January 28th -- More Stripers!

Now I should start by saying that, yes I'm new to writing the fish report and although I won the spelling bee in 3rd grade, I tend to misspell a number of words from time to time.

As was brought to my attention yesterday, by our dear friend Louie, I've been calling what has been caught on our boats, strippers. Now this is where I pause, clearly all of you must have been getting a chuckle because we don't catch strippers in Cabo unless you are at Mermaid's or Lord Black, am I right? Based on my reports did some of you mistakenly imagine that by fishing with RedRum, magically a pole dancer would appear at the end of your rod? No pun intended. Sorry for the high hopes guys. I'm sure some of you have noticed this, but haven't said anything, thanks for being polite. So my apologies, we haven't been catching strippers, we've been catching stripers, meaning striped marlin. Which brings me to today...

Again heading out to Golden Gate is Andy and his lovely wife aboard ReelRum with Omar and Americo. The midwestern pair got out of the cold of Illinois and came down to Cabo for some nice weather. The 3 striped marlin they reeled in put up a fight.

The second crew that headed out was Diane and Chuck with Javier on RumRunnin. They too hit Golden Gate and had some success with the stipers. Reeling in 3 total it has been a wonderful vacation after purchasing a time share over at Villa Del Arco. We look forward to seeing you guys from years to come!

Signing out... Brooke
Long live stripers!
