Grandpa, the $150 was my part of the trip. It was $450 for the day for the three of us.

No, I didn't see Sammy, I did spend a fair amount of time in town, my favorite place became a little cantina called Lobster Tacos and Beer. One of the things that I recommend is waiting until you are down there to book a boat. We walked the docks on Saturday afternoon and had plenty (actually way too many) choices. Everything is negotiable. We got a good boat with a good captain. I would have brought a hook file though, they did not spend as much care on sharpening as I tend to.

My belief is that with careful shopping, you could do this trip all inclusive for about $1000. Get a couple buddies together, don't stay in the fancy spots, go fishing as many days as you have fishermen (3 fishermen, 3 days) and you would have a great shot at catching a marlin. Almost all of the marlin being caught right now in Cabo are striped marlin. Typically 70 to 200 lbs.

Great place to go in the middle of winter!!!!
