Monday March 23rd

The seas were calm out on the Sea of Cortez today with some overcast clouds.

First boat back was the half day charter aboard our partner boat Anzuelo II with Captain Rafa. Mark along with wife Jane and daughter Margaux and friend Alex had a great time on the water. They spoke of seeing lots of whales, porpoise, and some marlin passing by. They reeled in a mako shark, about a 6 footer right from the start. They also got into some squid as well, reeling in 3 of those monsters. One of the girls had a nice dorado on line for a while but couldn’t get it on board, but gave it a good fight. So great to meet you guys and look forward to seeing some pictures!

Alan and Katie come from my hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska, they are family of my dear friend Nichol who I grew up with. And actually the first time I came to Cabo was with her family back in 1994! Anywho, they headed out with Omar and Americo aboard ReelRum. They had a bit of a slower day compared to the other RedRum boats on the water but were able to reel in 2 skipjack tunas. Sorry I couldn’t get more fish to bite for you guys.

Also out again on the water today was Joe Assenza, our buddy who joined up to help the local soccer kids program called MundoStar. He booked a Stay & Play package and is staying in the Portofino Condos. He headed out on RumRunnin today with Javier and Mickey. The first did a bit of fishing right near the Arch and got into some sierra, about 4 total. They then headed out to the Sea of Cortez, where they reeled in one dorado, which they’ll be taking to Misiones de Kino for dinner. They also reeled in one stripped marlin while out there, but unfortunately it didn’t make it in the fight. We look forward to seeing you guys back again.

Douglas and Roger headed out on the RedBeam. They are visiting us from Wisconsin and California. These two brother-in-laws had a great day on the water while the sister they married relaxed by the pool. They had a great time with Marcial and along with other boats saw tons of marine life. Anything from jumping sting rays to porpoise to even some marlin at the Sea of Cortez. They ended up with 3 dorado as well as one catch and release marlin. They gave some dorado to the crew and will take the rest to dinner at Misiones de Kino this evening.

El Nuevo headed out with Rick coming in from the NCL Star Cruise Ship. They didn’t depart until about 11:00 and headed out to the Sea of Cortez. Out with Alex, this group from Idaho also saw quite a bit of action on the water. They reeled in 4 dorado in their short half day trip! Very well done guys! Please send us some pictures.

Thanks for checking in with us!
