December 22nd Fish Report

The estimated 80 degree weather, strong sun, and no wind led to a pretty good day of fishing for the Redrum boats that headed out today. El Nuevo and Rum Runnin both fished between The Lighthouse and Golden Gate, a spot that has been filled with fish for at least the last 2 months. I have seen countless Marlin released as well as almost double the amount of Dorado as compared from last year.

Today was Marlin all around! Our good local buddy Kaye Peters headed out with her family from out of town. They were an awesome group to host as some minor electrical problems in the morning postponed their departure time. After getting them out I hoped they would have a good day, as I do with all of our anglers heading out. Since I know Kaye I didn't want to have to put up with her making fun of our crews if they didn't put them on the fish! Luckily for me they were fishing with Cesar! When I saw El Nuevo come back this afternoon with 7 Marlin and 7 catch and release flags flying high I was very proud and lucky that Alex and Cesar were on that boat! They did a great job! As did the Peters for reeling in the 7 Marlin! The biggest was a little over 200 pounds pulled in by the smallest member of the party! So to Kaye, Kathy, Ryan, Austin, Lane, Nataly and April, it was a pleasure meeting you guys, take care and enjoy the stories!

Mr. Ian Slome and his son Ben almost did not make their trip to Cabo as they were held up in some nasty weather in the NYC. They're sure glad they made it down! They fished with Rum Runnin today with Javier and Lobo as Manuel has taken a small vacation for the Christmas holiday. Javier and Lobo were able to put them on 3 Stripe Marlin, all for releases. They have one more trip lined up with Rum Runnin on Wednesday to give it their best shot at some more big fish! Cheers and Congrats Slome's!

It's pretty cool that it is 3 days away from Christmas, it's 80 degrees out and sunny outside and the Marlin bite is still going "off"! I know Mark Stange and Jorge Flores are both loving reading this report as they are dressed in probably 15 layers of clothing, gloves and hats on! For the rest of you dressed in layers take down some tequila and keep thinking of us!
