Monday, January 21

The anglers, captains and mates on the Redrum boats today all work hard to start the week off great!
ReelRum was the first back to the slip with 2 Stripe Marlin and a Mako Shark all caught and released. Mr. and Mrs Evans had a great time with Omar and Jesus especially as the Mako shark got closer and Jesus was teasing Mrs. Evans about getting it on the boat! We wouldn't do that to you! Luckily the shark cut through the liter before it got too close to the boat!

Tantrum also ended the day with 2 Stripe Marlin with the Brunton party. They were able to land 2 large Stripe Marlin well over 200 pounds, according to Cesar. Great job guys!

Rum Runnin had a great day with Gary Wall from good ol' Dallas, TX. He was able to catch and release 3 Marlin on his day out with Javier and Manuel aka. Mickey!

Mr. Sauve headed out again with us after his first trip earlier this month. He fished on El Nuevo with Alex and Juan. Alex worked hard getting fish to the boat with his changing of lures. Together they were able to catch and release 2 Stripe Marlin!

Weekend Recap

Let me fill you guys in quickly on what happend over the weekend.

Friday we had the Steve Hayward from Texas bring his buddies down for a couple of days of fun and fishing. They took out Rum Runnin and Tantrum on day one and did fairly well. They were able to boat a total of 6 Stripe Marlin, 2 on Tantrum with Cesar and 4 on Rum Runnin with Javier. Mr. and Mrs Nienczyski headed out with Omar on Reel Rum and caught and released a Stripe Marlin while Alex took out Mr. Merrill and his group and brought in a Stripe Marlin as well.

Saturday the fishing continued to be good as Steve took out Reel Rum and bagged a few more Stripe Marlin totalling their count up to 11 for the 2 days. Not bad if you ask me!

Bruce Billings fished with his 2 sons Brody and Jonny. Talk about nice guys with great luck for fishing! On their first day out with Javier and Rum Runnin they caught and released 4 Stripe Marlin and also caught a Dorado.

This leads us to Sunday. On their second day fishing with Javier they wanted something they could take back to the states with them. They got what they were looking for! At around 10:00 a line went of on the boat. My man Brody was the first to grab the screaming rod as more and more line was heading out. Pretty big Marlin they all throught. Little did they know that on the other end of the line was a 150+ lb Yellow-Fin Tuna! Biggest one I have seen since I moved here over a year ago. Jonny reeled in a couple of Stripe Marlin after that and Bruce was able to get his hands tired fighting a Marlin of his own. It was great meeting you guys and best of luck. Good Luck on the wedding Brody.

Mr. Kilpatrick and his wife headed out on El Nuevo with Alex and Juan. They caught and released 3 Stripe Marlin and brought in a few Skip Jack as well. Here is a copy of the email Jeff sent me upon returning to his hotel.

"We had a great time- catching four marlin and three tuna. We had three other marlin hookup and something chewed through my steel leadered bait-I-magic lure! It was brand new and designed for sharks. alex our captain thought it was probably a wahoo or mako. These leaders are designed for large sharks so it something with a mouth of strong teeth! Crew was great and worked very hard the whole day! We will be back in the high seaon when it must be incredible fishing as compared to the amazing fishing today on your 33' bertram."

The wonderful Mr. and Mrs. Potts fished with Omar and Jesus on Reel Rum and caught and released for Stripe Marlin on a rough day on the water. They got beat up pretty hard but stuck with it and faught the 4 Marlin to the boat as well as a large Mako shark!

The weather was BEAUTIFUL all weekend in Cabo. Highs around 80, no clouds or wind which made for great fishing confitions!
