Despite the amount of fish spotted all day by the Redrum team, hooking a Marlin seemed to be a difficult task today. There were loads of fishing chasing bait balls and sitting on the surface around the Lighthouse area today. El Nuevo produced the best outcome by catching and releasing 3 Stripe Marlin. Juan, the mate on El Nuevo was able to hook up with all three early in the morning. Derek Retter and his family were very pleased with their outcome and the way that Alex and Juan handled the day. They heard about the lack of fish being hooked up today and were satisfied with the 3 Stripes.
Jesus and Cesar fished together on Reel Rum and were able to hook up with a Stripe Marlin. It was brought up to the boat and had its picture taken with the Caldwells, quickly put back in the water for a release.
Tantrum and Rum Runnin both had slow days as they tried everything they could to get a Marlin hook up. Mr. Anaya and his son had a great time being on the water together aboard Tantrum even though they came back empty handed. Mr. Anaya understands that fishing is not catching! It is also good that he is teaching his son, who is very knowledgeable about fishin about the slow times as well.
Hopefully the bite will pick up tomorrow! I will be sure to keep everyone posted.

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
