No. When I fished Cabo, I caught a striped marlin and a large bull
dorado...but no roosterfish. Since the roosterfish is in the jack
family,
I'd expect a tough fight out of it.

Not surprised, Cabo is the striped marlin capital of the world, and
dorado can usually be found around any patch of floating whatever there.
Both prized catches indeed, but the roosterfish is unlikely to be
encountered by those half-day charters out of Cabo.


It was a full-day charter, and we travelled about 30 miles north along the
Pacific coast of the peninsula.



You'd probably have
as good a chance casting from shore for these beasts.

My most memorable roosterfish encounters have not envolved hooking them,
but observing them at dawn and dusk in secluded coves of the Cortez.
Here's the drill...You are anchored for the night in a remote cove.
Everything is peaceful and relaxed. You're sitting back when all of a
sudden the peace is broken by a powerful commotion on the surface. You
rise to observe these monsters attacking a school of baitfish.

"Jack attack"

Their
quickness and power is something you will never forget.

I relate this story to illustrate you will *never* really see the Cortez
from those half-day charters...and the Cortez is worth seeing if you
have a real sense for adventure in your being. Steinbeck's words were
not idle chatter, the place inspires superlatives for those who go
beyond the immediate, as Steinbeck did.

I loved the Cabo area...and plan to go back. But since neither you nor I
live there, why do you keep talking about it? When you started your east
coat/west coast tournament of urination, you were talking about the coasts
of the US. Why do you now include Mexico?
