The RedRum boys once again found the fish, they were a ways out there, but we found them. With warmer water out 20 miles towards the Sea of Cortez, folks had a bit of ride before we got them on the fish. Still an abundance of squid in the water, candy for the fish. Nearly every Dorado belly has had squid in it over the past week or so.
Paul Mattingly, unfortunately was the unlucky angler today. Heading out with Omar and Americo, which is usually a good sign, was not super successful today. While they saw fish, and had some action, they couldn't get anything to stay on long enough to bring it to the boat.
Greg Trefethen, our east coast buddy, headed out one more time today(had to get one more day in.) Today's trip was an anniversary present from his wife. Congrats on 47 years guys. Greg got all he could handle panga fishing inshore. He caught 10 nice Yellowtail, keeping his limit and giving the meat to both the RedRum office staff and the crew. (Didn't I just talk about this yesterday?) Congrats on a great day, Greg,
Eric and Karen McKay headed out for a half-day adventure with Marshall on the RedBeam and it seemed like the fish started biting just as their half-day was coming to an end. They were able to land one nice Dorado and battle a Shark before they headed back to the Marina.
Laura and Charles Meyers, my dad's neighbors in California, and their friends James and David Cloonan, Randy Beasley and Jerry Banning were lucky enough to head out with Alex and Ramon on El Nuevo. While they too headed for the warm water and the Dorado that have been roaming the area, they were lucky enough to catch and release 2 Marlin. Congrats and thanks for coming down to visit us.
Finally, on Rum Runnin we had Steve Hanson and his crew of David, Mark and Ryan. Looks like each of the guys got to pull on a fish as Javier and Manuel were able to hook them up with One Marlin and Three Dorado. Dorado for dinner, always tasty!

Awesome day on the water for RedRum anglers...
Today was a fabulous day for RedRum, a little windy but that didn't stop the fish from biting. The crews headed out to the warm water they found 15-20 miles straight off the Arch and once again had great success. With an abundance of squid in the water, getting the fish to bite live bait or artificial lures has been a bit tricky but today we got the job done. Winds at 20k and water temps in the low 70's should stay the same for the next few days.
Omar was the first to return around 2pm with 3 Dorado for Harry and Jerry who were sharing the boat. Omar said he saw tons of Marlin but most were not interested in bait or lures, he had a little action from them but no hook-ups. Glad we could get you guys out there.
Ramon and Cesar were the next to make it back with Brant and Carol Pate and Lou, Robert and Jade Simmons aboard El Nuevo RedRum. The Aggieland crew did well with the Horned Frog company today boating 4 nice Dorado, two over 40 lbs. They also spotted a ton of Marlin but once again, they couldn't garner any interest. They are heading over to Misiones de Kino to get the filets cooked up. Have to say I am a bit jealous. (It is always in the best interest of "Fish Karma" to offer a filet or two to the office staff.)
Finally, the top awards for the day go to Javier and Manuel on Rum Runnin who fished with Andrew Fox, Brandon Martin, Mike Dwyer and Wendy Weiler. They too headed south 15-20 miles and trolled dead bait and artificial lures in Petrolero and Black and Red colors. They were able to land 4 nice Dorado and caught and released 2 nice Striped Marlin. Congrats guys, hope to see you back down here soon.
Until tomorrow...

Mucho Viento...
Translation = a lot of wind.
Lots of wind on the water today and some interesting water temps as well. Alex and Omar on El Nuevo and ReelRum headed back to the Pacific today towards the Jaime Bank. 69 degree water was waiting for them and they both quickly headed south. Omar made a big loop to the south with Ryan Dick and Ericka Murphy. They cruised out almost 20 miles at one point and finally found some action. They got into a nice school of porpoise and found some TUNA. They weren't able to get too many bites, but they did succeed in bringing in the first Yellowfin of the year for RedRum anglers. Congrats guys, great stuff.
Alex on El Nuevo with the Upshaw party also made a turn towards the south and the warmer water and was able to find Dorado. Alex and Ramon are making quite a team and they were able to get 5 or 6 strikes throughout the day. The Upshaw crew was able to bring in one really nice Dorado and they fought with several others, one for more than 20 minutes before the fish spit the hook. Spent some time in the office with the crew after they got back and really enjoyed their company. Hope to see them back in Cabo soon.
Winds should die down a bit tomorrow. Hopefully we can find that school of porpoise again, and get those Dorado to stay on the line.
Hasta Luego!

Dorado Saturday
It’s a great afternoon in Cabo San Lucas, the sun still shinning high in the sky awarding us with a temperature of 75 degrees and wind coming from the south east at 12 mph.
Playing out in the water for the second day in a row were George and Ron Powell along with two of their buddies. The vessel of the day was our 32’ RedBeam led by Captain Marcial and Mate Mu~neca (translation: doll? I’m still not sure why they call him that, maybe next week). They matched yesterday with another gorgeous Dorado. Besides catching dinner they got to do a bit of whale watching out on the sea of Cortez as well as spotting plenty of marlin (guess they weren’t hungry), dolphins and manta rays.
On our other 32’ RumRunnin, Captain Javier and Mate Mickey headed out to the sea of Cortez as well, parking in front of Cabo’s stunning Chileno bay known for the best snorkeling in the area. Hailing from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Scott Jones and his wife were out to catch a meal this morning and that they did, bringing in two more Dorado’s. Along the way they were visited by a mother whale and her calf and teased by a few marlins as well.
Stumbling in an hour or so after sunrise, and after the two other groups, was our bachelor party of eight. Heck, who can blame them. Unfortunately it seems that they weren’t the only ones with hangovers as the fish seemed to duck away into their own private havens. After a courageous attempt, the group decided to head back to dry land where the ground doesn’t move so much. At least they were well prepped for their day with cold beer!
Until ma~nana!

Fish Filled Friday
Another clear and cloudless sunny day in Cabo San Lucas. The air temperature is sitting at 82 degrees Fahrenheit with a 16 mph wind coming from the South. Both boats in the RedRum fleet headed out to the Sea of Cortez where water temperature was at 74 degrees Fahreneheit.
The Rod and Krissie Schick along with Lana and Steve Davies and Ryan Nicholson headed out on RumRunnin this morning with Javier and Manuel. They are visiting us in Cabo from Seattle and Mukilteo, Washington. They cruised out to the Sea of Cortez where on their way they spotted a few Marlin at bank 95 on the surface. They immediately had one on after pitching some live bait. This happened at 7:20 am as Steve Davies told me and boom they reeled it in and released it. They couldn’t get the other ones to bite so they moved on. At the surface near the shore of Santa Maria beach they got into a ton of Dorado. They were able to catch 4 Dorado out of the 8 they had on line with dead bait and lures. They ‘re freezing some up here at the office and taking a few fillets to dinner as well. They were ecstatic at the service provided by Manuel and Javier. Kudos to the crew and great job out there guys, we look forward to posting the photos!
El Nuevo was the 2nd boat going out in the RedRum fleet today. On board was Dan Hlavachek from Milwaukee, George Powell from New Hampshire, Andreas Klotz from Milwaukee and Ron Powell from Massachusetts. They too headed out to the Sea of Cortez with Alex and Ramon, on day 1 of their 2 day fishing adventure. They stayed out in front of Santa Maria, Palmilla and Cabo Real as well. They were fishing with dead bait as well and had up to 4 dorado on, but were only able to bring one to the boat. It seemed there were quite a few out there, just tough to get them on board. Well done guys, we’ll see you on the RedBeam tomorrow.
Thanks for checking in!

March 26th
A warm 81 degrees Fahrenheit here in Cabo with a slight breeze coming from the SE at 13 mph makes for a beautiful day on the beach or on the water. The spring breakers are still at it all over town, boozing it up and having a grand ole time in Cabo. It’s hard not to with weather like this.
Debbie and Tom Perez visiting from Peoria, Arizona arrived ready to play this morning. The duo was paired up with Captain Javier, aka “Chivo” (look that up in the dictionary for a good laugh), and his Mate Mickey. With low winds and a pretty great water temperature for the season they played a great game out in the Sea of Cortez and came back with big smiles and two nice sized Dorado’s.
Judy and Gary headed out on ReelRum with Omar and Americo. Enjoying their spring vacation in Cabo coming from New Jersey they headed out to the Sea of Cortez. They cruised out to Gordo Banks in hopes of getting a marlin bite, they were everywhere jumping around along with some porpoise, but no bites there. After heading over to the 1150 bank they were able to reel in a nice dorado. Well done guys. We look forward to seeing those pictures.
After visiting with his lovely wife in the office for a while, we were greeted by Greg upon his return from a trip to the Sea of Cortez aboard the RedBeam. He had a great day on the water pulling in 3 dorados. He and his wife are debating on where to take it for dinner, should they go back to the hotel and spring for a $17 preparation, which is outrageous, or stop by somewhere on the marina for a quick taco? Decisions. Decisions.

Slow day today...
Fish were a bit finicky today unfortunately, but as our good friend Willy MacMullan put it "it was still a great day on the water." Water temps looked good at 72 to 73 on the Sea of Cortez today but it didn't translate into big time hook-ups.
Willy and Pam MacMullan, our good friends from Massachusetts and the ISL, took their two boys out for a day on the water in Cabo San Lucas. They really wanted to hook a Marlin as they rarely get a chance at one up in the Northeast. They saw a few Marlin, but just couldn't get them to bite. Willy and the boys reported Dolphins, Whales and even Thresher Sharks breaching throughout the day. They even saw some free jumping Marlin, but no interest from them when the baits started flying. They finished up the day with one nice Dorado to take to dinner at Misiones De Kino.
The same was true for the crew on ReelRum. Mike, Nancy, and Jason Hoke along with Tiffany Carria saw plenty of action on the water today. The problem was, they were only able to land one Dorado. Blame it on the moon guys. Hope to see you back down here soon.
Finally we had the Aldridge Party who took out Utopia today. These guys were down last year and were here when the Marlin were practically jumping in the boat. Unfortunately, they missed the bite by a few weeks this year. They told Rene and Luis that they wanted to hook all the fish today and so far they have missed a big Dorado and a Marlin, we will see what the rest of the afternoon has in store. Knowing Rene they should be back by the time I get the boats off tomorrow morning.

Tuesday the 24th
Today was another great day for Dorado in Cabo San Lucas. I was driving back from San Jose this morning and saw a bunch of boats out in front of Cabo del Sol and relayed the info to my Captains and it made all the difference. Marshall fished the Red Beam today with the Matias party and was able to land 3 nice Dorado with several others spitting the hooks during the fight. On Rum Runnin with Javier and Cesar we had Aaron, Ron and Sue Brothen as well as Brent Christiansen. They were also lucky on the Dorado front bringing in two real nice keepers. Finally, on ReelRum with Omar and Americo was Craig and Alice Grosseto. They were the top anglers today with 5 nice Dorado, they threw a few back and kept two nice fish for dinner.
Water was a beautiful blue color and water temps were in the low 70's. Live Caballito and trolled lures were the bait of choice today with our crews.

Photos of yesterday's Mako
Mark Fimbres was nice enough to send in some pics of the awesome Mako they caught yesterday, they thought it was about a 6 footer...
Fishing with RedRum
David Stumpe and his buddy Scott Chadwich fished with us on March 8th, during the peak of the Marlin Frenzy. They took some footage and posted it on YouTube, check it out.

Monday March 23rd
The seas were calm out on the Sea of Cortez today with some overcast clouds.
First boat back was the half day charter aboard our partner boat Anzuelo II with Captain Rafa. Mark along with wife Jane and daughter Margaux and friend Alex had a great time on the water. They spoke of seeing lots of whales, porpoise, and some marlin passing by. They reeled in a mako shark, about a 6 footer right from the start. They also got into some squid as well, reeling in 3 of those monsters. One of the girls had a nice dorado on line for a while but couldn’t get it on board, but gave it a good fight. So great to meet you guys and look forward to seeing some pictures!
Alan and Katie come from my hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska, they are family of my dear friend Nichol who I grew up with. And actually the first time I came to Cabo was with her family back in 1994! Anywho, they headed out with Omar and Americo aboard ReelRum. They had a bit of a slower day compared to the other RedRum boats on the water but were able to reel in 2 skipjack tunas. Sorry I couldn’t get more fish to bite for you guys.
Also out again on the water today was Joe Assenza, our buddy who joined up to help the local soccer kids program called MundoStar. He booked a Stay & Play package and is staying in the Portofino Condos. He headed out on RumRunnin today with Javier and Mickey. The first did a bit of fishing right near the Arch and got into some sierra, about 4 total. They then headed out to the Sea of Cortez, where they reeled in one dorado, which they’ll be taking to Misiones de Kino for dinner. They also reeled in one stripped marlin while out there, but unfortunately it didn’t make it in the fight. We look forward to seeing you guys back again.
Douglas and Roger headed out on the RedBeam. They are visiting us from Wisconsin and California. These two brother-in-laws had a great day on the water while the sister they married relaxed by the pool. They had a great time with Marcial and along with other boats saw tons of marine life. Anything from jumping sting rays to porpoise to even some marlin at the Sea of Cortez. They ended up with 3 dorado as well as one catch and release marlin. They gave some dorado to the crew and will take the rest to dinner at Misiones de Kino this evening.
El Nuevo headed out with Rick coming in from the NCL Star Cruise Ship. They didn’t depart until about 11:00 and headed out to the Sea of Cortez. Out with Alex, this group from Idaho also saw quite a bit of action on the water. They reeled in 4 dorado in their short half day trip! Very well done guys! Please send us some pictures.

Moving a little slow today...
On the water, and in the office. Last night's festivities were a blast! Brooke and I hosted a Tacky Tourist Party in honor of all the Spring Breakers in town. We figured we needed to give our local friends an outlet to make fools of themselves like the rest of the folks in Cabo right now. With the final "tourists" leaving around 3:30am, Brooke and I are moving a bit slow today.
First boat to return today was El Nuevo RedRum with Andy Strine and his boys. This was Andy's second trip this week with us and it sounds like they had another nice day on the water. The Dorado aren't exactly slamming the lures when they are interested so that is causing a lot of fish to be lost after the strike. The guys on El Neuvo had 6 bites slow trolling live bait and then lures and were able to bring in 2 Dorado. Nice size fish as well.
Next back was Randy and his crew from Joe Assenza's group. Randy dropped back by the office to let us know that they had a very nice day on the water. They encountered some finicky fish and weren't able to land any, but they said the weather was great on the water. A little bumpy with the wind picking up on the way back in, but nice blue 72 degree water on the Cortez where they fished.
Next was Scott Fulton and his boy Trey. Trey was feeling a bit under the weather last night and they weren't sure that he was going to be able to make it. Fortunately, a good night sleep was all he needed. Scott and Trey had a nice day bringing in 2 Bull Dorado's and 2 female Dorado's. The Bull's had some decent size to them as well, Scott said he had a 30lber and 25lber.
Finally, we had the rest of Joe Assenza's group on Rum Runnin. Joe and his crew were able to reel in 4 dorado out on the Sea of Cortez as well as one nice sized cabrilla and some sierra as well. Joe and his crew are staying in the Portofino Condos and have enjoyed themselves thus far. They'll be heading out again tomorrow for more action. And speaking of action, Joe brought us in a nice check today to be donated to the Mundo Star soccer program, which raises money for local Cabo kids to be able to play soccer. If you haven't heard about Mundo Star, there are some great pictures of the kids posted in our Photos section. Ask us how you can help sponsor just one team for as little as $150 per year. They'll even put your logo or name on the jerseys!
We'll see you all tomorrow!

Well, we tried.....
That was the sentiment this afternoon when talking to the clients that got back from the Golden Gate. I talked with Rich and Sandy Pratt, as well as Steve and Karen Ghormley this morning. We talked about the Marlin bite and how it had died down a bit the last few days but they really wanted to give it a shot and we were more than willing to make the trek up the Pacific. I had a similar conversation with Bob and Kathy Cripe and they too understood it could be slow on the Pacific but they wanted a shot at a Marlin.
Alex and Ramon took the Pratt and Ghormley crew, while Americo and his father Juan Carlos (who was filling in for an ill Omar) took the Cripe's. Both crews worked their butts off trying to get their clients Marlin, but the fish just wouldn't take the bait. Americo came back and told us he tried pitching live bait, slow trolling live bait, bottom fishing live bait, and also trolling lures. They said they saw tons of fish, they just weren't hungry. Definitely a bummer when folks come back without fish, but we take pride in knowing that our crews did everything they could.
Craig Bryan and Dan Oneal were back on the water today and they had a good day on the Sea of Cortez. They were constantly getting bite by SkipJack Tuna and landed a couple Dorado as well, one very nice one that went 40 lbs or so.
Finally, we had the Martin party on Rum Runnin. They showed up about 10 hours late, just coming into the office about a half hour ago. They mixed up their dates and thought that they were fishing tomorrow. Stranger things have been known to happen in Cabo, luckily we had Rum Runnin available on Saturday and they will head out then.
Water Temps on the Sea of Cortez were around 72/73 and Temps on the Pacific were around 69/70. Bait was GreenBack Mackeral and Caballito, even some SkipJack belly strips were used.
Alex and Ramon took the Pratt and Ghormley crew, while Americo and his father Juan Carlos (who was filling in for an ill Omar) took the Cripe's.

Clients aboard RedRum boats found another trip out to the Sea of Cortez returned a lot of smiling faces with a consistent dorado bite. The water temperature is still sitting at about 71 degrees. First group back was Todd and father Tom aboard ReelRum. They headed out to the Sea of Cortez in front of the Palmilla. The crews were switched around due to Omar and Americo having the day off, so Ramon captained the boat while Americo’s dad Juan Carlos was first mate. They reeled in 2 dorados about 20-25 lbs and lost 3 in the fight. They also reeled in and released about 10 skip jacks. They saved some of the fish to take home and will be returning to Misiones de Kino as they remember from last year how good their fish tastes when Israel cooks it up there.
Next group back was with Marcial aboard the RedBeam. They headed out to the same fishing grounds as ReelRum. All aboard was Gord, Tom and Greg & Tracey. We were able to pair the 3 groups up using our share board and today was the day that worked out best for them to fish. Between the 4 of them they reeled in 7 dorado! They said they saw a lot of whales still out their breaching as well as schools of dolphins. I was psyched at the amount of fish they reeled in as with share boats its good when everyone gets a chance at the action. Gord is saving some of his catch for dinner. Greg & Tracey are freezing their fish and taking it back home and Tom let them have his share. Well done you guys! We look forward to seeing the pics.
Now, while I stayed in the office working and slaving away at the desk, my husband Ryan and father-in-law John decided to take out El Nuevo and get in on some of the action. John flew down yesterday and surprised us for St. Patty’s Day, so we celebrated with lots of green beer last night at the Amigos de Los Ninos fundraiser. They headed out to the Sea of Cortez alongside the other boats. Here is Ryan’s report of their day:
On El Nuevo today we had a bit of a “fun day.” Our fleet manager George, mechanic Rene, along with Cesar, Americo, and Omar headed out with my dad and I. Dad was reading the fish report a few days ago and saw that Brooke and I were headed to a St. Patrick’s Day party for the Amigos de Los Ninos. Never one to miss a party or a charity function dad decided to make the trip down, without telling us. Yesterday we were working away here in the office and in walks dad. What a wonderful surprise! He announced that he wanted to do some fishing today and all the guys who weren’t heading out on other boats made it known that they wanted to fish with John today. Tacos and Beers were bought and good fun was had. We laughed and joked, and even did a bit of fishing. As you will read, the other RedRum boats did better than us, as we only brought in 2 Dorado and 1 Tuna. Regardless, we had blast! Thanks for surprising us Pops, it was great to see and fish with you!
Also heading out on the water was our partner boat Anzuelo II with Captain Rafa. My new found friends Paul and Nate from Iowa headed out with high hopes for catching dinner. They too hit up the Sea of Cortez in the calm seas. They were happy with 2 dorado that they will be taking home with them for a big fish fry with friends! It was wonderful to meet some other Midwest folks, I look forward to seeing your pictures and putting you up on the web.
Finally, heading out on Rum Runnin was Brian and Shawn Hoyer, Brian Trask and Jim Laffoon. The guys wanted to head out a little later than the normal 6:30am start because of a wedding event last night. Unfortunately, the late start did them wrong. They headed up to Golden Gate as the boats that went up there early had some luck. Sounds like by the time they got there they missed the majority of the bite. They were able to catch and release one striped Marlin, always nice to pull on something.
See you tomorrow! Brooke

Happy St. Patty’s Day!
The direction changed from yesterday and the guys headed out to the Sea of Cortez instead of the Pacific. Air temperature is sitting at about 80 degrees and water temperature at about 71 degrees. A light breeze on the water kept the seas calm.
Coming from up north, Doug from Langley, B.C., Bill from Seattle and Patrick from Calgary headed out with Chivo today on RumRunnin. They reeled in 9 dorado and said there was much more to be caught, but were at their limit. They also dragged in one of those ugly squids. I swear the thing was looking at me when they brought it into the office to be packaged and frozen. Now I personally have never eaten this Humboldt squid, it looks to be tough and icky, but from what Chivo says, he likes it. So these guys are going to take home a fillet of it and I invite you to send me the recipe that you use so I can at least try to cook it up sometime and say I tried the thing. I’m a calamari eater, but man this thing looks down right hard and chewy and nothing like those delightfully fried things we order for appetizers. Hope to hear from you guys on that, nice job out there and look forward to seeing the pictures.
All smiles were Jonathan and his daughter Haley along with her best friend Jen, celebrating their sweet 16 birthdays in Cabo aboard the Mariner of the Seas Cruise. We met them at the tender this morning at 9:30 am and they headed out until about 2:30 before they had to get back on board their cruise ship. They too went to the Sea of Cortez where they reeled in 7 dorado, 3 Humboldt squid and some skip jack. The site seeing was great as well out on the water. Jonathan said they say a mother whale with her calf while out. Happy 16th birthdays ladies and we hope to see you back down in Cabo soon!
Patti, Phillip, Percy, Gordon, Sam and Dorie from Alabama headed out on RedBeam. They went to the Sea of Cortez as well and reeled in 3 dorado and 2 roosterfish. The seas were much calmer out on the Sea of Cortez waters then on the Pacific and ended up being a wise choice for the guys to head to the Sea of Cortez instead of the Pacific and get some of the edible fish.
Tim headed out on the panga with his son and his friend. They reeled in some mackerels and skip jacks and before too long, one of the kids got sick and they had to come in early, but were still able to reel in a few before turning the boat around.
You all better be wearing green today, and if not I hope someone pinched you.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day

A bit colder...
A big change from yesterday, temperature wise in the waters at Golden Gate, almost a 5 degree drop, making the water temperature around 69 degrees. The RedRum crews noticed a big change there with temp as well as the green color in the water out on the Pacific. There wasn’t nearly as much action today as there was yesterday, however RedRum crews found RedRum clients their fish!
On of our favorite clients who comes to see us for weeks at a times is Dallas along with his friend Greg. This was Dallas’ fourth trip out with RedRum in the last few weeks. With his wife going back to the states, what’s a guy to do but stay in the Baja and fish! They went out with Omar and Ramon on ReelRum and were able to get one catch and release striped marlin as well as 2 mako sharks they released as well. I talked to Omar and Ramon a bit when they got back to the office and said the water was much much colder and not as much action at the surface. Dallas thanks again for coming down to see us! We’ll look forward to seeing you in October after you officially become a first-time grandfather, a big early congratulations there. See you soon.
Dan another one of our repeat customers headed out on El Nuevo with Zach and Mariah. They headed out with Alex and Cesar, along ways away from their home in Montana. Compared to Montana the water wasn’t that cold, but nonetheless it was much colder than yesterday. They fished at Golden Gate, trolling, some bottom fishing as well as pitching live bait and were able to reel in 2 catch and release marlin.
And lucky for us, we were able to track down our buddy Dale who we thought was a no show for yesterday, but actually got his dates confused, so we were able to put him out on RumRunnin today. Dale along with Matt, Blake and Sterling from Coppell, Texas made their way to Golden Gate as well. In a mere windless sky they had their hearts set on some marlin. Although they saw a few and almost hooked up to a few, they couldn’t get one to bite and hold. They did however end up reeling in 2 juvenile mako sharks about 3 feet long. It wasn’t the marlin they were hoping for, but they’ll be back in July so there’s always another chance in fishing… not catching.
The big rig Utopia headed out today as well with a crew from Texas. I’m guessing its spring break in all the Texas schools this week because I have seen nothing but hook ‘em horns shirts, and I mean everywhere! Now this is where I keep my lips sealed as I don’t want anyone to hate when the BIG 12 is talked about, but I am a born and raised Cornhusker, and now a Horned Frog as well, so I’ll just leave it at that. Anywho, this fun bunch headed out with Rene and Luis on Utopia, Kate, Graham, Margot, Emily, Garrett, Logan, David, Nena and Blake. They too noticed the difference in the fishing grounds out at Golden with the colder and greener water. Their hearts were set on marlin as well but came up short. They settled for a nice mako shark and Spanish mackerel.
We’ll see what happens tomorrow on the Lucky St. Patty’s day. We’ll be dining and drinking green beer at Miguel Loco’s where the annual Amigos de Los Ninos St. Patrick’s and fundraiser take place. We are Donovan’s so all of you better be drinking green beer tomorrow too!
Adios! Brooke

March 15th -- Marlin!
The 4 Texas guys, Chuck, Bob, Alec and his son Blake headed out on RumRunnin today. With the water fairly calm a slight breeze and just beautiful skies there wasn’t much to complain about. They headed out to Golden Gate with Javier and Manuel. They hooked into 2 striped marlin, catch and release of course. They took the measurement and a good guess on the weight and ordered a nice trophy for home. Well done you guys. And Blake, from what I hear, you caught the most fish on board, so great job there! I forgot to mention after hitting Golden Gate they went closer to shore and reeled in about 15 king mackerels, that’s where Blake came in!
James from Georgia, Todd from Wisconsin and, Tim from Missouri, the brothers and brother-in-laws all met up in Cabo for some fishing. After heading out on RumRunnin last Thursday they wanted more so booked to go out on the RedBeam today. They headed out to Golden Gate and hooked into 4 striped marlin. They were able to catch and release 3 of them and but unfortunately one got caught up in the line and died.
Our friend Dale who reserved ReelRum for today was a no show, so we have no report from Omar and Americo.
And last but not least is the crew from Norman, Oklahoma, Rob, Mary, J.D. and Tripp. They hopped aboard El Nuevo with Alex. There was lots of marlin on theat the surface and the guys worked their tales off to get them to bite. Heading out to Golden Gate as well to get their fix on the marlin, they caught and released two stripers.
Keep those pictures from your trips aboard RedRum boats coming in! We always need new faces and fish for our website. Just send your favorites into info@redrumcabo.com
Happy Sunday!

Friday the 13th
Bonnie and Daryl headed out on ReelRum with Omar and Americo to get entrenched in some action out at Golden Gate. These two know fishing well, but up in Alaska, not in Baja. Bonnie is no longer a marlin virgin as she reeled in her first on this trip. They battled some winds and chilly air but had a great day out there. They totaled 2 striped catch and release marlin, 1 skip jack tuna and 3 dorados. They saved some for dinner to be cooked up at their hotel.
Jason and wife Melissa along with their buddy Travis headed out on RumRunnin. This is Jason’s second time fishing with RedRum and he said he’s ready for more. They all headed down from San Antonio, Texas and headed out to Golden Gate. They saw lots of stripers on the surface and was able to reel two up to the boat. Unfortunately one of the marlin didn’t make it and died in the fight. It was brought over to the Mexican fishing department where the meat will be donated to a charity or orphanage. Nice job guys and we look forward to seeing you back again soon!
Lots of bait out at Golden Gate at about 69-70 degree Fahrenheit temperature water. Kurt, Bill, Michael and Brian from the Pacific Northwest sprung out of the cold weather and headed out on El Nuevo with Alex. Two cases of beer helped them bring in 2 catch and release marlin. Well done, maybe 4 cases will get you guys 4 marlin next time?
All aboard RedBeam was Lauren and Alvin from Louisiana heading out to Golden Gate as well on the sunny buy windy day. We worked hard to try and find them some people to share a boat with, but had no luck so they tackled the seas on their own. They pulled in one dorado but it wasn’t too long before someone was a bit sea sick. They turned back in after the single fight.

Windy on the Pacific today....
Early morning wind made for a choppy start to the fishing today. At 5am the Palm trees in the Marina were buckling over. By 6am the wind had calmed down a bit, but still causing quite a stir on the water. I was fearful we would have a lot of folks turning around early, not being able to stomach the weather. Well several boats had casualties, but none turned around early. Had some troopers out there today. Striped Marlin, Tuna, and Dorado were caught today.
Jared and Maria Orzolek, our good friends from Ohio were back in town and took out there folks to show them what RedRum is all about. Jared wanted to catch Marlin, Allan wanted Dorado. They both came back happy, 2 Dorado and a Marlin.
Tim, Todd, and Jim are brothers who fish every year at different spots around the US and now Mexico. They had a great day on the water with Javier and Manuel, wanting to book a second day if they were available, they were not unfortunately but they may head out on another boat. They really liked getting to know Javier and Manuel and had a blast fishing with them. They were lucky enough to grab 2 Marlin, plus they got a nice Dorado for dinner.
Tom and Chris Neal came into the office asking about fishing and decided they had to give it a try. Tom really wanted to catch a Marlin, which just happens to be our specialty. Chris was certainly one of the casualties today as she was really feeling the weather. Certainly a trooper though as they stayed out the whole day. We were able to hook 2 Marlin for them, but unfortunately they both got off. Hopefully your next trip with us will be a bit smoother.
David and Dawn Naples along with their friends Eric Norskog and Jackie Scroggs spent the day on the RedBeam. Unfortunately, they didn't get a Marlin in the boat for pictures, but they were able to land a nice Dorado. Enjoy dinner.
Mike Kalzer and his family are visiting from Canada and decided to spend a day on the water SportFishing. They had a great day as well, catching and releasing 2 Marlin and catching 2 Dorado. They were last seen at Mango Deck with some Fish Tacos and Beverages. Nothing better than fish tacos two hours after catching the fish. Apparently, someone (maybe Mike's daughter?) had a little too much fun last night and felt a little under the weather on the boat today. Hope you are feeling better.
Our good buddy Dallas Strube has some guests in town and wanted to show them a great day on the water. Alex and Dallas played host to David, Tricia and Greg and they had a great day. David remarked a few days ago that he wanted to catch Marlin until he puked. That may have been a bit of foreshadowing!! They finished the day with 3 catch and release Marlin and 1 nice Dorado.
Rounding out the group is DJ and my good buddy Forrest. Forrest and his pals were down for his wedding (congrats and good luck) and went out on Saturday and had a great day. Forrest mentioned after, that he would love to get out again if we could find him someone to share the boat with. Having caught a few Marlin on Saturday, he was interested in Dorado, but down for whatever as long as he was on the water. We were able to hook him up with DJ another single that really wanted to fish. Looks like these guys made fast friends on the water and had a lot of fun together. DJ admitted that the first two hours were rough, literally, and he was feeling it. Once the action started though, he felt fine. These guys had an awesome day, catching 2 Dorado, 2 TUNA, and a huge 180lb Striped Marlin (Dj's first ever.) Great meeting you guys, send in the photos and keep in touch.
Full house tomorrow as well. Talk to you then.

Rounding out the group is DJ and my good buddy Forrest. Forrest and his pals were down for his wedding (congrats and good luck) and went out on Saturday and had a great day. Forrest mentioned after, that he would love to get out again if we could find him someone to share the boat with. Having caught a few Marlin on Saturday, he was interested in Dorado, but down for whatever as long as he was on the water. We were able to hook him up with DJ another single that really wanted to fish. Looks like these guys made fast friends on the water and had a lot of fun together. DJ admitted that the first two hours were rough, literally, and he was feeling it. Once the action started though, he felt fine. These guys had an awesome day, catching 2 Dorado, 2 TUNA, and a huge 180lb Striped Marlin (Dj's first ever.) Great meeting you guys, send in the photos and keep in touch.
Full house tomorrow as well. Talk to you then.

RedRum Report for March 11th
Great day on the water today in sunny (and safe, don't believe everything the media is saying) Cabo San Lucas. After some light showers last night, we had a beautiful day today with the temperature was in the 80's without a cloud in the sky. Water temps stayed the same at about 72-73 degrees. Green-Back Mackeral was once again the preferred bait at the Golden Gate. Marlin, Dorado, Skipjack Tuna and Sierra Mackeral were caught today. Marlin numbers were down because it was a little rough out there and they couldn't chase the fish quite as well as they had the past few days.
Mike Kalzer came down to Cabo but couldn't convince his buddies or his wife to come fishing with him. "No worries, more fish for me," was his mantra this morning. Well that certainly held true throughout the day. After tail-wrapping the first Marlin (which made the fight much tougher) Mike wasn't sure how many more he had left in him. He ended up catching and releasing 4 big striper's before calling it quits. He was still interested in catching something for dinner, so Omar and Americo found a Dorado for him as well. Mike commented that this was the best fishing trip he has ever been on, and couldn't believe the amount of Marlin he saw. Nice meeting and fishing with you Mike.
Jack Laird was a walk-in client that saw all the flags flying for days on end here in the Marina and had to get out on the water. Javier and Manuel hooked them up on a big Marlin that they fought for a long time, eventually hauling it up for a photo. They hooked a few others and also caught and released a Dorado.
Our good buddy Jeff Prince and his wife are down visiting from Las Vegas and they certainly wanted to get out on the water while they were here. The trip was last minute and I was booked solid for today by the time Jeff called. I was able to hook him up on one the boats we recommend when we are full and he had a blast. 2 Marlin and 2 Dorado.
Dean Cushman, unfortunately I don't think a Marlin is in the cards for Dean. He even stated after the trip that he would never do it again. Dean has fished 6 times in Cabo and never caught a Marlin. He was really unpleased with most of the fleets he had gone out with and was hesitant at giving us a shot. We sent him out with Rafa and I told him while I never guarantee fish, this would be the closest I would come to doing so. Why don't I guarantee? Because even with double digit Marlin coming in every day for weeks, you never know what the next day will hold. These guys came back with 1 Spanish Mackeral. We did however put him on the fish. Hooked Dean up on a huge Marlin that he fought for over an hour. After an hour Dean had nothing left and passed the rod to the Mate who also fought the fish for a while. After the mate passed the rod to the Captain, the fish eventually snapped the line. Sounds like they had a monster on. They hooked up one other Marlin, but lost that one as well. We did our best Dean, sorry pal.
Finally some Spring Breakers, Andrew Glazer and his boys from Syracuse University. I was sure these guys would come wondering in an hour late, stinking of Squid Row. I was wrong, these guys were on time and ready to go. I guess they party a little different at Syracuse. All joking aside, these guys had a blast on El Nuevo and caught and released 3 Marlin and 1 Dorado.
Matt and Derek were a couple of guys that had signed up on our share list and we were able to make something happen for them. They went out, accompanied by their wives and had a blast. Each was able to bring in a Marlin and they also caught some Skipjack I believe.

March 10th update...
Another fabulous day on the water for RedRum anglers. Blue water and 73 degrees was exactly what our Captains were looking for. 3 out of 5 boats headed for the Golden Gate with the RedBeam's clients opting for some inshore fishing. Kirk Leadbetter got off a cruise ship at 10:30am and was hooked up shortly after 11am. They had a great day inshore fishing for Spanish Mackeral as well as some Snappers.
Jason and Sara Babin along with friends Mario and Ashley headed out with Alex and Ramon on El Nuevo RedRum. They had a great day, even with a little chop on the water, and managed to Catch and Release 3 Marlin and also bringing a nice Dorado on the boat for lunch. Congrats guys, great day.
ReelRum with Rene and Americo also had cruise ship passengers. They wanted Marlin, but just didn't have the time to get to the Gate. Rene and Americo were able to put them on some nice fish around the lighthouse point however. One nice Dorado and a big Striped Marlin were released.
Tom Linderholm and his crew had a fantastic day with Javier and Manuel on Rum Runnin. They had 4 nice Dorado and 3 catch and release Marlin today and came back to the office looking for another day on the water later this week.
Finally, Rafa took the Wilbanks party out and also had a great day. They were able to hook several Marlin, bringing 2 to the boat for "IGFA" releases. They also were lucky enough to bring in 2 Dorado.
Full day again tomorrow. See you then.

RedRum Sportfishing April 8th
Busy morning in the RedRum office with 6 boats going out this morning. Everyone has been hearing about the crazy Marlin bite of the last week and half and are wanting to capitalize on it. Had a few folks walk in yesterday afternoon proclaiming they had to get out on the water today. That's the spirit, and those folks always seem to catch the most fish. First to return was Ron McCallum who went out with Rafa. Ron had a flight at two to catch, but got skunked earlier in the week with another company. We got him on 2 Marlin and 2 Dorado by 11am and sent him on his way to the airport. Success story number 1.
Texans, (but unfortunately Aggies,)Chris and Greg took their crew out on El Nuevo RedRum. Alex and Cesar headed for the 73 degree water of the Golden Gate and put the Cabo first timers on 7 catch and release Marlin and had them back to the docks by 1pm. Great day guys, see you tomorrow.
Phil, Jessica and Alex headed out on ReelRum with Omar, who I believe may have sold his soul to the devil. He is out of control hot the last few months. He caught and released another 8 Marlin today, rather Phil, Jessica, and Alex caugt 8 with Omar and Americo's help. He said the bait was everywhere and the action was crazy.

Update....
Joe Torolski was nice enough to send in an update to his March 3rd trip. I had to leave the office early that day.
Just a note on your March 3 fishing report. We fished with Alex and Ramon and hooked nine marlin and also caught a Dorado. I think we brought five to the boat for pictures. I will send pictures from both fishing trips when I get to my other computer.
Take Care
Joe
Thanks again Joe, good seeing you. And while I'm at it, why not another cool client email. This email is from Thomas Anderson who fished with us recently. Best trip of his life, awesome!
Dear Redrum Charters,
Thank you so much for a fantastic trip. I have been fishing my whole life and I can say in all honesty I have never had a better time fishing anywhere else in the world. We went out on Rum Runnin' with Javier and Lupe as our guides and I can't say a negative thing about them. They were friendly and informative and very funny on top of everything else. We caught 3 marlin and 2 Dorado during the course of the day and your guys couldn't have made it any easier for us. Our trip was made even better when the owners wife personally took our catch to a fantastic local restaurant called Misiones de Kino, where they prepared us the best meal we had during our entire stay in Mexico. We even saw the Redrum owners who stayed to eat there after dropping off our fish. You can tell that they are living the dream fishing for a living, living in an exotic location and it shows in the way they treat their customers. They made one of my dreams come true and I would and did recommend you guys to anyone that wants to go fishing in Cabo. You were a first class operation from start to finish and I just wanted to thank you for making my trip to Cabo one I will never forget. Keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Thomas Anderson

Happy Customers are always great!
Timothy Dillon and Wally Green are two buddies down here on vacation and they happened to run into some folks who had fished with us at their resort. The guys said that after talking with the previous clients they decided that they had to get out there and give it a shot, and definitely with RedRum. They were lucky enough to get Omar and Americo who couldn't have a hotter hand at the moment. The guys had a ball out there and caught and release 7 Striped Marlin. I know this is becoming commonplace the last few weeks, but it is truly amazing what is happening on the water here in Cabo right now.
Brian and Kathy Dietrich are vacationing here in Cabo, down from cold cold Canada. They also heard about us from some previous clients and they also wanted to get out on the water and give it a shot. Thanks to Linn who fished with us last week and sold the Dietrichs on RedRum. They went out with Javier and Manuel and were able to bring in 3 Striped Marlin, missing a few others.
Finally, the Monalto boys from Jersey just couldn't see themselves hanging by the pool all day in their last full day in Cabo. They called late last night and decided they needed one more day on the water. I thought for sure that the guys had had enough Marlin and were ready to try to chase some Tuna around. I was wrong, they came back with several more Marlin flags flying today.
As is the norm with RedRum, every Marlin caught today was released back into the water.

Looking for Tuna?
The Monalto crew from Jersey was and low and behold they caught Marlin. Omar had heard of a school of Tuna about 7 miles north of Golden Gate and the guys were interested in heading up there. After looking for a while and not seeing any Tuna they decided to head back to Golden Gate. The Gate was boiling again today and the guys were able to bring in 10 Marlin. Unbelievable day on the water fellas. Search for Tuna will have to wait another day.

Stop the press, we caught a Dorado today!
Paul Kollmar has been looking forward to this trip for a while. All his buddies went out and got banged up last night and didn't want to get their lazy butts up this morning. So what's a guy to do? Come fishing by yourself. Paul had a great day catching and releasing 3 Marlin and even finding a Dorado for dinner. Thanks for coming out today Paul.
The Johnson crew from Alaska fished with Alex on El Nuevo today and had a great day as well, hooking 9 or 10 Marlin and bringing 6 to the boat for photos and releases. Thanks guys, stay warm in Alaska and come back to see us.
Finally we had the Monalto guys from New Jersey, delayed a day because of bad weather, these guys just got in yesterday and went out for their first day on the water today. While the weather gods were not smiling two days ago for these guys, the fish gods were today. 8 catch and release Marlin, a Mako shark and a Dorado.
Hasta Manana,
Ryan

Sorry folks, power was down for a few hours here at the office yesterday.
That was the reason for the lack of fish report. Quick recap of yesterday, Leever party was on Rum Runnin, two young men and there grandfather I believe. Mom/Daughter was nice enough to pick up the tab for the fellas and send them out on the water for a day of fishing. The guys got lucky and were able to catch and relase 4 Marlin. Ramon on El Nuevo had similar success with the Meier party. Rudy, Judy and Rudy Jr were able to bring in 5 catch and release Marlin. I think the boys on the boat said they were the clients that had the easiest names to remember of any of our previous clients. If you say either with a thick enough spanish accent they sound the same. Pleasure meeting and fishing with you guys, hope to see the Meiers down here again real soon.
Today sounds like it is UNREAL at the Gate. Either that or Omar and Americo were en fuego! They got back around 1pm and had 10 catch and release Marlin. Jerry and Linn Wyatt had the day of their lives on the water, each catching 5 Marlin and returning to the slip by 1pm. No one is going to believe you back home.
Gotta run to the Portofino Condos to let some guests in, so I won't be able to share news of El Nuevo or Rum Runnin until tomorrow morning.
Sorry Stange, I know you get cranky at night if you don't have a fish report to read.

Ryan takes a break from the office and heads to Golden Gate!
With the craziness of the last few days on the water, I wanted to run up to Golden Gate and try to get some footage to put here on the fish report. We can talk about the bait balls and pods of Marlin chasing them until the sun goes down, but I thought it would be cool to show you. Of course when I have the camera the fish don't cooperate. No great footage, but no worries. The fish are still there and still going crazy, just not super bunched up at the moment; which made filming a little more difficult. The good news for you guys, the catching was no more difficult. We planned the trip last minute, and my guests (Marshall and Leon,) were late. Oh well, we still got 4 Marlin in a few hours of fishing time. We abandonded Golden Gate for the shoreline looking for a nice Dorado for dinner and we still got hooked up with a Marlin. I know, I know, tough problem to have. I understand I am getting no sympathy from anyone who shoveled snow this morning.
The other two boats that went out with us did great today as well. John Herzog, his buddy and his wife headed out on El Nuevo RedRum with Alex and they also caught and released 4 Marlin. They left the office hoping that next weeks trip they have with us will be as productive. Cross your fingers and pray to the fish gods!
The Latendresse's were out on ReelRum today and they too had a great day on the Golden Gate. Conditions were beautiful all morning with a slight NorthEast breeze in the early afternoon. They were able to catch and release 4 Marlin as well.
Overall, another great day on the water in Cabo San Lucas. I love this place!s
