Joey,
I wished my buddy Sergio was there?but he lives in Mazatlan and I fished Cabo San Lucas, which is the opposite border of Mexico.
Since Roosters roams on open beach ? 20-30 lbs. braid line should be no problem. Just make sure you have a 50 lbs. fluorocarbon shocker leader and you are set to go! That should avoid the Cierras that roams around with the Roosters. The Cabo shores you can run into various size Roosters ranging from teens to fifty + lbs.! I ran into several blitzes ranging from 15-30 lbs. and it was a blast. The best way I can describe it is like a giant bluefish on steroids.
I can?t wait to go back to Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas! I?ve caught many trophy species from Rooster, Snook, Jacks,Wahoo, Dorado, Tuna, Sailfish, Grouper and Marlin. Also, the freshwater Largemouth bass fishing in Mazatlan (El Salto) is world class!
These places are truly big game paradises!
Thank you for asking!
?Crazy? Alberto
Ps: I am sure you are going to have a terrific time at Costa Rica. Good Luck!
