You're going to love it down there, Robin. The fishn's fun, good food and, unless things have changed, you can drink the water. If you're staying nearby, Los Barriles is a good small town. The scenery is beautiful.
Good luck

Yup, we are staying at the Buenavista Resort http://goo.gl/maps/26uF7 just south of there!
I am SO excited to see that blue water!

Basket vs. no basket -
Sightfishing 'Roos might be the ONLY time a basket won't be mandatory . When hunting Roosterfish , there usually isn't a billion of them around , you're spending most of your time driving/walking around looking for something to cast at .
What to do if you don't see any ? Blind cast for the other cool fishes that live in the same water . Cast at bait , structure , shadows , whatever .... I fish the East Cape to catch fish , not to watch and wait . Since this is my mode of operation , I use my Hipshooter every single session . In fact , I'd rather not fish than fish without it - much easier on your flyline , and better for your sanity , not having water drag/tangles/abraded line . I just got back from a trip (late April/early May) and saw a LOT of people living out the 'running down the man' fantasy - I saw NO 'Roos hooked by any of them , and most that I saw were walking or driving along , making one cast perhaps every mile or two .... meanwhile Candida and I worked the bait , fished the rocks , and hooked plenty of interesting Fishes .
Just my opinion -
