Wednesday Update

Joe Scamardo and his Italian Mob fished again today with us and wanted to get out and search for Tuna and Marlin after catching a bunch of Dorado yesterday. The guys fished hard and certainly put forth the effort. While they did see some Marlin they couldn't get any to bite. Great group of guys and it was a pleasure meeting everyone. Hopefully we see you guys back next year.

Greg Spreen and Jennifer Halverson were back on the water today aboard TantRum with Ramon and Juan. While they got into the Dorado again, catching 2, they also got into some billfish action. Greg wanted to go after some Tuna this morning, so I recommended making a big circular loop in the morning heading eventually towards Golden Gate. They spent about three hours looking for Tuna, and while they found some Porpoise, they couldn't get a Tuna bite. The good thing was, when they were ready to call it quits, they were close to the Golden Gate and they soon found some action. Greg caught a nice 99" Striped Marlin and another a bit smaller, plus the 2 Dorado.

Ken Moss and Jon Kendall were back on the water with Ulyses today on Grey Light. These guys came back excited as they thought they might have had a World Record catch on their hands. Fishing with 10lb test, Ken caught an estimated 120lb Sailfish, in less than 5 minutes!!! Unfortunately, there is no 10lb line class in the IGFA, it goes from 8lbs to 12lbs. The 12lb World Record for Pacific Sailfish was caught in Australia and weighed in at 170+lbs. World record or not, it was an impressive catch! The guys also got 3 more Dorado today, great day!!

Sumner and Andrea Brown from Weymouth, Massachusetts joined us today aboard AnzueloII. These guys had a great day with Captain Lupe catching a bunch of Dorado and Tuna. They weren't even sure how many they had, Sumner claimed, "I don't like eating them, just enjoy catching them." I know their are a few readers of this blog out there that would love to enjoy those filets! To each their own.

John Heitkamp, Mike Nickerson and Gary Johnson fished with Javier today and they too caught a bunch of Tuna and Dorado. John also mentioned he only wanted a few filets for Missiones de Kino and was going to leave the rest with his buddy Wally here in town. Lucky Wally, I know. John has been fishing with RedRum for about 15 years and is probably our longest tenured client. After his day on the water John told me about his collection of RedRum gear, hats, t-shirts, flags, etc. He claims to have about 45 RedRum hats from over the years and says his wife plans to take the logo's from all the hats and shirts and make a quilt for us. Too cool huh, can't wait to display that in the office. Great seeing you John.

Last but not least we had William Ott and Joanne Davis with us aboard ReelRum with Captain Omar. William and Joanne were the first ones here this morning, beating me to the office. I guess you could say they were excited! And, they had every reason to be, they must have known they were going to battle a Marlin and 8 Dorado today!

Another great day,

Ryan

Tuesday's update...

Chris and Cathy Phillips along with Jay and Vicky Harrwood fished with us today aboard Solmar Uno with Captain Freddy and Mate Wes. These guys had a great day, catching 7 Dorado. They had a nice 35lb Wahoo up to the side of the boat, but the fish took off right when they went to gaff it and it got away. Oh well, can't catch them all.

Captain Steve Peterson joined us today from Spanish Fork, Utah, coming off the Mariner of the Sea Royal Carribean Cruise Ship. Capt. Steve and his crew didn't get on board until 9:30am, but were still able to bring in 4 Dorado with Captain Javier showing Steve a few of the local tricks.

Dave Olsen and Scott Moen of Minnesota joined us today on TantRum with Captain Ramon and Mate Juan. These guys were lined up for two days of fishing, but after Dave tweaked a shoulder, (probably reeling in all the fish!,) one day was enough. The guys had their hands full, catching 7 nice Dorado.

Ivo and Annie Zulian were back at it again today, once again fishing with Cesar on the RedBeam. They had another successful day on the water, catching 6 Dorado. Annie and Ivo decided to have some of the fish Smoked and donated the rest to the crew. I know they have at least one relative back in Canada that was looking forward to them bringing home some filets (he sent an email to make sure I knew.) Hopefully everyone enjoys their catch and has as much fun eating it as they did catching it.

Christina Bastis and Michael Mcguire from Scarsdale, New York, fished with us today on ReelRum. Captain Omar was their guide and he did a great job putting them on the fish. They had 7 Dorado by the time they made their way back to the Marina.

Our two trips last week were amazing! The first day out on October 6th we headed out with our favorite, Captain Omar and ReelRum. I guess you could call it a Father/Son - Father/Daughter trip, as Amy and I were taking our Dads (Lance Hutton & Al Starich) fishing for the first time in Cabo. We were celebrating my Father-in-law's 70th birthday and we were not disappointed. Well at first we were, as we found out from the bait guys they were completely out! Only to have RumRunnin put 3 in a zip lock and toss them over to us on the way up the coast! Team work at its best! All three baits ended up catching fish! We ended the day with 9 Dorado. Omar and Americo did an excellent job and worked hard the entire day. The Birthday boy said it was one of the best birthdays he could remember.

Day two, October 8th was spent on El Nuevo, with Captain Alex. Of course Amy tried to talk John into letting Omar take us out on El Nuevo, but to no avail. Joining the original 4 from the first day were our friend Andrea Stanley (second time out with RedRum) and our new friend Jim Mussman. Once again bait was scarce, but we did get 4 on the way out. Not long after we passed the Old Lighthouse we dropped our lines in to start trolling. Even before we set all of the lines out we had a strike! We lost the first two Dorado and then things got crazy. Before the day was complete we landed 20, YES, Twenty Dorado (15 to 40 lbs)! Ten of which were boated and the others released. We did cast bait to a Sailfish and Marlin, but they were not interested. Our RedRum crew worked hard once again and a great day was had by all. Both days ended with dinner at Missiones De Kino's which we high recommend!

Thanks for another outstanding fishing adventure RedRum! We will be back!

Thank You!
