Hi everyone,
Planning a trip for November. would love to hear about your experiences with hotels, places to see, things to do and of course the fishing scene. which guides/operations to seek out who to avoid etc... looking at a day of deep sea or a couple of inshore out of a Panga, still undecided. thanks for any and all input.

We have fishing with these guys twice. http://www.elbudster.com/

First trip with them was in January 3 years ago. We caught 12-15 Dorado. Just missed a big shark bite, and also caught a handful of small tuna. Drank a lot of beer and slayed the fish, was wicked!!!

Fished with them again this past January. We caught 10 Yellowfin Tuna (Ahi) , 1 striped Marlin, and 1 Dorado. Both very fun trips. They have a few boats running now. I have always fished with Captain Endy and first mate Ismael (Smiley). They are a good crew. Will let you rig baits/lines if you know how, etc. They work to find the fish and put you on them for around $475 US last time i checked. In typical mexican fashion the "other guys" will try and tell you to buy more ice, more bait, lunch, beer, water, charge you for filleting fish. Don't let them pressure you. I've dealt with their rep in the USA, named Mike, and also their rep at the marina, his name is Mike too. Both good to deal with.

We have fished with these guys twice and it was awesome both times. A bit cooler back in the day when you rode a wave up onto the beach, but great both times.

X2 on Gordo Banks. I spend a fair bit of time there as well. Ask to go with Tony or Chami. They both have 26 ft super pangas and fish hard!

I remember those days Macario would wait for the right wave and gun it.

I met Tony last February, his boat caught a nice amber jack around 50 lbs.

Clarki, Wild canyon adventures zip line was a lot of fun. Snorkeling at Chileno beach was great as well, lots of fish to see. A glass bottom boat tour in Cabo is a must with a stop at lovers beach. The kids swam with the dolphins in San Jose as well and enjoyed it. Lots of great restaurnts as well , try the Toro Guerro ( Blonde Bull ) great sea food and Zippers for the atmosphere off a surfer beach half way between San Jose and Cabo.
