yes your right mis, also known as third wonder of Penasco.
Are they still letting people in to use the facilities for $100 pesos a day?

The fish he caught has a sweeping tail fin while the Burrito Grunts is smaller and forked.

I personally only been out to tess a handful of times, had some drinks (happy hour), pool was nice, great beach area no rocks, I don't know if they are still letting people use the facilities.

The locals call that fish a Pescado Extranjero, cause they can't identify it, I know Dan will correct me because he is an expert on extrajeros, they use them to deep fry as pargo at many places in town.

Thanks to everyone in trying to figure out the mystery fish. I caught this on the rocks at low tide in the 1st Estuary. It hit the lure about 15 ft from shore. It immediately went into the rocks. I was lucky to get him out, but since I was pretty much on top of him, I could pull him out. I have a lot of education in Fisheries Biology and can honestly say, I have never seen this fish. At first I thought this was a Colorado Snapper, after looking into some of the links that you guys sent, I think it might be a juvenile Pacific Dog Snapper. Don't blow me up on this, I am just speculating. I obviously don't know or I wouldn't of reached out to you all for help in this identification.

They are renting space out under some terms but do not know what the terms are. Some times lots of people coming and going on the weekend evenings and large bags of trash to be picked up. You can rent a condo there also.
I did not hijack the thread, YOU KNOW WHO DID !!

That fish is most likely a Golden Snapper, Lutjanus Inermis

You said the fish had fangs - only corvina and snappers have canine teeth.... and your fish ain't a corvina.
Mullet snapper, golden snapper, and gray snapper all look very similar to each other when they are that size.
My money still says your fish was a golden snapper.
