Summary of Trip with Redrum

I recieved this email from Duane Hons who fished with us just a few days ago. I thought I would share his exciting summary of his trip with Redrum.

"I have confirmed that December is the right time for Cabo! We arrived on Wednesday afternoon to 81 degrees and sun! A few Cervesas and Margaritas at Misiones De Kino and we were to bed fairly early to prepare for an early morning of fishing. Left the marina at 6:30 and right away we had a Dorado hook up. Next up was my friend Sam with a 5.5 foot Mako Shark! Then it was on to the Marlin. Day one we caught 4 Marlin from 120-215 pounds. MINE WAS THE BIGGEST and measured 113 inches long!!! For Dinner, it was off to Miguel Loco's, they almost had to roll us out of the restaurant!

Day 2 was another fast start on SolMar I and we ended up with 5 Marlin from 120-180, one for each of us. I think my Dad and my buddy Russ were both in the 170-180 range. A few other hook ups that either broke the line, (one mako) and we were done with another great day.

For Day 3 we had an oppurtunity to fish at the infamour Finger Banks! We were ready early for the 3 hour ride out. We ended up with 14 Marlin with Russ and I each with a 99 inch(170-180) and I eclipsed that with a 105 inch (190+). We probably had 5-10 more on for short periods and it was truly pandemonium. We caught those 14 in 4 hours. I figure 30 minutes on average so that is over 7 hours of reeling!! ALL in 4 hours! Then a 3 hour trip back and all were dozing!! Not a whole lot of fish to eat this time, but having Marlin swirling at bait fish under the boat and seeing so many it was simply incredible. There were times when we would look under the boat from the bridge and see 20-30 marlin all at the same time. Just pounding on the bait ball!!! It was tough to come home from the 85 degree weather to 20 degrees and wind chill of about zero when we stepped off the plane last night

Thanks again for the WONDERFUL service and taking such good care of us. You guys always seem to amaze us by going above and beyond your expectations."
