Bye to 2009 fishies and hello 2010 big ones

Eric couldn’t wake his five friends up after their long night but that didn’t mean he wasn’t going to fish. Omar took him out on our 33’ El Nuevo and they caught 4 Dorado between twenty and twenty five pounds.

Scott and Kristin from Utah went out on our 32’ RedBeam with Captain Cesar. They caught and released a Striped Marlin and caught 4 Dorado.

Jake, Zach and Michael arrived this morning on the Radiance of the Seas and spent their morning fishing with Captain Javier on our 32’ RumRunnin. They fished Los Arcos about a mile from shore and caught 4 Dorado weighing up to twenty pounds.

Lukas and mom Elke decided to fish one more time before they head back to Austria. They fished 6 days last week with Javier and today fished on our 28’ Tantrum with Ramon. They fished Los Arcos about five miles from shore and caught and released a hundred and thirty pound Striped Marlin and 2 twenty pound Dorado. Not a bad way to end the year.

Near the End, Still Lots of Fish!

Another sunny day here in Cabo San Lucas, not a cloud in the sky from my post here at the office.

Just a side note, the TCU Horned Frogs football team have arrived in Phoenix and are ready to dominate on January 4th at the Fiesta Bowl. If you don't know what to wear on Monday, we suggest wearing purple in support of your TCU friends at RedRum Sportfishing. Go Frogs!

Happy clients with lots of fish getting ready to ring in the New Year down in Cabo had another great day on the water.

The Haut and Kessler party from Livingston & Gladstone, New Jersey were on board El Nuevo today. The first thought was to go to Jaime Bank to see what was out there. Nothing. Omar and Americo decided to head out to Golden where a solid Dorado bite has been. Sure enough, 3 Dorado later they were good to go!

Two buddies, Jim and Mike from the Phoenix area headed out with Chivo and Jesus on RumRunnin. They went past Golden Gate to an area called Gaspareno (pronounced: Gas-par-ain-yo) where they got into some Dorado on some feathers. They reeled in a total of 6 Dorado and one 20lb. Wahoo. They were generous and gave half the crew their catch!

Mike Tucci was out on the water again this time aboard Tantrum. With Captain Ramon, he was able to reel in 1 catch and release Striped Marlin and 1 Dorado at Los Arcos.

Aboard RedBeam was the Robinson family. A nice couple with their two twin girls from Burbank, California. They reeled in 8 Dorado and lost 4 in the fight. The action was intense out there as they said they had about 7-8 other hits on the line out at Migrino. Their two twin daughters did a great job on the rod! And, I'll have you know they are two quite famous little girls. For all you Dexter fans out there on Showtime, Christina is the daughter of Dexter on the show! Courtney has quite an acting resume as well. Thanks for fishing with us!

Jim & Zac Wittman along with George Liss from Michigan and New Hampshire headed out on our partner boat Anzuelo II today. They were happy with their catch of 5 Dorado which filled up their cooler they'll be taking back home with them. They almost had 8, with the 3 they lost in the fight. Asi es fishing amigos!

Hope everyone is getting excited for the New Year!

Thanks for reading on your holiday.

Sunny Skies, Lots O' Fish

Well after a rain soaked yesterday, all is back to normal in sunny Cabo San Lucas.

The Allen Crew headed out for more again today with Chivo and Jesus aboard RumRunnin. They couldn't say enough great things about the crew and what a fun time they had with those two. They reeled in 3 Dorado of around 30 lbs each and saw lots of Marlin in the area but couldn't get one to bite. They were happy with their Dorado catch and headed over to Mango Cantina for some fish tacos after their day on the water!

The John Duo, John Russell and John Gallops from out east headed out on Tantrum. They reeled in 2 nice sized Dorado and 1 Striped Marlin about 110 pounds.

The Meyer party, getting out of the cold snowy weather in Nebraska (which is where I'm from!) was glad to be in Cabo as their friends and relatives scooped 12 inches of snow off their drives in Omaha. Jessica, Nancy, Bill, Steve, J.R., and Erica all had a great time on the RedBeam. They were ecstatic to bring in their 4 Dorado, which they'll be feasting on at Misiones de Kino this evening for dinner. Oh, and they almost had a Striper to the boat but it got away and snapped the line.

The Schwartz and Reynolds from New Jersey are also glad to be out of the cold I'm sure. They joined Capt. Omar and Mate Americo who are the temporary crew on El Nuevo while Alex and Manuel are enjoying their holiday. Heading out to Los Arcos and Margarita they saw a lot of whales and reeled in 6 Dorado!

Our partner boat Grey Light also headed out for a quick half day trip. It turned out great for Brent, Rick, William and Brook on board from California. They headed all the way out to the Lighthouse reeling in 3 Dorado, losing 4 in the fight, and one 120-130 pound striper which they released. Not bad for a 5 hour day.

Hope you are all staying warm and gearing up for a great 2010!!

Rain Rain Go AWAY!

Well what started as a slightly overcast morning turned into a whole day of rain. You can bet that the mall, bars and massage places are packed while the beaches are vacant. Can you believe it? After a bright sunny day yesterday to this. But this didn't affect the crews of RedRum at all on the water today.

El Nuevo headed out with Matt Rudolph and Adrian Tonge coming from Neenah, Wisconsin and Alanta, Georgia respectively. Omar took El Nuevo out today as the ususal Capt. Alex is enjoying his holiday with family. They nailed it by reeling in 8 nice Dorado. Well done guys!

All aboard Tantrum was Dennis Sundberg, Justin Pearson, Mike Pearson and Eric Mooberry. Hailing from Huntington Beach & Chino, California to Castle Rock, Colorado. They had a fun day on the water with plenty of fish to cook up for dinner. Captain Ramon said the temperature of the water is about 79 degrees and the rain didn't affect the catch. Although it was a bit chilly with the rain out at Golden Gate these guys reeled in 6 Dorado about 25 lbs. each on some small lures.

Ulysses the wonderful captain of Grey Light, the partner boat we use frequently, headed out today with Mike Tucci on board. Flying solo from Rye, New York, Mike had his work cut out for him reeling in 6 Dorado and 1 catch and release Striped Marlin all on his own! He'll be back on the water on Wednesday for more action.

The Allens, John, Dan, Bob, Scott and Kent from Florida headed out with Javier on RumRummin. They fished about 5 miles from shore at Margarita reeling in 4 Dorado and 2 catch and release Striped Marlin on dead bait. Their biggest Dorado weighing around 25-27 lbs.

Chris Mason and Alexis Ross from Dallas enjoyed a fun day on the RedBeam. Captain Cesar got them on a variety of fish with 2 Dorado and 2 Tuna. Not bad for a rainy day!

And last but not least is Pescado III. All aboard was Joe Hines, Sarah Hines, Tyler Hendrickson, Taylor Hines, Janet Hines and Max Hendrickson joining us from Minnesota and Colorado. They reeled in 5 Dorado and 1 catch and release Striped Marlin.

Well done crews, hoping for sunny skies tomorrow!
Brooke

BTW: It's been raining consistently since 11 am here in Cabo and I'm writing this at 3:30, no stop of rain yet. Cabo is going to be greeen!

Monday...

Darrell Breeze and his boys are down from Montana for the holidays and joined us for a day aboard the RedBeam. Levi, Adam and Beau were busy out on the Pacific side, catching 4 Dorado and 3 catch and release Marlin. Looks like the Breeze family will be enjoying a nice Christmas dinner with their Dorado filets.

Jace and Melanie Horton along with their son Tate, all from Frisco, Texas enjoyed a half-day with the guys on TantRum. Tate's just a little guy, but he battled and bested an nice Dorado while Dad and Mom caught 2 more and caught and released a nice Striped Marlin.

Ralph Hartman and his wife Nan, enjoyed their second of two days on the water, as part of our Play and Stay Package. After getting their Marlin on day one, they were ready to fill the coolers and Omar thought they had the best shot with Dorado. They headed an hour north on the Pacific side and really got into the Dorado landing 11 for the day.

Lucas and Elke Folk all the way from Austria are here in Cabo with one thing in mind, Marlin. Lucas planned this trip about six months ago, and while here for a week, they are fishing 6 days with Javier on Rum Runnin. Day One went very well, with 2 Catch and Release Marlin, 1 Dorado and 2 Skipjack Tuna.

Sunday fishing....

Fishing has been great as of late, and while the Marlin have been showing up in better numbers the last few weeks, the Dorado seemed to have returned as well. The guys have been primarily fishing the Pacific side, from the Lighthouse to Los Arcos and up into the Golden Gate area as well. Some days the Marlin are chasing bait on the surface, other days we are having to use the Lowrance Sonar's to find bait down deep.

Sam Chung, Kyung Cho, Sung Cho, and Kate Oh all from Chula Vista, California joined us for a day on the TantRum on Sunday. Serious Chargers fans, we had to get out and get hooked up and get back to the Marina in time for the 2pm kickoff. Everything went according to plan, and Sam's crew caught and released a Striped Marlin, caught a Yellowfin Tuna, and also caught 2 nice Mahi Mahi that they enjoyed at Mango Cantina while watching the game.

Mike Metz and his three kids, Grace, Austen and Casey from the Scottsdale area joined us for a day aboard the RedBeam. Austen and Casey are experienced saltwater fishermen, but it was Grace that we needed to get a Marlin. The Metz's had a quick start followed by a few slow hours, but the guys stuck with it and they finished with 2 Marlin and a Dorado. Congratulations to Grace, who caught and released her first Striped Marlin in under 20 minutes!!!

Pam and Everett Johnson from Texas Salwater Fishing Magazine were out on El Nuevo RedRum today for their second of two days. While things weren't quite as busy as day one, they did catch and release another 2 Marlin. Pam and Everett had great things to say about Captain Omar when they got back and said they were looking forward to doing a nice write up in their magazine about the trip. Look for the article in an upcoming edition of Texas Saltwater Fishing Magazine.

John and Nancy Baumgartner from South Bend, Indiana are great people and have some great friends back home. John and Nancy were treated to a two day fishing adventure here in Cabo by their good friend Don back home. Today they fished with Rum Runnin and caught 4 Dorado and 2 Striped Marlin.

Slow but still catching!

Fishing was a bit slow today. Guess the fish are watching their figures after all that eat’n on Thanksgiving. Nevertheless, all our boats caught something.

John, Elise, Bill and Jeanne from Missouri and Illinois stopped by our office yesterday afternoon looking to book a last minute charter. All our boats were booked but they trusted us to select an awesome partner boat and they were not disappointed. Captain Salvador took them out on his 28’ and they caught 5 Dorado weighing between twenty and thirty five pounds on the sea of Cortez, eight miles from shore. It was their first time deep sea fishing and they enjoyed themselves so much they decided to come back tomorrow to fish some more!

Were we mistaken? Or are the Marlin really here?

I, for one, was on pins and needles today. Have the Striped Marlin really arrived in the crazy numbers that we saw last year or was yesterday an anomoly?

It's true, they are back, who knows for how long, but they are here folks.

Jeffrey and Patti Kaser were on board Rum Runnin again today for their second charter and they got to experience some great action today. Jeff and Patti played host to their friends Bill and Barb Taylor today, and everyone was able to get in on the action. Captain Javier was all over the fish today bringing in 6 catch and release Marlin, 9 Sierra and 1 Dorado.

Rich and Marianne Walz along with Greg and Jennifer Burke all from New York joined us for a day on the water aboard RedBeam today. While Cesar wasn't able to entice as many Marlin into taking bait as some of the other guys today, the Walz's and Burke's had a very successful day on the water, as they finished with 2 catch and release Marlin and 2 Dorado.

Lou Wheeler from Sacramento, California was fishing by himself today aboard TantRum with Ramon and Juan and they had a great day on the water. I think Lou could have used another body to help with the Marlin today, but he was able to bring in 3 catch and release Marlin by himself while also catching a Dorado.

They Bryant brothers, Nathan, Matt, Dennis and Tim along with John Biro and Bill Bell finished up their second day on the water with us today aboard El Nuevo. Captain Alex, who is off for Christmans vacation starting tomorrow was eager to get out on the water for what will be his final day of the year today. Alex finished off a great year with one of his best days, hooking the guys up with 3 Dorado and 6 catch and release Striped Marlin. As with all of our guys, Alex works very very hard day in and day out, 8-10 hours a day making sure our clients have every opportunity to catch fish. Special thanks to our crews who make it all happen out on the water.

Sunday Session...THEY HAVE ARRIVED!!!!

Today was the day everyone, the Marlin have finally arrived. While they are a bit late, we are more than happy to welcome the Striped Marlin to Cabo San Lucas. Sure we have been catching, 1 or 2 per day on some boats, maybe a day here and there with 3 or even 4 but nothing like this time last year when we were getting 6,8 and even 12 Marlin some days. Late October 2008 we saw a huge congregation of Striped Marlin make their way to Cabo, following an even bigger congregation of bait. Well they might be over a month late, but they have arrived. (Just as we suspected they would.)

Andrew Micalizzi and Felipe Benedict are down from New Jersey, after meeting John Donovan at the Atlantic City Boat Show last year. John told them all about RedRum and the phenominal Striped Marlin fishing we were enjoying at the time. The guys were all for it and wanted to come down and fish with RedRum. Day one, as you may have read, the guys limited out on Dorado and had a great day with Alex and Manuel aboard El Nuevo RedRum. After getting the Dorado out of the way, today it was time for some Marlin. I was talking to the guys in the morning and telling them that any day, the Marlin could arrive and make things crazy out there. Well any day was today. When the boat pulled back into the Marina they had the Blue and Red flags flying, with an amazing 9 Striped Marlin Catch and Releases, and 2 Dorado for a little icing on top. They guys were absolutely amazed with what they witnessed out there. Bait balls and boats, Marlin all over the place, everyone jockeying for position. Pure chaos, somewhat organized. The guys had a few double hook-ups throughout the day, and said that there wasn't a 10 minute lull in the action all day. Congrats on your first...second, third and fourth Marlin.

Scott Briles and Katie Kenney from Oceanside, California were the other lucky ones to be out on the water today for the "changing of the guard," so to speak. Scott and Katie each got a Striped Marlin catch and release and then decided to switch their focus to Dorado. Captain Ramon was as excited as anyone to see the Marlin arrive in great numbers, but when the client wants to catch something else, he understands who is in charge. Scott and Katie finished up with 2 Striped Marlin and 6 Dorado.

Dorado Saturday

Nathan, Dennis, John, Buir, Matt and Tim went out on our 33’ El Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel. They fished Golden Gate, two to three miles from shore and caught 8 Dorado weighing between twenty five and thirty pounds.

Andrew and Felipe from New Jersey went out on our 28’ Tantrum with Captain Ramon and Mate Juan. They caught 6 twenty pound Dorado by 9am and went looking for Marlin. They found plenty and fought one but it eventually was lost. No worries, these guys are going out again tomorrow.

Ron and friends came off of their cruise ship this morning and went out on our 32’ RumRunnin with Captain Javier for a half day charter. They caught a nice big Dorado.

Hi - It's in the mid-fifties here in New Hampshire which isn't bad for this time of year. My husband and I wanted to thank you for our terrific fishing charter on November 18. Our Captain and his mate, Juan were TERRIFIC! They say the night life in Cabo is wild, but it's nothing compared to the marine life we saw on the water! Whales, dolphins and more! I am attaching a couple of pictures of the Dorado that my husband snagged! Marlin are still waiting for us so we'll be back!Karen & Scott Pollock, New Hampshire

Killer airfare right now...

If you are ready to get down here and take advantage of the fabulous fishing right now, here is a bit of an incentive. US Airways has some killer deals right now for the month of December if you book by next monday. You can find the fares by looking at the e-saver section of their website.

$108 each way from DFW, San Diego, Sacramento, Oakland, San Jose and Seattle
$95 each way from San Francisco.
$85 from Vegas.
$75 from Los Angeles.

On top of the airfare, for the first 5 people that book one of these deals and books 2 days of fishing with us, I will give you a 3rd day of fishing free.

*Some restrictions will apply.

Playing Catch(up)

Let's try to get you guys caught up on the latest and greatest in and around Cabo waters the past few days. First of all, my theory that everything is happening a month late this year is really proving itself. It is December and we still are seeing Big Big Marlin being caught. We had a Blue that was in the 300-400lb range this week and a local boat caught a whopper over 800lbs the other day. We are seeing more and more Marlin every day, and as soon as the candy (mackeral) arrive the Striped Marlin frenzy will be back on. Those of you that heard about, or got the chance to fish Cabo last year in November and December will have your shot again this year. I have a feeling it is going to be late December, January and Febuary though. We are just now seeing the water temps cool down and bit, and this could be a great indicator of the fantastic Billfishing to come.

Ed Dodds and his crew from Delaware were down for a few days of fun and relaxation, escaping the winter of the northeast and spent two days with us on the water. Day 1 the guys fished with Kilito and Cesar aboard the RedBeam and had a blast. They got the Marlin to bite and were able to catch and release 3 nice Stripers. The crew also put them on the Dorado, of which they also got 3. Day 2 the guys fished with Ramon and Manuel aboard El Nuevo RedRum and while they didn't have the same success as day 1, but they did land a few Mahi's.

Hugh and Shara-Lynne from Lloydminster, Alberta Canada fished aboard El Nuevo on Sunday and had a heck of a day. We are really getting in to a great time of year with the mixed bag that is out there right now. 3-4 species in a day is not uncommon right now and that is a ton of fun for anglers. Shara and Hugh witnessed this first hand with a 9ft Striped Marlin release, a boated Wahoo that went close to 60lbs and 3 Dorado. Killer day guys, we are stoked for you.

Robert and Kindra Ross from Framingham, Massachusetts are down in Cabo for a week and are spending 3 days on the water with us. Robert has been getting a workout on the water, each day coming back and claiming that his arms were burning. I imagine they are, many people forget about all the muscles you use when fighting a Marlin and also forget that they haven't used those muscles in a while. Robert has caught and released 4 Marlin over the first two days and a bunch of Dorado as well. Maybe some Tuna or Wahoo on day 3 guys?

Jeff and Patti Kaser enjoyed their first of two days on the water yesterday with Captain Javier aboard Rum Runnin. After catching and releasing a Marlin, Javier was able to find the Dorado for Jeff and Patti as well. The Kaser's will be back on the 7th for their second day and may find that things look a little different on Rum Runnin. This morning we pulled her out of the water to apply a fresh coat of bottom paint and touch up a few spots where Marlin bills had done a number on the gelcoat. You have to remember, these boats take a beating down here, fishing as hard as we do, as many days a year as we do. That being said, we always do our best to keep everything in as best shape as possible.

-Ryan
