While we did catch a few Yellowfin today, it was Tunerific because our Yellowfin replica mount of the winning fish from the Western Outdoor News Tuna Jackpot arrived today. The box was 10 feet long and 5 feet tall, and somehow made it here in one piece. The fish is absolutely gorgeous and I would like the thank the guys at Global Fish Mounts (http://globalfishmounts.com/) for hooking us up. It is hanging up above our desk here in the office. I will get a pic of it on the blog tomorrow.
Now for the important stuff. Great fishing today, all the boys had great days on the water...and a few girls too.
Charles Ebel, along with David and Sandy Englehart fished today with Omar and Americo on ReelRum. The folks had a great day on the water and while they were too pooped to come into the office after their day on the water, Mr. Ebel was nice enough to call to let me know that the crew had done a great job today. He made a point to let me know that the guys would not give up when they weren't getting bites. They landed a nice Dorado, but couldn't get a Marlin to bite. After throwing bait to a ton of fish, the boys went into their bag of tricks and pulled out the Kite Fishing Rig. After deploying the kite and bait, it wasn't long before they had a hook-up. A monster Striped Marlin was caught and released, but not before getting some measurements. 111" fish, truly spectacular.
Roger Huffman along with his good buddies, Mike Shafer, Kendall Karr and Brett Gardner had a phenominal day with Javier and Manuel. 2 Marlin caught and released, 2 nice Yellowfin Tuna, and 2 Dorado (one whopper) was the final tally. The only problem with a day like today for these guys, they have two more days of fishing. Not sure how we are going to match that tomorrow. As always, we'll try.
Finally, the ladies from Louisianna. Kim, Blair, Nalani, Carolyn, Rachel and Susie headed out on El Nuevo RedRum today with Ramon and Muneca. After arriving yesterday, 3 of the ladies headed out to sample the local flavors at various watering holes, the other 3 stayed back and enjoyed the comforts of the condos at Portofino (part of our Play and Stay Package.) Well, I wouldn't have guessed it, but the 3 ladies that stayed home got sick on the boat today and the 3 ladies that went out on the town felt fine. The girls had a blast bringing in a couple of really nice Dorado, a Yellowfin Tuna, and big Striped Marlin. They will be enjoying dinner at Misiones de Kino tonight, I can guarantee that.
Hasta Manana!

Mondays are a mess
Mondays are a mess and faithful readers of this blog/fishing report know that more often than not, I struggle to get a fish report up Monday afternoon. So without further ado, here is the report for Monday, June 22nd. Winds picked up a bit today with a Tropical Storm, Andres, looming a few hundred miles south of us. Luckily for us and our anglers, the fish didn't seem to notice.
Ben Scriber and his buddies headed out on El Nuevo with Alex and Ramon and had a good day. While Katie did all she could to keep from chumming, Ben, Stepen, and Louis had their hands full with 2 big catch and release Striped Marlin.
Cody Loverin and Kate Bell (TCU 04') headed out with Omar and Americo on ReelRum. We were glad to have some former Frogs fishing with us, and wished them the best before they left. Kate didn't take to the Sea of Cortez as well as she would have liked and needed to come back early, but not before Cody reeled in a whopper of a Dorado. The big bull was in the 55-60lb class and Cody couldn't resist getting a replica mount made of the trophy. After Kate made her retreat to the friendly confines of the resort, Cody headed back out in search of a Marlin. While they saw a few fish and tried to pitch bait to them, a Yellowfin Tuna was all they could manage.
Pamela Bell called a few weeks back and told me I needed to get her son hooked up on a charter and hooked up with some fish as a graduation gift. No problem there. Arnold and Karl Bell, along with Josh Neblock and Bob Rike headed out with Javier and had a great day. When it was said and done, the guys were able to bring in 4 real nice Dorado, two in the 50lb class.
Finally, Wes Watkins along with his Wife Doris, their sons Tom and Brian and their kids, Ally and Tyler headed out with Marshall on the RedBeam. They weren't able to get Tyler, their grandson to reel in one of the big Dorado they caught, but rumor is he gave a Sierra hell at the end of the trip. They ended up with 3 Dorado and a Yellowfin to take home.
Buen dia!
