Many customers come to me asking about Rooster fishing and I talk them about Bat Islands (when offshore) or Catalinas islands (for inshore fishing). This time, our clients wanted to fish for full day, so we decide to go to Bat islands (Punta Blanca or Playa Blanca) at the north side of Papagayo.
Two days before I saw some bonitos schools at Coco beach, so, we started the fishing trip trying some “Bonitos” at Coco beach. The Bonitos were hungry and after 30 minutes we had enough bait to fish all the day then we started to run. To get the Rooster fishing grounds take us around 70 minutes, when we get there the bait was ready and the lines touched water around 9 am. Starting November thru late april rooster fishing in this region (Bat islands) is excellent and they don’t make us wait to much time before the first one was behind the tuna bait at the downrigger. This kind of bait is great for rooster fishing when we cut it butterfly style. At the end of the day (around 3 pm) we had released 5 Rooster on average of 60 pounds and two Mahi-mahi. We take the Mahi fillets for our clients take home.
