Along the shore at Golden Gate...

Another beautiful day in Cabo, with a light breeze just enough to keep you cool in the 85 degree temp. Russel and Adri from Austin stopped in yesterday inquiring about going fishing and, thanks to Rafa and his good looking boat Anzuelo II, we got them on board this morning. Russel said he had seen us on ESPN, which has been awhile ago, so good memory! What a rare day for them it was up in Golden Gate, they had 10 giant squids and 3 mako sharks. They didn’t get the marlin they wanted, but boy did they have a busy day on the water.

Kendell, Manuel, Eldon and Joseph the fabulous four some headed out with Alex on El Nuevo. They had a great day on the water reeling in 8 dorado, plenty from them to take to Misiones de Kino this evening.

We were able to hook up 2 eager fishermen looking to share a boat today. They hopped aboard ReelRum. Russ, who has fished with RedRum many times before with the TripAdvisor Tournament joined up with Chris a.k.a. Thumper, from Alaska who arrived into Cabo last night. Omar and Ramon took them to the Pacific side up near golden gate but along the shore line, they reeled in 4 dorado. Heading out to dinner as newly found friends they are taking their catch to Soloman’s Landing, who cooks up a wicked caper/basil/soy sashimi. Yummmm!

Next were the guys John and I had met in the Denver show, Derek, Cody and Kurt. They headed out on the RedBeam this morning, and not too far after they headed out Marcial realized they needed to turn around due to some engine issues. They were good sports about it and we put them aboard another boat. As many of you boat owners know, no matter how well you keep your boat maintained, every once in a while something like this can happen. We thank you guys for being cool about the situation. And they came out on top with quite a day, one catch and release marlin, 1 mako shark, 5 dorado and 1 yellow fin tuna. Nice job guys and thanks for understanding that boats are boats.

RedRum then hosted the newly married Mr. and Mrs. Trigg down in Caboo on their honeymoon. They were aboard RumRunnin with Javier and Manuel. The newlyweds hit it big with 2 catch and release marlin and 2 dorado! They bought some shirts for proof!

And last but not least is the crew headed to the finger banks this morning. Three, 54’ Hatteras’ headed out, Utopia, Spartacus, and Blue Thunder. All aboard was the Culler group including Ricky, William, Charles, Eric, Thomas Jr., Thomas Sr., Benjamin, Keith and Brian. They booked a Stay & Play package through RedRum at the Portofino condos, and as part of their stay they wanted to stay over night at the finger banks and get 2 full days of fishing in there. Ryan headed out as a second mate on Utopia along with Americo as first mate and Rene as Captain. They departed at about 7:30 this morning to get to the grounds. We’ll have a full report of how they did today and tomorrow when they get back. Communication at this point is non-existent, I’m guessing they’ll get back around 7:00 tomorrow evening.

I guess with my husband out of town, I’m going to tie one on tonight! Oh wait, I have to get up at 5:30 tomorrow morning, I guess dinner and wine with friends will work.

We’ll keep you posted!
