What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur for the first time?

Avoid booking the 5 hour trips. 5 hour trips are great, but when conditions and fish throw you a curveball, the 8 hour gives much more flexibility to get things done.

My very first trip was 8 hours. We caught some tuna and had a great time but it was a long day. For a first timer I would suggest a half day trip which I did the second time.

It was a great experience. It’s a little more hit or miss than in the fall, but would definitely fish in the sling again!

If possible schedule your trip around prime fall fishing months. There are fish to be caught over spring break but fewer big exotics and rougher weather.

Weather was windy and warm water was pushed offshore. Good bottom fishing but marlin were too far out.

Ask more questions of the captain. Be more insistent of what you want. Read reviews of potential charters. Allow enough time to select the best option for you.

The whale migration and water temps have an impact on fishing so beware you will not catch or catch little.

I think we were a little late in the season. Captain said the best time to fish in Cabo is October through February

Keep in mind that February isn’t the prime fishing time but it’s great for whale watching. A great crew and Captain like Jose n Andres can still get you on fish!!!?

The price advertised is for the boat, not per individual. So, if you can find someone else to join you, you can split the cost.

Bring a sweater or sweatshirt for the first hour or two. It can be pretty chilly. Hat and sunglasses. Bring a smile and crew takes care of the rest.

Check with your Captain before booking your trip to make sure that you get the experience that you expect! They are there to help you.

You might not catch what you want due to the seasons of the fish but it was a great experience and the crew was badass. I will be trying to reserve another trip with Jose and Javier.

Check with someone before booking as to whether it is a good fishing season. We were told it was good for Marlin, but then also told that September is the best. We went in June.

These type of operators aren’t settup to do multiple techniques, so if you book, know you’ll be getting one type of fishing - 90% trolling

Make sure you take something for sea sickness prior to going out even if you you think you have good sea legs.

Check the moon phase table and bring a soft cooler and sweatshirt. Normally see whales that time of year.

Don’t fret about little things the crews there are professionals and if you’re missing something they will get for you.

We missed the big Mahi Mahi catch but was able to enjoy some marlin action instead. Great day on the water

Stripped marlin were our intended target and we were not disappointed. We landed 8 marlin in 4 days and will be returning to do this again!

Don't get drunk the night before if you think you MIGHT GET SEA SICK. SUNBLOCK AND SUNSCREEN ESSENTIAL

The fishing was good in May. I have previously fished in Cabo San Lucas in January and that was better but May was also good.

Great weather and some of the fish were biting. Not sure if you would come away with a trophy as I'm not expert, but you'll come away with something to eat and show, for sure.

Know what is in season and what is biting while you are in town. It will help with your expectations heading in to the day.

Fishing when the water is warmer will help you find the fish you’re looking for. It’s is whales and fishing then come on down in March!

Capt Juan and the Bluetail. Expert captain and not a poser like many of the "captains" you will find in Mexico. Superb value.

The crew of the boat are everything. Read reviews on boat and check fishing reviews for the month your planning your trip.

Big boats targeting Marlin means fishing all day for that one bite. I have much more rewarding trips on pangas, more fish and a good experience.

Use fish Booker when looking to book a trip be careful there are a lot of people at the marina trying to sell fishing trips

The seas are normally not calm. I recommend a larger craft for anyone with small children or sea sickness. I recommend the 8 hour charter for anglers interested in catching multiple species or a lot of fish
