Right on the front page of the mexican-fish.com website the author mentions his extensive experience with all the variety and it made me realize I need to spend at least 50% of my next trip to Mexico fishing with a sabiki.

I use almost exclusively Sabiki rigs with Size 2, 4, 6 or 1/0 hooks, tipped or not tipped with cut squid, and explore the bottom. A key here is make sure your line strength is at least 40/30. Both Pata and Barco fish for "big fish" using more traditional approaches, such as yo-yo iron, fly-lined live bait, and trolling. Barco and I catch a lot of fish, for example 1,898 fish of 86 different species, in 65 panga trips during calendar 2015.

I used Mexfish to ID a few of my new lifers from my last trip to Baja.  I can only imagine what the sabiki will get on the big reef down there.
You can't catch them from your computer chair.
