I, for one, was on pins and needles today. Have the Striped Marlin really arrived in the crazy numbers that we saw last year or was yesterday an anomoly?
It's true, they are back, who knows for how long, but they are here folks.
Jeffrey and Patti Kaser were on board Rum Runnin again today for their second charter and they got to experience some great action today. Jeff and Patti played host to their friends Bill and Barb Taylor today, and everyone was able to get in on the action. Captain Javier was all over the fish today bringing in 6 catch and release Marlin, 9 Sierra and 1 Dorado.
Rich and Marianne Walz along with Greg and Jennifer Burke all from New York joined us for a day on the water aboard RedBeam today. While Cesar wasn't able to entice as many Marlin into taking bait as some of the other guys today, the Walz's and Burke's had a very successful day on the water, as they finished with 2 catch and release Marlin and 2 Dorado.
Lou Wheeler from Sacramento, California was fishing by himself today aboard TantRum with Ramon and Juan and they had a great day on the water. I think Lou could have used another body to help with the Marlin today, but he was able to bring in 3 catch and release Marlin by himself while also catching a Dorado.
They Bryant brothers, Nathan, Matt, Dennis and Tim along with John Biro and Bill Bell finished up their second day on the water with us today aboard El Nuevo. Captain Alex, who is off for Christmans vacation starting tomorrow was eager to get out on the water for what will be his final day of the year today. Alex finished off a great year with one of his best days, hooking the guys up with 3 Dorado and 6 catch and release Striped Marlin. As with all of our guys, Alex works very very hard day in and day out, 8-10 hours a day making sure our clients have every opportunity to catch fish. Special thanks to our crews who make it all happen out on the water.

Sunday Session...THEY HAVE ARRIVED!!!!
Today was the day everyone, the Marlin have finally arrived. While they are a bit late, we are more than happy to welcome the Striped Marlin to Cabo San Lucas. Sure we have been catching, 1 or 2 per day on some boats, maybe a day here and there with 3 or even 4 but nothing like this time last year when we were getting 6,8 and even 12 Marlin some days. Late October 2008 we saw a huge congregation of Striped Marlin make their way to Cabo, following an even bigger congregation of bait. Well they might be over a month late, but they have arrived. (Just as we suspected they would.)
Andrew Micalizzi and Felipe Benedict are down from New Jersey, after meeting John Donovan at the Atlantic City Boat Show last year. John told them all about RedRum and the phenominal Striped Marlin fishing we were enjoying at the time. The guys were all for it and wanted to come down and fish with RedRum. Day one, as you may have read, the guys limited out on Dorado and had a great day with Alex and Manuel aboard El Nuevo RedRum. After getting the Dorado out of the way, today it was time for some Marlin. I was talking to the guys in the morning and telling them that any day, the Marlin could arrive and make things crazy out there. Well any day was today. When the boat pulled back into the Marina they had the Blue and Red flags flying, with an amazing 9 Striped Marlin Catch and Releases, and 2 Dorado for a little icing on top. They guys were absolutely amazed with what they witnessed out there. Bait balls and boats, Marlin all over the place, everyone jockeying for position. Pure chaos, somewhat organized. The guys had a few double hook-ups throughout the day, and said that there wasn't a 10 minute lull in the action all day. Congrats on your first...second, third and fourth Marlin.
Scott Briles and Katie Kenney from Oceanside, California were the other lucky ones to be out on the water today for the "changing of the guard," so to speak. Scott and Katie each got a Striped Marlin catch and release and then decided to switch their focus to Dorado. Captain Ramon was as excited as anyone to see the Marlin arrive in great numbers, but when the client wants to catch something else, he understands who is in charge. Scott and Katie finished up with 2 Striped Marlin and 6 Dorado.
