Fun Day Sunday

Onthe last day of January, its been a tranquilo Sunday on the Marina in Cabo San Lucas. But exciting for the RedRum boats on the water today.

The temperature in the water is about 73 degrees Fahrenheit. Scott & Chris, buddies from Ohio and girlfriendless, headed out with Capt. Javier and Mate Americo aboard RumRunnin. They went between Los Arcos and El Faro on the Pacific side about 3-4 miles out. They caught 2 Dorado on live bait and about 6 Skip Jacks inshore. Nice job gentlemen.

Patrick and Heather from Green Bay, Wisconsin headed out with Captain Ramon and Mate Juan. They had a busy morning reeling in 4 Dorado followed by a slow afternoon on the water. Then BAM! just at the tail end of their trip Patrick reeled in that Striper he's been wanting and seeled the deal in the Baja waters.

And last but not least is the Dixon party from Longview, Washington, this time for their 3rd day on the water was just Doug and Lisa, Kristofer and Dave weren't feeling to well. They were hoping for Marlin their last few days fishing, but just didn't have any luck. But today was a new day. They came in with some Dorado and finally was able to reel in and release that Striped Marlin they'd been wanting. Too bad Kristofer and Dave weren't on board to witness the action! Hope to see you guys back down again soon.

Thanks for checking in with us. Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!

Dorado Saturday

Hey Amigos!

Once again RedRum is posting it's daily Fish Report and I have to say that today was an excellent day for Dorado, and Marlin. The biggest Dorado caught was a 35 pounder so congrats to Doug Dixon and his crew for the good job!

During their second day with us they used dead bait, fished out in San Jose and caught 7 Dorado. Not bad at all!! Tomorrow will be their last day fishin'...unless they decide to book something up for the week but maybe tomorrow they will be able to top today's catch. We'll keep posting up the info for all of you to read!

And once again Willie Gossett and his buds joined us for another great and exciting adventure out in the Pacific. Today they were able to fish up 10 Dorado...WOW!!! and 2 Marlin. Some of Willie's bud decided to spend the day out chillin' while the rest were out there catchin' them like taking candy from a baby!!! Good going dudes.

I know that the meal they had the chef cook for them last night was so delicious they decided to go for it again today so they will be rockin' tonight back at the condos and simply enjoying a Saturday here in Cabo San Lucas.

Keep loggin' in for more information on what goes on at RedRum Sportfishing.

Great, Amazing, Fantabulous Friday

Hey People,

Well it's Friday and I am sure most of you will have some sort of special event going on tonight, maybe a nice meal, some delicious Margartias or simply just chill and enjoy the rest of the evening. I know for a fact that our good friends who enjoyed a good time on our boats Tantrum, Red Beam, El Nuevo, Grey Light and Ziggy all have something cool going on tonight.

It was a good day fishing out in the pacific today here in Cabos we have very nice weather, really sunny yet not too hot...just perfect!

So this day started off with Doug, Dave and Kristofer showing up to our office but leaving some of their gear in the taxi they took from their hotel to our offices, luckily the "missing bag" was spotted on time and brought back for them to pick up and enjoy a great day fishing.

It was the second day fishing and last for our friend Steve and his crew Pete and Michele who even though thought today was a slow day they still had a great time and were able to catch a Dorado and Tuna. They had in mind drinking some famous Cabos Margaritas and just spend the rest of the day chillin' before they have to leave this fabulous place! So bottoms up dudes and have some delicious Margaritas for all of the RedRum crew.

It was also Willie Gossett and his pals Paul, Allen, Wyane, Michael, Murray, Joe, Kelly and Marshall's second day fishing with us and they also had an awesome time out today. They are really looking forward in having a private Chef go up to one of the condos and cook them a delicous Yellowfin Tuna (fished by them) with a traditional Mexican dish on the side to enjoy the this day. Maybe some great Enchiladas, Wacamole, tacos, some Chiles Rellenos or hey maybe even some Spicy Green Salsa Chilaquiles!!! Yummy! the real Cabo Way! Cool guys I hope you come in tomorrow to enjoy your third day fishing with only the best...RedRum of course!

Paul Moleski and his buds Greg, Doug and Brad also had a super cool day with us, they caught 3 Dorado, a Marlin and 5 Yellowtail Tuna great going guys! Don't know how they will finish off the rest of the day but I am pretty sure they will be rockin' it!

So, keep reading out our posts and remember... If you wanna relax...go fish in a river but if it's excitement you are looking for we will give you an experience you will never forget!!!

Peace Out!
The RedRum Team

Celebration Thursday

Hey People!
So today we celebrated Tantrum's Captain Mr. Ramon's b-day with a delicious traditional "Tres Leches" cake, happy b-day big guy!
We had Andrew Reberry and his buds come down to enjoy some fishin' with us before one of them gives the big next step in saying I DO next Saturday, congrats buddy! These guys fished with shrimpheads for bait and got 4 nice yellowtail 30 - 40 Lbs each and 1 Dorado. Sweet dudes.

We also had another large group with Willie Gossett and his crew who caught 2 Marlin, 1 Bonita and 2 Dorado. They were only able to bring 1 Marlin in though..but still they had one good time there!

And Last but not least our friend Steve Lenker with his buds showed up right on time! Steve was so anxious to go out there and catch some fish that his buddy Pete said he had slept all night with his Harness all set and ready to rock...that's the spirit steve. They caught 1 Marlin and 2 Dorado.

Wacky Windy Wednesday!

So it was a windy Wednesday today, but still very good for our customers who enjoyed the day a lot.
Today John Horger with his buddies Rick, Ed and Robert finished their Stay and Play with a great fishing day in the pacific side with Captain Cesar.They caught 4 Dorado's and more than 10 Sierra! Great Job dudes!
Also, Jimmy and Tammy joined us today for their 2nd day out in the water with Captain Alex on El Nuevo. Today really made up for all those slow days out in the Pacific.

J and T caught themselves 2 sierra, 2 Dorado, 1 Rooster and 1 Marlin to end their journey!

Catching up, once again... and possible exciting news on the horizon.

As many of you know, Diana, our former office manager left the RedRum family and is now teaching English in Thailand. That being said, Brooke and I have been busy picking up the slack and interviewing new candidates and we think we are very close to making a decision. We have always tried to build this business and the client base around the idea of "family." We want all the clients to feel like family and our employees to feel like family. We also know that all of you like to see the same smiling faces each and every year, so we are looking for someone that is willing to stick around for the long haul. That being said, I know there are some of you that get a little feisty when the fish report skips a day or two, things should be back to normal soon.

Mid-week last week around the 20th and 21st we had some good fishing again, with Captain Ron and his crew back at it again catching 4 Dorado and 12 Sierra. Scott Pearson and his crew also had some great fishing with the guys on Rum Runnin hooking them up with 6 Dorado and 1 Wahoo. Seemed like there were only 1 or 2 Marlin coming in each day from the 20th through the 23rd. We did have a few boats that struck out during that time frame as well, but it was usually clients that really wanted to focus on a specific species.

One guy that wanted to really focus Ryan Esko. Ryan was joining us for two days of fishing from Miami, Florida. Ryan and his gal, Valeria, had a few fish on day one, but got skunked on day two and still had not had a shot at a Marlin. They took a day to re-group and gave it one more shot and it paid off big time. Ryan landed his first ever Marlin after close to 24 hours of fishing. That is certainly dedication, and a fish that Ryan can be very proud of.

Stay tuned tomorrow, hopefully we have some exciting news about a new member of Team RedRum!

Slow Sharky Sunday

A cloudless sunny sky here in Cabo today. The winds have calmed down a bit with the temp a bit brisk in the mornings still.

It was a slow sharky Sunday today on RedRum boats.

Jordanna and Nilsua from British Columbia headed out on the RedBeam today with Capt. Cesar. They went out in front of the Westin on the Sea of Cortez. They saw about 3 Striped Marlin on the surface but they weren't hungry. With the 63 degree Fahrenheit currents moving in and out, that can mean shark. And sure enough, they reeled in 1 Hammerhead.

On their first day out on the water, John Horger and his group staying in the condos up at Portofino using the Stay & Play package are out on Day 1 of their 3 day package. With Chivo and Amerio on RumRunnin, they had a tough day out there. They didn't reel anything in today, so it goes sometimes with fishing. But they've got two more days on the water so we're going to wish them the best!

And last but not least was David Foret, also staying in the Portofino Condos with his crew Trey, Linda, Steve, DJ and Roy from Louisiana. They were out for the 2nd day with Alex on El Nuevo. Simliar to the other boats, there wasn't much action out there, they saw one Marlin jumping on the surface but no bites. Out at the Palmilla in about 71 degree F waters they reeled in a Hammerhead Shark as well. Both Hammerheads were released as well.

We're hoping the seas pick up tomorrow!

Thanks for checking in...

Brooke

Catching....Up

Hola Hola

As many of you know, we have been a little short staffed and one of the areas that takes a hit is the fishing report. We are currently interviewing for the Office Manager position, and while finding someone like Luis or Diana will not be easy, we have met a bunch of great candidates already and I am confident we will find someone to y'alls liking as well as ours.

I know Brooke did a quick report yesterday, but I will try to catch you up on the days I missed before yesterday. I won't go into detail about every single charter, but rather try to give you an idea of what's been happening.

As you may have read, we had great Marlin and Dorado fishing from the 1st of the New Year through the middle of last week, and then things slowed down. We had some winds that kicked up the water on the Pacific, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and it made for some tough fishing. We tried to send boats to the Cortez to stay out of the choppy water, but the fishing wasn't all that great over there. It's always a bummer when folks come back without any flags flying, but that's part of the game. We had over 10 charters on Friday and Saturday alone and we did have 2 boats get skunked.

Bruce Billings and his crew were the lucky anglers on the 15th. Bringing in 5 Dorado while fishing with Javier, these guys caught more than any other boat that day. They also fished the 16th and were only able to get 2 Dorado. Their final day of fishing the 17th, they really wanted to focus on getting that Marlin, but it wasn't in the cards. The guys were here early every day, and they fished hard, but couldn't get that Billfish.

Cody and Tonya Lavelett, along with their pal Mike Kiser were the winners on the 16th with 5 Dorado fishing with Javier on Rum Runnin. They decided on day 2 that they wanted to give a go at some Tuna fishing. Javier had heard a few reports on the radio and they gave it a shot on the 17th. Well, as it sometimes goes with the Tuna, they had to search a bit, and they had to travel close to 30 miles offshore, but they were the first to find them and landed 9 when it was said and done.

Not everyone had the same success as the Billings crew or the Lavelett's and that is always hard for our clients to comprehend. Why do two boats fishing the same area, with the same bait and tackle have such different success rates? That's fishing guys. Cabo is always billed as the Sportfishing Capital of the World, and 95% of the time we are catching fish like crazy, but great days wouldn't be special if there weren't a few tough days. That being said, it always sucks for those folks that get unlucky out there.

The average over the weekend was one or two fish per boat, some got lucky and found the Tuna and were able to really get into them. A few boats even found nice schools of Dorado and got 3 or 4 fish.

The last two groups that did very well were the Blair's from Alvarado, Texas and Chistopher Walters group from Cape May, New Jersey.

The Blairs are friends of friends, and I told them in the morning, while I couldn't get them on a Billfish more than likely, we could most likely find some Tuna and have some fun. Check and Check. 12 Tuna for the day and Mrs. Blair came back into the office to tell me it was her best fishing experience of her life. Good stuff guys, glad it worked out well.

Christopher Walters was supposed to fish with two buddies on TantRum, but two more friends showed up rather unexpectedly, meaning they wouldn't all fit on the boat. Luckily, I was able to move them over to the RedBeam where they fished with Raymond and Fausto. I could write about their day, but Christopher sent me a nice email and he said it well enough. Below is Chris' email....

RedRum THANKS You guys are the BEST. I am so pleased with your service. I reserved and at the last moment had 2 other guests show up and you were able to upgrade me to a larger boat in less than 30 minutes. Thanks. And buy the way WE CAUGHT FISH 1 Marlin and 6 Tuna WOW Everything was 1st class. The father and son team of captain and mate were great maybe the best. I will be back. This trip I will remember for ever. Hope to see your dad at the atlantic city boat show soon.

Sewell New Jersey



Thanks for taking the time to read the report, and hopefully we can stay on top of it better for you. If you are looking to get out of the cold and enjoy a nice weekend on the water, we still have boats available for the last weekend of the month.

Holy Tuna!

Beautiful sunny skies on this Tuesday afternoon in Cabo. All of you surrounded by snow should wonder why you aren't down here for a visit!! We're waiting.

I apologize in the delay of getting the fish report out. With Diana being gone, and us in the process of interviewing for a new office manager, Ryan and I have stayed busy around the clock. And John you wonder? Well he's been working his tail off at the Trade Shows up north. So for those of you in San Mateo, Sacramento, Long Beach or Atlantic City, he'll be heading your way! Be sure to come by and say Hola!

So back to the fishing, John and Diane out on their 1st of 3 days fishing headed out with Javier on RumRunnin. They had an enjoyable day on the water as they headed to the Lighthouse in hopes of some action. They got more than the bargained for when they went about 26 miles out from the Faro and caught 10 Tuna! And don't forget the catch and released Striped Marlin they reeled in as well! We'll see you guys again tomorrow for some more action.

Mike and Tommy from Sweetwater, Texas also out on their 1st of 3 days fishing with RedRum, sailed aboard the RedBeam with Captain Cesar. The stayed along the shore on the Mar De Cortez and got 3 Dorado on some lures. Not bad for day 1 gentlemen.

Clark, James, Steve and Rick all from Montana and South Dakota (smart people to get out of that cold weather!) headed out on El Nuevo today. Just like RumRunnin they got into some Tuna as well. Right around Chivo, about 26 miles out from the Faro they reeled in 9 Tuna!

And last but not least was Albert who fished with us from the Royal Carribean on a half day aboard Tantrum. The seas weren't in his favor today as we know how fishing goes sometimes, he wasn't able to get anything to bite on his 1/2 day trip. With his fun cruise, he'll have more sailing ahead. Thanks for being a good sport about the sport of fishing Albert. Hope to see you back with RedRum!

Have a wonderful afternoon everybody!
Brooke

Thursday

Thursday was a lite day, with only one boat going out. While it isn't great for business, it is necessary from time to time as the boys get a chance to fix up all the little things that like to go wrong after 8 hours on the water everyday.

Bruce and Patti Londgren and Ken and Debi Lathrop were our guests today, everyone hailing from Minnesota. Bruce and Ken told me in the morning that they wanted to catch Dorado, and weren't interested in Marlin. Captain Ramon was on it, hooking them up with 6 nice fish.

As it is a little chilly on the water in the mornings, Bruce had brought a long sleeve flannel shirt to wear first thing in the morning. Not sure if he could feel Ramon eyeing it all day or not, but by the end of the day, part of Ramon's tip was the flannel shirt with a camo pattern and white-tail deer all over it. Ramon recently found himself a new squeeze and her father is a big hunter here in southern Baja. Ramon has been joining her father every sunday at his ranch, and even shot his first deer this year. If you don't think Ramon is going to be wearing that shirt come Sunday you need your head checked, he was absolutely thrilled as he came in the office modeling it.

Bruce, that was a very nice gesture and we thank you and all our clients who are so gracious to our Captains and Mates. They appreciate your goodwill more than you know.

Thanks,
Ryan

Wednesday Report

Today we had the Skovera clan from Wisconsin fishing with us aboard TantRum. Bruce and Katrina, as well as Carrie and Dale all had a chance on the rod and reel as Captain Ramon was able to hook them up with 5 Dorado.

Craig Colelli and Lance Goth met here in Cabo and both wanted to get you fishing but were the only ones in their party that shared the same feeling. Fortunately, they hooked up and found us and we got them out with Ulyses for a day on Grey Light. As random as that was, so was their day fishing. Craig and Lance did something that has only happened two other times in the history of our company. They caught a Pez Espada or Swordfish. While the Sword was tiny, under a 100lbs, it was a Sword nonetheless. Quite a cool accomplishment in this part of the world. Consolation for Craig and Lance was the Marlin the caught and released and a nice Grouper that they had to the side of the boat before losing.

Joe Ippolito and Erika Tsouris from New York along with Sam Johnson and Chad Pedley found each other via our share board here at RedRum Sportfishing. They all knew that they wanted to fish, just couldn't afford a boat by themselves. That being said, we hooked them up and then hooked them up again with 4 Dorado and 3 Striped Marlin, two of which were "LDR's" or Long Distance Releases. Everyone got along great, despite Joe being a Jet's fan, and obviously the fishing was great. Congrats to everyone, nice meeting you all.

Tuesday update....

Well folks, we were sad to see Diana go yesterday and she will be greatly missed, but she is leaving for a good cause and we wish her well. We feel very fortunate for the time we had with her and for all the great things she did for the company.

That being said, fishing must go on. And on it did.

Steve Selby from Aspen, Colorado along with his buddies John and Shane from Pennsylvania fished with Javier and Americo today aboard Rum Runnin. Fishing the pacific side from the lighthouse to Los Arcos, Javier was able to hook them up with a Marlin and 4 Dorado.

Jim and Frances Crawford along with Dave Lecheler, all from Montana were out with Ramon today for the second of two days. After a Marlin and 12 Dorado on day 1, they followed up with a Marlin and 6 Dorado on day 2. Glad everyone got to spend some time on the rod and reel guys. Nice meeting you and hope to see you back down here next year.

Finally, our good friend Tony Guthrie formerly of Lowrance Electronics, was down with his lady Laura, their friends Dan and Kathleen Lewin and the legendery Captain Ron Hunter. Captain Alex kept everyone busy with a Dorado, a huge 200+lb Striped Marlin and 2 Sailfish.

CJ Burger did not show up to go fishing. "Food poisoning," was their excuse.
That being said, I have some ocean front property in Arizona if anyone is interested.

Diana’s Farewell
Some of you may have heard the rumor and I’m writing to confirm it is true: today is my last day at RedRum. Being that we are a tough sport fishing company I will hold back the tears but I want to let everyone know that it has been a blast. I feel so lucky to have been part of the RedRum team since last March. There’s nothing like being happy to go to work and having fun all day long. RedRum owners John, Ryan and Brooke treated me like family and always made me feel appreciated. The Captains and Mates are great guys and always lots of fun. And of course, thank you to everyone that fished with RedRum. I will be off to begin work as an English teacher in Northern Thailand at the end of the month. It’s a beautiful country that I fell in love with years ago and I am excited to be fortunate enough to go back. Wish me luck!

Mixed Batch

Jim and Val from Wisconsin fished on our 28’ Tantrum with Captain Alex and Mate Juan. They fished the Pacific side around Los Arcos and Golden Gate, two miles from shore and caught 10 twenty pound Dorado.

Jake, Luke, Chase, Whitney, Charles and Jamie from California went out on our 32’ RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Americo. They fished Los Arcos three miles from shore and caught and released 2 hundred and twenty to hundred and thirty pound Striped Marlin using live bait.

Billfish and a side of Mahi-Mahi

Donna, Kurt, Lizabeth, Andrew, April and Matthew from Louisiana went out for their first of two days fishing this week on our 33’ El Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Americo. They caught and released two fifteen pound Dorado fishing Los Arcos and caught and released a hundred and twenty pound Striped Marlin fishing the Lighthouse on the Pacific, two to three miles from shore.

Christie and Mark from New Jersey went out on our 28’ Tantrum with Captain Ramon and Mate Juan. They fished the Pacific side and caught and released a Sailfish and a Striped Marlin.

Panga Spotlight

It was a quiet thursday but we're still catching fish. The family scheduled to go out on our 33' El Nuevo unfortunately slept in today but we had a nice couple fish on one of our partner Panga boats. Ben and Monica from Brooklyn, NY and Santa Rosa, CA fished on the Pacific side close to shore and caught 3 twenty to twenty five pound Dorado and caught 1 hundred and twenty pound Striped Marlin. Not a bad day for a Panga.

Feliz Dia de Reyes!

Clear skies and the fish are finally back at it!

A fun family group from D.C. the Bursenos came and fished with Alex on El Nuevo. They weren't sure what to expect as many of them hadn't been to Cabo let alone on the Baja Waters. Off to Los Arcos they went and landed 8 Dorado. They were excited to have all their plastic bags full of their fresh catch that they're taking to get some tacos made on the beach. Hope to see you guys back down here!

A super cute friendly couple from Minnesota Megan and David were excited about getting out on the water. I wasn't sure where they were come 7 am, so I gave their hotel a call. Sure enough David answered a bit groggy and was suprised to hear it was 7 am! He soon realized they had set their alarm for pm instead of am. And here I thought it was the tequila. Any who, they had a great time with Captain Ramon on Tantrum and each reeled and released a Striped Marlin! Please send us those pics guys!

And last but not least was RumRunnin. Janice, Gerald, Ken, Melanie, Joel and David headed out with Captain Chivo and Omar filling in as mate. They had a fantastic morning getting 12 Dorado which they kept!!! The other 5 they pulled in were released, since the limit is 2 per person to keep for Dorado. They used up all their bait quickly after getting into such a mess of Dorado! Well done guys, we hope you enjoyed your day on the water and hope to see you back with RedRum.

Happy Dia De Reyes! (That is the Holiday here in Mexico on January 6th)

Hasta Luego,
Brooke

Slowly but Surely

A bit of a cloudy day here in Cabo with quite a chill this morning... well for Cabo anyways. But nothing compared to the negative temperatures I hear from clients in Canada or the Midwest. That's why you should be reading this report on a beach, not after you've shoveled your walk!

So one of the condo crews, Thomas, Gary, John, Carlie and Kenneth were back at it for day two on the water. They said even in Texas it's been chilly! Anyways, they were on El Nuevo with Captain Alex, yes, he's back from his vacation. They fished out at the Lighthouse and were able to pull in one catch and release Marlin from the surface on stitched bait.

The other group staying over at the Portofino Condos was also on their second day of fishing. Paul along with family and friends Patrick, Katherine, Belinda and Laurie were out on RumRunnin with Captain Chivo. They too fished at the Lighthouse, but found the marlin deep pitching live bait. They all took turns reeling in 2 catch and release Striped Marlin.

Our partner boat Grey Light took out Trenton from Houston. He made a last minute reservation last night and couldn't bare leaving Cabo without getting some fishing in. He was flying solo on the water after enjoying the day and night festivties that Cabo has to offer during the New Year holiday. He was stoked to catch a 98" Striped Marlin which he rleased and 1 Dorado out at the Lighthouse. On his way back in just about 2 miles from shore, the got into some Snapper, about 8 of them. Not bad for a 1/2 day!

Thanks for checking in with us. Hope everyone is having a great start to 2010!
Brooke

On a side note, the Fiesta Bowl is a sensative subject. We were sorry to see TCU loose their undefeated winning streak against Boise. The good wife that I am, stayed back along with Diana to cover for John and Ryan while they enjoyed the "Fiesta" at the Fiesta Bowl in Phoenix. Now they are off to work in Denver and Dallas. For those of you in Denver, be sure to stop by the Sportsmens Expo and say hello to John. And any Dallas Safari Club members, be sure to stop by and pay Ryan a visit. Hasta Luego.

Slow Day but not emptyhanded

Gary, Thomas, John, Charles and Kenneth went out on our 33’ El Nuevo with Captain Alex. It was quiet out but they caught a fifteen pound Dorado that they had for lunch. They fished the Lighthouse about four miles from shore.

Dave went out on our 32’ RumRunnin with Captain Omar. They fished Los Arcos about five miles from shore and caught and released a hundred and twenty pound Sailfish. Water was at seventy eight degrees.

2 boats, 8 Marlin

Jake and Kris from Idaho went out on our 32’ RumRunnin. Jake fished Cabo six years ago and described it as being more of a long boat ride. He was hesitant to book but in the end was glad he did and promised to tell all his friends about us and come back soon. Jake and Kris caught and released 6 Striped Marlin weighing between a hundred and thirty and a hundred and fifty pounds.

Stacie, Patrick and Tim from Arvada, Co went out on our 28’ Tantrum with Captain Ramon and Mate Juan. They fished Los Arcos, three miles from shore and caught and released 2 Striped Marlin weighing around a hundred and fifty pounds, each fight lasting close to forty minutes.

Dorado Day

Paul, Patrick, Katherine, Belinda and Laurie went out for their first of two scheduled fishing trips with us this week. They fished with Captain Javier on our 32’ RumRunnin and caught 3 Dorado weighing about 20 pounds and 1 Tuna that weighed about the same. They fished Golden Gate close to shore where water temperatures were at 76 degrees.

Michelle, Alex, Matt and Darryl went out on our 33’ El Nuevo with Captain Omar and caught 3 twenty to twenty five pound Dorado. They fished Migri~no on the Pacific side, two miles from shore.

Danny, Jeff and Justin from Seattle, Washington went out on our 28’ Tantrum with Captain Juan. They fished Golden Gate about a mile from shore and caught 3 fifteen to twenty pound Dorado.

Alex, Paul and Jeff went out on a Panga with Captain Carlos and fished inshore. They caught 2 twenty pound Dorado, 17 twenty pound Sierra and 1 fifteen pound Rooster.

Replogue Fishing Trips on El Nuevo, December 2009

Brian, Eric, Bryan, Mike, Howard and yes, another Bryan, went out on our 33’ El Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel on December 3rd and 4th. In total they caught 10 Dorado, 2 Striped Marlin, 2 Wahoo and a Needlefish.
