This last week, Grant Hartman had the experience of a lifetime, and something he has not seen in over 20 years. A giant school of roosterfish, right next to the beach, with light winds, with small waves. It was heaven for sure.

“I fished with my guest for the first two days. We were sight-casting for them in the waves. We would see them sideways in the wave, then we would cast the fly over the top of the incoming waves, and when the waves crashed on top of us, we waited until the white water went past us, then we would strip the flies. Huge combs would come out of nowhere and the fish would jump on the fly. It was crazy fishing.

Most of the fish would miss the flies in the waves. My guest wanted me to fish with him, so twist my arm and I got my 10-wt. Loomis out for a spin. It was so cool to see the fish coming through the waves, turn on your fly and comb up. Many times the waves would bust on the fishes backs. I caught five Grandes on the fly while guiding that day and five more the next day. Now that’s what I call guiding.

Actually, I never like to fish when I guide, but my guest has been fishing with me for years and we are close friends. When he saw what was going on and he knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, he wanted me to fish with him…” Grant Hartman, Baja Anglers.
