Windy on the Pacific today....

Early morning wind made for a choppy start to the fishing today. At 5am the Palm trees in the Marina were buckling over. By 6am the wind had calmed down a bit, but still causing quite a stir on the water. I was fearful we would have a lot of folks turning around early, not being able to stomach the weather. Well several boats had casualties, but none turned around early. Had some troopers out there today. Striped Marlin, Tuna, and Dorado were caught today.

Jared and Maria Orzolek, our good friends from Ohio were back in town and took out there folks to show them what RedRum is all about. Jared wanted to catch Marlin, Allan wanted Dorado. They both came back happy, 2 Dorado and a Marlin.

Tim, Todd, and Jim are brothers who fish every year at different spots around the US and now Mexico. They had a great day on the water with Javier and Manuel, wanting to book a second day if they were available, they were not unfortunately but they may head out on another boat. They really liked getting to know Javier and Manuel and had a blast fishing with them. They were lucky enough to grab 2 Marlin, plus they got a nice Dorado for dinner.

Tom and Chris Neal came into the office asking about fishing and decided they had to give it a try. Tom really wanted to catch a Marlin, which just happens to be our specialty. Chris was certainly one of the casualties today as she was really feeling the weather. Certainly a trooper though as they stayed out the whole day. We were able to hook 2 Marlin for them, but unfortunately they both got off. Hopefully your next trip with us will be a bit smoother.

David and Dawn Naples along with their friends Eric Norskog and Jackie Scroggs spent the day on the RedBeam. Unfortunately, they didn't get a Marlin in the boat for pictures, but they were able to land a nice Dorado. Enjoy dinner.

Mike Kalzer and his family are visiting from Canada and decided to spend a day on the water SportFishing. They had a great day as well, catching and releasing 2 Marlin and catching 2 Dorado. They were last seen at Mango Deck with some Fish Tacos and Beverages. Nothing better than fish tacos two hours after catching the fish. Apparently, someone (maybe Mike's daughter?) had a little too much fun last night and felt a little under the weather on the boat today. Hope you are feeling better.

Our good buddy Dallas Strube has some guests in town and wanted to show them a great day on the water. Alex and Dallas played host to David, Tricia and Greg and they had a great day. David remarked a few days ago that he wanted to catch Marlin until he puked. That may have been a bit of foreshadowing!! They finished the day with 3 catch and release Marlin and 1 nice Dorado.

Rounding out the group is DJ and my good buddy Forrest. Forrest and his pals were down for his wedding (congrats and good luck) and went out on Saturday and had a great day. Forrest mentioned after, that he would love to get out again if we could find him someone to share the boat with. Having caught a few Marlin on Saturday, he was interested in Dorado, but down for whatever as long as he was on the water. We were able to hook him up with DJ another single that really wanted to fish. Looks like these guys made fast friends on the water and had a lot of fun together. DJ admitted that the first two hours were rough, literally, and he was feeling it. Once the action started though, he felt fine. These guys had an awesome day, catching 2 Dorado, 2 TUNA, and a huge 180lb Striped Marlin (Dj's first ever.) Great meeting you guys, send in the photos and keep in touch.

Full house tomorrow as well. Talk to you then.
