Catch-up Report

Sorry about the delay folks. I let the Redrum Christmas Party get the best of me this past weekend and I've been moving slowly ever since! On Sunday the Redrum Crew celebrated the season with a dinner for the whole family. Owners John and Ryan Donovan invited all the captains, mates, and office staff plus thier families to Misiones de Kino for a night of great food, great drinks, gifts, stories and laughter. The next day we closed the office and hauled the team to Wild Canyon Tours for a day of Zip Lining through the mountains of Baja off Tule Beach. Check for the pictures on next months NewsReel.

Yesterday it was back to business. We start with the Duncan party. They headed out on El Nuevo for a full day of fishing. Their primary target was Marlin and Marlin is what they got! Alex and Juan were able to hook them each up with a nice Stripe Marlin for catch and release. When their day was over they were thrilled that they had such a great boat, crew, and luck! Perfect day for the Duncans!

The Navares party headed out on Reel Rum and had a great time themselves. Ramon explained to me that the fish were "super hungry, throw the bait in and they take it right away" so I guess the boys had their work cut out for them as long as they can get the bait in the water. Trolling on their way back in they were also able to hook a Dorado for dinner! What a way to finish the day!

Our very own John Donovan headed out for a day aboard Tantrum. John took George Matzunaga, our Marina Manager with him for a day to look for Tuna. Cesar, who is George's son hooked them into plenty of Tuna for quite a busy day. They ended they day with 10 Yellowfin Tuna and a Needlefish. It was the first time in 13 years that George has fished on a boat. He captained boats for over 20 years and is one of the better known Skippers in Cabo. He gave up the Captain seat to become the Marina Manager for Redrum many 13 years ago and his been with us ever since. Anyone who has fished with Redrum knows George and his knowledge for the area, fishing, and killer sashimi! I guess we know why Cesar is such a great fisherman!

Til next time...

Adios,

Luis
Team Redrum
