshore
Lots of big roosters around and the fishing is very good. I bet you wish you were here... This is the time, to catch big trophy roosterfish, jacks and snappers... Nothing like catching a huge trophy rooster, nothing like it!
We are also catching BIG sierra mackerel, cubera and colorado snappers, yellowtail, amberjack and jack cravelle...
There are plenty of marlin offshore, but they can be difficult to catch as they are a bit spooky and only like light leaders, some dorado also...

Quick Fishing Report The bite is just Began June1st 2013
Hi Folks,
Remember a few days ago ,when I said" the roosterfish were not eating, they are spawning" What a difference a few days make. The roosters are starting to eat, and heres the kicker, there are just huge roosterfish right now.. Crazy big in the 50 to 60 lb range right now... David Cooper hooked one on the fly yesterday that was a huge fish, and fought it for 20 minutes and lost it because he was trying to horse that pig in, his brother caught a 20# roosterfish on the fly, and had lots of shots, and they also had a striped marlin come in hot to the teaser, but he refused the fly...
The Bite is on! I love it! This is what we live for, when the big roosterfish are here and want to eat. We are also catching yellowtail, jacks, and sierra mackerel..The next two weeks aught to be great fishing in Cabo
The marlin fishing is picking up, plenty of fish. Just go down in leader size and they are a bit picky right now.. Some are using 50# mono and hooking up. Also some dorado have moved in and we are catching them as a by catch.
I am headed over to the East Cape today for 3 weeks of beach fly fishing for big roosterfish.. The East Cape started out with a bang, and then got really slow for most of May, A few big fish, but not really much to write home about... I heard there was a bit of a bite last week, but I was booked in Cabo... Lets hope the fishing this month is as good on the East Cape as it is in Cabo.
I will keep you posted.
