And, as some of you know, when a Captain finds something floating in the water there is usually something hanging around below. Well, they always say it is better to be lucky than good, today the boys got lucky. 20 miles offshore, unfortunately (for the whale, not the fisherman) a whale died and floated to the surface. Bait fish, Dorado and even Tuna took advantage and were all feeding on and around the whale.
Captain Omar pulled double duty today, with a rare 1/2 day charter in the morning and another 1/2 day charter in the afternoon. First up were Eric and Medea Olson. Omar lured in a nice 45lb Dorado with a Mexican Flag colored lure from Ballyhood Lures, which Eric fought. Next up was Medea, who caught and released an estimated 140lb Marlin. After returning to the Marina and cleaning the boat, Omar headed back out and had at least 1 Yellowfin Tuna for James Heil and his crew last we heard.
Captain Marshall on the RedBeam hosted Bill and Ona Yoa today. Marshall had heard of fish being caught away from the Herradura Bank and was unfortunately no where near the floating whale carcass. That being said, Marshall was still able to find the Yellowfin, hooking the Yoa's up with 3 nice fish.
Vincent Potti and his son fished with Javier on Rum Runnin and they were lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time. They were one of the first boats to find the whale and they had an epic day. 9 Dorado, 6 of which they released and 8 Yellowfin Tuna found their way to the boat after eating live pitch bait.
DeeAnn Robinson and her crew got off the Royal Carribean Cruise Line at 9:30am and by 10:30am they were nearing the action. Having heard about what was happening out at sea, Captain Alex fired up the twin engine 33' Bertram and raced to the scene. The Robinson's finished their day with 8 Dorado and 3 Yellowfin Tuna. What a fabulous day for a group that got a late start.
Here's to finding the floating whale again tomorrow!

True to form....
True to form, we didn't get a fish report out yesterday. Monday's are pay day for the Captains and Mates, which of course makes it that much crazier around the office when the boats get back. If you read any of the reports from last week, the boys certainly earned their paychecks last week. Monday came and all the boys were headed back to the Herradura Bank, the fish that were there on Saturday had calmed down a bit on Sunday (as I am all too well aware.) Let's see how the boys did on Monday.
Jennifer and Randal Snyder from Surprise, Arizona were the first to return to the Marina and they had a great day on the water. "Mixed Bag" would be the term that best represented their day on the water. Randal brought in a real nice Sailfish, a fish we haven't seen a whole lot of this year, so that was an encouraging way to start their day. The Snyders also brought in a nice Dorado, a Yellowfin Tuna, and a Jack Crevalle. The Jack Crevalle's have been all over the place lately and showing some good size as well.
Captain Richard Delor and his wife Meg are visiting from Nevada and spending two days of their 10th anniversary vacation fishing with RedRum. Captain Richard is used to fishing the Great Lakes area out of Michigan, so hooking into a 9ft Striped Marlin was a real trip for him. A true angler, Richard was able to catch and release his first Marlin in about 30 minutes. The Delor's will be fishing with us again on Wednesday, hope the action continues where it left off.
Greg Barron and his crew were back for their second day of fishing, which is included in our Stay and Play Packages. Greg, Mary, Nancy, Vicki and Michael were all back again, but the day belonged to Courtney, Greg's daughter. Courtney put her guns to work and caught and released 2 whopper Striped Marlin. 97" and 101" were the lengths of these two big Marlin! Congratulations Courtney! Great Job!
Finally we had the Wade Groenwold along with Lori, his wife and Preston and Dalton his two kids. Joyce Morgan and Karen Dorner were also along for the ride today, and a beautiful ride it was. Fabulous weather for fishing and calm seas. Lori showed them all how it was done with a massive 107" Marlin. Preston was trying to get mom to let him put the mount up in his room once it was done, however, I think Lori has different thoughts about where this beautiful Marlin will be residing. Congrats Lori, that was one hell of a Marlin!
