We had a great day with Captain Louis and first mate Ishmael, very knowledgeable and they put us on fish almost immediately and continued to catch them roughly every twenty minutes.  Big bonus was the sea lion who jumped on the back of boat on the way back, our boys got to pet and feed him.  Couple of things to know though, it’s the Pacific Ocean so even a calm day can be a bit rough, the boats down here mostly run diesel so they are noisy and it’s sport fishing so you are constantly moving.  If you’re good with all that then get ready for a great day with these guys.

Had such an an amazing experience today, we fished 5 hours and caught two fish. 2 skip jacks early then the fun began the crew was positive the entire time, saying any minute. Well the real any minute started at 9:30 when a wahoo blew up on a bait. The entire time the deck hand monitored and helped guide me through the 30 minute fight. We got the fish on board and their enthusiasm matched my own. I kept getting told by them, this is a once in a lifetime fish. Well when we got back the other fisherman and on lookers confirmed it was a giant fish. Ended up being 6ft long and 121lbs. Well after that I had my 12yr old nephew with me. His turn, we kept fishing and about an hour later, fish in, it was a Marlin. Another 30 minute fight we got the monster on board. This boat is very ethical and since we had one on board already they said we needed to release it and I was more than happy to angry we got it out of the water before and man it was a beast, at least 150lbs…. It was as long as the boat was wide and chunky. They again were as excited as we were and as soon as we got to the docks begged and bragged about how good we did! I mean it was them doin the hardwork but it was such an amazing fishing experience. I’d recommend 100/100 times.

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.
