RedRum Report for March 11th

Great day on the water today in sunny (and safe, don't believe everything the media is saying) Cabo San Lucas. After some light showers last night, we had a beautiful day today with the temperature was in the 80's without a cloud in the sky. Water temps stayed the same at about 72-73 degrees. Green-Back Mackeral was once again the preferred bait at the Golden Gate. Marlin, Dorado, Skipjack Tuna and Sierra Mackeral were caught today. Marlin numbers were down because it was a little rough out there and they couldn't chase the fish quite as well as they had the past few days.

Mike Kalzer came down to Cabo but couldn't convince his buddies or his wife to come fishing with him. "No worries, more fish for me," was his mantra this morning. Well that certainly held true throughout the day. After tail-wrapping the first Marlin (which made the fight much tougher) Mike wasn't sure how many more he had left in him. He ended up catching and releasing 4 big striper's before calling it quits. He was still interested in catching something for dinner, so Omar and Americo found a Dorado for him as well. Mike commented that this was the best fishing trip he has ever been on, and couldn't believe the amount of Marlin he saw. Nice meeting and fishing with you Mike.

Jack Laird was a walk-in client that saw all the flags flying for days on end here in the Marina and had to get out on the water. Javier and Manuel hooked them up on a big Marlin that they fought for a long time, eventually hauling it up for a photo. They hooked a few others and also caught and released a Dorado.

Our good buddy Jeff Prince and his wife are down visiting from Las Vegas and they certainly wanted to get out on the water while they were here. The trip was last minute and I was booked solid for today by the time Jeff called. I was able to hook him up on one the boats we recommend when we are full and he had a blast. 2 Marlin and 2 Dorado.

Dean Cushman, unfortunately I don't think a Marlin is in the cards for Dean. He even stated after the trip that he would never do it again. Dean has fished 6 times in Cabo and never caught a Marlin. He was really unpleased with most of the fleets he had gone out with and was hesitant at giving us a shot. We sent him out with Rafa and I told him while I never guarantee fish, this would be the closest I would come to doing so. Why don't I guarantee? Because even with double digit Marlin coming in every day for weeks, you never know what the next day will hold. These guys came back with 1 Spanish Mackeral. We did however put him on the fish. Hooked Dean up on a huge Marlin that he fought for over an hour. After an hour Dean had nothing left and passed the rod to the Mate who also fought the fish for a while. After the mate passed the rod to the Captain, the fish eventually snapped the line. Sounds like they had a monster on. They hooked up one other Marlin, but lost that one as well. We did our best Dean, sorry pal.

Finally some Spring Breakers, Andrew Glazer and his boys from Syracuse University. I was sure these guys would come wondering in an hour late, stinking of Squid Row. I was wrong, these guys were on time and ready to go. I guess they party a little different at Syracuse. All joking aside, these guys had a blast on El Nuevo and caught and released 3 Marlin and 1 Dorado.

Matt and Derek were a couple of guys that had signed up on our share list and we were able to make something happen for them. They went out, accompanied by their wives and had a blast. Each was able to bring in a Marlin and they also caught some Skipjack I believe.
