Going to Cabo for my first time and want to go fishing. I'm sure plenty of you have been, so I'm hoping some of you can provide fishing charter info on who you've used, and how the experience was. All help is appreciated!

Check out the boat "dr pescado" with Jaime Rendon, specific to chasing roosters. Cheap and well referred guide. Several options. He has a small panga, and a mid sized boat. And they all share boats between guides anyhow, if you want a larger boat.

We went in August of 2021 with Redrum. It took some work on everybody's part, but we all caught fish. The Captain and crew were fantastic.
One member of our party caught the marlin that was on his bucket list. We enjoyed being there for that without a doubt. We enjoyed it and would go back without hesitation.

Have a trip booked with Redrum at the end of April. Going with the half day and have the option to do a full day depending on how it all is going. We are doing the "La Nueva"(33 foot). My question is how far out do they go? I guess it depends on where they are having success.
Also is it really worth it to bring the fish back to you through the airport and everything? I didn't even really think that was an option but I read a few people doing so.

We sell a lot of Redrum trips with CCA. I cannot count how many people have come back the next year and told me how wonderful their trip was. When I am in Cabo next, I am going with Redrum too!

Had a great time chasing roosters with him around to the Pacific side of the arches. Always figured I'd go back to see if he would take me out for billfish stand up.

Draggin this one up.
Have used Jaime/Dr. Pescado for Roosters and it was, well, great. Big Roosters on the Pacific side. Heading back, and wanted to see if anyone has used him for standing up with Marlin? I know he does it because we spoke of it on our trip. He did comment that Roosters of the size we caught fought just as hard as a smaller size Marlin would, but obviously we had no "show".
Anyone have this experience with standing up Marlin with Jaime/Dr. Pescado?

Is Pancho the seal still around ? We fed him several times when he jumped up on the back of our boat, that was prob 6-7 years ago. He was huge

Does that bother you at all? It did me. Paid extra for live bait that the boat caught just outside the harbor. Cost was minimal . Fish for the day. End of day they fed some bait fish to the Seal. Dumped the rest back in where they caught them.
We had been skunked that day and the baitfish was looking promising.
This was not on Dr Pescado

He is still there and had two or three lady friends with him this year. It is the highlight of the trip for my wife when she gets to feed him!
And back to the OP, I have fish the El Budster for years and have never had any complaints. Have caught marlin, Sailfish, Rooster (62" monster) and many huge mahi.

Fished Pisces for a half a day last April. Was a bit disappointed to only catch a shark but it didn't seem for lack of effort or knowledge. I believe the timing of the year really affects how successful you are going to be.
Really like their operation however. You arrive at the dock and are on the boat leaving the harbor within 15 mins.

The bait is for dropping back to marlin that come into the spread and don't eat the lures. And for pitching at marlin that are tailing.
You get bait for a situation like that. Not necessarily to just fish with.

I've fished with Pisces a few times and have never been disappointed. Fished on the "Tracy Ann" in June and landed four Marlin.

We fished with Pisces thanksgiving week on Reel Primos, landed one striped marlin, limit on Dorado, and had a couple other marlin in the teasers, couldn't get them to eat. Great day

In reply to Matt L.
we're a big fishing family...taking wife and 14 y/o down to Cabo next Thanksgiving specifically for fishing. Plan is to book 2 days offshore with main targets of dorado and snapper and 1 day rooster with room to sneak in a 4th day at last minute if possible. I was looking at Pisces fleet of 31 foot boats just like what you used. So hoping you wouldn't mind telling me more about your experience
how many were ya'll?
how was space?
how was comfort?
did you do half day or full?
did you do package with lunch included or bring your own food?
did you buy extra baits?

anybody know how to contact Jaime Rendon?
also, we are looking to go in November but I hear rooster fishing isn't good then...so do we even bother?
that would stink as its a bucket list fish!! My plan was to book one half day offshore for mahi (maybe tuna) and reef fish...then 2 days later book with Jaime to target rooster...while there might as well try....and then 2 days after that do another offshore

I don't have that contact info, but November is great for Mahi, as well as Striped Marling. We caught 4 Mahi and 2 striped in about 3 hours in November 2 years ago. It was fantastic.
We were told that Roosterfish was not likely in November, but I did see 2 or 3 come in on boats at the marina, just not very many at all.

That's all I got. If this doesn't work, maybe he retired.
Eta-maybe shoot him a text. He was slow to respond, but did in the past.
