Monday's Marlin

Sunny skies, some breeze and a bit hot in the afternoon!

Brian came down with his wife and while she spent a day at the spa, he decided to go fishing. We hit it off well as he wore his Boston Red Sox hat, so of course we automatically like him. For the Yankees fans, we’ll just politely ask you to leave. Brian headed out on ReelRum with Omar and Americo. The strong guy that he is, he was able to reel in and release two striped marlin on his own, all while his wife was getting a massage. Nice work!

Jerry, John and Bill headed out on the RedBeam looking for adventure on the water. They stayed closer to the bay, near the lighthouse area where the marlin were jumping. After pitching more and more bait to the marlin, they couldn’t get them to bite to save their lives. Unfortunately they weren’t hungry and the gang never got one on board, however, they are true fisherman as they know the sport of fishing is fishing not catching.

Billy, Brad and Jerry headed out on their first of 3 days fishing aboard RumRunnin. Loaded with coffee and a cooler of their own filled with beers they were ready for a great day on the water. They made it out to Golden Gate with Javier where the reeled in 2 catch and release stripers. They’ll be out on the water again tomorrow so we’ll see them then!

Steve along with David and Mary joined us from Connecticut. They headed out on a half day trip with Rafa aboard one of our recommended boats Anzuelo II. They headed out to the lighthouse as well, since a half day trip can’t get them out to Golden Gate they hoped to grab a bite there. They fought a nice big dorado for a bit, but couldn’t get the monster on board. They threw bait to a lot of marlin but just couldn’t get them to bite.

Jeff & Erica, as well as Jeff’s parents Donna and Barry from New Jersey hit the water on El Nuevo with Alex. On their first day fishing they headed out to Golden Gate as well, they came upon a bunch of marlin and ended up reeling in 4 of them and releasing those same four. On this boat we can also say that we included their dinner in their charter price, as they reeled in a dorado to take to Misiones de Kino of course, our favorite spot.

We’ll see many of you again tomorrow.

Tight lines. Brooke
