Going to Cabo in April. Staying at the Secrets Los Cabo’s Was wanting to do a half day trip to catch some rooster fish if possible. Any recommendations?

Did you end up using RedRum? If so, how was it? We are heading to Cabo in January and were looking at them for a full day charter. Hoping to find some YFT or Rooster Fish. It looks like January is also a great time for Makos which would be awesome.
What boat did you charter?

How many are in your group? Also depends on where you end up going to fish. I would go with their 42' or 46' boats, especially if you plan to go west and fish the Pacific Current. I would highly advise not taking a small boat out into the current where you will get rocked.

There will be six of us, four guys and two ladies so I want to make sure they are comfortable on the boat and don't get sea sick.
Any other tips or recommendations? Two of us are pretty serious fishermen but the others are just coming because we suggested it.

I would go with either the 46' or 60' boats then for sure.
Also, get prescription Scop patches from your doc. Dramamine won't help out there if the seas are rough. They're small round patches you stick on behind your ear the day before your fishing trip.

Then you should know better.
We use Picante and they run 46' Cabos. The Pacific moves much differently than the Gulf. The Gulf can get big rollers but the Pacific almost moves up and down in giant quarter mile blocks. 6-8' seas in the Pacific is much different than 6-8 in the Gulf.

Everyone on the boat (ladies included) has offshore fished at least a couple of times. Most on nice catamaran center consoles out of Venice.
I know nothing about the fishing down there so that's why I was trying to find some additional info. Appreciate that, its a huge help.

It's very different, and more erratic than fishing in the GOM. For one, the Pacific Current is a beast and runs right along the western coast and tip of Baja, which drops off to deeper water very quickly. Throw some wind in, and your sea state can easily go from moderate to rough 8-9' waves. I've fished it in both moderate and rough states, out in the current and more in towards the Sea of Cortez (Gordo Banks). To be safe, just go with the bigger boat within your group's budget for fishing. Plus you get more elbow room and they're nicer inside anyways.

Go down to the marina the day before and talk to some of the locals. Find the boats with the most flags flying with the fish you want to catch and that's usually your best bet. Also, you can negotiate prices at the dock. You will probably go out in a 24' panga for rooster fish. I went in May a couple years ago and caught more roosterfish than my arms could handle, so April should be a good time to catch them. If I remember correctly, we got the boat for $150 or 200/boat for a 6 hour day and we provided our own drinks/food/fishing license. We caught a ton of Mahi on the way out/in too. The roosterfish spot was only a couple miles north of the marina along the shoreline.

I’ve done the pangas several times. As posted, go down to the dock and pick a boys that looks well kept and preferably a guide that speaks a little English. I’ve caught Sails and Mahi in close and it’s a different perspective catching them at water level than in a sportsfisherman. Used to be about $25-30/hour.
For the bigger boats, as mentioned, Red Rum and Picante are good, and I’ve used Pisces several times. Their classic 31’ Bertrams are some fish raising machines.
