They fished the lighthouse point on the Pacific side and caught 2 twenty to twenty five pound Dorado and caught and released a sailfish just two miles from shore where the water temperature was at eighty six degrees.
Chris and Lisa Hang just got married. They decided to honeymoon in crazy Cabo San Locos and bring two other couples with them. They admitted to knowing nothing about fishing but showed tons of enthusiasm so I helped book them on a 32; partner boat. Though the ladies got sick and the boat had to come back, the boys went back out and caught 2 twenty five pound Dorado and caught and released 2 hundred and ten to hundred and twenty pound Striped Marlin. They fished the lighthouse.
Chris, Cory and Dick went out on our 33’ El Nuevo with Captain Alex and mate Ramon. These guys are serious fishermen, partying hard and late every night and coming in early to kick butt three of their vacation days. Chris especially exhibited extraordinary enthusiasm from the moment he entered the office to the moment he left. Captain Alex asked if we had spiked the waters on the boat with RedBull. The enthusiasm paid off as Chris caught and released a hundred and forty pound Striped Marlin during a double hook-up with Cory fighting a second hundred and forty pound Marlin. Cory and Dick also had some luck with the Dorado, 2 of which they caught weighing about twenty five pounds. This was a trip that Chris, his brother and father had been planning for over a year and they were psyched with the way it ended. The father and sons team fished the lighthouse point on the pacific side just five miles from shore.

They fished the lighthouse two miles from shore where water temperature reached eighty seven degrees. Greg and John each caught and released a hundred pound Sailfish. Brian and Bubba each caught and released a hundred and thirty pound Striped Marlin. Greg caught the twenty pound Tuna for dinner and they all shared in catching 3 twenty pound Dorado as well. Besides that, it was just a good time they said.
Rex and friends went out on our 31’ partner boat with Captain Ulises. They fished the lighthouse point three miles from shore and caught and released 2 hundred and eighty pound Striped Marlin as well as a thirty pound Dorado.
Kenneth, Debbie, Barry and Marie went out on our 28’ partner boat. They fished Los Arcos on the Pacific side and caught 3 Tuna weighing 130lbs, 160lbs (Barry’s babies) and 30 lbs (Marie’s sweetheart). Marie also caught a seventy pound Dorado.

Sad Sad Day for Team RedRum
From John Donovan:
Our office mascot “Shea” passed away this morning, there was an accident (we do not wish to discuss). She was a great dog and friend to all of our RedRum family and friends. She will be missed by all. There are days that the number of fish that are caught does not matter, today is one of those days.
Please say a prayer for Shea, Ryan, Brooke and all the RedRum family.
Chris, James and James senior went out on our 32’ RumRunnin with Captain Manuel and Mate Juan. They fished Los Arcos and Golden Gate on the Pacific side. Just two miles from shore, where the water was eighty five degrees, the group caught a Marlin and 8 Dorado. They were four hours into their trip, a few Dorado already under their belt when they got a triple hook-up: Dick was fighting the nine foot; hundred and ninety pound Striped Marlin while the other two fought Dorado’s. The fight with Dick’s Marlin lasted forty five minutes and was afterwards released.
Isaac, Tom and James from California went out on our 31’ partner boat with Captain Ulises. They fished Los Arcos just four miles from shore. Using live bait, Jim caught and released a nine foot; hundred and forty pound Striped Marlin which he fought for about forty five minutes. Isaac caught a fifty pound Wahoo and they all helped in catching 2 fifteen pound Tuna as well as 8 fifteen to thirty pound Dorado.
The Weaver group went out for the second time this week on our 33’ El Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Ramon. They fished Golden Gate just three miles from shore. Using feather lures they caught 5 twenty pound Dorado, two of which they released. They also caught a fifteen pound Tuna.
As happens at times, the honeymooners from Alaska, fishing on our 32’ RedBeam came back really early after the new bride became sick.
Michael and Justin from Louisville, Kentucky went out on our 28’ ReelRum with Captain Omar and Mate Americo. They fished on Friday went the tropical storm going by us threw down some water and the Kentucky boys got a chance to fish again today with a clear sky. Fishing the Pacific waters they caught three fifteen pound Dorado and nailed a large Sailfish which they released.

Sept 24th... a little late
It was a day of celebrating for clients and a super busy day for me at the office. With Ryan still on his guys trip, Diana out sick and 2 groups of clients checking in at the condos for the Stay & Play I was one worn out woman.
But there was celebrating to be had on the boats. We had 2 couples on their honeymoon, 1 birthday and 1 bachelor party. Let's party I say!
Mindi and Caleb (now) Leonard from Oklahoma just got done saying their nuptials before they headed down to Cabo for their honeymoon. They set sail towards the Pacific side with Omar and Americo on ReelRum and reeled in 2 nice 25 pound Tuna.
The second honeymooners were Dave and Agnes Nowak from Chicago. They had a great newly wed day on the water with 4 Tuna and 1 Dorado caught aboard RumRunnin.
Paul managed to get 4 out of 5 of his buddies out of bed after a night of partying in Cabo. You guessed it, this is the bachelor party group. With about 3 cases of beer being loaded onto the boat before sunrise these 5 serious fisherman were ready for fun and fish. Carlos, Paul, Jarrett, Jason and Ramiro headed out on the RedBeam with Marcial. The fish weren't biting. "The guys worked their tails off and did everything they could by switching line, baits, positions etc. I'd bitch if I could but I can't, they did a great job." said Jarrett. That says it all folks, our crews will do their best to get you on the fish, but we can't make them bite. The guys had a good time despite the few fish caught (heck who can't with 3 cases of beer!) And Paul the Bachelor was able to reel in the 1 Tuna that made it on board.
And last but not least was the Coens, Joseph Sr., Lorraine and son Joseph Jr. were down for two reason. One was Joseph Jr's birthday the other was to get dad on that billfish and catch dinner! Aboard El Nuevo the Coens headed out to Los Arcos in hopes of reeling in something. They did will reeling in the dinner that they hoped for, 3 Tunas around 15 pounds each and 3 Dorado around 25 pounds each. Nice job guys and Happy Birthday to you Joesph, I think the 25th is your actual birthday. Looks like tomorrow dad will have a chance to reel in that billfish. See you tomorrow.
Hasta Pronto!

Thunder, Lightening and a Brief Shower
Around 8:30am the sun coming through my window was covered by a pack of dark clouds. They looked menacing but I figured they were just teasing as usual. Then at 11am the thunder, lightening and shower show began. It didn't last more than an hour but the port captain ordered all the boats in and ended our fishing daily earlier than we would have liked.
Thankfully the guys on our 28' ReelRum had already planned on fishing a second day on Sunday so they'll have a chance for a nie catch soon.
The Weaver group from Texas went out on our 33' El Nuevo and managed to come back with 3 Dorado, one of which was released. They caught the 25-30lbs fish just short of Golden Gate on the Pacific side.

September 23rd
Well I’m back in the office for a few days while my husband Ryan heads up to Clemson to root on not Clemson but our alma matter TCU. GO FROGS! Yup, it’s a boys trip so I was off the invite list, but am covering the fort while the guys get themselves into trouble up there. I’m glad to report the latest and greatest at RedRum in Cabo San Lucas.
The glowing honeymooners Nathan and Jessica from Tampa arrived early off of the RedBeam this afternoon. Jessica wasn’t feeling too well on the water and wanted to head in. But just when they were heading back from the Lighthouse the Captain and Mate on RedBeam fired a few lures in the water after some trolling in the morning. And BAM, BAM, BAM just like that a triple Marlin hook-up in minutes! Jessica was suddenly feeling a bit better. Muneca the mate had to get on the 3rd Marlin as the honeymooners were a few hands short. Muneca’s Marlin got away which he called a “Mexican release”. But Nathan and Jessica fought for 2 hours! They were able to pull their 180-200 pound Marlins on board for some pictures and released them all before 1 pm. That’s a heck of a morning on the Pacific!
The office was a whirlwind as the rest of the crews came back around 3:30. Chris, John, Russel and Rene headed out again on El Nuevo. The fish were putting up a fight as they were out around Los Arcos in the Pacific side. The got on a Wahoo but it got away. They just couldn’t get them on board. The guys got into about 3-4 Dorado as well and lost them in the fight, but ended up with one to cook up back at the condos. These guys will enjoy a nice dinner back at the Portofino Condos in their Stay & Play package.
Our dear friend Kaye Peters had her family in town and her dad had his eyes on catching that BIG Billfish. All aboard RumRunnin was Jona, Jerry & Cordelia Swaford along with the lovely Kaye. They headed out to the Pacific Side and saw a lot of Marlin out on the surface as they were pitching live bait, but just couldn’t get them to bite. The had the feather lures out for the Dorado, but they weren’t having it either. As they headed toward Mirgrino on the Pacific side about a mile out, Jerry got that BIG fish, that Sailfish that he’s always dreamed of!
Yvette & Tracy from Newburgh, Indiana headed out on ReelRum with Omar & Americo. Out to Golden Gate they ran hoping to get on some fish for dinner. They were able to catch 2 nice Dorado on live bait and a nice Tuna on a lure. We’ve got their cooler here to vacuum seal and freeze their catch and the rest they’ll be eating at Missiones de Kino for dinner!
Hasta Manana

Tuesday's Report
Chris Sadlers CCA Play and Stay group from Louisiana wanted to target the Billfish today and while the bit for Marlin still hasn't arrived in ridiculous numbers here in Los Cabos, they were able to catch and release a nice 9ft Striped Marlin.
Sean and Elizibeth McCrary from Dallas, Texas were referred to us from a friend from TCU and they were excited about their trip with us. After a slow start to the morning, Omar and Americo ended up finding the fish late and after catching 10 Yellowfin within an hour, they were then able to catch a nice Stiped Marlin which Sean described as one of the Top 10 Highlights of his life!
Finally, we had Jason and Jacque Tedesco fishing with us aboard Rum Runnin with Javier and Manuel. Javier really like what he saw water temperature wise on the Sea of Cortez, and while the fishing has been good on the Pacific, he decided to take a chance with the Cortez. Good call Javier! The Tedesco's fished the 95 spot with live bait for the Dorado and feathers for the Tuna. They ended up with 8 Tuna and 3 Dorado.
- I am off to Dallas and then Clemson, South Carolina for a little guys trip to watch the TCU Horned Frogs do battle with the Clemson Tigers, it's up to Brooke and Diana to run the show. See you Monday.

Monday's update
Joe Gaar and his wife April are down visiting from Louisiana and after catching a Marlin on his last trip, it was April's turn. The Gaar's had a great day with Alex and Ramon on El Nuevo and while originally scheduled for a half day, they were having too much fun and decided to stay out for the full day once they were into the action. After hooking up with a Striped Marlin briefly in the beginning of the trip, then catching 4 Yellowfin and a Dorado, April's turn finally came. Ramon pitched the right bait to the right fish and her battle was on. 35 minutes later, after a successful catch and release, April earned her Marlin flag. Congrats April, and come back and see us soon.
Next up was Kyra Williams and Ryan Covino from Boston, Mass. Kyra and Ryan were all about getting out for a day on the water and hopefully chasing some Billfish. While the Billfish didn't cooperate, Javier and Manuel did put them on the fish today. Kyra and Ryan finished up with 6 Yellowfin Tuna and 1 Dorado which they enjoyed over at Mango Cantina with the crew of Rum Runnin. Next up, was Wild Canyon Zip Line Park and Dune Buggy's with Wide Open.
Finally, our good friend from Cabo Kaye Peters and her Dad Jerry, Stepmom Jona and Sister Cordelia headed out with Omar and Juan aboard ReelRum. Jerry has always wanted to catch and Billfish and while they put in the time today, they couldn't get one to bite. As soon as they switched gears, and opened the first beers, they were into the Dorado. Finishing up with 4 Dorado, which they were nice enough to share with us at Missiones de Kino, Jerry will have to wait until Wednesday to try to catch the elusive Marlin.

Sunday's Report
Trista Bolinger, Justin Lewis, and Carrington Brown, all from TCU and Lindsay Brown, Carrington's wife, headed out with the boys on Rum Runnin for a half day of fishing today. They hooked into a Marlin which spit the hook after only a few minutes, and Carrington fought a nice Wahoo all the way to the boat, before it too spit the hook and got away at the last second. I guess it wasn't in the cards for these guys today, Fish 2 Clients 0. Next time guys, that's why they call it fishing. Nice to see some familiar faces from school though, hope to see you back in Cabo soon.
Heather and James Graham shared a boat with Donovan Rittenbach today and they had a great day. They pulled in 3 nice sized Yellowfin and a Mako shark, and Donovan went to battle with a monster. For nearly 2.5 hours, Donovan pulled on a giant Yellowfin Tuna. Americo the mate who pitched bait, said the fish left a hole in the water the size of a VW Bug when it took the live bait offering. Rigged with 50lb test, the pitch bait rod turned out to be no match for this monster that Omar and Americo estimated at well over 200lbs. Way to get after it Donovan, I think you may need to join a few other Donovan's this year in defense of our 1st Place finish in the Los Cabos Tuna Jackpot last year.
Daren Gann, along with friends Karen Carrington, Cary Carrington, John Harrell, Marlene Feroni, and Matthew Judy joined Fabian and Marshall aboard the RedBeam today. Daren kept his hot streak going and everyone got to spend ample time on the rod and reel. When it was said and done, they had 14 Dorado to show for their day on the water. Great stuff Daren, enjoy the filets.

Mucha Tuna y Dorado
Peter and David from New Jersey and California went out for the second time this week, this time on one of our 28’ partner boats. They fished the Pacific side, seventeen miles out and caught 8 Dorado weighing up to forty pounds as well as 2 Tuna that weighed up to forty pounds as well. They fought a big Tuna but it got away. They also fought a Striped Marlin but it broke the line.
Todd and Chris from Texas went out for the second time this week, this time on our 32’ RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Manuel. They fished Jimmy banks on the Pacific side, 22 miles from Cabo and 13 miles from shore. Using live bait as well as feather lures, Todd and Chris caught 9 Tuna, each weighing up to thirty five pounds. They hooked up a Blue Marlin but it got away. They hit a Sail but it wasn’t hungry and they also side casted a Striped Marlin without luck. Todd and Chris loved their Captain and Mate, saying that “they were very nice, talkative and overall, an excellent crew”.
Danny, Tom, Tom and Mike went out for the third time this week, this time on a 32’ partner boat. After catching lots of Dorado the past two days they went out looking for the bills but fought and unfortunately lost 2 Stripers as well as a Blue. They brought back 2 more Dorado which they will be taking home with them.
Clayton, Richard and Scott went out on a 31’ partner boat with Captain Francisco and Mate Oscar. They headed west to the Pacific and by Migri~no caught Tuna and Dorado. Clayton caught one of each as did Scott; Richard caught 2 Dorado and a Tuna. They caught the Dorado about a half a mile from the shore and the Tuna at about five miles from the shore. Using feather lures to catch all the fish, the Dorado came in at 15-25 pounds and the Tuna up to twenty pounds.
Sean, Robby and Parker from San Antonio, Texas went out on our 32’ RedBeam with Captain Marcial and Mate Fabian. Sean caught and released a hundred and thirty five pound Striped Marlin, Robby caught 2 Dorado and Parker caught a Dorado, all three weighing between twenty and thirty pounds. They fished the Pacific in an area called San Cristobal just fifteen miles out of Cabo and three miles from shore using feather lures.
Daren, Brady, Melvina and Joey went out for the second time this week, this time on our 28’ ReelRum with Captain Omar and Mate Americo. They fished San Jaime in the Pacific, fifteen miles from shore and caught a twenty pound Tuna as well as a fifteen pound Dorado. They’re going back out tomorrow; this group is serious about the fishing!

Belated Fishing Report
WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 16TH
Kodi and Kurt shared our 32’ RumRunnin. They were both looking to fish but their ladies weren’t having it. Not wanting to battle the bills and fins alone, they requested our help to find a suitable fighting partner and we were able to set this up. The new friends headed to the Pacific side and with the help of Captain Javier and Mate Manuel, Kodi and Kurt caught 5 Dorado and caught and released a Marlin.
Gordon and Gordon, the father-son duo, went out on our 28’ ReelRum with Captain Omar and Mate Americo. After catching a ton of fish on Tuesday they went looking for a big one. Father and son spent two hours fighting a 150-200 pound Tuna before the line broke…bummer. They still had a great day on the water though and lots of fish to take home with them. So much, they couldn’t even fit it into their cooler and had to leave lots behind. Don’t worry guys, we have plenty of mouths we can feed over here.
THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 17TH
Danny, Jay, Mike, Mike and Tom went out on our 33’ El Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Ramon for the second time this week. They fished our pacific waters and caught 3 Dorado using live bait and a ninety pound Sailfish, catch and release, also using live bait. They caught the Dorado offshore from Los Arcos and the Sail off of the Lighthouse, just five miles offshore.
Amy and her husband Michael from Gainesville, Virginia went out on our 28’ ReelRum with Captain Omar and Mate Americo. They fished right outside of Golden Gate, just three miles offshore where water temperature was between 84-85 degrees. Using live bait, the couple caught 5 Dorado and 1 Marlin which they released.
Luke and friends went out on one of our 33’ partner boats but they had to come back early because four out of the six anglers got sea sick as unfortunately, sometimes happens.
Peter and friend David went out on a 31’ partner boat with Captain Ulises. They fished by the lighthouse, just two miles offshore and caught 6 Dorado using live bait.
Linda, Ed, Judy and Jerry from Colorado and Maryland went out on a 28’ partner boat and caught 3 Dorado on the Pacific side. Linda called ahead of time to make sure the proper equipment would be on the boat, iced and ready for consumption upon their arrival: 12 pack of BudLight and a case of Corona.
Jake, Brian, Brent, Dusty, David and Al from Louisiana went out on our 28’ RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Manuel. They fished Jimmy banks on the Pacific and landed a quadruple hookup! They were thirteen miles offshore and twenty miles from Cabo where water temperature was at 84 degrees. Using lures the guys caught 18 Tuna weighing up to thirty pounds and a thirty pound Dorado as well.

Ryan's Dorado
Guys - I wanted to give a big 'thank you' to you for the GREAT fishing trip my wife Erica and I had with Omar, Manuel and you all on September 7th. In the end, we caught 4 nice tuna, 2 nice dorado, a striped marlin about 125 lbs and a 90-100 lb sailfish (96 inches).
At one point we had 5 lines hooked up with tuna and being that there was only myself, Erica and Manuel to grab the rods, we would have had even more. The billfish experience was incredible. I had been bummed that we lost our first hookup and then the crazy action came. We had both billfish hooked up at the same time! Erica had not really even planned to fish too much but as I was reeling in the sailfish, she was forced into fighting the marlin! We released the marlin, but the crew had felt the sailfish was too damaged in the gill so we kept it and it is being mounted in my rec room at home!
Anyway, I wanted to say thanks and let you know we will definitely be back with you again in the future. All my friends are very jealous of the trip I had and I will recommend you to all I know. I think my buddies are going to force me to take them along next time! I have attached a few pictures, but we really didn't have enough hands to catch fish and take pictures at the same time!

Tuesday's Tuesday Update...
Wow!!!! I feel bad for our vacuum packing machine right now. 3 of the boats just got back at the same time and I can't see across the Marina because of all the flags on our boats right now. Tourists are going to walk by and think we just washed all the flags and are just hanging them to dry because we couldn't possibly catch all those fish. Au Contraire!
I'll start with the slackers and you will quickly be able to see where this is going. Danny Armijo along with his son Jay, and two buddies Mike and Mike headed out with Alex and Ramon and were quick to tell me this is definitely going to be a yearly trip for them. Jay was hooked into a monster Yellowfin, over 100lbs, but unfortunately lost it. One of the Mike's had a 60lb class Yellowfin, while the other had one in the 30lb class. After they finished with the Tuna, they hooked into and landed 8 Dorado. 10 fish for the day, and they were the boat that came back with the least amount of flags flying.
Terra and Josh Richards are super nice couple from the Fort Worth area of Texas who are down here on a "business trip." Terra and Josh own a Marina on Eagle Mountain Lake and wanted to see what our Marina looked like. Terra was a trooper today, while she normally does not offshore fish because of Sea Sickness issues, Josh had a buddy back out and she decided to make a go of it. One Scopace seasickness pill later and we officially turned her into an offshore fishing JUNKY. She is already ready to squash wintertime plans of taking the kids skiing to come back to Cabo and chase the Billfish. Josh returned to the office and stated that today was his best trip ever. They finished the day with 6 Dorado and 7 Yellowfin Tuna. Terra claims to have taken some great pics and I am going to hold her to sending them down to us.
Gordon and Gordon Coble Jr. fished with us on ReelRum today with Captain Omar and Mate Americo. These guys took the cake today and caught some whoppers. The father and son combo stayed busy all day bringing in an astonishing 10 Yellowfin Tuna and 8 Dorado. Tomorrow they head back out to try and match today's phenominal fishing.
It's not often that the stars align like they did today, but it sure is fun to be around all our wonderful customers when it does. Normally, we see the Dorado bite strong and someone will come back with 6-8 on a great day. Other times, the Yellowfin are biting well and somewhen can also have a great day with 6-8 fish. As folks know, the fall and winter can be great for Marlin and we can have similar success with the Billfish. But for 2 of the 3 main species to be hitting the way they did today, magical!!!
Awesome day to be a part of RedRum and the fantastic fishery that is CABO SAN LUCAS!

Tuesday's Monday Update.
Julie Houghtling was back fishing with us again today. I thought it had only been a year, but Julie quickly informed me that it has been two years since she has been down. Julie, Nick, Lynette, Nathan and Kevin headed out with Captain Alex and Mate Ramon aboard El Nuevo Redrum. The guys headed for a temp break near the Los Arcos area that they found looking at the Terrafin.com website. They had a feeling the area was holding fish and they were right. Not 10 minutes after the guys set out the lines, they had Dorado on the line. The problem was, not 20 minutes after the first fish was in the boat, one of the guys started feeling seasick. Unfortunately, Julie had to signal Alex to head back to the Marina, cutting their time on the water short. All in all, they returned happy, had a nice time on the water, enjoyed the crew and had two nice Mahi Mahi to show for it. Hope to see you again soon Julie!
Jud Sustala and Wilson Franklin treated their crew to the to the top of the line today. Jud, Wilson and 6 others headed out aboard the 53' Viking Missing Lenk and had a phenominal day with Captain Mike Powell. Mike has been fishing a temp break north of Golden Gate the past few days and had great success there again yesterday. The guys hooked into some nice Yellowfin Tuna, had 2 Striped Marlin (one of which was apparently a hoss), and a Blue Marlin estimated between 250-300lbs. Great day guys and come back and see Missing Lenk again soon.
Allen and Andrea Scheib from Kingwood, Texas are visiting Cabo and wanted to give sportfishing a shot. I'm not sure they will be doing it again, and not because they had a bad day, but rather because they probably won't ever match how good a day they had. Captain Marshall hit the jackpot today and hooked into and landed 13 Dorado by the time it was said and done.
Finally, we had Lisa and Fred Bolton along with Skip Russo and his wife Pam who traveled down from Los Barriles on the east cape yesterday morning to fish with us. About an 1.5 hours from here Los Barriles is a beautiful little laid back town on the east cape which offers good fishing and great diving. Their morning started out slow, as they had car trouble right of the bat. Once they got here to Cabo though, it was all good. They headed out with Captain Javier and Mate Manuel aboard Rum Runnin. When they got back in the afternoon they had caught 4 Dorado and a nice 90lb Yellowfin. Hope you guys had a less eventful ride back to the East Cape and thanks for making the drive to come see us.

Weekend Fish Report
Scott and his friend David from San Antonio Texas went out with Captain Omar yesterday on our 28’ ReelRum. They headed west to Golden Gate and caught 7 Dorado that weighed between thirty and forty pounds.
Tom (aka Tyrone), Greg, Greg and Steven from Minnesota went out for the second time this week but this tie on our 32’ RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Manuel. When I asked them how it went, they said they “were like kids on Christmas morning”. They caught 4 Tuna using live bait just 12 miles offshore at the lighthouse on the Pacific side. They caught big ones, weighing 100, 80, 60 and 30 pounds which they picked up this morning, vacuum sealed and almost frozen, to take home with them.
The Gomez group went out on our 32’ RedBeam with Captain Marcial and Mate Fabian yesterday. They caught 2 Tuna, an eighty pounder as well as another around 55 pounds using live bait. They also caught a Dorado which they released at the lighthouse point just seven miles from shore.
The Culpepper/Martin group from Corpus Christi, Texas went out on a 44’ partner boat yesterday and today. Yesterday they caught 4 Tuna weighing between fifteen and thirty pounds and a Dorado which they took home for dinner that night. Today they caught sixty pound Tuna just twenty minutes after leaving the Marina, followed by a 30 pound Bull Dorado and another 10 pound Dorado, all on the Pacific side.
Eric and his wife Marry-Ellen from Chicago went out today on our 33’ El Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Ramon. They checked-in a bit late this morning citing the tequila tasting they went to last night and came back after their long day looking fully recovered. Out by point 95 of the pacific side they caught 2 thirty pound Tuna and 3 thirty pound Dorado, two of which they released. They used live bait and feather lures. When I asked them how their day had gone, Eric replied: “If it were that easy it wouldn’t be called fishing”. What a sport. They caught their “dinner” within the first hour and proceeded to search for Marlin. They spotted a few but they didn’t want to bite. Before leaving the office and after purchasing a RedRum t-shirt or hat for everyone in their extended family, they wanted me to know that their crew was great and that we will definitely be seeing them next time they come to Cabo.
Ryan Donovan, aka Donny, aka Picoso, went out today with his buddies Gonzalo, Jerome and Marcial on our 32’ RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Manuel. Picoso (translation, Spicy) spent a lot of the time on the tower with Captain Javier looking for fish while Jerome and Marcial napped off their hangovers. Ryan insisted on using the spread bar and just when they were about to switch it out, a 40 pound Tuna hooked up. Ryan and Gonzalo jumped in the water to swim with the big one before they ended his sweet life. Gonazalo, being a world famous, professional, aquatic photographer got some good shots in the water which we will post as soon as they’re back from the dark room. They also caught a small twenty pound Dorado. And finally, while Ryan was looking into the expanse of the sea and sky, most likely after quite a few cervezas and a few too many hours of sun, he came up with an updated RedRum saying (not yet authorized by John “El Jefe” Donovan): “Do you like to fish, or just catch fish”. You’re going to have to ask him about this one. Just another philosophical moment at RedRum, ladies and gents.
Another great weekend. What are you waiting for???

Ryan insisted on using the spread bar and just when they were about to switch it out, a 40 pound Tuna hooked up. Ryan and Gonzalo jumped in the water to swim with the big one before they ended his sweet life. Gonazalo, being a world famous, professional, aquatic photographer got some good shots in the water which we will post as soon as they’re back from the dark room. They also caught a small twenty pound Dorado. And finally, while Ryan was looking into the expanse of the sea and sky, most likely after quite a few cervezas and a few too many hours of sun, he came up with an updated RedRum saying (not yet authorized by John “El Jefe” Donovan): “Do you like to fish, or just catch fish”. You’re going to have to ask him about this one. Just another philosophical moment at RedRum, ladies and gents.
Another great weekend. What are you waiting for???

More Tuna and Dorado
Paul and his son Mark and Walter and his son James went out today on our 32’ RedBeam with Captain Marcial. They went up the Pacific to Los Arcos where the water was at eighty five degrees. Only three miles offshore they caught 3 fifteen to twenty pound Tuna and a thirty pound Dorado.
Dave, Brian and David from California went out on our 32’ RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Manuel. They caught a thirty pound Dorado with a feather lure at Golden Gate on the Pacific side just twelve miles offshore.

Enough Tuna to Last Through the Winter
Leslie Jordan and her new husband Jerome went out with daughter Shelby and her friend Jillian on our 32’ RedBeam with Captain Marcial. Leslie and Jerome wed this past Tuesday on famous and beautiful Pedregal beach and decided to celebrate their amor fishing with us today and doing a great job at it! They fished Golden Gate on the Pacific side just thirteen miles offshore where the water was at eighty five degrees. They caught 8 Tuna ranging from twenty to forty pounds and on their way back caught 3 Dorado weighing up to twenty pounds.
Tom, Greg and Steven from Minnesota made me laugh more than usual this morning and even as they arrived back after an eight hour fishing trip they managed to keep the humor running high. Great anglers that they are, they didn’t pout after coming back with just one Tuna. “That’s why it’s called fishing” said Greg. Lucky for them they’ll also be going out on Saturday and get another try at reeling in a big Tuna. One thing is for sure, they won’t let anything get in their way when it comes to having a good time.
AJ and his wife from California went out on our 32’ RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Manuel. They went off to Golden Gate, about twelve miles offshore and caught 5 Tuna. Three of the Tuna were quite large and took us forever to vacuum seal. The three largest Tuna weighed 120lbs, 95lbs and 45 pounds. They’ll be taking their fish home with them tomorrow once it gets all frozen and will have enough Tuna meat to get them through the winter.

Where did everyone go?
Seems like everyone came down to Cabo before Labor Day and enjoyed the long weekend, but headed home late Monday. Only one boat went out today, Liz and Fred Smith from Tampa, Florida. Had a nice conversation with Liz and Fred before their charter and they mentioned how they never have any time for fishing back in Tampa. That's why you come on vacation right?
Heading towards the Golden Gate on the Pacific in mid 80's water with clear skies. All was going well on the way up to the bank, but when Omar spotted a school of Porpoise and Tuna and started the troll, Liz unfortunately started to feel ill. Liz hung in like a trooper, long enough for Fred to bring in a nice size Tuna, but after that it was time to head back to stable grounds of land.
Dramamine is always a good idea not only the morning of, but also the night before if anyone is ever worried about sea-sickness. Hopefully we'll see Liz and Fred back in Cabo soon and the seas will agree with everyone.

Labor Day Update!
Hola Hola, Happy Labor Day to all my readers in the States. Hope everyone had a fun and safe holiday weekend. While you were all at the Lake, tooling around with the Wakeboards, Jet Ski's and Bass Boats, RedRum clients were out catching fish! And lots of them.
The Father/Son team of Torrey and Loren Eltiste along with pal Mickey Streater had a slow day to start, but finished strong. Heading towards Golden Gate Bank on the Pacific with Alex and Ramon, the guys had a hard time getting a bite. Alex and Ramon kept on it though, staying out on the water longer than the normal 8 hours and it paid off with late hook-ups. The guys got into a small school of Tuna, where they got 3 nice size fish from the looks of the fillets and also manages a nice Dorado.
Ryan Pomroy and Erica Swartz of Alexandria, Virginia had a hell of a day on the water today. Heading out with Omar and Manuel on ReelRum, also towards the Golden Gate Banks, they got into the fish early and often. Omar had them on 4 Tuna before 9am, followed by 2 Dorado shortly thereafter. Later in the day came the Billfish, with 3 hook-ups which resulted in a catch and release Marlin, and a catch and release and mount of a nice Sailfish. Congrats guys, fabulous day on the water.

Marlin in Sight
The Rasmussen group from Texas were back today for the second time this week but without the girl’s who were reported as “kidnapped”, which in Cabo language most of the time means that they are still partying well into daylight. They went out on our 32’ RedBeam with Captain Marcial and Mate Fabian. The guys did really well today catching 11 Tuna, 1 Bonita and they even caught and released a nine foot, hundred and fifty pound Striped Marlin on their way in. They said that it sure makes a difference fishing when you’re still drunk/hungover, which they weren’t today. The girl’s stopped by mid-day to ask how the boys fishing was going along and then headed back to Mango Deck for perhaps another booty-shaking contest (which they won yesterday). Good luck ladies!!!
The Franklin group, also from Texas went out for their second day in a row on our 32’ RumRunnin and 33’ El Nuevo. The folks on RumRunnin went thirty seven miles out on the Pacific side, ten miles outside of Golden Gate and seventeen miles offshore. There they caught 10 Tuna, the largest weighing about thirty five pounds and 1 Dorado of twenty five pounds. The water temperature was eighty four degrees and the ocean was calm. The group that went out on El Nuevo went thirty two miles out on the Pacific and about twenty miles from the shore. They caught 2 Dorado, the largest weighing forty five pounds and 6 Tuna between twenty five and thirty pounds.

Mostly Cortez fishing today
The Franklin group from Texas went out on two of our boats today, the 33’ El Nuevo and 32’ RumRunnin. On Nuevo they caught a twenty five to thirty pound Dorado at 1150 banks of the sea of Cortez and on RumRunnin they caught an eighty pound Tuna in the same spot.
The Thompson group from Los Angeles, San Fancisco, CA and Austin, Texas went out on our 32’ RedBeam with Captain Marcial and Mate Fabian. They hit 95 banks on the Cortez side and hooked up to an easy Dorado around noon weighing about forty pounds. Water temperature was at eighty seven degrees.
The Joubran group from Texas went out on one of our partner boats with Captain Ulises and caught 8 Tuna around fifteen pounds each. The group fished about ten miles from Golden Gate where water temperature was eighty degrees.

Love and Fish
Some people look for their future husband or wife at the grocery store, others in bars like “El Squid Roe” while other’s like Monika and Jeff from San Diego go fishing. Almost fifteen years ago this couple came down to Cabo to fish with friends and they’ve been inseparable since. They have fond memories of Cabo not only because of their romance but because of the great fishing and today was no different. They headed out to Golden Gate on our 28’ ReelRum with captain Americo and mate Juan. Roughly ten miles from shore they hooked up to and caught 4 twenty pound Tuna and 4 twenty five to thirty pound Dorado. After their catch they came back in to let me know how their day went and you could tell from their faces that they had had a great time. When I asked how they were treated by their crew Jeff said: “I’ve been on boats where the crew was just hanging out but these guys were constantly working. They saw stuff that we couldn’t even see”.
Daniel, Jason, Buddy, Kim, Natasha and Kris went out for the second time this week, this time on our 32’ RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Manuel. Ben caught a big Tuna and tried to hook up to a Marlin but they wouldn’t bite. Jason caught onto a eight foot sailfish weighing about eighty pounds which will soon be mounted in his game room next to the Bass he catches on his lakes; tough life.
Mark, Travis, Darin, Melissa, Branwyn and Misty from Texas made it into the office a bit late this morning claiming time change confusion but once they were out on the open water the true reason for sleeping in came out. Fortunately they were in good company with Captain Alex and Mate Ramon on our 33’ El Nuevo. Before coming in this group did a great job at catching a hundred and twenty pound Tuna using a lure on the sea of Cortez about 5 miles from shore. It was a nice forty minute struggle that brought the entire group back to life and we will be seeing them for more action again on Monday.

Fishing after Jimena
Hola Anglers. We got a visit from hurricane Jimena on tuesday and the Marina was closed for two days so we had to go without fishing but we were back at it today. Thankfully Jimena did not reach the strength expected of it on our shore and the Marina and town are doing well and as busy as ever.
Daniel, Jason, Buddy, Kim, Natasha and Kris from Texas went out for their first day of fishing for the week on our 33’ El Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Ramon. The water was calm after Jimena has passed and they headed east to Golden Gate where water temperature was at 82 degrees. There they used lures to catch a twenty pound Dorado and four fifteen to twenty pound Tuna, only six miles from shore.
