24 Miles out, 24 beers in a case, coincedence?

The RedRum boys once again found the fish, they were a ways out there, but we found them. With warmer water out 20 miles towards the Sea of Cortez, folks had a bit of ride before we got them on the fish. Still an abundance of squid in the water, candy for the fish. Nearly every Dorado belly has had squid in it over the past week or so.

Paul Mattingly, unfortunately was the unlucky angler today. Heading out with Omar and Americo, which is usually a good sign, was not super successful today. While they saw fish, and had some action, they couldn't get anything to stay on long enough to bring it to the boat.

Greg Trefethen, our east coast buddy, headed out one more time today(had to get one more day in.) Today's trip was an anniversary present from his wife. Congrats on 47 years guys. Greg got all he could handle panga fishing inshore. He caught 10 nice Yellowtail, keeping his limit and giving the meat to both the RedRum office staff and the crew. (Didn't I just talk about this yesterday?) Congrats on a great day, Greg,

Eric and Karen McKay headed out for a half-day adventure with Marshall on the RedBeam and it seemed like the fish started biting just as their half-day was coming to an end. They were able to land one nice Dorado and battle a Shark before they headed back to the Marina.

Laura and Charles Meyers, my dad's neighbors in California, and their friends James and David Cloonan, Randy Beasley and Jerry Banning were lucky enough to head out with Alex and Ramon on El Nuevo. While they too headed for the warm water and the Dorado that have been roaming the area, they were lucky enough to catch and release 2 Marlin. Congrats and thanks for coming down to visit us.

Finally, on Rum Runnin we had Steve Hanson and his crew of David, Mark and Ryan. Looks like each of the guys got to pull on a fish as Javier and Manuel were able to hook them up with One Marlin and Three Dorado. Dorado for dinner, always tasty!
