This is still the area for the most action and the most variety. This is where I've been sending more of the first-timers or families or when kids are here. There's no shortage of stuff to catch most days. Get bent. Have fun. Pull on some fish! Just go have a ball. There's rooster fish; some dorado; a shot at wahoo; maybe a marlin; trigger fish; sierra; pargo; cabrilla...and lots of bonito.
A word on these bonito before you turn your nose up at it. These are "bonito dientero." Toothed bonito...also called white bonito. In addition to being tough fighters, the meat is pink and white not dark like the bonito you might be used to. It cooks up great and we encourage folks to keep some. After it's cooked or made into sashimi, most folks can't tell that it's not tuna. Tastes pretty good!
