Weโve been on fishing trips where we spent hours trolling and came home with a couple of average fish, or even one big monster (a 9 foot blue marlin).ย Today we wanted quantity.ย We wanted to catch a lot of fish and we didnโt care what kind.ย This is probably an unusual request, but Louis and Ismael gave us exactly that. We stayed relatively close to shore (less than a mile) and caught our first fish just 15 minutes into the excursion.ย All told we hit our boatโs limit of Bonita in a few hours. We also saw whales and sea lions up close during our morning of fishing. The boat was comfortable and the Captain handled the very rough seas with skill.ย It was a rough day to be on the water, but Louis and Ismael made it a thoroughly enjoyable day.

This review is for folks that donโt have a ton of experience fishing and are wondering if itโs too intense. It is, but in the best way! My wife and I took my Father on his first sea fishing experience and had an awesome time! It was quiet for the first 3-4 hours, but Ismael, our guide assured us we just had a wait a little longer. In the meantime we saw countless whales, even Marlin jumping and got to see the lovers arch at sunrise and enjoy the views of Cabo from the sea. We saw many boats around us reeling in Marlin and it was finally our turn! We snagged a 140lbs marlin and my father was able to reel in a Dorado immediately after!! It was so incredible and Ismael really did the leg work to help us bring them in, so thatโs not a problem! Once we got back to shore we were able to get our fish processed for a tip and took 2 kilos of our marlin and the whole dorado was probably about 3 kilos. We took it back to our hotel, Pueblo Bonito and they cooked it up for us with a two hour notice! Sashimi for the marlin and a flavorful char for the dorado. Thank you so much to our captain and crew of El Budster Pride! We had an incredible experience and will never forget it!

Great experience! Told the captain we wanted to catch Dorado, Wahoo and yellowfin tuna. Limited out on nice dorado within 90 minutes of leaving the dock so we moved deeper to try for some yellowfin. No yellowfin but an 8 foot striped marlin put on a great show while a humpback whale breeched 50 yards past the marlin, epic show. Word on the radio was no yellowfin but lots of marlin so I asked the captain if we could switch to deep running plugs for wahoo. Two nice wahoo later we ended the trip two hours early and headed for the dock and a wahoo sashimi lunch. Highly recommended boat and crew!

Honestly, I donโt want to write a good review because I want to be selfish and keep this boat and crew to myself for the next time I come down but god damn. Louis and Ishmael hooked me up. The price was great, we caught a mahi mahi almost instantly, and then three marlin. I tore my hands up (went solo fishing) but was totally worth it. It was an experience Iโll never forget. These guys hooked me up with beer, food, and worked their asses off to get those three marlins on. Two of them were monsters too, over 98 inches. 10/10 would do again.

Nice clean boat. Caught our limit of Mahi (our primary goal) and got a massive marlin as a bonus without even trying. We did the all inclusive full day trip and the box lunch was good (really too much food). Also got more beer than we needed. Luis and ismael were very good too. Made adjustments to lures and depth of troll as needed. Communicated effectively about our plan. We initially told them tuna was the number 2 priority but told us Jan is not the right month and we adjusted our plan accordingly
