Yet another spot-on informative Red’s video!
Thank you Richard! Appreciate the props and hope that this info comes in handy on your next outing.
Just got back from Mexico fishing trip and the advice on this video is spot on. Wish I had seen it before my trip!
Thanks cs1089, I hope you had a good trip and appreciate the props.
Headed down in Oct, looking forward to fishing for some roosters! Great tips, thanks!
Awesome. Thanks for gear dump. You answered so many questions
Wow. Very nice info. I love Baja and have dreamed of catching rooster fish. I just started FF but won’t be getting the gear to do this. Thanks for taking me along.
That was good information on casting and lines camera man took one for us 3 drinks and a band-aid
Haha yes good stuff there. Thanks for the support and the chuckle.
My son and I are booked for baja in a couple weeks. This is great information and techniques for my trip. Thanks for taking the time to display real experience fishing for roosters. Sending this to my son to be prepared for action.
You bet, if you need flies, rods, or other gear hit up Red's. We ship crazy fast and have a huge inventory.
Really well put together, thanks.
Much appreciated! Good luck on your upcoming trip.
Excellent video. Super informative.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you. Headed back in June, can't wait!
Biggest Rooster I have ever seen! Great vid.
Thanks! I was so fortunate of landing two of these in two days!
That was a huge Rooster! Congats!!! Yeah those needlefish are a pain.
Thanks, yes. Those needles are the Hyenas of the salt.
🌴 So one of my personal things on salt water fly rods is the rod butt , mine was to short your tucking the rod butt against yourself and it’s to close to reel , not that my gut is overly large but I extended my rod butt 3-1/2”” it doesn’t get in the way of my casting and it’s easier to reel and gives ya a bit more leverage , I did this on my 8 wt and will definitely be doing it on my 10-11 wt rod .
"drive me crazy..." 😁
Such a different ball game this big off shore fishing than trout fishing
Great video!!

Thanks!
Great video. Thanks for the tips. Have you ever fished the Pacific side beaches?
I have not... yet! :)
@@redsflyshop I'm moving to that side of Baja and looking for recommendations on gear to fly fish that side.
I’ve become suspicious of perfection loops over the last couple years. I think the tag end and loop that stick out the side of the knot at almost 90 degrees is susceptible to abrasion. I lost a steelhead with my leader a couple years ago without much of a pull when she took off through shoreline sedges. Seemed like the perfection loop just got sawed off by the sedges I’ve been using a figure 8 loop. Quick to tie, stays close to the running line, climbers use it.
Joe. I get the weakest link in the chain thing where backing weight vs tippet strength is concerned. But how the hell are you supposed to keep that thin hatch stuff from getting dicked up when there's no time to really wrap it neatly in between fish? I've beat up 100+ pound tarpon in 15 minutes or less with plain old 30# dacron and 40 or even 60 pound tippet. How do you manage that spectra stuff on the fly?
These aren't nearly as thin as traditional GSP, I remember using some GSP 10+ years ago that was flat as scary. The Hatch is pretty friendly.
What fly line are you running on your 12 weight? Thanks
RIO Outbound Short Tropical Intermediate, it's a really great line. It has a 30' Intermediate Head. RIO is out of them right now, but they should be back up on our site in January. Here is a link to the exact line, it's even pre-selected. Sign up for the "Email When Available" feature if you want me to notify you when it is back in! redsflyfishing.com/products/rio-tropical-outbound-short-fly-line?variant=15071085723697

Those roosters are “pretty smart fish” because they’re habituated to being chummed with live bait. They’re basically pets. Did you get that grande without bait?
