What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur for the first time?

Nice weather. Not too hot, yet. Been on boats in July and got fried and sea sick. This boat is luxury. Spend the extra you won’t regret it.

I would recommend fishing in the summer months if you want to catch a lot of fish and fish in the colder months if you want large species like Marlin.

February seems to a tough time of year, per Google lol. But, there are fish. Plus the whales are everywhere.

Do your research. We used reviews to pick this boat. Speed & size matter. Def use fishingbooker when in cabo otherwise you will be bombarded at the Marina by vendors.

Make sure you check with your hotel. Ours had a freezer to store our fish for USD $15.

Schedule with the Black Marlin!! Great crew and dedication to get you some fish!

Get a cooler and make sure you fishing guide gets your license and gives it to you like ours did.

Be sure to go out with Johnny Sanchez himself whether the smaller or bigger boat.

Just get out there...you may not catch fish every outing but when you do your going to be pulling in some awesome fish in Cabo.

Captain noted it was the end of the pelagic season. Boat was rigged only for trolling. We would have opted for reef fishing after 4 hours of trolling with no action and few other boats catching fish

I alway wear shorts under pants for the early morning ride out and put the pants in a bag when it warms up. Most boats have a spot to stay out of the cool breeze though

Book with the right boat and crew. Read reviews and speak with the captain beforehand and discuss expectations and what you are looking for in your trip.

Combine inshore with offshore on your trip to catch a nice variety . If motion sickness an issue get a bromine patch from your doctor. Works wonders.

Keep very positive energy and low expectations. You’ll enjoy it more and be much more grateful that way.

Definitely a great time to fish for Marlin! They were leaping around us and tons of boats around us had them on the line.

Try to talk with your captain about your expectations or what you want to go after. Your first choice might not always be the hot bite.

Make a plan for fish cleaning, packaging, and shipping before boarding if you want to keep some to eat.

Listen and let Capt. and Crew do what they do They spend a lot of hours out there bc they love to catch fish

They asked what we wanted to catch and then targeted that!! They were great from the time we go on the boat and the whole trip!! Would highly recommend them and will fish with them again!!???

Great for Mahi Mahi and Marlin not far off the beach. Good for those who might get sea sick. You can catch some good fish close to shore and don't need to go miles and miles out.

I would just say book with Blck Marlin. They are the best! Be patient, respect the waters, and enjoy!

Remember to be patient Fishing is up and down but Cabo by far is one of the best places to fish and especially with this company.

Be prepared, if you get the opportunity to reel in a Marlin, and you will on The Black Marlin, it takes a while.

If you’re trying to catch Marlin go out on a full day charter in order to be able to travel further out for a better chance at a big catch

Be aware that parking can be challenging! If you can get a shuttle or ride-share, I would recommend it.

Not too bad if you are looking for mahi mahi and rooster Size can be matter but still You will catch them

Maybe chat with the captain to see if he can make conversation and is excited about the trip and catching fish.

Make sure you take steps to avoid motion sickness. Weather was great, but large swells. You don't want your trip ruined by a qweezy stomach.

El Patho is a really lucky boat with many years in cabo!! Kiss a coin and throw it in the water as soon and the lines are out! Pay for the fish and they will come!!

If you want to catch Marlin, recommend whole day booking in November so that you go further out to reach the Marlin
