Another rooster on the panga Dos hermanos II

Inshore: The action remains the best bet, but very few anglers to take advantage of it. Averaging 4 to 5 roosterfish a day, a few sierras, 4 to 5 dorado, and several black skipjack tuna, and all on spin or fly gear. The roosters, like the dorado, this week were not big, but averaged between 5 to 10 pounds, with a few being larger. There are enough of the smaller dorado, the price for whole fish, on the principle beach near the pier, is down to $1.25 a pound.
