Thursday, January 17th

With the fish becomming a little more difficult to find at Golden Gate the Redrum crews headed toward Jamie Banks to test their luck there.

The bite did not really turn on until later in the morning for all of our boats. Javier was the first to report on Rum Runnin that he had caught a nice size Dorado at around 10:00am. That was all we heard from him the rest of the day. The Brooke Martin and her husband were in good spirits though as they just arrived in Cabo and had a beautiful day on the water!

Cesar hooked up with a Stripe Marlin on Tantrum while fishing with Mr. Peterson and his pal shortly after Rum Runnin hooked up. He was able to spot another, pitch a live bait right at it and hook him for the 2nd Marlin catch of the day. Mr. Peterson also reeled in a Dorado for a little dinner treat!

El Nuevo and Reel both Nordlund party were able to Catch and Release a pair of nice size Stripe Marlin. Omar and Jesus took out Kip Dupuis and his brother-in-law on Reel Rum and were also able to get them into a pair of Stripe Marlin, one Marlin over 200 pounds according to Omar. The boys never lie about the size of their catch to eachother!!

With the fish moving away from Golden Gate it is going to be interesting to see where they will pop up. Hopefully many of them will start popping up around the Redrum boats.

The New 54' Hatteras sets off from San Diego tomorrow morning and should arrive in Cabo 4-5 days after that. Please keep your fingers crossed that everything goes well and soon we will have a great new addition to the Redrum fleet!
