Monday...

Darrell Breeze and his boys are down from Montana for the holidays and joined us for a day aboard the RedBeam. Levi, Adam and Beau were busy out on the Pacific side, catching 4 Dorado and 3 catch and release Marlin. Looks like the Breeze family will be enjoying a nice Christmas dinner with their Dorado filets.

Jace and Melanie Horton along with their son Tate, all from Frisco, Texas enjoyed a half-day with the guys on TantRum. Tate's just a little guy, but he battled and bested an nice Dorado while Dad and Mom caught 2 more and caught and released a nice Striped Marlin.

Ralph Hartman and his wife Nan, enjoyed their second of two days on the water, as part of our Play and Stay Package. After getting their Marlin on day one, they were ready to fill the coolers and Omar thought they had the best shot with Dorado. They headed an hour north on the Pacific side and really got into the Dorado landing 11 for the day.

Lucas and Elke Folk all the way from Austria are here in Cabo with one thing in mind, Marlin. Lucas planned this trip about six months ago, and while here for a week, they are fishing 6 days with Javier on Rum Runnin. Day One went very well, with 2 Catch and Release Marlin, 1 Dorado and 2 Skipjack Tuna.

Sunday fishing....

Fishing has been great as of late, and while the Marlin have been showing up in better numbers the last few weeks, the Dorado seemed to have returned as well. The guys have been primarily fishing the Pacific side, from the Lighthouse to Los Arcos and up into the Golden Gate area as well. Some days the Marlin are chasing bait on the surface, other days we are having to use the Lowrance Sonar's to find bait down deep.

Sam Chung, Kyung Cho, Sung Cho, and Kate Oh all from Chula Vista, California joined us for a day on the TantRum on Sunday. Serious Chargers fans, we had to get out and get hooked up and get back to the Marina in time for the 2pm kickoff. Everything went according to plan, and Sam's crew caught and released a Striped Marlin, caught a Yellowfin Tuna, and also caught 2 nice Mahi Mahi that they enjoyed at Mango Cantina while watching the game.

Mike Metz and his three kids, Grace, Austen and Casey from the Scottsdale area joined us for a day aboard the RedBeam. Austen and Casey are experienced saltwater fishermen, but it was Grace that we needed to get a Marlin. The Metz's had a quick start followed by a few slow hours, but the guys stuck with it and they finished with 2 Marlin and a Dorado. Congratulations to Grace, who caught and released her first Striped Marlin in under 20 minutes!!!

Pam and Everett Johnson from Texas Salwater Fishing Magazine were out on El Nuevo RedRum today for their second of two days. While things weren't quite as busy as day one, they did catch and release another 2 Marlin. Pam and Everett had great things to say about Captain Omar when they got back and said they were looking forward to doing a nice write up in their magazine about the trip. Look for the article in an upcoming edition of Texas Saltwater Fishing Magazine.

John and Nancy Baumgartner from South Bend, Indiana are great people and have some great friends back home. John and Nancy were treated to a two day fishing adventure here in Cabo by their good friend Don back home. Today they fished with Rum Runnin and caught 4 Dorado and 2 Striped Marlin.
