“For the fly-rod enthusiast, there is no better place on the planet to pursue large roosters. The cool water of the Pacific Ocean collides with the warm water of the Sea of Cortez to create a nutrient-rich environment that carries a multitude of aquatic life. With that come baitfish that roosterfish love to feast on. In addition, there are plenty of deep drop-offs very near the shore of the East Cape, where game fish often take shelter when needed. Also, the beaches themselves have a very gradual slope, which is advantageous when it comes to making efficient backcasts. Finally, the water off these beaches often looks as calm as a swimming pool, which means better visibility and a more conducive environment on which to land big roosterfish with your feet planted in the sand.”  credit to Jeff Solis
