An awesome day of fishing!









"I wanted to take a moment to let you know what a great time I had on a day of fishing down in Cabo. The boat was in great shape, all the gear was in good condidiotn and the boat crew was extremely pleasant and responsive.
All in all an awesome day of fishing and they hooked me up with my first every Striped Marlin. The best part, at the end of the day they directed us to a local restaurant "El Pescador" where our fish was prepared and served in several different traditional sytles.

This was a very well run outfit."

Thanks!

Sincere appreciation; come on down!

"Like my son said, I can cross this one off the "bucket list". Just wanted to send you a note of gratitude for all you did to make our trip unforgettable, and I will let everyone know how excellent everything was. Please let Erick and Gilbert (our captains) know as well, and we will see you again."

-- Comment from an Oregon man on his mid May charter in Cabo.

There are some great opportunities for reasonable costs at hotels, resort condo rentals now in Cabo. The weather is great and so is fishing. We'd love to see you there, so come on down!!

A memorable experience




We just got back from a phenomenal trip to Cabo, which included a day on the Vaquero targeting marlin. The trip to Cabo was a surprise to my wife for our 10th anniversary. When I told her I had scheduled a day for fishing she was a tad reluctant- she enjoys fishing now and again but was hesitant to give up a day at the beach after the rough winter we've had back home.
We were greeted at the dock early in the morning by Kathya. She introduced us to our captain Erick. We had an enjoyable ride out to the fishing grounds and then the fun began! Neither of us had fished marlin before and the frantic pace of the boats milling around, throwing live bait out, and then picking up and roaring off to another spot was a blast! I think I might hav been entertained all day long just to watch, even if we had never had a hookup. Of course they did find us fish - 3 marllin released (one more spit the hook after about 5 minutes) and 2 Dorado, as well. The marlin were large (one nearly 200 pounds) and the light gear made us work to get them in. As soon as we got one in we were off to find another one. It didn't take all but five minutes to hook up again! After we landed the 3 we decided to switch gears and target some Dorado on the way back home. After the first strike our deckhand threw out another live bait and had our second fish hooked in about 30 seconds. The icing on the cake was eating some of our catch that night at Erick's mom's restaurant.
I don't think my wife will let me get away with another trip to Cabo without including another day on the Vaquero. It was a memorable experience that we look forward to repeating again!

Fishing was great!




Erick was our skipper and we got 9 marlin and 3 dorado. It was a blast. Here is a picture of my son Kaleb with his dorado, and he caught a marlin as well. I landed 3 marlin and one dorado. We had 2 marlin on at once on several occasions.




The other boat didn't fare qite as well, only 2 marlin and 3 dorado.




Katia was also great from a customer service perspective.




All in all it was a great time and I'm trying to figure out when I can get back down to Cabo.
