Jesus and Ricky did a great job. We trolled going out but did not catch. Then we bottom fished and caught a lot of fish. Since it was just my wife and I we only kept a few Snapper and Grouper. We even saw some whales.

Overall, this fishing trip was amazing! We caught 8 fish including 3 Mahi Mahi. Francisco helped us with our reeling as we’ve only been out 3 times. The only thing that would’ve made this trip really spectacular would be to have a chair that swiveled or fishing belts to hold your fishing rod while reeling in.

Special 6 hour trip for Al Foss on February 26, 2023
Just want to give a big Thank You to Captain Jesus and his crew Sergio and Armando. We have been on 5 charters in Cabo this crew was the BEST!!!! They worked hard the entire time we fished and we had a very successful day catching Dorado and Bonita and seeing several Marlin. The boat was laid out perfect and everything we needed was ready. Can’t Thank Jesus enough for creating a lifetime of Memories. We will be back to fish with Jesus again. I would recommend this crew to everyone!!!! Thanks Jesus!!!!

After having some bad experiences on different charters in Baja, The owner Richard bought his boat in 2019, wanting to start something that people could enjoy. He went out and hired the best captains Lizandro and Jesus and deckhand that both could speak English. With their father and most of the family members being fishermen, they grew up in the local town and have been fishing since little kids. They know how to fish, enjoy what they do, and will work hard for their customers to provide an unforgettable time and help make memories on the water. Almost all of the customers so far have said they felt like they were fishing with family on their trips.
