Take lots of sunscreen and your own snacks you might prefer something more ice on the boat and be patient because you never know when that big fish is going to strike

Just check the weather, call the captain, know what you want to catch. Go with a live bait charter. Easy money?

Started catching fish the minute we dropped a line in the water. High tide helped, but the fish were plentiful and varied. We were about a mile from the reef and caught plenty.

Fishing is a hit or miss sport so do your own research before you book a trip there is no guarantee you will catch fish the captains will do their best to put you on fish but sometimes they aren’t biting San Jose del Cabo can be a great place to catch fish depending on the weather and time of year please keep that in mind go luck and tight lines

Hard to say with one afternoon of fishing but if I had to choose Florida (fished numerous times) All my charters now would be in Cabo. More variety in the same area-you don’t spend 2 hrs of you trip getting to the good spot. I’m curious to give it a few more tries and see what it offers!

Chilo worked his ass off to get my two kids aged 7 and 10 onto fish. We came home with 2 dorado and a couple more reef fish which was our idea. Great knowledge and fun to be with. Like I said he worked hard for 5 hours straight. That’s all I can ask of a fishing charter. I’d fish with him again.

The Marlin Hunter put us on fish right out of the harbor. Benito, mahi and even a striped marlin hook up. Even though we did not land it the morning stayed positive with a dozen yellowfin tuna. First mate was great and was helpful. They helped me get the fish to a processor and it will be ready to take home. Thanks amigo.

Capt. Jorge and David made the day fun. The boat is large and comfortable. It is unfortunate that the fish did not cooperate but we caught enough Bonito to keep it interesting and get some ceviche and sashimi made. Took the rest in town for dinner, local restaurant cooked it for us. Also reeled in an ice skipjack on the way home. Would recommend
