Great Outing with El Budster Charter

GECONTROLEERD
NIEUW

We had a really cool time on the El Budster Charter – it's a family-run business, which made it feel nice and chill. Captain Luis is super experienced and got us on a big Wahoo right in the first hour. The Shimano reels and gear were solid, made it easy to reel in the fish without any hassle. Captain Salvador was awesome with talking to us and even helped sort out a weekly fishing license super quick. Capt Luis was chatting with other boats and got us right into the tuna spot where birds and dolphins were going crazy on the baitfish. We caught a couple decent yellowfin tuna and some bonita – it was fun watching the tuna jump out of the water chasing stuff. Had a great day fishing with my 9-year-old boy, it's good for kids. Totally recommend it!

3 Marlin in the afternoon

GECONTROLEERD

My wife and I did an afternoon 5 hour trip. Had a Bonita in about 5 minutes after the poles were set. It got a little quiet after that for a couple hours. And then we hit! Landed 3 striped marlin in the next couple of hours. Seas were very rough since a storm had just passed through the area the week before. So 6-8 feet seas all day. Each fish took about 15 to 20 minutes to get tonthe boat. The smallest was 93 inches tonthe largest which was 98 inches! All were over 100 pounds! One of the greatest experiences of this old man’s life! Crew was awesome and all about the fishing. Clearly experienced at their craft. WHEN we go back to Cabo we will definitely use the same place again! Don’t shop around, this is your boat! Enjoy

Blue Marlin!!! First one

GECONTROLEERD

I went out for an 8 hour trip on Sep 22nd and what a trip. This was my 4th trip with the great captain and again he did not disappoint. Check-in for the trip is super easy and your fishing license is available in 10 min. Excellent customer service all round. Boat left on time and now you pay for bait at the check in so again super easy. My best friend has never caught a big ocean fish, and what a way to start. We hit a 300lb Blue Marlin, and the fight was on. Lost a big Whaoo when it bit through the line and caught some smaller fish also when my arm was so tired :) Great support from the crew and great pictures also. Stopped to feed the seals on the way back and took lots of great pictures. I would and will go again with EL BUDSTER PRIDE or as I call it El BUDSTER "BIG FISH" PRIDE!! Ian

ALL INCLUSIVE FISHING TRIP 3 PAX

Highly Recommend El Budster Pride

GECONTROLEERD

Excellent experience. The crew were amazing and put us right on a school of marlin once we got far enough offshore. We also landed several skipjack tuna, which we tipped a guy on the dock $20 to process for us, then we walked down to Capt. Tony's and had them prepare a family style meal with our catch prepared three ways. I highly recommend the full day trip as that allows you to get far enough out for the sport fish. I also recommend getting the box lunches. For $20 each person, we each had a large ham & cheese sub with very fresh lettuce & tomato, a shredded chicken fajita wrap, fresh apple, bag of chili cheese "twists", and a large pouch of cookies. This was high quality food and perfect to snack on for 8 hours.GREAT experience!

Desde el inicio Luis, el capitan e Isamel el tripulante se enfocaron en dar una buena atencion y hacerme pasar un buen dia. Luis de mucha experiencia supo sacar ventaja de las otras 100 embarcaciones que salian.. Se nota que tenia la estrategia clara para lo que yo pedi. Marlin y dorados.. Tuve la suerte de pelear con 6. tres marlin sacamos, 1 marlin, 1 dorado y un wajo se me fueron… la sonrisa no me la saca nadie aun.. Feliz repetiria con ellos. eso si llevaroa mas cerveza y algo de comer. Luis e Ismael se merecen buenas propinas.. Sigan asi.

Excellent experience. The crew were amazing and put us right on a school of marlin once we got far enough offshore. We also landed several skipjack tuna, which we tipped a guy on the dock $20 to process for us, then we walked down to Capt. Tony's and had them prepare a family style meal with our catch prepared three ways. I highly recommend the full day trip as that allows you to get far enough out for the sport fish. I also recommend getting the box lunches.
