Papagallo fishing

The parrotfish(Nematistius pectoralis), also known as the roosterfish, is immediately recognizable by its distinctive dorsal fin. Its famous roosterfish crest and striking colors make this species one of the most desirable for fishing enthusiasts. It can weigh more than 30 kg.

Many parrotfish are fished with poppers and other surface lures on sandy beaches. But, according to experienced guides, the larger specimens are best caught with live bait.

This fish is endemic to shallow waters from California to Peru.
