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!
