El Nuevo Redrum had luck on her side today as many boats around the marina came back empty handed. Alex ran 30 miles to get to his "honey hole" where he was able to catch and release 2 Stripe Marlin. One of the Marlin put in a good fight lasting almost an hour. They also caught 2 Dorado. One of the Dorado, over 60 pounds got off right before Slim could gaff it. It had been false hooked near the eye and never hooked correctly.
Red Beam had a Sailfish strike but couldn't keep the fish on. Javier and Rum Runnin had 3 Sailfish get off as well. The boat was also able to raise 2 Stripe Marlin but Americo couldn't get them take the bait.
Utopia, El Nuevo, Rum Runnin and Reel Rum are on deck to head out tomorrow with hopefully a little more luck than today. They may have to buy Alex dinner to find out where he fished today!
A very Happy Birthday to Redrum angler from South Texas, Tommy Vela. We'll make sure to have a tequila for you at RIPs tonight!!
