We left San Jose Los Cabos Marina early on a 7 hour trip on the 2nd of November. The water was a bit rough, especially in the ponga, but we started trolling and Al picked up the first fish of the day, a nice Mahi Mahi. It took us a half hour to get to the Tuna grounds. The water was busting with activity of bait fish, and we decided to cut bait and drift fish over the Tuna below. It wasnโt minutes before the first bite. The first Tuna was about 25lbs and gave me a good battle. Alan landed another Yellowfin about the same size and it gave him everything that he wanted,ย except the crying! lol Al is a bit older and I think that the drag was a bit looseโฆbut he landed it like a champ! I purchased a new heavy rod and Penn 12000 series spincast reel especially for the Tuna. The Captian gave me instructions to hang on to my rod, and I did, as all the rod holders were in use. The scream of the drag in Alejandros hand got my attention,ย as it was my turn for another fight. As I turned,ย I set my rod down and turned towards the CaptainโฆI heard a big commotion to my left. As I turned around and seen what was unfolding, I had a split second and got two fingers on the butt of my new outfitโฆbut this Yellowfin was way out of the league of Tuna we had been fighting! It sounded like someone hit our boat with a 50-caliber!!! Al ,Alejandro, and myself looked at each other with disbelief as the image of my new tackle disappeared into the clearest of blue ocean! So after a tounge lashing in Spanish/English, we went back to fishing. So we missed those two bites. Another set and drift created another opportunity. I hooked up with a little better fish, but this time I tighten up my drag a bit, as it looked like 150lb mono. It was by far the best fish we landed that day. It looked to weigh about 35 lbs. So all in all, it was a great trip with a big tip, still swimming at the bottom of the crystal blue waters of Baha!

Captain Alejandro is certainly very knowledgeable about the areas to fish and the techniques to catch fish.ย We trolled to the honey-hole catching a dorado, a wahoo and a bonito on the way.ย Once there we switched to bait fishing for tuna and had good success catching three tunas of 20, 40 and 50 lbs.ย We also caught more bonitos and a few other fish.ย We saw marlin at times but did not hook up. We then trolled back to port catching a few more fish.ย Truly a great day.
Captain Alejandro did a great job putting me on some fish. He tried every method Iโm used to and we ended up getting hooked up to a sailfish early. I recommend this company because. It only was this a good trip but because theyโve given me great memories with my daughter on a previous trip.
It was a very slow morning and hot. We didnโt catch anything until the last hour and a half of our trip. Jesus did a great job of trying to put us on some fish early that morning but what can you say, weโre fishing. We managed to get one mahi-mahi and landed one rooster fish. Two more rooster fish got away, but it was a fun day. Like I said, Jesus did a great job to make sure we landed some fish before returning back to the docks.
Jesus was great, very knowledgeable spoke English and knew where the fish were. 5 hour trip we caught about a dozen fish of various kinds. All in all was a great day on the water, would definitely fish with Jesus again.
