A bit overcast today and yesterday in Cabo, and a few sprinkles made their way to the ground. Even a wicked lighting storm out by the airport mid afternoon yesterday, but none of it stopped the fish from biting. The seas sitting at about 78 - 80 degrees Fahrenheit with the wind whipping up a bit here and there. And yes its still hot, but good news, air-conditioning in the RedRum Office is here and will be be working soon!
Joseph Shu and his wife headed out yesterday on ReelRum with Omar and Americo. They went about 12 miles out and got into some Tuna, they rounded 1 up before the Mrs. got sick and headed back in. Day two, flying wifelessly solo Mr. Shu headed out again with Omar and Americo hoping for a better and longer day. He had his hands full as they headed out to the Golden Gate and all those feather lures pulled in 7 tuna. This time he had to reel them in on his own. Great days on the water!
El Nuevo headed out with Mike Poynter, Mike Byerly and Tyler Byerly on the 3oth. They headed towards Jimmy Bank and had a hell of a day out there. Catching 12 Tuna on feather lures and catching and releasing 2 striped Marlin on live bait, they all came back smiling.
Lee Iver and Brent Barker from Thibodaux, Louisiana headed out on RumRunnin on the 30th with Chivo and Mickey. They went out to the lighthouse about 8 miles out in hope of catching something. They hit it big, catching and releasing 4 striped Marlin, 4 Tuna between 15-20 pounds on feather lures and a Wahoo of about 20 pounds. Nice job out there gentlemen.
Heading out on the 30th and 31st is Joey & Annie Minville from Louisiana. They were on the Beam both days with Marshall and yesterday reeled in a nice 40 pound Tuna. They enjoyed a nice dinner at Misiones de Kino with some killer tuna sashimi. Joey had his heart set on Marlin. So today rolled around and he had high hopes of a good day, and as luck would have it, they had a phenomenal day. The first two Striped Marlin they caught were on a double hook-up out at Golden Gate. As Annie was fighting her Marlin asking for Joey’s help, his reel went off and Annie was on her own. They ended up fighting about 7 Marlin, lost 3 but brought 4 to the boat to release them. They caught 1 Tuna and 2 Dorado. They just can’t get enough of Misiones de Kino, so will be heading back for more!
We’ve got another fun, crazy group of people staying up in the Portofino Condos again. All hailing from South Texas, they were excited to come down on their Stay & Play trip they purchased through CCA. Donna & Mike, Mark & Vickie, and Glen & Vicky were itching to get on the water and catch them so dinner. They did some planning ahead to have a chef come up to the condos to cook their catch for them, but they needed to catch something first, so the pressure was on for Captain Alex and Mate Ramon aboard El Nuevo today. They first headed out to Jimmy Bank and then towards Golden Gate where they ran into some porpoise about 5 miles out, and that’s where they hit it. They caught dinner! Eight Tunas between 25-40 lbs. sounds like a good fresh dinner to me! I’m sure Chef Luz Maria will cook them up a nice Tuna Surprise. Can't wait to hear about it, they'll be back on the water on Sunday, this time for Marlin.
Mark along with his sons Jimmy and Matthew from Dublin, Ohio headed out with Anzuelo II today. They spent a lot of time fighting Marlin out there near Golden Gate at Migrino, and Matthew ended up pulling one in on his own, and releasing it after the fight of course. He was stoked to have fought the monster fish all on his own. Well done, can’t wait to see the pictures.
And another father and son trio, Steve Kato and his two sons from Houston headed out on RumRunnin this morning with Chivo and Mickey. The two boys were looking a bit tired this morning, but came back with full smiles in the afternoon after the sleep had worn off and the excitement of fishing had hit them. Steve, Kyle and Cameron all together caught 4 Tuna and 3 Striped Marlin that they caught and released. They’ve got a cooler in the back ready to take their vacuum sealed and frozen catch back home with them to Houston.
Thanks for checking in, hasta agosto.

Another Black and Blue Day in Cabo!
Today we got into the Black and Blue action with a nice baby Blue estimated at 200lbs. While this small female might not be ready for the Bisbee this year, the release ensures this beautiful fish will have the potential to grow up and one day compete.
Seth Brown and his wife Kelly were the first ones back today on ReelRum. Omar and Americo found a nice size school of Yellowfin and had a blast bringing in one after the other. While they released a bunch of the fish they brought to the boat, they caught between 18-20 Yellowfin in the 15-35lb range.
Cabo Local Norm, had scheduled a trip this morning with another of Cabo's fine charter companies but after their boat broke down early he came to Cabo's Best Charter Company. Norm and his crew were the lucky anglers that hooked into the Blue Marlin, catching and releasing the estimated 200lb female. They were also kept busy in the school of Yellowfin, catching 18 Tuna.
The Johnston party was back for another day on the water and Bill, Scott, Brad, and Steven also got into the Yellowfin action. These guys were looking for Marlin all day and got to the school late, but were able to bring in 8 nice Yellowin Tuna.
Finally the Smolik Family, Mark, Linda, Jimmy and Matthew, headed out on the big boat the 54' Missing Lenk. Captain Mike also was looking for Marlin early but found the Tuna late and got 11 single jig strikes on the school. While they couldn't get an double or triple hook-ups the clients had their hands full, bringing in Tuna one after the other for the last 3 hours of the trip.
Great day on the water in Cabo!

Blacks and Blues Have Arrived!
While it wasn't on a RedRum boat the biggest Black Marlin of the year was caught today in Cabo San Lucas, with a nearly 700 lb monster being brought in. With the warm water and ample bait we knew it wouldn't be long before the Big Blue and Black Marlin arrived.
Gene and Rama Menn, Justin and Jolie Godfrey and Heath McDonald headed out with Alex and Ramon on El Nuevo today and had tough time hooking up. The boys spotted several billfish on the surface of the water and even had one hook-up with a nice Sailfish, but couldn't get anything to the boat. Next time guys!
Jack Parks, who fished with us on Friday and didn't have any luck, decided to try his luck again today on a Panga with Carlos. Today was finally the day he knocked the skunk off his offshore fishing luck, bringing in a nice Grouper and a good sized Dorado.
Finally, fellow Horned Frogs, Christine Chapman and Chris Gores headed out with Omar and Americo on ReelRum for a half day of fishing. Chris got to pull on, and land his first Marlin ever. Congrats Chris on a beautiful fish!

Monday Update
Today was a beautiful day in Cabo, while it was warm, the humidity wasn't too bad. We even had a little cloud cover, providing for a great day on the water. All the boats had success today, so that was great.
Bill, Scott and Brad Johnson, along with Steven Grounds were out on El Nuevo RedRum for their first of two days on the water. Along with Alex and Ramon, these guys had a great day. They caught and released 2 Striped Marlin, the first 99" and the second a 115" whopper. Congrats guys!
Another father, son, son combo of Dan, Todd and Justin Stewart were our guests aboard Rum Runnin with Javier and Manuel. Monday was Javier's last day of work for 8 days as he is taking a well deserved vacation, you'll never guess what his plans are. He is heading up to Loreto to do some fishing! That being said, Javier wanted to make sure his last charter was a good one. Dan, Todd and Justin are no strangers to fishing boats or charters as their family has been in the charter business for 30+ years on Lake Michigan. That being said, they had a great day here in Cabo. While things were slow to start, Javier and Manuel stuck with it and got them a nice Striped Marlin by the end of the day.
Charlie and Jessica Reinhardt in from the Hill Country of Texas were our guest aboard ReelRum. Omar and Americo found the fish quickly and kept the Reinhardts busy all day. They had 3 catch and release Sailfish by the time they returned. One of the fish hit a lure, the other two were caught on live bait, Caballitos.
Finally, we had Bryan Silverthorn, a Cabo local, with his crew on the RedBeam. Shawn, John, Debra and Susan are visiting Bryan from out of town and wanted to try sportfishing. While the seas didn't agree with Shawn, they did get to catch and release a Striped Marlin before heading back to shore. Congrats to Bryan and his wife who are celebrating 30 years of marriage this weekend in Cabo!

Sunday Funday
Sunday we had only one boat, El Nuevo, with a scheduled charter. Tyler Hagemen, Amy Dunnem, Ross and Sarah Biel, all from Austin, Texas, headed out with Alex on El Nuevo. The bite had been good the last few days but the fish were really spread out. There were some schools of Tuna way up the Sea of Cortez past the Gordo Banks and Marlin and Sailfish out near the 95 bank. Alex, however, liked what he saw on the Pacific in regards to Sea Surface Temperature before he left the office. They headed for the Jaime Bank and found a nice school of Yellowfin. Tyler, Ross, Amy and Sarah were all smiles when they got back after bringing in 8 Yellowfin from 15-30lbs.

Texas takes Cabo once again!
The Zengerle group from Cuero, Texas, CCA supporters and first timers to Cabo went out on our 33’ El Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Ramon. They headed out to the sea of Cortez where the water was a steaming eighty four degrees. They used lures to catch 5 Tuna. The lucky crew took almost half of it home and the Texans from Cuero will be enjoying the rest for dinner tonight.
Jeff, Jakob, Zack, Debra and husband from East Bernard, Texas went out again for the second time this week on our 28’ RumRunnin with Javier and Juan. They had a horrible day on the water they said, catching a 50 pound Dorado using a lure, 2 twenty five pound Tuna and catch and releasing a 7 foot Sailfish. All of this only 15 miles south of our famous Arch where the water was eighty five degrees.
Sending a big Happy Birthday, or Feliz Cumplea~nos to George, our head Captain at RedRum who has been fishing these waters for the past thirty years. Muchas gracias for all of your heard work George!

CCA Texas takes on Cabo
Jeff, his sons Jakob and Zack, plus the Keller’s from East Bernard, Texas went out on our 32’ RumRunnin. They found out about RedRum through their CCA chapter and decided to come down to Cabo and give sportfishing a try with us. It’s their first time in Cabo and everyone was really excited to be here when they arrived at the office this morning. At a spot we call “Cabeza de Ballena”, or Whale’s Head on the sea of Cortez, the boys caught a forty five pound Dorado using live bait.
Jeannine, Fred, Ryan, Matt and Erica, also from Texas and CCA supporters, went out on our 33’ El Nuevo with Captain Alex, Mate Ramon and special guest Ryan Donovan. They used live bait to catch a large Sailfish at point 95 on the sea of Cortez and were back in time for happy hour. When I asked Ryan if he had anything he wanted to add to the report he insisted I let his readers know about his striking good looks. Being the honest girl that I am, I must insist that ya’ll decide for yourselves. Lucky for Ryan, Brooke likes his personality.

A great day for all...except maybe the fish (hehe)
Pete, Dustin and his son Ryan went out on our 32’ RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Manuel. They caught and released a ninety pound Marlin using live bait about 10 miles offshore of our lighthouse. They also fought two Sailfish and two other Marlin but they managed to get away. It was a good fight for young Ryan who got a chance to get into some of the action.
Gary, James, Brandon, Deborah, Sylvina and Jesse from Arizona went out on our 33’ El Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Ramon and caught 16 Tuna that weighed in between fifteen and twenty pounds. They also fished offshore from the lighthouse about twenty five miles out and used lures in the eighty three degree water. Now imagine how hot it was outside of the water…They’ll be making ceviche out of some of the fish tonight and taking the rest home since the only catching in Arizona is for snakes and scorpions.
Patrick and Juanita went out on our 28’ ReelRum with Captain Omar and Mate Americo. They used live bait to catch a Sailfish ten miles offshore and unfortunately struggled and lost a Marlin.
Doug, Carla and Jason from Dallas, Texas went out on our 32’ RedBeam with Captain Marcial and Mate Fabian. They caught 8 Tuna weighing in between fifteen and twenty pounds. They used lures to catch their Tuna and were fifteen miles offshore form the lighthouse where all the action went down today. The kind Texans took a few fillets for dinner, gave half of their catch to the crew and will be picking up the rest of their catch, vacuum sealed and frozen by RedRum, on the way to the airport upon their departure.
Another great day with RedRum!!!!

Mucho Tuna y Marlin Grande
Teri and Jerry Silva, their two teenage sons Jon and Jerry and their friend Robert from California fished on our 32’ RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Manuel. They had a great day on the water catching 9 Tuna and a hundred and thirty pound striped Marlin. They spent their time on the sea of Cortez where the water reached eighty five degrees nd used lures for the Tuna and live bait for the Marlin. They’ll be taking home lots of Tuna and are going to have their Marlin mounted.
Robert, Chad, Brandon, Jordan, Chase and George from Austin, Texas went out on our 33’ El Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Juan. They used lures to catch 3 twenty pound Tuna on the sea of Cortez and also seemed to catch quite a buzz with plenty of beer leftover. Fish and fun mix well at RedRum.

Marlin pics from July 9th
We love when we get photos from our Anglers! Here are a couple of photos from Lance Robbins who fished with friends on our 33' El Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Ramon on July 9th. "I want to say thanks for the great time we had last week ... That was the freshest, most delicious fish we have ever eaten. Everyone had fun, and you will be the first people we call for fishing when wecome back. Here are couple of pics of the Marlin I reeled in. Maybe you guys can use it on your website or something. Once again, thanks for thegreat experience in Cabo."-Lance
Ladies from Truckee
Lisa Abrahams, Peggy Gorman, Dian Sahlin and Heidi Avalos from Truckee, CA fished on our 32' RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Manuel on July 11th. The ladies had a great time and a delicious dinner afterwards at Missiones de Kino!

2 Sails and 2 Marlin
Brian, Chad and Mike went out for their third time this week, this time on our 32' RedBeam with Captain Marcial and Mate Fabian. Yesterday they brought in quite a few Tuna and today they fought, caught and released 2 Marlin and a Sail.
Blake and five of his friends went out on our 32' RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Manuel. They strolled in a bit later than usual, about six hours later (noon), but I don't ask questions. Beer in hand we got them on the water and they caught and released a Sail.

July 16th Fish Report
Brian, Anna, Chad and Mike went out for the second time this week on our 32’ RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Manuel. They came onto 10 Tuna on the sea of Cortez, a few of which they’ll be enjoying for dinner tonight.
Peter and Eileen went out on our 28’ ReelRum with Captain Omar and Mate Americo. About 15-20 miles offshore from the Cabo San Lucas Marina, Peter and Eileen caught and released 2 Marlin using a combination of live bait and lures. Both Marlins weighed between 100 and 120 pounds. Water temperature was at 81-83 degrees.
Lenus, Sharon, Lauren, Clay and Andre from Houston, Spring and Katy, Texas went out on our 33’ El Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Ramon. They heard about us through their local CCA chapter and purchased a Play and Stay package through which we provide accommodation and fishing. Today was day #1 for fishing and Alex got them onto 5 Tuna, a Sailfish and 3 Jacks on the Pacific side where water temperature was at 80 degrees. They used lures for the Tuna and live bait for the Sailfish. Clay has been Marlin fishing in the Bahamas but it was everyone’s first time in Cabo. When I asked him how both places
compared, Clay said of our company: “It’s the best darn fishing in Cabo.” 
Here are pictures of the proud Texans.

Wednesday update...
Tons of boats coming back today with no flags flying (non-redrum boats of course.) I won't point fingers or name names, but a lot of the boats on Dock A had a hard time finding the fish. RedRum boys however, had a good day on the water today. While it was somewhat slow out there, we got all our clients on fish. Most of the fishing was done on the Sea of Cortez a few miles out from the 95 bank.
The first boat back was the half-day share of Brad and Mike Hodge and Steve Milner and Lorna Contreras. Steve had been looking for a share for the past few weeks and we couldn't seem to find him one. As luck would have it, they shared a taxi down to the Marina from their resort with Brad and Mike who were coming down to the Marina looking to get on board with someone. Captain Tata was at the helm and as luck would have it, he hooked into the first BLUE MARLIN of the season for RedRum. Mike Powell had a 400lber last week on the Missing Lenk, however it wasn't with our clients, so we can't count that one. After 45 minutes, this bruiser of a Blue, estimated at over 200lbs snapped the line and swam away. Oh well, at least we know they are out there. Steve and Lorna were up next and they caught a nice Dorado in the 40lb class.
Wid and Joe were back for day two of their fishing trip and today they headed out with Captain Alex aboard El Nuevo RedRum. They once again didn't get into any Tuna of astonishing size, but they did bring 2 Yellowfin to the boat.
David Welch, Amado Maschmeyer, Keaton, Stratton and Smith Day, all headed out with Javier on Rum Runnin. While things were looking grim most of the day, a late Marlin strike made it all worth while. They saw a small bachelor school of 3 Stripey's on the surface and before they knew what was going on, the crew had hooked one of them. The Striped Marlin fought like hell, giving each person on the boat a chance to feel it's power. The guys estimated the fish at 160lbs.
Finally, we had Dustin Daniels and his wife with us today from North Carolina. They joined Captain Omar and Americo aboard ReelRum and brought in a Sailfish and 2 Yellowfin Tuna.
Great day for the RedRum Crew!
Diana is back tomorrow after being out for three weeks with a Broken Jaw. Welcome back Diana, we missed you. Ryan will be taking a much needed day off!

Tuesday...
Alex Trasvina, James Gaskill and his son Daniel Maldanado fished with RedBeam. Captain Marshall took them out towards the 95 and trolled rigged dead bait and cedar plugs. The cedar plugs were too much for the Tuna and they were lucky enough to bring 3 of them in.
Brian Younger from San Francisco along with his two buddies had a great day as well. Captain Javier on Rum Runnin was right there at the 95 with Captain Marshall, however he was able to hook the guys up with 6 Yellowfin.

Monday Update
Ryan Mast and his crew went out for day 2 of their Cabo adventure and once again had a great day. Following up the 3 Marlin on Sunday, the guys brought in 3 Yellowfin Tuna while fishing from the RedBeam. The guys enjoyed their catch at Misiones de Kino. Look forward to seeing you guys again soon!
Our good buddy Wid, who fished with us last year in the Western Outdoor News Tuna Jackpot, is down again and he finally got the Tuna he was looking for last November. While the 3 Yellowfin they brought in weren't the size it would take to take top honors in the tournament, they did get one nice 30+ lber. Wid also got his buddy hooked into a Striped Marlin. Great day guys.

Danny Dupree and the Local Drew Crew
Danny Dupree and his crew had a great day on El Nuevo RedRum. While they didn't get into the Marlin and Sailfish that the Mast party did, they found a school of Yellowfin and were able to bring in 5 nice fish.
Local Drew Deckman was itching for a day on the water with some friends and we were happy to oblige. Drew and his crew brought in 4 schoolie size Yellowfin and a nice Striped Marlin.

Mast crew...
Ryan Mast is a good friend of Brooke's from her Peace Corps days in Guatemala. Ryan came down with some good buddies of his from Louisiana for his bachelor party and headed out with Javier on Rum Runnin today. They just got back with 3 Striped Marlin Flags and 3 Catch and Release Flags.
Still catching up...
Chris Yonko and Cathy Miller, from Hollywood, Florida are visiting Cabo and they were out looking for Marlin. Chris wanted a big Marlin so that he could have something to mount. Sure enough, after a long slow day, Omar and Americo spotted a Marlin on the surface and threw a live pitch bait. Sure enough the Marlin took the offering and Chris' battle was on. Mission Accomplished.
Gabe Corchiani is in from Louisianna and after returning early a few days ago with 3 sick boys, he headed out by himself today with Ulyses. While the fishing was much better the first day he went out and had to return early, the boys stuck it out and got him a Yellowfin late in the day. Nice meeting you Gabe.
John and Carol Bratanov headed out with their 10 year old son for a day on the water with Javier on Rum Runnin and caught a monster Dorado. While the fishing was a bit slow, they were able to hook into, and land, a 63" Dorado weighing more than 50lbs. John's 10 year old son showed some serious heart, and muscles, fighting the fish for 40 minutes and finally bringing it all the way in. Great Job!
Tony and Michelle Annan, the latest of our Play and Stay guests were out with El Nuevo RedRum today and while the Sailfish they caught was nothing like the 600+lb Blue Tony caught the week before, they had a nice day on the water.
Neil Bordelon and Chris Kastberg hooked up on our share board and headed out for a day on the water with Marshall on the RedBeam. The guys were able to bring in 1 big Striped Marlin.

Warren Wong in the house...
Warren and Annie Wong, long time clients and friends are in town from Canada for their annual pilgrimage to Cabo San Lucas. They hooked up with Gregory and Louis Johnson, also long time clients for a shared day on the water aboard Rum Runnin. Captain Javier got the group in to the action with some Yellowfin Tuna and was able to hook one for each of them.
Brian Edmondson, along with his girlfriend Denise, is yet another TCU Horned Frog that has made it down over the last few weeks. Love all the Frogs making it down to Cabo. Brian and Denise fished with Marshall on the RedBeam and had a great day. They caught a nice Amberjack, 2 Yellowfin Tuna, and 1 Striped Marlin. A second Marlin was hooked but spit the hook after a short fight. Denise, I guess we will have to wait until you guys return before you get to bring one in bigger than Brian's.
Lance Robbins, along with his buddies James Hicks, Juan Franco, Cole Barnhill, and Drew Campbell were down here from Fort Worth, Texas and they were looking for Marlin. Lance was the lucky guy who reeled in the big Striped Marlin and the guys also brought in a Yellowfin Tuna. A clerical error by the office staff (me) shorted the guys a few sandwiches on the boat so they were hungry when they got back to the Marina. We made it up to them by giving out a few fillets of Dorado to go with their Yellowfin and they enjoyed some Tacos over at Mango Cantina.
Scott Mackenzie and his wife were visiting from Dracut, Massachusetts and Scott actually works in Andover, the town I was born in. Small world. Scott brought in a Yellowfin while his wife brought in a monster 61" Dorado.

John/Ryan/Brooke,
Rich Delor promised we would send pictures of the Marlin we caught with Omar and Americo on June 30. Again, thank you for the once in a lifetime (for me anyway) experience. We truly enjoyed our time. You have a top notch crew and outfit and we look forward to our next trip to Cabo and utilizing your company.

Hot weather and cool fishing is what the day brought to our anglers on RedRum boats. The temperature is sitting at 93 degrees but feels like 102, and not too much breeze just a bit from the south at 10 mph. It’s official, the heat has arrived in Cabo, if you aren’t in air conditioning, you are sweating, or glistening if you’re a lady. The good news is, the RedRum office is on its way to get some A/C installed, and we just can’t wait.
But back to the fishing, which there was a lot of, but not too much catching being done.
The crew on ReelRum, 2 fun couples from Boston, we liked them immediately as they are huge Red Sox fans, obviously. They headed out the Pacific side in search of some marlin or something. The fish gods weren’t on their side today. They fought with a roosterfish inshore for a bit, but lost it in the end and didn’t have too much luck after that. But they did have a fun time on the water! As we say it, “A bad day fishing still beats a good day working.”
The 2nd boat out was the 4 pack of ladies from Truckee, California. They were down about 2 years ago and were ready for more! Lisa, Peggy, Dian and Heidi are nothing but a good time and smiles. They had a blast on the water and loved the crew Manuel and Chivo aboard RumRunnin. Fishing near the light house about 12 miles out they caught two Skip Jacks a.k.a Bonitas. They were content with that, dinner for 4 at Misiones de Kino tonight with sashimi on the menu!
We hope tomorrow there is more catching.

Loco Ladies Wahoo
Hi Friends at RedRum!
Although Martha and I did not manage to land the trophy wahoo on July 4, we still had a great time. Our crew of Omar and Americo were outstanding, and I think that they even had fun showing off the kite fishing technique to the "El Loco Ladies".
We plan to come again and are telling all our friends about RedRum.
Here are some photos of that day that will make you laugh!

Playing catch up...
Hola Hola... Back to the reports after missing a few days. John Donovan was in town covering the office for a few days, since Diana is still out with her broken jaw. Unfortunately there is more to running a sportfishing company than catching monster fish all day long. Brooke and I spent the week going to Notary, getting permits, and all the other extremely boring and often times frustrating aspects of the business. That being said, at the end of each day, dad was more interested in cooling off with a glass of Pinot Grigio on ice than writing about all the fish being caught. I will do my best to piece together what happened in my absence.
Tuesday was phenominal for most of the boats we sent out. Another whale was found dead, floating offshore and providing both shade and a meal for many a fish. The boats that were fortunate enough to find the whale had amazing days. John Baggette, a friend from the state of Texas and TCU took a large party out with Fiden, the Captain of the 42' Pescado III. Fiden was one of the first boats on the scene and they caught 8 Yellowfin and 2 real nice sized Wahoo. We saw John and his crew that night at Misiones de Kino enjoying their catch. I had the pleasure of meeting John's wife and his daughter Hannah, who informed me that she was heading out the following day to show her dad how it was done. Unfortunately, day 2 wasn't as great of a day as a few of the ladies on the boat didn't agree with the seas and got sick. They were back early and didn't get much fishing in.
The Rico party that came off the Royal Carribean cruise ship suffered the same fate and they too had to call it quits shortly after their trip began.
Keith Grove and his son were back for Day 3 of their Cabo adventure and after 2 days and only 1 fish to show for it, they had something to prove. Well they certainly made up for the two slow days, Keith and his son came back with 4 Dorado flags and 8 tuna flags flying, grinning from ear to ear.
Jeff Clinkscales and Leon Jordan fished with Javier and Manuel aboard Run Runnin and caught a nice Marlin and a big Dorado. Not a bad day at all!
Kevin Miller fished with Carlos aboard a Panga and they went out searching for Roosterfish. While they couldn't get into the Roosters, they did grab some Bonita and 6 Pargo. A good friend of Captain Marshalls found the Roosters though and brought in a monster 53 Kilo fish, 116lbs. Can't imagine the fight that fish must have put up.
Matthew Clark and his crew had a great day on the Tuna as well, they fished with Omar and Americo on ReelRum and brought in 6 Yellowfin Tuna.
Don and Cecilia Carruth along with Matt and D'Liza Stockman fished with Freddy and caught a huge 107" 160lb Striped Marlin.
Wednesday was a little rough on the water, as the girls on Pescado III can vouch for. Duane Abshire fished with Javier and Chivo, and while they caught a Marlin they had a somewhat slow day.
Brian Reardon and his crew fished on the RedBeam and El Nuevo RedRum. Not sure how the Beam did, but they found a school of Tuna on El Nuevo and caught 5.
I'll catch you up on today tomorrow morning. Need to send out the latest edition of Portside, our email newsletter. If you don't currently receive Portside and would like to, shoot us an email and we will add you to the list. info@redrumcabo.com

Sunday session...
After a great 4th of July party last night (yes, we still celebrate American holidays,) Brooke and I had little to no interest in fishing this morning, but my Dad John was ready to get out on the water after working in the office all week. I talked to him early in the day and they had seen a bunch of Marlin, which he did not want to do battle with. (I know, pretty spoiled, seeing Marlin and not throwing bait.) Mate Manuel got a call from a friend on the radio who had found a big school of Tuna so the guys raced over. Unfortunately they were 7 miles away when they got the call and by the time they got there the school had dissipated a bit. John was able to get dinner for us out of the smaller school they found.
On ReelRum today we had Mr. and Mrs. Perry from Victoria, Texas. After "fishing" with another fleet yesterday, the Perry's were ready to do some actual fishing today so we hooked them up with Americo and Marshall on ReelRum. These folks wanted to catch Marlin and the boys made it happen for them. Both Mr. and Mrs. Perry were able to bring in nice Striped Marlin, one of the two measuring a whopping 114" inches. After the Marlin it was time to find dinner and once again they were successful, catching a nice Dorado to cook up tomorrow night.
Sorry for the few missing reports this week, Jefe John has been covering the office while Brooke and I have been running some errands away from the office. We are ready for Diana to get back, she has been feeling better and her jaw is healing, shouldn't be long. Thanks for all your help this week Dad, we love having you down here.
Adios, Happy Dominion Day/Canada Day and Happy 4th to all our wonderful clients from Canada and the United States!

Serious case of "Should have been here yesterday..."
Unfortunately, our anglers today got a serious case of "Should have been here yesterday..." With four RedRum boats scouring the seas, along with countless other Cabo boats also in on the search, the whale was nowhere to be found. Maybe those gases that brought the beast to surface escaped or subsided and what was left of the whale was making it's way to the ocean floor. Mother nature always has a way of throwing curve balls and today certainly was certainly one of them. After two days of off the chart fishing success, the drop off today was a major letdown.
Friend to the RedRum family, Joe Munos visited us today and fished with his son aboard Rum Runnin. Javier wasn't able to find any fish that wanted to bite, and unfortunately the boat came back skunked.
Robb Jenkins and his crew fish with El Nuevo RedRum and Captain Alex found only 1 Dorado that was willing to tango.
Ryan Gallagher and his friends took out the RedBeam today and brought back 1 Yellowfin Tuna.
Richard and Meg Delor were back for day two and they were the luckiest of all anglers today, bringing in 2 Yellowfin Tuna and nice 200+ lb Striped Marlin.
Hopefully the fish will be back on Friday.

Whale of a Wednesday
The boys found the dead whale again today, 26 miles offshore, with Captain Omar reportedly the 4th boat at the scene Wednesday morning. Captain's Alex and Javier were quickly informed of the whereabouts and were on their way. Omar reported fish up to half a mile away from the whale, not just directly underneath the temporary "structure at sea."
Kyle Newcomer and his wife Adrienne, who had already fished once with us this week and had a great "mixed bag" day, were back out on the water. Looking to add to a great first day, their second day on the water was one I am sure they couldn't even have imagined. Finding the fish around 9am, they were out of bait by 10am and had to resort to plastics at that point. They caught 8 Dorado up to 40lbs and released 3 of them, and also hauled in 3 Yellowfin Tuna.
The Van Amburg party was next up, Jim, Niv, Dustin and Preston fished aboard El Nuevo RedRum with Captain Alex. They too found the whale and the action was on. They coaxed 9 Dorado to the boat as well as 2 Yellowfin Tuna.
Darren Payne's party was fishing with RumRunnin, Todd, Kenny, Doug, and the two Ryan's had a phenominal day. Kenny and Doug each had 4 Dorado, but Doug also brought in 3 Tuna, making him the winner of the most fish. All total, the crew had 14 Dorado, many of which were released and 9 Yellowfin Tuna. Sounds like Mate Manuel had his hands full.
Finally we had Dennis Ortiz from SouthLake, Texas. The Ortiz's live next to our good friends the Corley's in SouthLake and Dennis heard all about us from Thomas Corley. Excited to have a connection in Cabo, the Ortiz's booked a full day with us on the RedBeam. While we made the Ortiz's aware of what was happening out near the whale, they had Marlin on their mind. Heading up towards the Gordo Banks on the Sea of Cortez, Marshall did his best to make a Marlin happen. While pitching bait to a bunch of fish, they couldn't get a Marlin interested. They did hav a nice consolation prize of 2 good size Dorado.
Let's see if we can find that floating whale a third day in a row tomorrow.
