Mario was very good at putting us onto the Bonita.  I booked a 6 hour trip and we went about 10 miles north in the bay.  Trolling was tough all day but he started seeing the Skipjacks surfacing and quickly switched tactics to sight casting while still trolling.  We landed 2 and missed several.  Mario made us fresh Ceviche on the boat which was amazing.  He was constantly monitoring other captains and talking with his families other boats.  Not many were catching that day.  Next time I will...

Burton Fishing, and particularly Mario and Luis, delivered a great experience…my first off-shore fishing trip. Regrettably, the fish decided to stay largely away that day - and not just for us apparently - and I lost a big, beautiful dorado at the boat. I didn’t go home skunked though and was able to provide for dinner that evening.

We had an excellent time with Cpt Mario!  Not only was it our group’s first time in Puerto Vallarta, but also our first time fishing off a boat in open water.  Cpt Mario had basically everything we needed other than whatever drinks/snacks we wanted to bring.  He helped us set up the rods to catch live bait, and then further set up the larger rigs to use the live bait on.  We hooked a huge sailfish that gave a huge jumping fight, but it got away while reeling in.  We landed several Skipjack...

We had a fantastic day out on our 8hr fishing day with Captain Mario and first mate José. Boat was in tip- top shape, equipment was cared for and we caught a good quantity of Jack Crevale fish during our trip. The action was amazing! We even had a triple header - it was wild! Captain Mario was very knowledgeable and courteous and we would highly recommend his boat “Burton 3”!

Had an exciting time between my wife and I we caught and kept 16 Bonita,( average 10#s each), hooked but lost over 10, catch but released over 10 skip jack. Captain was great, respectful, polite, eager to please, and very knowledgeable on the water as a guide! Thanks for a great day as we are celebrating our 19th wedding anniversary. Will highly recommend these guys to all our friends! AAA +!
