BIG FISH!!!
Full Day Trip - All Included on March 19, 20265 adults

Booked a full day with hopes of lots of big fish. Fishing was tough and slow., not going to lie, but thats fishing. saw lots of Whales and Marlin jumping so that was awesome. Got a nice Mahi to the boat that got away, few hours later a nice skip jack tuna. After 6 plus hours we pressed on. Few good bites and all of a sudden, BOOM!!!! Fish on. My 19 year old son took the rod and began the fight of a lifetime. We had hooked a 10ft - 130 plus pound Striped Marlin!!!! Captian and crew are top notch, never quit, and got us on the fish of a lifetime. Boat is excellent, crew is excellent, Captian is first class. 5 Stars,. Would book again everyday of the week if i could. WE WILL BE BACK.

Reported catch:
Striped Marlin
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

Birthday Marlin fishing
Half Day Trip – All included on April 15, 20262 adults

We went out chasing Marlin for my birthday while down in Cabo. Captain Casey and crew were awesome, his wife even packed up a little birthday cake and candle. Captain Casey is one of the last remaining guys from the early 80s who have spent their life fishing Cabo, with some awesome stories and knowledge to share. Spotted a couple Marlin but cards wernt in our favor this trip, but thas how bill fishing goes sometimes! We will defnitely book again for round two next trip down.

As a Hawaiiian born and son of a fisherman I had a rod in my hand from my earliest memories. I fished with my father around the world including the Indian Ocean,Hawaii, Bay of Bengal, Gulf of Siam, West Coast USA. As I became older the attraction of fishing in Cabo San Lucas became my dream, I started in the fleet in 1983, moved to the Cape and never looked back.Its been 34 years of hardcore fishing thruout the Baja Peninsula, Sea of Cortez, and the west coast of mainland Mexico Life is good and we are out again tomorrow!
