If you want the best fishing experience go to El. Budsters! These guys did not disappoint! Nothing fancy, we didn’t want fancy we wanted to catch big fish and we did!! So helpful! Very clean! Caught 8foot black Marlin and dorado lots!! If you want to catch fish call these amigos!! We will be back.

Our day was good but we didn’t catch anything. 😞 We saw four marlin but couldn’t get any on. The captain and mate were eager to get us a fish during the first half of the day but once we began to troll our way back, they stopped paying attention to the lines. I don’t understand why we wouldn’t race out to the best fishing area have more time there and then race back. Trolling out and back was seemingly a waste of time. They can’t control whether we catch a fish or not but I thought they could’ve given us a better shot. Also, after liscences, bait, taxi, dock fee and tip; $520 turned into $758…

Pros: The captain and mate worked hard to catch fish even in pretty rough water.  Cons: I’ve been on a lot of fishing charters and I’ve never been asked to pay for a fishing license ($16/each) or the live bait ($20) that they “got up at 6 to catch.”  It felt a little nickel and dimed.  Also, you may want to know if you’re traveling with kids, as we were, you’ll be asked to buy weed 20 times on the dock that leads to the marina.  Overall, it was a good experience, and I would recommend.  However, expect a bit of a tourist trap feel.

Luis and first mate Victor were great.  At the onset of the trip they made sure they understood what we wanted to fish for, and as two of the people on the boat had never ocean fished before they made sure we got fish in the boat.  We landed a half dozen skipjack within an hour then moved on for marlin.  We unfortunately never landed any, but there were 6 playing with us a good part of the day which was still a great adrenaline rush.  Ended up landing 3 good sized skipjacks on the way back to port which was a great way to finish the day.  Will definitely recommend to my friends and family.

I can’t say enough about Salvador and Victor and our day fishing! Caught 3 Marlin by 8:30 am, were able to get us on the fish quickly and flawlessly handle two Marlins on the line at once, including helping our 6 year old bring in her first! They were fantastic with her, which not all Captains and crew are great with kids, and they pay close attention to their Clients. If you want to see the whales for a bit, they’ll show you the whales, if you want to take a break and do some inshore fishing, they oblige. Everything about your day is tailored to your preferences, and they are great at all of it. Salvador and Victor run a spotless boat with tip top gear, I wouldn’t book with anyone else when in Cabos.
