Stripers and Sharks

Sunny weather and blue skies, why wouldn’t anyone want to be fishing? Despite the breeze, the Pacific side has been calm and boiling with stripers and sharks. Don’t get excited, not strippers boys.

First group to the office this morning is a long time RedRum customer Dallas along with his wife Kathy. We paired them up with another nice couple from North Carolina looking to share a boat. They headed out on the RedBeam to Golden Gate. Each couple came back with a catch and release striper. Dallas and Kathy had their hearts set on dorado, so it looks like they’ll have to head out again (oh bummer) to catch their goal!

Next out was Kathryn and Randy from Annapolis, Maryland. A super nice couple whose friends we met on the Tropical Jazz & Wine cruise a few weeks back. Amidst many cocktails we had good times on board and Roy and his wife were nice enough to recommend RedRum to Kathryn and Randy. By the way if any of you come to Cabo and would like a nice sunset cruise that is free of spring breakers and body shots, I highly recommend the Tropicat Jazz & Wine cruise. It’s top notch with great food, staff and beverages, and not just wine either. Anywho, Randy and Kathy headed out to Golden Gate aboard RumRunnin. Randy was quite a trooper as I think he spent most of his time hurled over the edge of the boat, and Kathy was nice enough to take pictures. Thatta girl, good blackmail someday! In the midst of blowing lunch, they caught and released 3 striped marlin and one baby mako. And despite not feeling well, Randy stayed out there the whole time, not that is a true fishermen!

Returning with us once again is John, Kirby and Lewis. Hailing from Calgary and Victoria they boarded El Nuevo and also headed out to Golden Gate. They caught and released 3 striped marlin in the water of the Pacific. They almost got a dorado on board, and managed to land their mako. Nice job guys, we hope to see you guys back here again!

And last but not least is Erick and Gayla. Now I think Erick owes Gayla a big thanks as she is the one that convinced him to actually go fishing! I love women like that. I think he was on the fence and she pushed him into the arms of Omar and Americo on ReelRum. After their trip they came back to the office and Gayla says, “we had a terrible time, just terrible.” In the background I see Erick’s face filled with smiles and glee. I wasn’t quite sure what to think but figured Gayla was being sarcastic. She continued, “you guys made him reel in 4 striped marlin! He is exhausted and we had to come back early.” And they did, showed up at the office around 1:30. Well that about sums it up, oh and 3 of the stripers were just shy of 200 pounds, not to mention the mako they pulled in as well.

Excellent day for everyone! Have a wonderful rest of the weekend.
