These type of operators aren’t settup to do multiple techniques, so if you book, know you’ll be getting one type of fishing - 90% trolling

Make sure you take something for sea sickness prior to going out even if you you think you have good sea legs.

Check the moon phase table and bring a soft cooler and sweatshirt. Normally see whales that time of year.

Don’t fret about little things the crews there are professionals and if you’re missing something they will get for you.

We missed the big Mahi Mahi catch but was able to enjoy some marlin action instead. Great day on the water

Stripped marlin were our intended target and we were not disappointed. We landed 8 marlin in 4 days and will be returning to do this again!

Don't get drunk the night before if you think you MIGHT GET SEA SICK. SUNBLOCK AND SUNSCREEN ESSENTIAL

The fishing was good in May. I have previously fished in Cabo San Lucas in January and that was better but May was also good.

Great weather and some of the fish were biting.
Not sure if you would come away with a trophy as I'm not expert, but you'll come away with something to eat and show, for sure.

Know what is in season and what is biting while you are in town. It will help with your expectations heading in to the day.

Fishing when the water is warmer will help you find the fish you’re looking for. It’s is whales and fishing then come on down in March!

Capt Juan and the Bluetail. Expert captain and not a poser like many of the "captains" you will find in Mexico. Superb value.

The crew of the boat are everything. Read reviews on boat and check fishing reviews for the month your planning your trip.

Big boats targeting Marlin means fishing all day for that one bite. I have much more rewarding trips on pangas, more fish and a good experience.

Use fish Booker when looking to book a trip be careful there are a lot of people at the marina trying to sell fishing trips

Gretchen Wolf
It is best to book an 8hour trip, if possible, to have more time to catch in case its a little slow. You can always go in early...but had we only been on a short trip, we would not have time to catch that 2nd marlin. Sometimes fishing is great but I think it was a bit slow because of the weather, but it was a great time!

Captain Tony’s restaurant is a “you hook em, we cook em” restaurant, right at the marina. Take your fillet to the restaurant, they’ll cook your fish on the spot. We enjoyed fresh fish tacos on the same day.

Captain louis and Anthony are really awesome. Caught 12 Dorado and they wouldn't quit till we caught fish. We caught 9 mahi one morning and they shut down the port and had to quit early
because of wind. They offered to take us out again to get our full day finished and we we caught three more huge Dorado. They are very easy going and go to any length to get you your fish.

Martha Nefcy
There night not be fish this time of year. Take dramamine or something for motion discomfort.

Ryan Boullioun
Go for the full day if you have the time and just be patient it really paid off for us

Justin Lambeth
For offshore game fish, look for better months. Maybe nearshore is better this month

WILLIAM MIDA
Fishing is all dependent on the weather.
The ocean's still a little cool in March.

Jeff Inskeep
Make sure the fish you’re after are in season when you book your trip. If I had it to do over,

David Prairie
September October November better for Marlin, Tuna, and other species like them.

Timothy Aandahl
It’s slower in February… a trade off for seeing so many whales. But, there are fish to catch.

Kenneth Droz
Water was cold. I’d come back to have a better experience in June. This is a tough month.

Jeff Stephenson
Check to see what time of the year that is best for the species you want to fish for.

Rosemary Sheffer
We were novice fisherman and really enjoyed the variety of the fish and caught a lot!

Kevin Nixon
Prepare for less desirable conditions as it got consistently windy by early afternoon

Donna MCCLUNG
Get to the marina early and get your fishing licenses before heading to your boat
