November 3rd Report

Just a few days before the WON Tuna Jackpot starts we are beginning to see a lot of Tuna around! We are crossing our fingers that they stick around for a while but we are definately enjoying them while they are here!

The Kruger party headed out on Rum Runnin today and had an excellent time. Javiers boat Rum Runnin was an awesome showing of Blue Marlin Flags and White Tuna flags when she pulled into her slip. They counted 8 catch and release Stripe Marlin and countless yellowfin tuna! Great job guys thanks for filling our freezers!

Mr. and Mrs Goodnight came in off a cruise ship today and caught and released 3 Stripe Marlin as well as a Sailfish. They were only on the water for a couple of hours and definately stayed busy the whole time. Alex and Juan had a great time fishing with them as well.

The Vela party from the South Texas CCA fished for their second day with us today and continued their success of Stripe Marlin. On day 1, Baldo Vela and his freinds reeled in 14 Stripe Marlin, today they were able to catch and release 6 of them and spent some time reeling in Yellowfin Tuna as well.

The Yzaguirres and Guerras also joined the Velas in thier Father-Son trip this year. The kids fished great with Omar and Americo on Reel Rum. On day one they spent their day catching and releasing 8 of them. Today the group caught 6 Stripe Marlin.

It was great having all the CCA groups down here. We have a great time putting you guys on fish and everyone is first class!

Saludos,

November 2nd Report - Tuna Landing!

Yellow fin have finally arrived!

Red Beam was the first boat of the fleet to arrive in her slip today. When RedBeam pulled into the slip today she was sporting some flags that I had not seen in a long time. Those white Tuna flags sure looked great on one of our boats. It had been too long since I had seen them and they were a beautiful sight to see. It got even better when I saw the size of the Yellowfin that Jay Simmons and his dad pulled in. 4 nice 50+ pound Yellowfin Tuna!! They hit the school early and fished it for a few hours. They were back early and plenty tired! Great job guys!

Our CCA group of the McCoys also had a great time fishing with Javier and Rum Runnin. They caught and released 6 Stripe Marlin and also were able to catch 4 Yellowfin Tuna. They were ecstatic about the catch and had a great time fishing with Javier and Manuel.

Dean Patsko from the West Coast came in off of the Oosterdamn Cruise Ship early this morning. He had just gone through 4 surgeries on his right shoulder after seriously injuring his bicep. Cesar told him that he would take care of him and help him out if they might hook into a Marlin. Might they sure did! In 5 hours Cesar and Mr. Patsko were able to catch and release 14 Stripe Marlin and a Sailfish! My hat goes off to Mr. Patsko, great job my friend!

Dave Kruger and his gang had a great time fishing with Alex and Juan. A few mechanical problems did not slow them down as they were able to catch and release heaps of Stripe Marlin as well as Yellowfin Tuna! Great job guys!
