We were celebrating my birthday and what a gift, I caught a 8ft Marlin before 7:30AM.
As we continued with our fishing, we caught a second Marlin.

The boat was extremely clean and comfortable.

Captain Luis was diligent and professional, deckhand Omar was very good and supportive in coaching us on the proper way to bring in our catch.

A beautiful experience!!!

Would recommend this boat to anyone. They know how to target the fish you are after. I Will use them again next time I’m in town. Good for inexperienced and experienced anglers. We had 2 Marlin on the hook in the first 30 minutes of lines in the water. Ended up catching a nice Striped Marlin. With over 20 interactions with Marlin throughout our trip.

I would have no hesitation in recommending El Budster to fellow fishermen. It’s comfortable and well equipped with two fighting chairs and plenty of shade and seating areas. Capt Francisco and mate Omar both worked very hard to put us on fish, with the result that we had a beautiful striped Marlin of 150-170lbs. This was despite us seeing many other boats around us flying the marlin flag when we returned to harbour. This made 4 fish for them in three consecutive days’ fishing.

Note that although it isn’t compulsory locally for some reason we practiced catch and release, which I would encourage for anyone who cares about the state of our seas. After all, my marlin released today could be the one you catch on your next trip.

Nice clean boat. Caught our limit of Mahi (our primary goal) and got a massive marlin as a bonus without even trying. We did the all inclusive full day trip and the box lunch was good (really too much food). Also got more beer than we needed. Luis and ismael were very good too. Made adjustments to lures and depth of troll as needed. Communicated effectively about our plan. We initially told them tuna was the number 2 priority but told us Jan is not the right month and we adjusted our plan accordingly

My 16 year old son and I had a great 5 hour trip.  Within 10 minutes of leaving the dock we had lines in the water and the guides worked hard for 5 hours to get us on fish.

We caught 4 skip jacks and one Mahi Mahi.  The guides pitched to two separate Marlin with no success, but we had a great look at them.

Thanks for the memories
