Roncador

Here's a decent sized yellow-finned croaker from the surf at San Cristobal between Cabo San Lucas and Todos Santos. I have caught croaker on the Pacific side from this area north to Abreojos. Known as Roncador in Spanish, they take smaller shrimp imitations off the bottom. There was a deep spot in the sand, you can see it directly behind me in the photo, that produced many fish over several weeks but unfortunately it filled in and I had to find another spot to fish. Fortunately, the search for a new spot led to finding the rocks where the giant roosterfish hung out.
