January 8th, 2008

Mr. Garamendi and his party 0f 7 headed out with Alex for a long day on the water. Although they were only able to boat 1 Stripe Marlin they spotted "at least 40" said Juan. All the anglers agreed that it was not because of lack of effort that they did not grab more as the boys did everything they could and tried new ways all day long. It's fishing! El Nuevo will head out tomorrow in search for the hungry Marlin!!

Reel Rum spotted a 300 plus pound Swordfish basking in the water and tossed bait for 20 minutes but to no avail. That has been the first Swordfish spotted this year and it is a great sign of good fishing to follow. Omar and Jesus were able to hook the Sauve into a Marlin for a catch and release as well as a Dorado for dinner.

Javier and Manuel headed out for a short day with the Thorley party. The Thorleys came in on the Royal Caribbean cruise line and we able to fish 4 quick hours with us. In the 4 hours they fished Mr. Thorley was able to hook a Stripe Marlin and a Dorado. Mr. Thorley thought the Marlin would look great in his house so he decided to get a fiberglass replica made to forever keep the memory!

With all the boats heading out tomorrow we hope to keep the fish count rising for 2008!!

Monday Afternoon Recap

Buenos Dias!! Couldn't get around to filling everyone in on the yesterdays action so before I start my day in the Redrum office here it goes...:

Yet again Cesar returned back from fishing with outriggers full of flags flying high. Before the day was over Tantrum with angler Jeff Stedman was able to catch and release 6 Stripe Marlin. What made it special was he showed up from a cruise ship at 8:00am and had all 6 Marlin released by 1:00 pm!

Our buddy from the Make-A-Wish Foundation Dave Pirie came down with his wife for a couple days of fishing. On their second day out they headed out on Reel Rum with thier favorite Captain Omar. They had a great day fishing catching and releasing a Stripe Marlin, boating 3 Dorado and a Wahoo.

Mike Anderson brought his group of buddies down for a few days of fishing with Redrum. Yesterday was their first day aboar Rum Runnin and El Nuevo. The group on Rum Runnin returned back with 2 Stripe Marlin as well as a couple of Dorado. El Nuevo, the boat Mike was on boated 3 Stripe Marlin and a Dorado for dinner. They will be at it again tomorrow and Friday so keep yourselves posted to see how they do.

El Nuevo and Reel Rum headed out this morning while Rum Runnin will head out at 10:30 for a half-day. Cesar and Americo are taking their day with no charter to fine tune all the equipment on the boat and give Tantrum a shine.

It looks like it's going to be another beautiful day in Cabo. Todays high looks like it's going to be around 80 degrees, no clouds, and little to no wind. In other words, a perfect day to fish!
