Saturday & Sunday Report

Saturday Report

The crews on Redrum boats have been working their tails of lately for our anglers. There is no shortage in fish in the area, getting them to bite has been tricky the last couple of days due to a massive full moon Thursday night.

Mr. Griffit headed out with Cesar in look for Tuna. The group headed directly out from the Arch. Once they got to the 1150 fishing grounds the lines were dropped. Tantrum ended the day with 4 YellowFin Tuna.

Jim Collings fished with Omar and Jesus on Reel Rum and landed a heap of Sierra as well as 2 YellowFin Tuna.

Ramon and Juan took El Nuevo out and ended the day with a few yellow tail and a Stripe Marlin.

Our good pal Dave Pirie came to town via cruise ship and had to get out fishing. he and Javier headed out and in the few hours they were out hooked into 4 Stripe Marlin! Jesus and Mannuel worked their tails off to catch and release 4 Stripe Marlin. Javier ran chased Marlin all day while Manuel stayed below pitching bait to the fish. This "run and gun" method paid off as they were the hot boat of the day.

We had a special day on Utopia with the Lowe family. Matthew Lowe has got to have some of the best eyes for spotting fish I have seen in a while. He was spotting Marlin before Captain Rene would spot them. He was very excited to have caught his first Stripe Marlin ever. The fight took over half an hour and the powerful Marlin came up to the boat twice before making his last runs. Once we got him to the boat we measured the fish.... 102" and a little over 200 pounds!! Not bad for his first Stripe. Congrats and keep up the great fishing, you've got talent! Mr. Lowe also hooked into a very nice Stripe Marlin, just as big as Matts. After getting this angry fish to liter 3 seperate times the Marlin would not give up. The 4th time to the boat with the liter the line was cut and the fish was gone! Great fight! Matts little brother Johnny was on dinner duty and did a fabulous job catching 7 Sierra, each weighing at least 15-20 pounds in under 20 minutes! He was even nice enough to share his ceviche with us shortly after it was caught! Great job my friend. I'm pretty sure Jessica got in on some action as well but we all know she had a very busy day!

Sunday Report

Shawn and Lucinda Smith joined us for their second day on the water. After having a Marlin straghten a hook on his first trip - yes the fish was so big it literally straightend the hook- they were at it again with Omar and Jesus. Jesus was able to hook him into a monster 101" Stripe. It was a beautiful catch and couldn't have happend to a nice guy. Enjoy the fish in your Houston home my friend. Think of us every now and than... see you on the Coast! Below I have quoted Shawn on his day out with Redrum:

"On our 1 year anniversary we went on the best trip ever. Jesus and Omar must have thrown bait at 35 Marlin in the 8 hours that we were out. They claimed they had not seen a day like that in years. The accuracy and knowledge Jesus has for fishing is out of this world!! I thought I had seen it all when the last Marlin straightened my hook. I guess not!! This was the most amazing trip we have had in our lives!"

Our friend Pat Labeau and his son headed out with Cesar. Other than having a great time out on Tantrum with Americo and Cesar they caught and released 2 Stripe Marlin and a Mako Shark they will be enjoying for dinner!

Rum Runnin also pulled in a Stripe Marlin to end their day with the Suggs party.
