What an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience! This was hands down the best fishing trip I’ve ever been on. I caught the biggest fish of my life—a 200-pound monster marlin

—and it’s a memory I’ll never forget.

The captain and crew were absolutely amazing from start to finish. They were knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and worked hard to make sure everyone had an unforgettable time. Their experience and dedication made all the difference.

If you’re looking for an exciting fishing adventure, I highly recommend booking with them. Whether you’re an experienced angler or it’s your first trip, you won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait to come back!

Great and clear communication.  Great mate and captain, both hardworking. Great boat and equipment.

I did a half-day trip.  I wanted to catch marlin, but we settled with a beautiful Dorado (Mahi Mahi) fish, well over 30lbs.  Such a fun fight!

The coordinator Johnny was fast at answering all of my questions.  I asked about getting a license online, which saved us time and allowed us to leave a few minutes early. 

It does take about 20-30 mins to get out to fishing waters. Before that, we stopped for picking up live and frozen bait for $30 cash, which I had asked about ahead of time.  Then about half way into the trip, the mate changed out the lewers and that’s when we got the hit! Just trust the process!

About an hour later, one of the frozen baits was hit but not hooked, and thats when we saw her.  A huge marlin!  Sadly she did not want to bight for anything…  just one of those days, but the captain and crew tried hard!  I gave the captain a couple of cold ones to keep up the motivation.

Once back, the mate and dock folks brought my fish up to the local cleaner, La Filetera, who charged a $15 cleaning fee and then a $3+ fee per pound, which wasn’t as economical as Griselda’s Smokehouse, but Griselda’s was on the opposite side of the marina.

Next time I would ask if I could get dropped off there instead, since Griselda can also smoke your fish.  I will say that La Filetera was able to accomodating a quick fillet, vacuum seal and flash freeze.  I was able to pickup my fish later that night!

The boat had a toilet and a lower seating area in the shade.  It has two fighting chairs and the crew used 5 poles in at a time on average. Overall I highly recommend this crew and boat!

Happy Fishing

Although we didn’t catch any fish the captain and crew were trying their best. Nine miles out and located a school of dolphins and birds and tuna below on the sonar and circled the area and changed tactics but tuna just wouldn’t cooperate. However, the dolphins jumping around close to the boat at least made up for not catching any fish. Oh well that’s fishing. In my years of fishing, the day before a rainstorm, the fish shut down, always. The next day it rained cats and dogs. Impossible to plan for the weather like that when you’re planning months ahead. We’ll just have to try it again!

We fished Cabo with three generations, my 12 year old son, my 70 year old father, and me. We only caught one fish, but it was a roosterfish, which made it special. When we finally got a bite, the captain made sure my son was the one who brought it in, and that meant a lot to us.

We also saw sting rays, sea lions, and a couple of whales, which made the day exciting even when the fishing was slow. The crew worked hard and stayed positive the entire time. My son and father both had a great experience, and that is what mattered most. 🎣

Another amazing trip with Cesar on the Mystic Marlin!!  And to top it off we also had the pleasure of his Son as first mate.  After our trip last year with Cesar, we made sure to request him again and we were not disappointed!  This crew are true fishermen through and through.  No electronics needed, just experience.  And they put us on the fish…again! It was amazing to watch Cesar and his Son work as a team to chase the bait and set the hook.  I cannot say enough good things about them.  Even when we showed our inexperience with landing large game, he was right there with kindness guiding us through the whole process to get the catch to the boat.  Never missed a smile or a positive word, even when we’d miss the fish due to our mistakes.  If you want the true experience of a lifetime, book these guys!  Trust me, you’ll have many stories to share once you’re back.  And for a bonus tip, bring breakfast tacos and drinks for the captain and crew.  You’re generosity will be returned ten times over :)
