Jan 23-24

Marlin were still going crazy yesterday at Golden Gate while the bite slowed a little today. It would be hard to think that kind of bite would stay as hot as it has been. We'll see though, the Marlin could be all over the place again tomorrow. Tough to say.

Yesterday, the Shultz's aboard ReelRum caught and released 3 Marlin with Omar and Americo. Lonnie Poole and his crew brought in 6 Marlin aboard Rum Runnin with Javier and Manuel and called back to book another day after seeing the amazing action at the Bank. Finally, our friend from Texas and South Africa the Crawfords spent one last day on the water and were able to bring in and release 3 more stripes.

Today, Helmut, Brian and Brent Adam headed back out with the Rum Runnin' crew. They went in search of dinner and came up short, no Dorado to be found. After realizing the bite would be slow for Dorado they went in search of the Marlin. They were able to bring in 1 more for a total of 7 for the 2 days. Good stuff guys, and thanks again for taking us out to dinner. Really enjoyed hosting you guys. Looks like you have Helmut's Cristmas gift picked out for the next few years.

Finally, the Vanzile crew spent today inshore after catching their share of Marlin and Dorado the past few trips. Today they managed to catch about 18 Spanish Mackeral or Sierra as we call them, releasing half and keeping the rest for dinner. They were also able to land 3 Roosterfish. Great meeting you guys and look forward to seeing you guys and a few of your friends from Brewski's next year.

To the crew at Brewski's....

RedRum Sportfishing in Cabo San Lucas wanted to give you guys a special shout out. JC, Philly, Stan, Booby Z, Mike, Amy, and Sam in particular. Your boys down in Cabo, have been killing it the last few days. 5 Marlin and 2 dorado each of the two days they went offshore. And then today they tried a little inshore fishing. 9 Spanish Mackeral and 3 Roosterfish later and we are ready to send these guys home.

Final trip statistics:
4 guys, 8 cases of beer, 5 bottles of booze, 10 Marlin, 4 Dorado, 9 Spanish Mackeral, and 3 Roosterfish, 1 case of Montezuma's Revenge, and finally 1 case of a birthday boy just too tuckered out to even make it to his own birthday dinner. Let's hope the Brewski's crew can give him some proper sh*t for that when he gets back home.

Ahhh hamburgers, love Butters!
