ÜberFly Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 In Mexico (north of PV (Punta de Mita/Sayulita) I can give the name of an AMAZING guide (search for my post on this). Roosters specifically, depend on time of year (for the best chance). I had 1 chance at a Rooster but didn't hook-up. But we caught a lot of other fish that made for the best guided trip EVER!! Nicaragua (I will post my report as soon as I get back to reality) was a bust - On the Pacific, we found only one charter that even knew what fly fishing was (two twin brothers from California - have only taken one person out before - they were SOOOOOOOOO expensive it wasn't worth it). We hired a panga for the day ($120) but it was so rough I couldn't stand to cast. The guys that took us out, looked at me as if I was from another planet... That being said, even trolling with bait they didn't catch anything (I guess the water has been abnormally warm recently). Nonetheless, depending on the time of year you plan on traveling, and your budget will dictate where you want to go. Quote
Crowsnest Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 I'm actually headed down in 2 weeks time to San Jose Del Cabo. Research shows it's not the ideal time of year to fish for them, but as others have said, they're always present but not in big numbers. The surf in front of my hotel is quite big, and you can't swim there so I'll be forced to try in the early am or late evening from the beach hopefully when the waves die down a bit. Failing that I'll charter a panga for the day while the wife is at the spa.. will likely book through Gordo Banks pangas. I'll post upon my return. Quote
mikeo2 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Posted February 9, 2016 Where are you staying? We just got back from San jose on sunday, stayed at the royal Decameron. I was going to go for a morning with gordo anks but we had some serious wind that would have made fishing miserable. Quote
jjthom2 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Fished out of Los Cabo all day today. Fishing is deadly slow for roosters and dorado - it's off season but El Niño apparently makes it even slower as the warm water pushes the bait out. Quote
