I made sure to contact Ricardo weeks before our trip to let him know we wanted to target rooster fish and go bottom fishing. Once we got to the boat we found out Ricardo was not going out with us, instead Ceasar would be our captain. We quickly realize that Ricardo had not communicated with Ceasar our plans. We did end up catching 4 rooster fish, a marlin and a mahi before 8 am. All was going well until I brought up we wanted to go bottom fishing. Ceasar was not happy and at first did not want to do it. After some word exchange, he begrudgingly took us bottom fishing. Then it got worse from there. He yanked the fishing pole off my 17 year old daughter’s hands saying she was not strong enough for this type of fishing. My daughter had fished around the world with me. The 20 inch blueline tilefish we were catching were a joke compared to what she has landed before. The captain was just plain rude. Such a shame because the start of the trip was epic. If you book with them, make sure Ricardo, the captain and everyone knows what u want to target before u leave. And if you have daughters or children, beware, Ceasar might not be the best accommodating captain.

Even before the fishing day,  communication with the captain was wonderful.  I had booked this trip with my mom and two pre-teen sons and had a few questions which were answered extremely quickly.  The captain was very straight forward with all aspects,  and wanted to cater our trip to our liking,  which was wonderful.  We chose to chase marlin,  right away in the morning we had a very large fish surface and we went after it.  It went deep and never chased. We ended up catching a skip jack tuna while trolling with no other takers.  After a couple hours,  the captain asked if we wanted to try bottom fishing so the boys could catch some fish.  We agreed and ended up with 17 tilefish in less than 30 mins. We then shifted back to trolling and saw another marlin,  but no luck.  The captain and his first mate went way above and beyond trying different baits, presentations, and locations.  To me this was a world class experience made possible by Ricardo, our Captain.  When we return to Cabo, we will absolutely be booking here again!

Morning started off slow, but the capt and mate never gave up. The mate switched out baits every 45 minutes or so. We didn’t have our 1st bite until about 10:00, unfortunately we didn’t connect. About 20 minutes later we finally hooked up and landed a wahoo they estimated to be 75-80 lbs.  after icing our wahoo we were back fishing for about 20 minutes and were hooked up again, this time we hooked up to a black marlin which they estimated to be 250lbs. After a 2 hour fight we finally landed the fish. Great day on the water!

We all know why it’s called fishing. Today’s trip we did some catching.

We met the crew at the agreed time. The crew worked hard to make our experience first class.
They are experts in catching fish in their local waters.

There were three of us and we all enjoyed our time on the boat.

Highly recommended using Fish Tale’s if you’re looking to catch fish and enjoy the ride.

I had a great time on Fish Tale’s with Captain Ricardo and his First Mate Jose Alberto! This was my first trip out here in Cabo and when I come back I’ll go with Fish Tale’s again. These guys are great fishermen, they put me on 5 Striped Marlin and could of caught more but I was pretty tired so we cut the trip short.
