I took a good friend of mine on an all day trip for Marlin.  My friend Tasha had never been on the ocean and the largest fish she ever caught was a 3 pound cat fish.  We met Mexican Mike at 6:00 AM and he helped us with our fishing licenses and answered a bunch of questions.  At 6:15 we met the Captain and first mate.  By 6:30 we were on our way to get bait and fishing.  The first mate Indy was full of knowledge and patience with my friend.  At about 9:30 we hooked a Marlin and Tasha got the pole.  Indy was was so helpful and patient with her.  He also had a good time talking smack which had Tasha laughing.  It was perfect.  She landed a 100 pd marlin and after pictures it was released.  We brought several more to the boat that day but on more takers.  Oh well that’s fishing.

My thanks to Salvador, Mexican Mike, American Mike, and the crew for making wonderful memories for Tasha and I.  We will be back next year.

Before I end this, the boat was super clean, and well taken care of.  The fishing tackle is Shimano, and also well taken care of.  Great boat, Great crew, and a Great experience.  Thank you

Great trip!! Captian and first mate were fantastic!
Caught three Dorado and one Bonito. Hooked one Striped Marlin but pulled the hook, my fault. Saw a large pod of dolphin, around 150 or more. And enjoyed feeding the seal and pelican with the left over baitl on the way into the harbor. Have fished here before with other flleets. Highly recommend this fleet and crew for the price!

I will start by saying that our trip experience didn’t start out too well. I booked through Fishing Booker and my confirmation indicated I could pay the remainder of the balance by cash or PayPal on the day of our trip. When we arrived and met Mexican Mike, he told us no, that we had to pay in cash. I hadn’t planned for that, so we had to find an ATM machine. Wow…we paid about $60 in ATM fees to withdraw cash. So make sure you take cash.

The next thing was buying our live bait. Make sure you have the exact change for that. We didn’t, so instead of getting change, we got extra fish (which we didn’t need).

Endy and Ismael were extremely friendly and very hardworking. Ismael seemed to work non-stop changing lures, rods, bait, you name it. We caught 2 Dorado that were too small to keep, but we kept trying for the remainder of the day. It didn’t seem to be a very good fishing day, but that’s the nature of fishing so you can’t be upset about that. It definitely wasn’t their fault.

We came back in around 2:45 and on the way back to the marina, a giant seal came up to the back of the boat and we were able to feed the remainder of the bait fish to it, so our extra fish were not wasted.

Since we are not normally into fishing, we probably wouldn’t do it again. If we were, I would definitely use El Budster. (Was just a once in a life time experience thing for us.)

Slow day saw lots of sea lions and dolphins very cool beautiful weather! Caught 100 inch striped marlin right at the end!

Caught 2 marlin on a very rough day. Would have been a great experience anyway but the fish topped it off
