Big enough to mount, beautiful enough to release

It seems to be the TCU fraternity brother reunion month because yet another one of R. Donovan’s friends came by to fish with us. Blake along with girlfriend Kelly went out on our 28’ ReelRum with Captain Omar and Mate Americo and caught 3 twenty to thirty pound Dorado. They met up with these beauties about twenty four miles offshore by Golden Gate on the Pacific side where water temperature reached eighty five degrees.

Daniel, Mike, Jake and Jake went out from New York and California went out on our 32’ RedBeam with Captain Marcial. They caught a Wahoo, 7 Dorado that weighed between ten to twenty pounds, five of which they released, and a seventy pound Sailfish which they also released. The fun happened on the Pacific side which has become quite the popular spot amongst our trophy fish.

Josh and friends from Houston, Texas went out on our 32’ RumRunnin with Captain Manuel and Mate Juan. They caught and released 2 sixty pound Sailfish using live bait and a hundred and twenty pound Striped Marlin using a lure. They also caught 6 ten to thirty pound Dorado, releasing one of them and keeping the rest for dinner. It all went down four miles offshore by the lighthouse.

Shane and friends from Houston, Texas found us through their local CCA chapter and are enjoying a four night stay at our Portofino condos. They’ll be fishing twice on this trip and went out today with Captain Alex and Mate Ramon on our 33’ El Nuevo. The guys did not come back empty handed. They caught a hundred and forty pound Striped Marlin two miles offshore on the Pacific side as well as 2 twenty five pound Dorado and 3 fifteen pound Tuna. That’s a lot of fish! Nice job guys, see you on Sunday!!!

Joey and Annie send us some love

Enjoy these pics of seasoned anglers Joey and Annie Minville from Louisiana. They have fished with us seven times and released 34 billfish. Here's a highlight from their last fish with us at the end of July:

They were on the Beam two days in a row with Marshall and the first day reeled in a nice 40 pound Tuna. They enjoyed a nice dinner at Misiones de Kino with some killer tuna sashimi. Joey had his heart set on Marlin. So when the second day rolled around he had high hopes of a good day, and as luck would have it, they had a phenomenal day. The first two Striped Marlin they caught were on a double hook-up out at Golden Gate. As Annie was fighting her Marlin asking for Joey’s help, his reel went off and Annie was on her own. They ended up fighting about 7 Marlin, lost 3 but brought 4 to the boat to release them. They caught 1 Tuna and 2 Dorado. They just can’t get enough of Misiones de Kino, so will be heading back for more!
