Tuesday report from Cabo San Lucas

Another great day on and off the water in Cabo San Lucas, while the water temps are in the high 70's, the air temps are in the high 80's right now. Marlin have been close to the Marina and have been seen in high numbers. The problem is getting them to bite. They have been very active chasing pitch baits, but getting hooked up has been tougher to come by. However, just because it is tough, doesn't mean our crews can't do it.

Chris Cordova and Richard Snell, as you may remember if you have been staying up with the reports, had a problem with the aftercooler on ReelRum on their Sunday charter. They came out again, on us, and had another phenominal day. After catching the two Marlin on Sunday, Tuesday's charter was aimed at filling a cooler full of fish. Chris and Richard caught 4 real nice Dorado, some in the 50lb class. The guys were once again really happy when they came back to port, this time under their own power. Chris and Richard couldn't say enough about the RedRum crews.

John Garwood and Bob Rooks along with their wives, Carol and Julie were also our guests on Tuesday. Originally, the guys were looking for a share, but after talking with the wives and finding out they wanted to join in on the fun, they decided to take the boat for themselves. Problem was, I had already found a share for them. John, Bob, Carol and Julie were nice enough to invite Mike Lewis out to join them and they had a great day getting to know one another and chasing Marlin. They were able to catch and release one real nice Marlin and they also caught a nice Dorado.

Shaun and Krista Roca our good friends from Florida are serious anglers and basically planned this trip around sport-fishing, you can see how we made fast friends there. Being from Florida, they catch their fare share of Dorado, albeit peanut size bait Dorado, but Dorado nonetheless. They were interested in catching a little bigger Dorado and few Striped Marlin. They said they saw more than 30 Marlin with Mate Americo virtually hitting half of them in the head with bait. However, getting hook-sets were tough to come by. Shaun is a believer in the moon phases and he attributed the lack of hook-ups to, as we say in Spanish, La Luna. Around mid-day the tables turned and Shaun caught and release a nice Striper. A few minutes later a Dorado, a bit bigger than they were used to, crashed the spread and was quickly landed. Krista even had another Marlin on for a short time, the fish however spit the hook after a short fight. They too were very impressed by the crew on El Nuevo and showed visible discomfort when learning that the boat was not available again during their stay.

Finally, with Manuel and Javier on Rum Runnin, we had Andre, Blane, Sara and Harley. Proud new owners of a time-share over at Villa Del Arco, they were ready to get on the water and experience all that Cabo had to offer. Unfortunately, the waters didn't cooperate, the guys did all they could to get a hook-up, it was however "one of those days". That's Fishing!
