Iโm from Frankfurt Germany and go fishing my whole life (with own boat) and take opportunity to charter a boat in every holiday abroad from my home town. That is why I booked my trip couple of month before arriving for vacation in Cabo and informed well about recent operating companies as there are several!
Due to good customer feedback and pricing I took decision on El Budster which i will not regret! My trip was on 06.11.2018 for a full day (2 person). I arrived in marina dock 3 by taxi at 6:30am and I was really impressed how busy there it was. Never saw such an armada of fishing boats who wanted to go out and try to catch billfish, wahoo, mahi mahi etc.
First of all I went to Mike who was waiting in a small office next to the dock. Getting paid he brings us to the boat where the captain and first mate was still preparing everything right. Please be aware that the following costs are not included within the charter fees:
Dock fee (2$ per personโฌ)
Live baits (30$)
Fishing license (16$ per person)
When mike bring us to the boat we started the engine and went out at 6:45 am. On this day there went out ca 200 further boats, really incredible! Captain asked me on which species we want to hunt as myself decided to go straight for Marlin.
When we passed the arch first mate begun to prepare the lures.
After 30 minutes I was wondering that we had the first attack on the live bait. A nice 180 pounds striped Marlin came in after a 35 minutes fight and released. Next strike was approximately 1h later after having some bites but could not hook. I catched my second striped Marlin having 150 pounds! What a great start I thought. I spoke to the captain who recommended and to troll next to the coast in order to catch some mahi mahi. And should I sayโฆit was the right decision. I could bring in 7 nice Mahi Mahi!!! Was funny to see if the other boats came quickly to our spot when they saw that we catched. However, the fish attacked our lures only ;)
Captain and first mate really made great job and was very friendly; they was really good tag team and gave the best to find fish, changed lures, course etc.
Boat and furniture was good, toilet clean and enough space for 1-4 person, however I would recommend to charter only for 2.
All in all I was really happy and thank Salvador and his team for providing me the unforgettable day and my first 2 Marlins!! Just let you know that I saw several boats coming in on this day with no fish. So fishing is also to have some luckโฆ
As i had also negative experience on other charters I can hereby highly recommend to book with this guys! Really professional and they know what they are doing!
Thanks and best regards from Germany
