There was a fishing tournament starting the day we fished. We didn’t think much of it, since we weren’t in it. It did, unfortunately have an unintended effect on our fishing trip. When we went to get bait, we couldn’t get sardines to go after the tuna we were hoping to get. This led us to have to troll for tuna with artificial lures and the bait we were able to get. We tried many things for many hours but with no results. The captain took us to a spot of known tuna to try and different tactic. We snagged two and then switched over to bottom fishing. We ended up catching round 20 fish of all different types. We had a wonderful time doing that and really enjoyed the rest of the trip.

The crew was amazing in an unusual circumstance. They tried very hard to get us on the targeted fish with the bait we had. In the end they got us onto some fish and we had a good time.  Great crew, good boat! Would definitely fish with them again!

My family went on a half day trip with Captain Manual today, 10/7/2024. We left the dock at 6am and by 9am, my adult sons had caught a nice sized yellow fin and a 260lb blue Marlin (after only an hour and a half of fighting it!) Our captain and his crew member (I’m embarrassed to have forgotten his name) worked so hard to create a once in a lifetime experience for my family. Their skill, expertise, and years of experience shown through. They were just as invested in our trip as we were. I know a half day can be more difficult to navigate, especially when the fish are not biting but they absolutely nailed it! I would highly recommend them if you’re in Cabo and looking for a crew that works hard to provide you with an amazing experience.

It was a great day with plenty of sunshine and pretty calm waters. We headed north to start the day catching a mahi mahi on the way to the spot where the tuna were plentiful. We caught several and decided we had enough so headed out to chase marlin. The captain put us on several but we were only able to land one, but it was a beauty!
The only thing about Cabo fishing these days is everything is now an extra - fishing license, bait (both tuna bait and marlin bait since it’s different) and even ice - then extra to have it cleaned. But I’ll tell ya, it was still a great experience and seeing my son-in-law land his first marlin was worth every penny!
By the way, take your catch to a local restaurant and have them prepare it - amazing!!

Our fishing trip was on Sept 6, 2024.  We booked a full-day trip and had three guys in our party.  The dorado and yellowfin tuna were in full-force and we essentially limited out on dorado and probably added 6 or 7 tuna to the mix.  These were not the large-variety tuna given that we were only fishing about 1/2 - 1 mile offshore, but they were certainly biting strong.  Regardless, this was the most exciting and productive offshore fishing trip that I’ve been on.
The Ursula crew (Manuel and Sammy) was great.  Both were very active and responsive to the action we were getting - even when we had three fish on the line at one time.  Sammy kept us all in line and focused on getting the fish in the boat.  Great job guys!!
We did have an interest in marlin as well.  Striped marlin were biting well and we had one on the hook at one time but it shook the hook after a few jumps. The interest of catching marlin was the reason we booked the full-day trip.  One thing we realized though, is that all fish generally stop their top-water feeding by noon, thus causing us to cut our full-day trip short by a few hours.  The one thing I will consider in the future is either going after marlin only or everything else other than marlin.
Overall, this was by far my best fishing trip thanks to the great service by the Ursula team and the cooperation of the fish!  I highly recommend the Ursula team!

We had a great day of fishing. It was my first time fishing in Cabo. We caught a lot of dorado, some Spanish mackerel, a couple of small tuna, and a couple of striped marlin. A blue marlin got on the line briefly as well. Our boat came back with more flags than most other boats in the marina. The crew was great and they got us on the fish as soon as we got to the arch. My only complaint is at the end I felt pressured into using their recommended fish processor whose costs I later learned were about twice that of Gricelda’s, though delivery was included.  I probably won’t go that route next time and am considering it a learning experience. Overall I am very satisfied, we spent a lot of our day enjoying reeling in fish.
