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

Sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat! If winter fishing a Jacket! It gets colder than you might expect!

Fishing is slow here in January especially when the water is cold like it is, but the whales are here and it’s nice to get out and away during the cold months from up north.

January is great time for Cabo. We saw multiple whales and dolphin pods. Even saw Marlins (but didn’t catch one)

Make sure you know what’s in season before you book your trip, especially if you are after Marlin.

Dress warm for the cool/cold early morning. Be patient as the crew reallly tries very hard to find the right location for getting the fish!

Be prepared for possibility of colder weather. Don’t expect big sport fish when the water gets colder but you can still catch lots of fish and have a good day on the water.

If you really want to fish, definitely book a full day of fishing so that you are able to really go offshore.

Book with Capt Gilbert & First Mate Joel with Cabo Fishing sportfishing Was outstanding! They know where this fish are, how to catch and make sure it’s a fabulous adventure!

Whales breaching throughout the morning . So much that we went back during the day with our daughters . 2-3 on this boat . Small older bit no issues

No need to spend $800 to go fishing and catch big fish. If you're ok with a smaller boat, the value is fantastic with Juan and his crew!

Rest assured that the crew is going to do everything possible to make your day the best possible fishing trip.

Book a whole day if you want Tuna have to go out quite far for it. Leaves plenty of time to Marlin fish.

Book it. It’s a fun day on the water even if you don’t catch fish. You get to see the arch, coast line, whales and sea lions.

Boat captain was lazy, he took us for a boat ride not a fishing trip. We got scammed Just drove around and they never worked the lines. Beware of Cabo Fishing scams

Be patient! Things change from day to day, and it really is worth it to do 8 hours instead of a half day to increase your chances.

Not a bite! TERRIBLE- No explanation or conversation for entire trip by the crew who ignored us. Five adults and we never even touched a rod, never mind caught a fish! Very expensive boat ride.

If you’re looking to catch something let the crew know you want tuna or something else. Personally I’d rather catch something than the fish I really want. Action is the juice for me.

Yes I would recommend that they book a charter for the first time then if they wanted to go out again to speak with the crew about fishing again to see if you can get a better price for the charter.

El budster pride works hard to put fish and the deck..been on this boat 3 times and caught fish each time..won't go on any other boat

It’s a great value for your money. Easy to get to the head and cabin . Didn’t he to go more than a few miles before we caught fish. Started fishing right out outside of the arch.

Be prepared for a big day and bring sunscreen If your lucky enough to catch a marlin it’s a lot of work so be prepared to pull up a little bit sore the next day ( although worth every minute )

Our experience was slow. Weather to blame. Just to hot for this time of year. Will try again another year.

Be prepare to catch a nice fish or two, but if you are going for Marlin, do not expect to catch several. Instead, be prepared to catch 1-3 if you are going for a half-day trip

Yes! We had a great time! Juan and Javier were excellent and we will definitely book again on our next trip!

Contact your captain prior to booking, as some species are better caught in certain months. Striped marlin seem to be good all year long here. Buena suerte!

Be good listeners! Manuel and Victor are skilled anglers and know their stuff. Bring plenty of water and sunscreen! Get ready to catch big fish!

I think normally it is good, we just ran into bad luck with some fish movement and bait availability.

We were told after we returned that no fish were close everything way way out, nothing was said before we pulled away from the Dock

Great time to fishing and the set up made it easy for a a couple people to catch their first marlin on their first deep sea fishing trip

If you have any virgin anglers, be sure to give them Dremamine the night before and the morning of. The Pacific side is pretty rough.
