Friends in Italy,popper and VJ maniacs, did Maldives, Saychelles, Komodo, Mauritius, Rodrigues, Oman, Dubay…lots of places.
I guess some are “cuter” than ohers and some are more affordable.
If it was up to me, I would go “solo”, no guide, no outfitter, to some way out of the way South Pacific location.

Emilio,
I noticed you cooked roosterfish on your site. I thought those weren’t supposed to be good eating? Did you land from boat or shore? That fish is on my list!
Landed from shore.. as most of my catches are.
For five yearsI thought it wasn’t good either, till the week before that rooster we’re talking about ; I hooked one that inhaled the tube fly and got the hook in a gill (do not ask me how !?!?!). Poor bastard bled like youhave no idea and unhappily had to kill it.
Here’ s the thing: tastes just like tuna but you have to cook itall the way through, otherways it will be extremely tough and sinewy (?).
Good tghing is that it will stay moist and won’t dry uo, and will flake nicely. Beautiful meat and even the belly is good eating and not fishy at all.
Now, i am not advocating that you should go out and chase and slaughter roosterfish the same way people do with yellowtail BUT, if it happens that one fish dosn’t revive well or bleeds a little too much, I wouldn’t feel that bad for taking its life.
A bonus: the “coomb” dries very well and makes for a nice memento…

Ohh yes.. keep chumming us with it and we´ll eat it all…. ; )

Ha! I didn’t know fly fishermen knew about chumming 😉 You will LOVE Mat’s video when I get done editing. Stay tuned

Awesome Trip! Glad you could experience Guatemala! It is a very special place.

Pat ourselves on the back for making that happen. What’s next?
at 1:34 pm
Indeed. Well…it has to be something really good to top this one. Any ideas?

GT’s.
South Pacific.

I think you two need to get out here to the OBX for a big tuna.
at 4:48 am
OBX would be a rush. I might be around there this spring. GT’s where and when?

That’s great. @cabosurfcaster – Wesley Brough, is a shore guide. The three of us should make a video.
