Thanks, Nena! My lack of photographic skills help to campflage the 27or more people in the picture. There were several other boats on the water this
morning at 7am just outside of the marina chasing the roosterfishSkipjack Joe - 11-5-2007 at 05:10 AM
They're all probably snagging them with treble hooks. That's how they fished for them from the wall at Escondido. Mexican fishing regulations? They're
for the gringos.Bob and Susan - 11-5-2007 at 06:52 AM

The boat in the picture is getting live sardinias; they have one of the two bait cooperative netters on board. The sardinias are thick in against the
rocks. The fishermen on the rocks use trebles to snag sardinias, then use those for roosterfish bait.
There are also usually half a dozen boats in the morning fishing off the wall for the roosters. They've been thick in there for a while. For the
locals, roosterfish, especially these small ones, are good eating. There have also been a few sierra in the mix.
Here's one we got at the islands, we've caught them about the same size near the marina...
