Pez Gallo is one of my favorite fishes to catch. Where are the best places around SC to do so and when. Will be back in late April.
tnx

You wouldn't see one until August. I heard of a forty pound fish caught by the pangueros near La Manga. No one targets them but there are a few around. Your best bet would be to get out of town and find where land meets rock I'd believe. You can catch some hand sized ones by Pilar in the fall.
Expect some sierras around in April! and maybe even some mystery fish. There are some great pargo and cabrilla around the islands and rocky coastlines. Look for the birds. Yellowtail and corvina might also be found in close.

| The lady on the kayak today said she saw some dolphin-like fins out there, or small dolphin. Her children in the other kayak thought she might be a little crazy, but I know that she's not. I told her yes indeed, those are the mystery fish!

We caught this fish in summer 2005 at san pedro island, in much warmer water of course:
We also caught this one in Puerts Vallarta, November 2007, water not as warm but nothing close to our current SC water temps:
We were casting to the and from the distance the fins looked "dolphin like", not as pointy as they looked once we had it on the boat.
If water wasn't so cold right now I would bet the mistery fish are toros, jacks. But with our waters being so cold right now it just weird to have them here i would guess.

That looks a lot like a fish I caught in Hawaii called the ulua...aka trevally. There are several species but they look just like that. The jack crevalle we catch in Texas looks like that as well but seems to have more yellow on it and the mouth is a little different. They Hawaii fisherman catch the trevally from the shore a lot so that would fit in with what you are seeing. I have also caught jack crevalle from shore so it could be either one. My experience with both is they are a hell of a fighter..long, tough battle. In Texas we didn't eat them..just let them go.
Since we are not fishing and just talking.... on the thread for the best fish I would vote for another Hawaii snapper they call the onanga. In Texas we called it the queen snapper. They are caught very deep and are really, really good fish. Anyone tried fishing with squid and circles at about 1000 feet around sc? We catch them in Texas along the continental shelf where there are rocks. They are worth the grind.

They're still around!
A couple teenage girls reported a fish the size of their kayak swam by. Dad said to cut that length in half. Upon talking with them, I determined that it was not a seal. They said in had two fins. They're still out there!!!!!!!

OK, folks, they are NOT African Pompanos, and the picture by PQ (Fernando?) Almada is close...but I am not certain it is the same fish. Sorry for the delay but within 2 days I will be back on my own computer where I can reduce the size of my 2 MB pictures so that you can see the fins.

Sorry for the delay, but now you experts can chime in and try to identify the member of the jack family that owns these fins. There were several schools of these near Pilar and the fish were in the 15-25 pound category.

I agree it look like a member of the jack family. Can't wait for you to catch one so we get a better look and ID.
Until then thanks for the puzzle...
