Great trip. The boat we booked was having repairs done, so we went out with Francisco on a comparable boat instead, no problem. Wanted a marlin, but the captain warned the bite has been bad, and recommended staying inshore for mackerels and roosterfish where we could have a lot of action, but we had done that the day before, so we said we wanted to at least try. Saw 2 marlins, no bites, but at the end of the day we caught a mahi mahi and a hammerhead shark to salvage the trip. Super fun, nice guys, knowledgable, comfortable boat. Hope to come back in warmer temps to get the marlin that has been eluding us! Slow day was on us, the trip met expectations. Would absolutely recommend.

Went fishing with El Budster Pride southwest of Cabo San Lucas in early January. Never fished marlin before. I was impressed by the captain Salvador Nunez. He handled the boat brilliantly in rough seas and was very focussed looking for fish. Ismail the deckhand handled the gear and me just as well. Between the two I knew I was in good hands. Right away we got into some skipjack tuna.Then we headed southwest offshore and a striped marlin took one of the back lines. About 30 minutes later the marlin was in the boat. Then we got a dorado, followed by eight yellowfin tuna. I felt a bit sore after reeling in more than twenty fish. These guys are the reel deal. I would definitely fish with them again.

We booked El Budster Pride for our first sportfishing trip with our two kids. We have been many times but wanted it to be a positive experience for them. The boat was spacious and equipped with everything we could need for a day on the water. There was plenty of seating and lounging spots. The fishing equipment was top notch as well as our captain and deckhand’s knowledge.  They were able to get my son on a dorado and 2 large Marlins (only 1 we kept because the hook was too deep to release). Then we were able to let my daughter catch and release another huge Marlin.  We would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to enjoy the day and catch some big fish.

Was reluctant to charter a 29’ boat without AC, but the reviews were amazing and the price was more than fair for a full day charter.
Long story short, this was the best fishing experience my wife and I have ever had. Captain Louise is knowledgeable, funny, and knew exactly where to put us on the fish. Omar the 1st mate was also funny and great!!. We caught 3 Dorado (one was 40”+) and 2 Striped Marlin (one was 113+”). I would recommend them to absolutely anyone that wanted to fish while in Cabo. We mounted both the large Dorado and the Marlin. Interacted with friendly sea lions on the way back in, stopped for pictures at the Arch, and met the owner on the way out. This is why Louise, Omar, and El Budster have such excellent reviews. BEST FISHING IVE EVER HAD.

Omar and Francisco did an amazing job putting us on the fish.  We got our limit of Spanish Mackerel in an hour, often doubling or tripling up, and then were hooking up and catching rooster fish left and right until some seal showed up and scared them off.  We trolled for striped Marlin and didn’t get lucky, but that’s fishing.  Had a great day fishing.
