My spouse and I took a vacation to Los Cabos for the first time and was looking into a fishing charter. Neither of us had Been to los Cabos fishing in Mexico before so we weren’t really sure what to expect. From first booking within an hour Johnny had messaged excited for our tour told us where to meet, the meeting time, and what we needed prior to so there were no surprises. We arrive via Uber to the marina, got our fishing license for the day and Johnny was ready to go before our start time.
The boat is smaller, but allows for more intimate experience. Johnny is very knowledgable on what to look for, patient and excited to share what he does with anyone that has the pleasure of boarding his boat! He even knew what fish we had on the line before we even got it up. Though, we weren’t a lucky one that day for a Marlon, we were happy to be out on the boat and got some incredible photos and videos of the fishing trip and had them biting within 20 mins of setting up!  Make sure to pack water and food for your day and you will have a great time.

Thank you from Jazzy & Erik

Best fishing experience I’ve had in Cabo. Constantly on the roosters, think we raised 10+ , also got some fun fighting jacks right outside the marina. No sierra mackerel (soanish mackerel for us east coast guys) so played catch and release all morning.  DEF go in the morning afternoon is dead.

Especially in March when marlin / dorado is 50/50% chances, book this. Even without speaking Spanish you will be able to interact with Cesar who knows his stuff. Probably not for a small family trip though - more for a serious angler

Just be aware the online licenses don’t always download on your phone and bait isn’t included (ballyhoo bought from a bait boat on the walk out). I wanted to leave a better tip but spend $20 on license and $20 on bait so had to leave the captain a smaller tip than I wanted to.

The overall communication from the time of booking right up to the time of the trip was excellent.  We were met at the arranged spot on time and Johnny helped us get our licenses and some bait quickly.  We were escorted to the boat and introduced to Captain Ceasar and we were off the dock within minutes.  Once we got out on the water we had lines in quickly and in five minutes we hooked a nice
mahi mahi.  My son reeled it in and it was a very memorable first time catch for him!  The rest of the trip was slow because it was a full moon the night before but we had fun and ended up following around some whales at a safe distance to get some good photos and videos.  Panga was a very affordable trip
for two people and I will definitely book again with this company!

I’ve been fishing these waters for 23 years. I’ve fished around the world. I’ve always been out on 31’+ boats yet with Christmas this year I couldn’t fit in the budget. I was here in Cabo in 2020 when it was empty and it was a bonanza. The tourists have returned in enormous numbers and the entire sea was an armada of boats swarming upon any activity that occurred. The captain always seemed to be the first to find the fish, then, once we were hooked up, the other boats would swarm and we would leave with our catch. We caught some really nice sized Dorado. I missed a few but it happens. Make sure to double up on live bait EVERY time. You must demand it. The dorado were biting like mad and they wanted the Bollyhoo and not the Mackerel. The ones that got away would chew up the bollyhoo to bits without coming near the hook. You need to get fresh bait back in the water anytime there’s a school of fish nearby. Tuna are no different. If they’re not biting the lures and are only going for the live bait you need to be prepared.

The bait boat gave us double mackerel and I didn’t even notice. I almost always check. When there are so many boats going out the baitfish supply can run low. If you’re on a full day you can catch bait yet you waste valuable time. Get your live bait. Show up extra extra early. Parking is a challenge. Get your license online the night before your trip. Leave the rear to these guys they’re great!

Although the fishing wasn’t hot, we had a great day on the water. It was just me and captain Johnny on the boat. We hooked into a mahi early in the morning, and didn’t catch another for several hours. (Besides a skipjack in between). We lost 2 off the hook set, oh well🙄
I had never caught either of those fish so I consider it a win! I have fished enough to know that some days are just better than others and a day of fishing doesn’t mean a day of catching. Overall captain Johnny and I had great conversations and shared a lot of stories between one another. His gear is in good shape and his boat is clean. He worked hard to get me on some fish and took me over to the arch to get some photos. After that we had the fish filleted and I took them back to hotel to have them cooked by the chef.

This trip is geared more for the true angler or outdoorsman who wants to catch fish and enjoy the water, as opposed to someone looking for a luxury charter. Not to mention, it’s at a fantastic price point.  Bring some drinks, snacks, and a good attitude and captain will work his ass off to get you some fish. Thanks Johnny! I had a great time, I will definitely book again and recommend you to everyone I know.
