The Explorer stayed hot on January 11 with a few excellent Dorados.
They also moved inshore and deployed our tried-and-true Rooster Fish tactic. First step was to grab some 4-6lbs. Bonitas in with the Planer/Spoon rig:
Then we bridle the Bonita and send to down to the reef.
The tactic yielded this excellent Rooster Fish catch which was released after the photo.
