Friday, January 25th

The infamous Homer Jones and his wife Barbara headed out with Cesar for a day to try to catch Marlin. They went out with the right captain and the right boat! Tantrum put Barbara on her first Stripe Marlin, and added 4 more to Homer's count! They also had 2 Stripe Marlin that got off as well. It was a pleasure having them fish Redrum. Cesar and Americo said you 2 are welcomed back anytime.

El Nuevo pulled in right after Tantrum. Mr. and Mrs. Mukon headed out with Alex and Juan and were able to pull in a nice size Wahoo as well as a Tuna.

Steve Pohlman came in off a Cruise Ship and fished just long enough with Javier and Manuel to get onto a nice Stripe Marlin.

Mr and Mrs. Bennett walked into the Redrum office checking to see if we had any extra boats available for the day. It just so happened that ReelRum was not booked. I looked over at Omar and Jesus who were happily enjoying their breakfast and told them to get the boat ready. Excited, they both wrapped up their meals and hustled down to the boat to start the engine and head out. Mr. and Mrs. Bennett were able to catch and release 2 Stripe Marlin before heading back. They claim that Jesus "was the hardest working mate they had ever seen". That means a lot comming from a couple that has fished just about everywhere!

Friday night in Cabo San Lucas!

Attack of the Giant Squid!!

Our (2) 28' ft. boats got into a mess of Giant Squid today. The Marceau party hooked themselves into 4 Giant Squid while fishing on Tantrum with Cesar. Each of the squid were well over 6ft long. Cesar and Americo also worked to get them on 5 Yellow-fin Tuna as well as a Dorado. ReelRum was getting into a mess of squid just a mile or so away from Tantrum. The Sillman party fished on ReelRum and was able to catch 3 Yellowfin Tuna, catch and release 1 Stripe Marlin and 3 Giant Squid. The Tuna provided dinner at Misiones De Kino where we ran into them just as they were finishing up. "Best dinner we have had in Cabo", Mr. Sillman told us.

El Nuevo and Rum Runnin were able to stay clear of the Squid but were still able to get on the fish. Blase Barbera and his group of buddies came down to fish on our two larger boats. Alex and Juan were able to catch and release 2 Stripe Marlin with Mr. Barbera and 2 of his buddies. The other (3) anglers fished with Javier and Manuel and were able to catch 4 Yellofin 1 Dorado and catch and release a Stripe Marlin.

Our Marina Manager George said that Squid will eat anything and everything including eachother when roaming around. Although it is a good sign of fish being around the area the squids are chasing them down as well.
