Pobrecita Brookita!

Brooke's not feeling well today, over-worked and still cold from heading to Denver last week, things finally caught up with her. Sniffles and a sore throat, she's a trooper though, she'll be back and randy within a day or two. Just a little shout-out for the patient.

Jay Schmalenberg joined us today on the RedBeam. Jay brought his son and nephew out on the water for the day and they did great. The boys proved to be luckier than Jay however, each bringing in a Marlin while Jay lost 2 others that were hooked up. They also hooked up a nice Dorado for dinner.

Jack Tramuta hopped off the cruise ship at noon and jumped right onto ReelRum with Americo and Ramon. Without the necessary time to run all the way to Golden Gate, the boys fished about 4 miles off the point and had great success. Jack had always wanted to catch a Marlin and has been trying unsuccessfully for years. 30 minutes into his charter with RedRum and he was hooked up. He also brought in 3 Dorado shortly thereafter. Unfortunately for Jack (but very fortunately for the staff here at RedRum) you are not allowed to take fish back onto the cruise ship. Jack, I shall toast to you this evening, thanks for the Dorado filets.

Finally, we had the Anders party out for their final day of fishing with Javier and Manuel on Rum Runnin. While they were looking for a few more Marlin and something for dinner, it looks like cheeseburgers again. They caught and released 1 Marlin and another died during the battle, having been foul-hooked. Javier and Manuel assured the clients they would be happy to have the Marlin for dinner, so it surely did not go to waste.

Another great day.

Get well soon Brookita,
Ryan
