The marlin are back!

Another day without the Internet here on the Marina, but a beautiful Monday with clear blue skies and sunny weather at a comfortable 81degrees Fahrenheit. The wind stayed fairly calm today, picking up a bit in the afternoon, while the water temp was at about 73-74 degrees Fahrenheit.

Their first trip ever to Cabo, Jason and his son Derek headed out with Omar and Americo to the Sea of Cortez aboard ReelRum. Fleeing from Wisconsin for spring break, they decided to head out fishing while mom got a massage, laid by the pool and relaxed. Derek, the mature, polite and anxious 8th grader was excited to be down in Cabo and ready to conquer the seas to catch some fish! They came back a bit early from their trip around 12:30…Jason didn’t feel to well so they called it a day. They fought a Dorado for a bit but lost it in the end. Derek was all smiles in front of the office with one of the 4 Sierra he reeled in along with the two pirates he posed with. Well done guys!

Christine Lavallee and Jason Bourcier headed out on RedBeam with Marshall and Muneca. These two newlyweds are on the honeymoon after getting hitched up in Winnipeg, Canada. They’re visiting Cabo for the first time all the way from Manitoba, Canada. They headed out to the Sea of Cortez and hung out around the 95, which is where they reeled in two striped Marlin. One of them didn’t make it as the hook was caught; however they released the second Marlin. Congrats on the Marlin and on the marriage! Send us those pics Jason, I want to put you newlyweds up on the website stat.

Tim Wilson and Rob Whitsett were the first to arrive this morning and the first to take off aboard RumRunnin with Javier and Manuel. We loaded their beer on the boat and they were ready to roll. Tim and Rob are visiting from North Carolina with their families. You can more than venture to say that they are BIG Tarheel fans, so congrats on that big win guys! These two are good buddies that wanted to go fishing while the wives and the teenage daughters hung at the pool and relaxed. They headed out about 10 miles to the 95 as well and in the first hour caught a nice Dorado on some dead bait. They ventured out hoping for Marlin and struck gold on a green and black lure while trolling; they reeled him in and released their first Marlin of the day. Their second catch and release Marlin they caught on live bait. The seas were active today, with lots of marlin and they even saw a huge Whale Shark. Nice job guys, I’ll look forward to your pictures as well. Go Tarheels!

And last but not least are Marlo Rossner and Jeff Curtis from San Diego along with Ethan Erickson from Vegas. The taxi happened to drop them off at the wrong side of the marina and they hoofed it over to our office and we quickly shuffled them aboard El Nuevo with Alex, beer in hand of course. They headed out to bank 95 as well and had a double striped marlin hook up around 12:30, first Ethan on the rod and then Jeff, they landed both stripers for a picture and then released them. One of the marlins was caught on a green and white lure while the other one was caught on live bait. Can’t wait to see the pictures!

Thanks for checking in.
