Playing catch up...

Hola Hola... Back to the reports after missing a few days. John Donovan was in town covering the office for a few days, since Diana is still out with her broken jaw. Unfortunately there is more to running a sportfishing company than catching monster fish all day long. Brooke and I spent the week going to Notary, getting permits, and all the other extremely boring and often times frustrating aspects of the business. That being said, at the end of each day, dad was more interested in cooling off with a glass of Pinot Grigio on ice than writing about all the fish being caught. I will do my best to piece together what happened in my absence.

Tuesday was phenominal for most of the boats we sent out. Another whale was found dead, floating offshore and providing both shade and a meal for many a fish. The boats that were fortunate enough to find the whale had amazing days. John Baggette, a friend from the state of Texas and TCU took a large party out with Fiden, the Captain of the 42' Pescado III. Fiden was one of the first boats on the scene and they caught 8 Yellowfin and 2 real nice sized Wahoo. We saw John and his crew that night at Misiones de Kino enjoying their catch. I had the pleasure of meeting John's wife and his daughter Hannah, who informed me that she was heading out the following day to show her dad how it was done. Unfortunately, day 2 wasn't as great of a day as a few of the ladies on the boat didn't agree with the seas and got sick. They were back early and didn't get much fishing in.

The Rico party that came off the Royal Carribean cruise ship suffered the same fate and they too had to call it quits shortly after their trip began.

Keith Grove and his son were back for Day 3 of their Cabo adventure and after 2 days and only 1 fish to show for it, they had something to prove. Well they certainly made up for the two slow days, Keith and his son came back with 4 Dorado flags and 8 tuna flags flying, grinning from ear to ear.

Jeff Clinkscales and Leon Jordan fished with Javier and Manuel aboard Run Runnin and caught a nice Marlin and a big Dorado. Not a bad day at all!

Kevin Miller fished with Carlos aboard a Panga and they went out searching for Roosterfish. While they couldn't get into the Roosters, they did grab some Bonita and 6 Pargo. A good friend of Captain Marshalls found the Roosters though and brought in a monster 53 Kilo fish, 116lbs. Can't imagine the fight that fish must have put up.

Matthew Clark and his crew had a great day on the Tuna as well, they fished with Omar and Americo on ReelRum and brought in 6 Yellowfin Tuna.

Don and Cecilia Carruth along with Matt and D'Liza Stockman fished with Freddy and caught a huge 107" 160lb Striped Marlin.

Wednesday was a little rough on the water, as the girls on Pescado III can vouch for. Duane Abshire fished with Javier and Chivo, and while they caught a Marlin they had a somewhat slow day.

Brian Reardon and his crew fished on the RedBeam and El Nuevo RedRum. Not sure how the Beam did, but they found a school of Tuna on El Nuevo and caught 5.

I'll catch you up on today tomorrow morning. Need to send out the latest edition of Portside, our email newsletter. If you don't currently receive Portside and would like to, shoot us an email and we will add you to the list. info@redrumcabo.com
