Ha, with the rite gear, same as in a boat, it would be much easier off the shore. I've done it many times off of San Quintin shores, past Ensenada Mexico,

Now that was terribly bad, Jack... ugh! :rofl:

Truth be known, I've fished that location with Ted and the rooster fishing is a total blast. They'll charge a lure just like a marlin; it's incredible to watch. And this is a species I've always released, mostly because it's a member of the jack family and the meat is supposedly very dark and not that good to eat. HOWEVER, in recent talks with a few folks, I've been told that's just nonsense, that prepared correctly, roosterfish is excellent table fare and comparable to a fine cut of filet mignon. Who knew? Maybe, just maybe, one will make it to the grill for a taste test in the future.

As kids we used to sell Suckers we would catch on Trebble Hooks from The Elkhart River in Northern Indiana. This river was known to catch on fire and be covered with a chemical glaze. Never the less,we would take these giant fish to the pool hall and guys that looked like Sonny Liston would pay us for them and swear they were the best smoking fish in the area.They were the worst fish ever in my 9 year old opinion...until I tasted a Rooster-tail.... tasts worse than suckers from the Elkhart river.

We used to gig suckers as kids in the clear, cold water streams of PA. Nice white meat, but bony as all get out. Suckers actually remind me a lot of bonefish, now that I think about. There were lots of folks that were glad to get 'em. Go figure.
