End May on a Great Note!!!

It is a good feeling to have 2 great days of fishing back to back! Although the winds are howling now it was dead calm all day.

Krista and Brit Balant were all set to fish on Reel Rum this morning. One problem, Omar could not figure out his live-well wasn't pumping water through it. Omar did not want to have to take his clients out if he could not assure live bait. With quick thinking he said "why don't I take Tantrum, Cesar doesn't have a charter today". Now, whether Omar just wanted to take Tantrum out or he was really having problems with his live well, we'll never know!! Anyways, it turned out to be a great day for the Balants as they were able to catch and release 5 Stripe Marlin and back a little before 2:00pm. We can't let Omar get used to Tantrum now!!

Javier had an excellent day himself fishing with Americo and the Budneys. After a little mishap on the boat and loosing a rod and reel the team quickly got back in the game and together Team Rum Runnin reeled in 4 Stripe Marlin. Three of the Marlin were able to be released. Great day!!

NHL star, Andy Sutton fished on El Nuevo this morning with his father. They headed out with Alex and Marshall and were able to catch and release 2 Stripe Marlin to start their day off. One of the Stripes put up a heck of a fight Andy told me while showing pictures of a Monster Stripe. To bring their excellent day to an end, they were able to catch a massive Pacific Sailfish. The pictures I saw looked like it weighed well over 115 pounds! Great Job, nice meeting you guys. Good Luck to you Andy.

Time to start looking foward to the great fishing in June...and the heat!!!
