Roosters and Yellowtail

Anthony went out for the second time this week on our 28’ ReelRum with Captain Omar and mate Americo. After catching his first Marlin yesterday, Anthony was ready for some Roosterfish. They headed out on the sea of Cortez where the water temperature was at 73 degrees and caught and released 5 Roosterfish and 1 Jack using live bait. Both Roosters weighed ten to fifteen pound.

Jack and Cheryl went out for their second time this week as well but this time on our 32’ RumRunnin with Javier and Manuel. They decided to focus on inshore fishing today and headed out on the Pacific side where the water was at 61 degrees. Using black and green Rappala lures, Jack and Cheryl caught 8 Yellowtail between ten to twenty pounds about a third of a mile from the shoreline.

TUESDAY MAY 19th

Steve and Judy from New Jersey went out on our 28’ ReelRum with Omar and Americo and caught their first Marlin ever. The Stivaly’s have mostly fished in the East Coast and were excited to have caught and released 2 Marlin and a Yellowtail that they enjoyed for dinner at Missiones de Kino. The first Marlin came in as 101 inches and the second at 106 inches. Judy got a blister from the fight but said it was well worth it.

Out on our 32’ Beam were Jack and Cheryl from California and our friend Matt that lives in Cabo. Matt took some time between spinning at local Buddha lounge to fish with us for his first time ever and got plenty on action out on the water. Jack and Cheryl are down for two weeks and will be fishing with us several days. With the help of Marcial and Fabian, the new friends caught and released 3 Marlin in the 140-180 pound range and a Dorado for dinner. Matt learned that sunblock is essential when fishing in Cabo San Lucas in May.

The Montvilles went out with Javier and Manuel on our 32’ RumRunnin. Heading out on the sea of Cortez they caught and released 4 Marlin.

Brad fished on our 33’ El Nuevo with Alex and Fabian and caught and released 2 Marlin.


WEDNESDAY MAY 20th

THURSDAY MAY 21st

Anthony and Dawn from fished on our 28’ ReelRum with Captain Omar and mate Americo. They went looking for Marlin as Anthony has had lots of experience catching sails and Dorado in Florida where they live. There were no bananas on board and a nine foot Marlin they caught. There were plenty of others jumping by the boat, teasing poor Anthony but he’s back for more today and we’re cheering him on.

It’s always great when anglers arrive with a sense of humor in the early morning and the McDivitt’s had plenty. Vacationing with their two teenage daughters and their boyfriends, the McDivitt’s went out on our 32’ Rum Runnin with Javier and Manuel. They caught 4 Yellowtail which they enjoyed for dinner at Misiones de Kino.
Return trip w us, looking forward to seeing them again next year
