Big Tuna still out there....

Marshall hosted some friends from John Hennigin's Fish Talk Radio today and they were in search of Tuna and Dorado. They caught one Dorado before finding a school of Tuna feeding on the surface. Once they got to the fish, they had a double hook-up for a short time, before losing one of the fish. The one that "didn't get away" was a nice 40-45lb Yellowfin. Sounds like some nice steaks for the BBQ at Hennigin's condo.

Manuel and Javier fished with John and Charlene Heather, Keith and Michelle McDonald, and Dominic and Tina Burke, all down from Washington. The ladies were able to keep from getting sick, which I know they were worried about, in part because of the perfectly calm waters today, and in part from the fish they were catching. They headed offshore first thing and got the big Striped Marlin catch and release out of the way. Next, while trolling back towards shore they landed a nice Dorado. And, finally, while doing some inshore fishing they caught a nice Grouper and a Triggerfish varietal. Great day guys, be sure to send us some pics so we can get them up on the web.

Finally, on El Nuevo, we had a long time RedRum client and VIP, Mr. John Heitkamp and his two buddies Clint and Virgil. John has been fishing with RedRum for over 10 years and can even remember far enough back to a time when our fleet manager George actually got on a boat from time to time as Captain of the original 31' Bertram RedRum. The guys spotted a ton of fish, and were able to catch and release one Marlin and also landing a nice sized Dorado. Thanks for coming back to see us John, and give a call to John Donovan next time you are up in San Marcos.

Thanks,
Ryan
