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.
