September 23rd

Well I’m back in the office for a few days while my husband Ryan heads up to Clemson to root on not Clemson but our alma matter TCU. GO FROGS! Yup, it’s a boys trip so I was off the invite list, but am covering the fort while the guys get themselves into trouble up there. I’m glad to report the latest and greatest at RedRum in Cabo San Lucas.

The glowing honeymooners Nathan and Jessica from Tampa arrived early off of the RedBeam this afternoon. Jessica wasn’t feeling too well on the water and wanted to head in. But just when they were heading back from the Lighthouse the Captain and Mate on RedBeam fired a few lures in the water after some trolling in the morning. And BAM, BAM, BAM just like that a triple Marlin hook-up in minutes! Jessica was suddenly feeling a bit better. Muneca the mate had to get on the 3rd Marlin as the honeymooners were a few hands short. Muneca’s Marlin got away which he called a “Mexican release”. But Nathan and Jessica fought for 2 hours! They were able to pull their 180-200 pound Marlins on board for some pictures and released them all before 1 pm. That’s a heck of a morning on the Pacific!

The office was a whirlwind as the rest of the crews came back around 3:30. Chris, John, Russel and Rene headed out again on El Nuevo. The fish were putting up a fight as they were out around Los Arcos in the Pacific side. The got on a Wahoo but it got away. They just couldn’t get them on board. The guys got into about 3-4 Dorado as well and lost them in the fight, but ended up with one to cook up back at the condos. These guys will enjoy a nice dinner back at the Portofino Condos in their Stay & Play package.

Our dear friend Kaye Peters had her family in town and her dad had his eyes on catching that BIG Billfish. All aboard RumRunnin was Jona, Jerry & Cordelia Swaford along with the lovely Kaye. They headed out to the Pacific Side and saw a lot of Marlin out on the surface as they were pitching live bait, but just couldn’t get them to bite. The had the feather lures out for the Dorado, but they weren’t having it either. As they headed toward Mirgrino on the Pacific side about a mile out, Jerry got that BIG fish, that Sailfish that he’s always dreamed of!

Yvette & Tracy from Newburgh, Indiana headed out on ReelRum with Omar & Americo. Out to Golden Gate they ran hoping to get on some fish for dinner. They were able to catch 2 nice Dorado on live bait and a nice Tuna on a lure. We’ve got their cooler here to vacuum seal and freeze their catch and the rest they’ll be eating at Missiones de Kino for dinner!

Hasta Manana

Tuesday's Report

Chris Sadlers CCA Play and Stay group from Louisiana wanted to target the Billfish today and while the bit for Marlin still hasn't arrived in ridiculous numbers here in Los Cabos, they were able to catch and release a nice 9ft Striped Marlin.

Sean and Elizibeth McCrary from Dallas, Texas were referred to us from a friend from TCU and they were excited about their trip with us. After a slow start to the morning, Omar and Americo ended up finding the fish late and after catching 10 Yellowfin within an hour, they were then able to catch a nice Stiped Marlin which Sean described as one of the Top 10 Highlights of his life!

Finally, we had Jason and Jacque Tedesco fishing with us aboard Rum Runnin with Javier and Manuel. Javier really like what he saw water temperature wise on the Sea of Cortez, and while the fishing has been good on the Pacific, he decided to take a chance with the Cortez. Good call Javier! The Tedesco's fished the 95 spot with live bait for the Dorado and feathers for the Tuna. They ended up with 8 Tuna and 3 Dorado.

- I am off to Dallas and then Clemson, South Carolina for a little guys trip to watch the TCU Horned Frogs do battle with the Clemson Tigers, it's up to Brooke and Diana to run the show. See you Monday.
