· #31 Posted June 17, 2019 Awesome pics guys. I can’t wait for my trip in mid July. Hopefully I get into a nice rooster while I’m there for a week. Staying at the Pueblo Bonita sunset resort. 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

· #33 Posted June 17, 2019 Wow!! Surf Fish Dan congratulations for a very nice job. I fish for the same species on mainland Mexico. Never got that lucky with so many nice specimens in a short timeline like you guys accomplished. 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lost few fish as well swimming with my lures stuck in their mouth. Temp below 70 during the first week of June. 63 in the mornings. Good luck in both trips..

· #35 Posted June 17, 2019 How hot is Cabo, normally, during the peak summer roosterfish season? I didn't realize that Sierra mackerel get that big. 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
· #36 Posted June 18, 2019 Peak for surf fishing roosters in Cabo seems to be May thru July with (it seems) mid June to end of June (though I have caught them in December too!) based on my success (and lack of) and my friends who fish their as well. Hot is relative..I find it to be comfortable compared to mainland Mexico during peak season rooster fishing. I been fishing there every year from late June to early July for the last 25 years and it averages mid 80's on the pacific side and 90's in town, wind make a difference. Had a couple years with some humidity but never nearly as humid as the mainland! I also have had some very cool years due to the wind on the pacific side. Never a bad time in Cabo as long as you are fishin!! 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
· #38 Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) Apparently the (Pacific) cubera snappers there aren't the same as the ones around Florida. Another name is pargo, I remember seeing Offshore Adventure shows with the Ocearch shark guy (Chris Fischer) catching/spearing them.

Buy one and tell us! I know this post is more than a year old, but hey... I started it so... Here is a couple of pics of the 12' travel rod my buddy bought while in Cabo at Jansen Tackle. I recently asked him to borrow it so I could look at it since I might eventually commit and order one. It's lite graphite, K frame style guides, 6 pieces, graphite reel seat. I'd say it is Medium-Heavy powered and the action is moderate-fast, but I can't really recall the feel when I tried it over there. Jansen recently told me he discontinued the 13' version of this travel surf rod. 1 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
· #40 Posted March 12, 2020 How did the rod hold together while you were fishing it? did you have to keep re-adjusting the sections? What a trip btw. I watched all of his YouTube videos and it is a dream to go. You guys crushed that! 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I only did a couple of casts with it... so I can’t say much. The connections are « traditionnal », they are not euro spigots ferrules like the Okuma Nomad or the Daiwa Ardito. It does seem like a pretty tight fit. The connection are unfishished (sanded but no clearcoat), this might make it a more secure connection. I think my buddy checked the tip section and the one below after many casts and might have been mis aligned a bit, but overall it held pretty good. I don’t think he was making power casts tought.... He was mostly fishing a 3oz cabo killer and 3oz Ballyhoo xl. If my flight to Florida isnt canceled in a few weeks I’ll bring it as a carry on and try it out over there, with 3oz lures. Not sure if I could throw more than 4oz.... like a 182mm stick shadd.... 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
