October 27th Report

Just Another Day in Fish Paradise

If you are one of those folks that sits and watches FishTV dreaming of being able to catch at least one Billfish in your life you should be emailing me yesterday getting booked to fish on one of Redrum's boats!

Golden Gate has not let up a bit in about 2 weeks. The amount of Stripe Marlin being spotted is amazing. Thankful to a large majority of our clients that are practicing catch and releasing we have been in "high" Marlin season a lot longer than we were last year.

Today was no different. Tantrum headed out with Mr. Paul Powell and his son Jon. They had the pleasure of fishing Mr. Popular Himself, Captain Cesar!! To repeat one part of the day from Paul, he said "as soon as we got to what I think was Golden Gate Cesar opened the boat up to full steam, threw it down in reverse, all while Raymond was getting the live bait ready. Next thing I knew we were hooked up into a Stripe Marlin. Raymond grabbed another rod that was rigged with a live bait hook, took a livey from the bait tank and tossed it out to another Marlin swimming around. He hooked that one too! Cesar maneavered the boat in such a way that we were able to get them both to the boat for pictures. We were exhausted after fighting the fish for over an hour each and it wasn't even 8:15 yet!"

They crew went on to catch and release 2 more Stripe Marlin and headed in early after such a great day on the water!

Our other group came off of the Oosterdam Cruise Ship and were off their tendor and on El Nuevo by 9:00am. Alex got them to Golden Gate about a little under an hour, it was on from their! They were able to catch and releasae 5 Stripe Marlin as well. Off El Nuevo and back to the cruise ship before 3:30! Not many places in the world you can go to that will give you that kind of fishing!

Look for more fish to be brought in as our weather has been excellent lately and November just around the corner!

HOW ABOUT THOSE TCU FROGS?!
