Roosterfish
The dorsal fins say it all. Big eats in beautiful warm Mexican waters
Jack Crevalle
While often overlooked because of other species in the area, Pacific Jack Crevalle attack fast, and are no joke on the fly!

November + December
Many assume the fishing slows down when winter rolls around in east cape. It doesn’t. Massive roosters, dorado, and snapper are in full force in the bay.

We set out after the beautiful Pez Gallo (Rooster-fish) in the Bahia De Los Muertos, or Bay of the Dead. There are plenty of other salty critters lurking below the pangas, too… In 2024, our anglers landed over 15 different species on the fly! Grouper, Dorado, African Pompano, Yellow Fin Tuna and Marlin can show up any given day. We brought 46 clients down for our 2025 season- and every single angler landed a roosterfish! It was truly INCREDIBLE!

Pineapple & Guajillo Chile Chicken Thighs
This recipe is all about layering smoky, sweet, and subtle heat into a simple grilled chicken dish. The marinade comes together with pineapple juice, orange juice, garlic, shallots, and guajillo chiles simmered until everything softens and deepens. Charred fresh pineapple gets blended in for that caramelized edge, and a splash of mezcal adds a touch of smoke. The chicken thighs sit in that mixture for a couple of hours so they really absorb the citrus and chile flavor. Grilling over mesquite brings everything together with a wood-fired richness and a little char on the skin. Right at the end, the sauce gets reduced with fresh cilantro and spooned over the top for a bright, smoky finish.
