These guys were top notch the whole way. I ended up going solo because the family couldn’t handle the rough seas and I still totally enjoyed myself and even caught a stripped marlin. We got a bunch of bites on other fish and even tried to catch a hammerhead shark but unfortunately he wasn’t interested in the bait. The captain and deckhand would be on point when we saw something and they did everything they could do to catch more fish. To me I was completely okay with catching just one 95” stripped tuna. What a rush the biggest fish I have ever caught! I’ve been on other fishing trips here in Cabo over the years, some captains and deck hands go the extra mile to ensure you have a good trip and some don’t, these guys really tried and actually succeeded getting on the fish. I highly recommend giving these guys a shot, I have a great time.

Thank you Cory!
The fishing experience was excellent! However, there are several items to keep in mind when fishing from Cabo. The fishing licenses will cost $16 USD per angler which will be provided at the dock. There is a dock fee of $1 USD per angler to get on the boat. You can purchase beer from vendors upon arrival for $1.50 USD per can. Ice was provided on the boat. Bring your lunch items with you as we were unable to find any for purchase at 7am. Finally, be prepared to purchase LIVE Bait - $30 USD for ten baits - more about this below.
The captain and mate are very experienced. They were able to locate marlin “finning” on the surface and present the live bait to the marlin. Our party had a multiple hookup with two striped marlin. As we did not desire to have a “trophy” marlin, we performed catch and release. The best the angler can hope for is the get the marlin beside the boat for pictures as the crew stated it is difficult to boat the marlin for pictures and then release. I don’t think we would have had the same results with only natural bait and lures. Buy the live baits as they are worth the price!
As for the marlins, one was approximately 180 lbs and the larger was approximately 210 lbs! We did not have any luck catching anything fish for dinner but we could not complain - we caught two marlin!
The views from the boat are outstanding and we were able to see multiple whales jumping during the trip! Upon returning to the marina, be prepared to photograph the sea lions as they jump on the boat’s swim platform and beg for any remaining live baits.
Great day! I would definitely recommend a trip on El Budster Pride.

We had a fantastic time. Luis & Ismael are the best captain and first mate-bar none!
Hooked into 3 Marlin and landed this one. Great crew. Super nice and did everything they could to make sure we were taken care of
Hi Stanley, we are so grateful for your positive review. Hope to meet you again soon to have another great fishing day!
I fish A LOT…great captain and deckhand. Worked hard, constantly changing lures. Will definitely use again!
