"The Marlin are Boiling Out There!"

Another warm day in Feb down in Cabo. Completely clear skies and sweaty bodies coming off the boats, mostly from the sun but also from some intense waters boiling with striped marlin and hard work to reel them in.

It was a day of lots of testosterone on the RedRum office, lots of groups of guys down for a good time ole time fishing in Cabo.

Jeremy and pal Randy from Kentucky had one request on the boat, to be able to fly their Kentucky flag. That wasn’t the only flag they had flying aboard ReelRum today. They had 6 marlin flags, 6 release flags and 3 mako sharks that made it to the boat for pictures. This pair was full smiles and fully exhausted after working on reeling those catches in. Nice to meet you two, and we look forward to seeing the pictures!

Andy, Thomas and Steve getting out of the cold in New York couldn’t really complain about the 90 degree weather sweeping through the Baja right now. Considering everyone back east would trade them any day to be on the water instead of scrapping snow and ice! They headed out on RumRunnin with Chivo and Manuel to Golden Gate where they said the water was boiling with marlin. They caught 3 catch and release striped marlin and 2 dorado. The 3 of them will be feasting on their catch at Misiones de Kino this evening.

Joe T, who has been fishing with RedRum for years, came down with Mark, Raymon and Eric from Michigan and Nevada. They are all very familiar with the waters in Baja and couldn’t believe how crazy the marlin were swirling at the surface today. They said they didn’t even have to troll, just threw live bait and in they came. They had 10 total stripers hooked up, but only 8 of them made it to the boat, catching a releasing all of them of course. This crew heads out again in March, so we’ll see you guys back in a few days!

The DeBaca’s coming down from California who have fished the waters of Cabo many times, usually with Picante. They were looking for something different and with all of our RedRum boats booked up I showed them the shining 31’ Shamrock called Grey Light, one of our partner boats. With a great crew on board, Ulisses and Francisco they had a wonderful day out at Golden Gate. It’s no surprise that they too caught marlin, 5 stripers to be exact. We hope to see you guys back again fishing with RedRum.
