If you are looking for marlin and such, you may want to look at a longer trip. That being said, it seemed as though we were pretty successful and some of the other boats were not so it may have been a slow morning. Either way, we had a great day, saw some great things and scenery. Thanks again.

Don't expect big fish in February. We had a cold front moving through. This made the weather incredibly comfortable (high mid 70's in the day, low mid 60's at night) but slowed the fishing down. On the upside the whales are everywhere this time of year.

My husband and I were not looking to go out for trophy fish, we just wanted to have fun fishing in Cabo San Lucas so booked a private trip with Cabo Mahi Mahi – Samantha. Our guide, Jose Cesena, and his assistant were enjoyable to be with and we caught Spanish mackerel of varying sizes, a Yellowtail tuna (the sea lion won that battle - he got the fish and I got only the head!) and we also caught several other large fish that were fun to catch but not good to eat so we tossed them back. I guess it depends on what you are looking to catch. We were not disappointed and had a delicious dinner of fresh fish.

The water was colder than normal for this time of year so the fish weren't as abundant. I guess they head out of the bay with cold water. However, we still had good action and caught what we were hoping for!

Fished in 2020, 2021, 2022 and in my opinion...the action starts after 11am-ish till the evening. Feels slow in the morning hours, especially if your targeting larger game like Mahi, Yellowtail, Marlin...

We really enjoyed fishing but the sea was a bit rough. Cabo in May-June is changing seasons so the winds are very present. This made the sea a bit rough and for someone who gets motion sick it was a bit much. Just keep that in mind and go fishing in the morning and not in the afternoon if your fishing during these months.

Fishing in March much poorer for Dorado (mahi-mahi). Saw a few boats catching marlin near us (we were not targetting marlin). Caught numerous Bonitos, one small dorado (unusual), one spanish mackerel, and one trigger fish (bottom fishing).

if you want to fish on your Cabo trip , check out the options Before you arrive so you know what you should expect both on prices but also what fish are "in season" and thus most likely to be caught. Also you will be prepared for the "want to go fishing mister" pitches you will inevitably get anywhere you walk in Cabo ....

Don't over do it on the caffeine I know its early but your out in sea and the coffee, or energy drink is going to bounce up and down in your stomach. Second drink lots of water, on a hot day pour water on your head to prevent your self from heat stroke.

bring sunscreen, a good book and some patience... It is offshore fishing "Not Offshore Catching". You will get the bites, just enjoy everything around you for what it is. Blue water good friends and family. When the bite happens, be ready, listen to the crew and captain. HAVE FUN

Pack a light jacket and sunscreen. The temperature was low 60's in the morning and heated up to low 80's mid day. Make sure you have a way of transporting your catch back with you. One collapsible cooler will fit about 50lbs of fish (and is still fairly manageable to transport).

We fished in Cabo in mid May 2019. The first two days were slow but the third day was great. It sounds like the striped Marlin fishing was just starting to get good. The rooster fishing was also good this time of year. Overall a great value for fishing compared to prices for charters at other destinations

Come during a peak season for the fish you want. It is expensive because everyone gets their hand for money in your fishing trip (taxis, resorts, fishing company, fishing license, bait, filleting the fish, freezing the fish, etc....) Not to mention the pressure to catch and release. I love fish and wanted to keep it so we did.

Dress warm(waterproof jacket) in case of weather change and could get windy. No bathroom on boat. I asked the captain that I was not interested in Marlin and wanted to catch fish to eat. They can take you elsewhere to fish.

It was Fun, 4 hours might be too short 8 was a long day. Its fishing you might hook up or you might not ! Saw a whale, had Pelicans and a sea Lion jump on the back of the boat to get at the live well where the bait was stored. We let him eat it, cause he was pretty big and grumpy.

You get what you pay for....so if you want a sightseeing tour where you might catch fish go for pricepoint.....but if you want to catch fish with top notch fishermen and gear do a little research on who you're going with before booking......I wasted money trying to fish everyday on some pangas but I experienced broken gear poor equipment and disorganization

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.

Captain louis and Anthony are really awesome. Caught 12 Dorado and they wouldn't quit till we caught fish. We caught 9 mahi one morning and they shut down the port and had to quit early
because of wind. They offered to take us out again to get our full day finished and we we caught three more huge Dorado. They are very easy going and go to any length to get you your fish.

Wear lots of layers sometimes it is cold.. And wear sunscreen even if it's cloudy.

Being from Florida I expected fishing to be better. Fishing was hit or miss during my trip.

Get in with a great outfitter like Fin Chaser Cabo and they will give you a great experience!

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.
