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.

Ric Sorenson Rooster, Jack, Sierra

Ric is one of the nicest guys on the planet, and a crazy avid fisherman..

Ric said they saw huge roosters up to 70 lbs, but they just werent hungry today...He thinks they were only interested in spawning.  If thats true the next few days those giant fish should be ready to eat!  

I will get the cameras from the guys and post some pictures

Quick fishing report May 24th

Inshore fishing

It has been super with lots of big roosters, yellowtail, amberjack, jack cravellle, and sierra mackerel. On both fly and spin... Just lots of nice big fish...if you want big roosterfish, now is the time to come on down. I love May and June, and I am full bore rooster fever right now...Ya Baby! Nothing like big roosters.

Offshore fishing

Lots of striped marlin around right now...Problem is they are being picky bastards... Anything over 30# fluro and they are refusing it...And refusing most of the time or just sinking out of view. Frustrating on light tackle.. Very difficult on the fly... Small dorado around under 10 lbs, most we saw I consider bait sized fish...

Tight Lines,

Grant,

Just wanted to let you know the fishing trip on Wednesday was awesome. I didn't know what to expect for my fist time, but it was better than expected. Arturo and Jacob were great as guides. They were very helpful and fun to fish with. We had many opportunities at roosters and more than I can count with Sierras. Your services come highly recommended in my book and I look forward to fishing with you in the future.

Thanks again. The fishing was the highlight of the whole trip

Grant thanks to your team for a great day on the water. We had a great shot a a marlin the second day but we could not get a hook up. I will be back to see you again next year. Still looking for that first marlin on a fly!

Fishing update

Inshore:  

The inshore fishing has been very good.  We are catching big roosterfish, both on the fly and light tackle.  To catch the big roosterfish, its a way away though and only on full day trips...We are catching roosters closer on 5 hr trips, just not as big..  The sierra mackerel and jack cravelle fishing has been very good for both the fly and light tackle.. Some really big jacks have been aggressive and the are true powerhouses to catch...The sierra mackerel are a mixed bunch size wise and we are catching 5 to 10 lb fish... Sierras are super strong and fast fish that taste great.  i think they are the most undervalued fish in Baja.  Great fun on light spin and fly with lots of lighting quick action.

Offshore:

The striped marlin fishing is so-so close to Cabo and if you are willing to drive 50 miles away, you can get into some good action on most days..  On full day trips, we fish 30 to 35 miles radius from Cabo...Our fishing grounds include Gordo banks to Golden Gate banks on the Pacific, but when we go to say Finger Banks or Los Frailes, we have to charge a bit extra for gas..

Not many dorado around, but a few strays here and there.  Tuna is kind of slow... Offshore fishing for tuna and dorado will start to pick up in June and go full swing come July when the warmer water moves our way.

Tight Lines,

Grant
