April 8th Fish Report

I know I probably sounds like I am repeating myself for the 12th time in a row but... what a great day for Stripe Marlin and Yellofin Tuna!

The day started off great when our half-day trip came back with 12 Yellowfin Tuna caught, only a handful kept and more memories to last a lifetime!! Chivo had a great time with the Sunset tour Group and was glad he could put them on the fish so quickly.

Reel Rum headed out with Maria Maloney and her husband Patrick. Jesus and Ramon were able to put the two of them on 4 Stripe Marlin. The couple was able to bring 3 of the 4 to the boat for a catch and release. One of the Stripe Marlins got off. They also caught a nice Yellowfin Tuna on their day out on the 28'.

Red Beam fishing with Mr. Scott Osborne from San Diego. Mr. Osborne had limited time to fish with us being that he came in on a cruise ship at 9am and had to be back to the ship by 3pm. Luckily he arrived early, after getting to know Scott a little bit I learned he had never caught a Billfish. I knew right away that he was on the right boat as Sal and Marshall have been Marlin machines lately. I knew the boys would take good care of him, that they did! He caught and released his first 3 Stripe Marlin ever. He also was casted, baited, and hooked his very own Stripe Marlin to make it 4 catch and releases for the day! For a guy that has never caught Marlin before you acted like you were some professional!! Great job Scott.

Cesar was back to his old ways today with the Mann family! After being a little tired from being sick a couple of weeks Cesar was the first one in the office with more energy in him than I have seen in a while. I knew he was 100% healthy when I saw Tantrum roll back in with 6 Stripe Marlin flags flying as well as 9 Tuna flags! I could barely see the Mann family on the boat with all the flags covering my view!

Alex and Juan also did very well with Mr. Ken Hunter. He and Mr. Gonzalez took out their families for a day out on the water. Half a mile outside of "Cabeza de Ballena" Juan told me that he saw 10 Stripe Marlin crashing on a bait ball that was at least an acre wide. His first attempt to toss the bait was a failure as the Mack. had a weak lip and the bait went flying off! He grabbed the next one and made sure it was on correctly, made a perfect cast and landed a nice Marlin for Mr. Hunter! They were also able to scoop up a few Yellowfin Tuna as well!

Just another all around great day for Redrum and all of its Anglers. We are thankful for everyone that came out today, all the anglers that have come out in the past and the ones that will be with us and experience fishing REDRUM style in the future!!

Saludos!
