A bit colder...

A big change from yesterday, temperature wise in the waters at Golden Gate, almost a 5 degree drop, making the water temperature around 69 degrees. The RedRum crews noticed a big change there with temp as well as the green color in the water out on the Pacific. There wasn’t nearly as much action today as there was yesterday, however RedRum crews found RedRum clients their fish!

On of our favorite clients who comes to see us for weeks at a times is Dallas along with his friend Greg. This was Dallas’ fourth trip out with RedRum in the last few weeks. With his wife going back to the states, what’s a guy to do but stay in the Baja and fish! They went out with Omar and Ramon on ReelRum and were able to get one catch and release striped marlin as well as 2 mako sharks they released as well. I talked to Omar and Ramon a bit when they got back to the office and said the water was much much colder and not as much action at the surface. Dallas thanks again for coming down to see us! We’ll look forward to seeing you in October after you officially become a first-time grandfather, a big early congratulations there. See you soon.

Dan another one of our repeat customers headed out on El Nuevo with Zach and Mariah. They headed out with Alex and Cesar, along ways away from their home in Montana. Compared to Montana the water wasn’t that cold, but nonetheless it was much colder than yesterday. They fished at Golden Gate, trolling, some bottom fishing as well as pitching live bait and were able to reel in 2 catch and release marlin.

And lucky for us, we were able to track down our buddy Dale who we thought was a no show for yesterday, but actually got his dates confused, so we were able to put him out on RumRunnin today. Dale along with Matt, Blake and Sterling from Coppell, Texas made their way to Golden Gate as well. In a mere windless sky they had their hearts set on some marlin. Although they saw a few and almost hooked up to a few, they couldn’t get one to bite and hold. They did however end up reeling in 2 juvenile mako sharks about 3 feet long. It wasn’t the marlin they were hoping for, but they’ll be back in July so there’s always another chance in fishing… not catching.

The big rig Utopia headed out today as well with a crew from Texas. I’m guessing its spring break in all the Texas schools this week because I have seen nothing but hook ‘em horns shirts, and I mean everywhere! Now this is where I keep my lips sealed as I don’t want anyone to hate when the BIG 12 is talked about, but I am a born and raised Cornhusker, and now a Horned Frog as well, so I’ll just leave it at that. Anywho, this fun bunch headed out with Rene and Luis on Utopia, Kate, Graham, Margot, Emily, Garrett, Logan, David, Nena and Blake. They too noticed the difference in the fishing grounds out at Golden with the colder and greener water. Their hearts were set on marlin as well but came up short. They settled for a nice mako shark and Spanish mackerel.

We’ll see what happens tomorrow on the Lucky St. Patty’s day. We’ll be dining and drinking green beer at Miguel Loco’s where the annual Amigos de Los Ninos St. Patrick’s and fundraiser take place. We are Donovan’s so all of you better be drinking green beer tomorrow too!

Adios! Brooke
