Those are nice Leigh, they look like the ones we used to get off the coast of Cali free diving back in the day. There were some huge one's around the Coranado Islands that some of the crazies would get diving at night.
Most everywhere in their range, there are always some "homeguard" yellowtail that hang out all year. Until they're caught, that is! Not the big bruisers that cruise in and out as the seasons change, but smaller fish.
The roosters are indeed a blast! Watching them chase your lure as you cast to them is like watching a billfish come up on a trolling lure. You'll get a lot of interested fish that will follow nearly to the boat, but not all are takers. Fish close in along the beach north of Lobos. You'll see schools of baitfish as dark shadows in the sand with "holes" in the middle of the school. That's a rooster laying in wait. Cast right near the school and they'll come charging out. They'll only fall for it a couple of times, then stop responding. Move up the beach to a different bait school and start over. By the time you come back down the beach and start over, they will have forgotten and it's game on again.
Also, be sure you've got heavy enough tackle to land and release them quickly. You can play them completely out; they will fight to the death. In the hot, shallow water, they easily go belly up on release and don't recover. On a good release, you'll see them bolt right out to deeper water.
Sight fishing at its finest and I'm anxious to get back and catch a few this year!!

The day the wind came up I noticed that Ted's truck was at his place, so Don and I went by to say hi and do some bench fishing. He was very generous with his information, and since we were intested in coming back for some Roosters he shared some good information about them with us. After talking for some time Don and I mentioned we were going to go into Puerto libertad for some eats since it wasn't that far down the new highway, and the wind wasn't going to let up anytime soon anyway. Ted decided to join us and we had a good time, and ate at two different locations. The best place being the second place we stopped at, the open front joint that just made Tacos; just as Ted told us it would be..LOL

He can't get it from his phone at the hospital if that's what you mean.
That Don in the picture holding up two Yellowfin, and he also open up this thread to get me, the shy one, to post about our trip.

ummm... that's not so, either....
Yellowfin tuna are readily caught in the SOC from Guaymas and south.
OK, I've been enough of a jerk... time to take my OCD medicine I guess.
