Great day on Roosterfish at Punta Arenas de La Ventana
Another great day of fishing with Fishermen's Fleet. Got a personal best today estimated by my panguero to be about 55#'s and my daughter got her
first ever around 30#s. Even got a nice 20# Cubera Snapper for dinner. Now that the winds have settled down the water should be warming quickly.
Things should really be turning on from here.

Rooster fish are a Jack Crevalle with frills. Jack's aren't famous for being good eating, but they put up one hell-uv-a fight. There're a lot more
Jacks than Roosters. Why? Who knows? Maybe something about their reproduction habits, or possibly competition at some point in their life cycle?

Ask for Lalo in La Ventana. I don't recall his last name (sorry) but everyone knows him. His house is on the west side of the road as you enter La
Ventana.

Hola tiotomasbcs,
tailhunters is jonathon roldan and fisherman's is davey jones, two different but very good outfitters.
i have numbers of pangeros in the las arenas/muertos bay area that are inexpensive. however, they do not provide the amenities of the outfitters:
transportation, rooms, food, water, ice and fishing gear.
last year, they charged us $ 140.00 U.S. for an older super panga with a 90 horse honda 4 stroke and $ 100.00 U.S. for an older bare bones panga with
a 50 horse honda 4 stroke. both are very adequate. fish cleaning is included but cost of bait is not.
i can't quite remember the gas prices then but, they may have raised their prices accordingly. it'll still be a bargain !
they launch out of muertos bay when it's slightly windy and from las arenas when it's not.
i'll be more than happy to give the names and phone numbers to you or anyone else.
BIEN SALUD, DA RAT
