Happy Birthday Ryan!

Happy Friday to all of you!!! There isn't much to report today. Fishing was not good. We had the Jasien Family fishing with us for the first time. They were here to celebrate Lance's birthday and they were expecting to catch a Marlin as a birthday gift...that would've been awesome!!! Unfortunately, the outcome was not so good.

Captain Omar and Mate Americo were on the 32' RumRunnin fishing on the Sea of Cortez side (San Jose del Cabo) but all they came accross was waves, wind, rougher waves and stronger winds. They spotted a Marlin but he didn't bite. Today's weather was worst than yesterday's. The guys had no luck out there today.

Winds are extremley strong, as I was driving this morning from San Jose down to the office I swear my car was zig zaggin' on its own because the winds were simply very strong.

And according to the weather website, it seems as tomorrow it will be the same. I will keep you updated.

On Another note, Let's all wish Ryan Donovan a big Happy Birthday as he is out celebrating his 31st B-day today by playing golf somewhere here in Cabo San Lucas. Don't know if he has a party planned for later this evening or not. He came into the office this morning to run some errands but in the end left early....of course buddy, you should've been here in the first place, Sorry I dragged you down. 'FELIZ CUMPLEANOS Picoso! on behalf of the whole RedRum Team!

Have a nice Friday everyone,

Thanks for Reading.

WINDY WINDY WINDY

Good Morning to all.
Yesterday's fishing was ok, we only had 1 boat out. Winds have been like crazy, it started off really windy and cold in the morning then it got warm but the winds still kept blowing! They were doing 20 mph, guess how choppy the waves were?.....very choppy but still Captain Ramon and mate Omar did a very good job in helping Niel and Laura Wilson catch some fish.

This is the second day Captain ramon has been heading out 15 miles off Cerro Blanco, "The White Hill" and he's been doing great. Yesterday's catch consisted of two 20lb Dorado and a 30 Lb Mako Shark.

I am sure the Nielsons took it back to their place to get it cooked up and enjoy a nice meal!
Thank you for fishing with us guys.

On Wednesday we had a similar situation. We had 3 boats out but one of them had to come back early do to seasickness. Waves were rough!

On Rum Runnin Captain Javier and Mate Americo did a wonderful job catching 3 yellowin, the biggest one being 20Lbs. Tom and Ginna Walsh along with Jared and Mary Ann McDavit wen't out for a full day of fishing, and even though it took them a while to find our offices they still had an awesome day. They called me around 6:50 AM to ask how to get to our offices...you can imagine how hard it is when you don't actually know where your customers are at (and with no Coffee in the system.....ohh boy!) But in the end, they found us and it was a great day after all!

Another day for Tantrum hitting Cerro Blanco. Mark Hughes came in the office about to cancel since all his pals got sick a day before, but in the end decided to do it all on his own! He was like..."if I am sick I still go fishing!" That's the spirit buddy. I am glad you decided to come a long and catch some fish. On this day Tantrum and Mark caught a 20Lb Yellowfin, not bad at all!

Even though the winds are blowing strong, we are still catching fish guys! so don't be afraid to come to Cabo and enjoy a day of fishing with us.

Thanks for reading!

Rough Waves....Again

Hola Amigos!

It's always good to hear people say "we've been reading your fish reports, keep writing them" or "You're the guy who writes the fish reports, huh?" my answer is yes, why? and they answer, "oh because you talk just like you write" I had never thought I sounded like I write! but it's all good, it's just good to know you guys follow along on RedRum's Fish reports.

Waves are rough/choppy once again. It's weird that during morning hours, there is hardly any wind, but once it hits 12:30-1:00 PM that's when it becomes very windy, blowing around 15-20 mph and today was no exception. Everyone who came back today said the same thing, man it's rough out there!

I just hope this choppy condition goes by really fast!
Today we had 3 boats out.

On Nuevo, we had Sarah and Josh along with John and Ryan Donovan fishing with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel on the Pacific side by the Jaime bank. Sarah caught her first Wahoo ever! It took her 20 min to reel it in and it weighed 40Lbs. Pretty nice size and excellent job Sarah! Congrats! Josh did very good as well, he caught a 15Lbs Dorado which took a little over 15 min to reel in, I could tell they had an awesome time, although I think Sarah was a bit dizzy from the choppy waves, or so I heard ;)
You both did great, I am glad you decided to do this! They both caught and released their catch

On our 28' Tantrum Stacey Baum and Miro Pull were fishing with captain Ramon and Mate Juan. They caught a nice size Dorado during their full day trip. They went fishing by the Pacific side as well. It seems Dorado is hitting the ocean again. Glad to see this outcome!
Good job guys.

and last but not least we had Dawn Zischke, Shea Zischke, Sophia and Kevin Boyle fishing out on our 32' RumRunnin with Capatin Javier and Mate Americo. They had an awesome time but of course choppy waves struck again, so that was the only bad part. Luckily we can't get blamed for that ! =)
These folks caught 2 Dorado, brought some back to get it vacuumed sealed and frozen up for them to take back home. Hopefully they will fish with us again in the near future. Thanks guys, glad to know you had a great time!

I will keep you posted on how well fishing goes here in cabo...Land's End!

Thanks

Monday... pay day, haul some boats, and unfortunately spread some ashes

We had two boats out today and unfortunately, about a mile from the Jaime Bank the Amsterdam's who were fishing with Nuevo felt a little under the weather and needed to head back. Well, if you read yesterday's report you know that Alex and Manuel have the hot hand, and they were still able to catch a nice Dorado and a nice Yellowfin before the "muerta blanca" or white death as the boys call sea-sickness reared it's ugly head and called it a day for El Nuevo RedRum.

Paul Cannon and his lovely wife Jean, are down from Chicago and they joined us for a day on Rum Runnin today. Before they even pulled out of the marina, a transmission cable snapped and they had to limp back to the dock. Oh the joys of boat ownership, luckily it's a quick fix, but we had to send Payl and Jean out with one of our partner boats, Fish Tales. They had a good day on the water, and while the action wasn't non-stop for them, they did get to haul in a nice Striped Marlin.

TantRum was hauled back into the water this morning by yours truly after needing a patch in the bottom of the boat. Out on Saturday and back in the water by Monday morning. Might be a new record for gettting something accomplished in Cabo.

Finally, on a sadder note. Long time Team RedRum member Omar Ruiz lost a younger brother to kidney disease last week. While his brother fought the disease hard for many years, he was finally called on to end the fight. Today the extended Ruiz family boarded Rum Runnin, along with his brothers panga and headed out to the arch to spread his ashes where he enjoyed so many days. Say a little prayer for a great fisherman that today is finally resting at his most favorite place in the world.

-Ryan

Sunday session...

Great day in Cabo San Lucas and an awesome day out on the water. The winds were up around 15-20 knots close to shore, but the Captains and Mates said that out at Jaime Bank where they were fishing the weather was great.

Two boats made the journey out to Jaime, while the RedBeam decided to fish a little closer to shore. Unfortunately, that was the kiss of death for RedBeam. They didn't make the run, as they were afraid the seas might be too rough out there. They stayed closer to shore and had a slow day. Cesar did get Dennis Barlett hooked up at the end of the day but the Marlin spit the hook pretty quickly after striking the dead bait (caballito.)

The Rowland crew that was down from the Houston Chapter of the Coastal Conservation Association had a great day on the water to finish up their Cabo adventure. While the ladies decided to stay back and do a little shopping, the guys hammered the fish out at Jaime Bank. They got into 3 different species of fish which always makes for a killer day and even better dinner. When they got back to the Marina the guys had 4 Dorado flags, a Yellowfin Tuna flag and a Wahoo flag flying. From the looks of it, Alex and Manuel were happy to have El Nuevo back in the water after dropping the new engine in and quickly knocked the rust off the boat.

Not to be outdone were the fearsome foursome of Javier, Americo, Ray and Bob Young. This was Ray and Bob's fourth and final day on the water until they come back in November, (most likely with Brad and Steve in tow.) Well while the fishing had been slow pretty much all year, Ray and Bob's good luck and good vibes seemed to have been the best medicine for Cabo as they had four great days of fishing. I thought they were pulling my leg when they came back flying the exact same flags as the crew on El Nuevo RedRum, but they weren't. The guys on Rum Runnin' also made the run to Jaime Bank and caught 4 Dorado, a Yellowfin, and a nice Wahoo.

Two out of three boats with 3 different species.... YEAH!!! Finally!!!

Lookin' Good

Alright, so this is how we did yesterday while fishing once again in strong winds and rough waves. Even though it was choppy we managed to catch fish for our customers who were more than excited to go out fishing...a bit hesitant, but excited!

After his first day of fishing for half a day, Joseph Coote and his son Ryan decided to go out once again but on a bigger boat and for a full day. He was supposed to go out on a 31' but the boat had some problems in the morning and we switched him to our 32' RumRunnin. Morning started off pretty good as they caught 2 dorado while fishing with Captain Omar and Mate Americo. In the end the wait was worth it. Thanks guys, hope to see you soon again.

Up for a second day we had Robert Fitzgerald and his peeps were on Ziggy with captain Manuel and mate Alex fishing out by the Jaime Bank. They did awesome out there, caught a 230Lb Striped Marlin which was around 10Ft2"! super cool guys, but not only did they reel this in, they also caught 5 yellowfin and 1 dorado. What a great way to end a fishing trip. They took some fish back to a restaurant to have it cooked. THanks for coming guys, hope to see you real soon.

Mike Murphy and lady Michelle decided to join the fun as well. They wen't out with Captain Cesar and Mate Ramon aboard our 32' RedBeam and even though the morning was pretty slow, in the end Michelle got a chance to catch and release a 109" striped Marlin all on her own. It took around 40 minutes to reel it in, but she was able to do it. Good job Michelle!!!! So glad you guys decided to fish with us, and you know were are always here to help out!

Another awesome couple fishing with RedRum was Mark and Janice Finley. Mike had an awesome day but Janice wasn't so lucky....lets just say the waves were too rough and made her bump her head....so sorry!!! but in the end they were very excited for catching fish. They caught a 60Lb Wahoo (yummy) and 3 yellowfin. All of this by Jaime bank with Captain Salvador from Anzuelo. We vacuum sealed and froze their fish as fast as we coule because they left today.
Thanks for coming guys and for recommending RedRum Sportfishing!

We had another boat out but due to the choppy weather, they had to come back in. They will be fishing with us again tomorrow, so maybe the water condition will be much more friendly!

I will keep you informed.

Thanks, nick

Rough Waves!

Hi Guys, choppy/rough waves all day in Cabo yesterday, it was sunny but very windy, winds were blowing 18 mph and waves were between 4-6 ft high.

On Rum Runnin we had Lee Jacobson fishing with us with Captain Javier and Mate Americo. They fished around Jaime bank and came back with 6 Dorado. Unfortunately since they were on a cruise ship they were not able to take it back with them, but these guys gave the fish to our crew. Thanks guys!! Nice meeting you!

For their second day of fishing we Had Ronald Weiner and his crew hop on the 33' Sol Mar 7. They fished for a full day and when they came back to the office, they were all very exicited to have caught 2 striped Marlin. Very good guys in total these guys caught 3 Marlin including their first day's catch! Thanks for coming with RedRum Guys!

Our other boats weren't so lucky out in the ocean. One of those boats had to come in early because they got seasick. Waves are rough out there! and it has been very chilly all day long here in cabo.

I will keep you posted with what we catch today.

Thanks for reading.

Today has been an awesome day here in Cabo. We've been catching Marlin and Dorado, weather is nice, a bit windy, but nice, water temperture is 75F, waves are 6 ft and winds blowing 20 mph from the West

We had 7 boats out today and we did great!
On RumRunnin we had George Frank and his buds fishing for a full day 27 miles off the light house. They reeled in a 120 LB. Marlin...nice catch!!!

On Anzuelo we had Randy Pinckney fishing on his own for a full day charter and he was a lucky guy! he reeled in 1 Marlin, 2 Yellowfin and 1 dorado off by the Jaime Bank. Great job buddy!

We also had Robert Fitzgerald and his crew fishing out on Ziggy today for their first day of a Stay and Play package and even though they had a slow morning, they were able to reel a 140 LB Striped Marlin while heading back to the Marina. Captain Manuel and Mate Alex did a good job.

on Cabo Chica we had Ted Jaconson and his mates also out for a full day of fishing and they came back with 3 Dorado. They were gonna get those fixed up for later tonight and had an awesome time. They came to the office really happy and praised Captain Ricardo!

And last but not least Jake White and his budd Buck were fishing on our 32' RedBeam and reeled in another Marlin! Great job guys!

We are glad fish are biting again after a slow season. If you dont' beleive it, come check it out! We can't guarantee you will catch fish, but you will have one heck of a good time!

Thanks for Reading!

Monday 4/19

Another absolutely beautiful day in Cabo San Lucas. Light cloud coverage on an otherwise wonderfully sunny day, water temps in the mid-70's and smooth as glass water conditions.

Both groups of clients were here before 6am, chomping at the bit so to speak to get out on the water for a great day with TantRum and Rum Runnin.

Brent and Amy Sullivan stopped by on Sunday and we talked about their time here in Cabo and how they were so tired of talking to different companies that wanted to take them fishing. They were given all types of deals and enticements and promises and seemed drained from the whole ordeal. Then they told me they were recommended by a past client and I had to ask why they didn't just come to RedRum in the first place. Nonetheless, they had a great day with Ramon and Juan on TantRum, and while they only were able to hook one nice Dorado, they had plenty of action.

Next up was Lyle Fruchey who came down to fish with his two young sons. The boys were super excited for their day on the water and while we tried to keep them busy with some Sierra or Roosterfish in the morning, they wanted to catch something BIG instead. Javier headed out to where he found the Dorado on Sunday, 10-15 miles straight out from Cabo and they landed another very nice Dorado. The boys came back into the office at the end of the day for some RedRum hats and croakies, to show off to all their friends back home.

-Ryan

Sunday session...

Awesome Sunday in Cabo today... Weather is amazing right now. Starting to warm up but not crazy hot. No need for the sweatshirt in the morning anymore. Bright and sunny and folks are going fishing, what could be better.

First off the docks were Merle and Mary Stubbs. We won't talk about their favorite college football team, but other than that, good people and we were very happy to have met them. They joined Juan and Ramon on TantRum today and had a good day chasing billfish near the 1150 bank. After several presentations to several fish, they hooked up and caught a very nice Striped Marlin. Congrats on your first Marlin Merle!

Ray Young and his fine crew from Belfast, Maine were back at it again today with Javier and Americo. They headed about 10-15 miles straight out from Cabo and found some frigate birds working some bait. They were all over it, catching two really nice Mahi Mahi that will be an excellent pairing with some of Ray's famous Belfast, Maine Lobsters. If you ever have the itch for a nice New England Lobster Dinner, Ray and his family can send you live or pre-cooked Lobster overnight via Fed-ex. Just google Ray Young's Lobster Farm and go from there.

Finally, we had Scott Trainor, Ivy Rodgers and John Baumgartner who found out about us from some clients at the Riu. This trio wasn't sure they wanted to get up at the crack of dawn so they joined us for a half-day starting at 10am and unfortunatey missed the morning bite. They still had a great day on the water with lots of action and sea life.

Back to Basics!

Hi Guys,

Guess we are back to how it was in the begining. We weren't so lucky today. We only had 1 boat out and our customers did not do too good. Captain Jesus and Mate Juan did everything they could to catch some fish but they just weren't biting. These customers, whose name I will not reveal, even brought in different tests to avoid our guys from getting their lures on with knots. Still there weren't many fish out there to try this new technique.

They fished for a full day and the only thing they saw were Pelikans, Seals and Dolphins...not what a fisherman is actually looking for. I blame the wind, we have winds blowing 20 mph which are making waves go 6 -7 ft high, it's very choppy out there.

Yesterday we only caught a Mako Shark on 2 boats we had out. The Youngs, who caught the mako, will be fishing with us again tomorrow so maybe they will have better luck.

in the meantime, enjoy your saturday and I will keep you posted.

Thanks
Nick

Marlin, Marlin and more Marlin.

Hi Guys,

TGIF!! sorry I did not post yesterday's fish report earlier, things got a little busy in the office.
Fishing as you may have read from the last post is picking up every day. This whole week we caught a Marlin each day which is great after a long time of no fish.

Water temperture is 75F winds blowing 15mph, we have medium waves today, evern though yesterday's were choppy. And it's 86F. Not too hot nor cold, just right!

So on to the fish Report.
On Wednesday April 14th we had 4 boats fishing out on both sides of Baja, The Sea of Cortez and The Pacific.

On a Panga we had Rojo Goodwin fishing for his second day. And after reeling in 1 Marlin on day 1 he caught 6 sierras on the 14th but was not so lucky yesterday. Yesterday was his last day fishing with us but he left very happy. Hope he joins us again!

From the famous Sharelist we were able to arrange a fishing charter for Edward and Leslie Miller along with James and Simon Halbur. They had an awesome time out there, they were very exicited because they caught 2 Marlin and 1 Dorado. Simon (16 Yrs Old) was really looking forward to catch a Dorado and it happend! It took him 15-20 mins to reel him in. Great job buddy! Edward and Leslie caught one of the Marlin and just had a great time with us. Leslie is even thinking of buying a place here in Cabo! hopefully Leslie!!!!

We also had another 28' Anzuelo out in the water wigh Matt Johnson and Tim Wetzsteont. These guys after a full day of fishing also reeled in 1 Marlin and 1 Dorado. They weren't really sure what they had to do with it. They had a great time. Hope to see them again soon.

Yesterday we had Brian Brumfield and Darlene Bonis out for half a day of fishing and they came back with 2 Marlin!! Thye were fishing with Captain Javier and Mate Americo. They had an awesome time.

**** I need to apologize to Brian Brumfield for typing incorrect information regarding his trip with Ms. Darlene Bonis. And I hope this did not cause any trouble.*****

Lets just hope I don't jinx the fishermen out there, but I am so exicted that fish are coming back. We haven't caught any yellowfin since April 3rd, but as long as we have Marlin and Dorado everyday that's fine by us....

Thanks for reading, I will let you guys know how fishing is today!

Have a great day!

Marlin are back!

Fishing is defintely gettin' better! We've caught a Marlin every day since Monday. But I don't want to jinx our fisherman!!! (knock on wood)

Anyhow, fishing has been picking up pretty good these last few days after going through a fish fast practically the first two weeks of April. Yesterday we had 2 boats out and they did an awesome job out there.

On Tantrum we had "Red" Goodwin and Sylvia fishing out for their 1st day out of 3 and came back with a Marlin. "Rojo" as he wanted us to call him, is an awesome down to earth guy and is very excited about the whole fishing trip. He did a great job reeling the Marlin in. He will be on a Panga on Wednesday and out on Tantrum again on Thursday. I will let you know how he did

On Rum Runnin we had Terry Banning, Laura Meyers, Maria Howard and Charles Meyers coming down from San Marcos California and Los Angeles. These folks fished for a full day, came back very excited about their fishing trip because they reeled in 5 Dorado the biggest one being 55 LBS!! that's a big fish and a 50 Lb Mako Shark. Laura needed Charles to help her out because she got a bad blister from reeling it in but they did an awesome job. Great people and very cheerful.

I am glad they came along and we will see them again next May.

So it seems Marlin is back in the Cabo Oceans finally! after a long wait "they're here"

I'll keep you posted to see what else we catch in the upcoming days.

Thanks for reading.

Monday's results...

Today was a beautiful day, as April usually is here in Cabo. A slight breeze picked up in the afternoon, but nothing too crazy. The guys fished the Pacific, water temps were in the high 70's and they pulled spreader bars, plastic artificials and live bait Caballito.

Steve Davies and Rod Schick were out for their 4th and final day on the water with us today with Javier on Rum Runnin'. Steve has fished with us many times in the past and always had great success, but this trip the fish definitely won the battle. They pitched bait to several Marlin and even a Dorado, but just couldn't get the fish to bite. Steve said he would be back later this year and Rod is coming back in July. They told me that Javier did everything he could, they just chalked it up to fishing. Fellas, we really appreciate your business and understanding that sometimes, even in Cabo San Lucas, it really is FISHING and not CATCHING. It is clients like y'all that make this the best job in the world.

On TantRum today we had the mysterious, Robert and Kelly Lee. The recently married duo sent a request to fish under one name and a deposit under Kelly's maiden name. They had Nick and I confused like a beast in the office for a week or so. Anyway, once we realized that Finkle was Einhorn, we got everything set up for them to have a great day on the water. They started off inshore and had a blast catching 5 or 6 Sierra before heading offshore and catching a nice 104" Striped Marlin. Congrats on the great day guys and come back and see us soon.

-Ryan

Sunday Funday...

Today we had some really fun people fishing with us, and I always say, when you show up with a good attitude in the morning, you are going to have a great day on the water.

Our first charter was Wilson Hunt, who was down from Houston, Texas. Wilson fished with his better half and a few friends on Pescado III on Friday, but todays charter was all about Wilson. He had Marlin on his mind and wanted to make sure they got one. Wilson fished with Juan and Ramon on TantRum and had a great day. They actually spotted several Marlin and pitched a lot of bait before finally getting one to bite. Wilson caught and released a nice 150lb class Striped Marlin and he had it to the boat in 45 minutes or so. Nice to have met you Wilson and hopefully we will see you back here soon.

Next up was Gary Romano and 4 of his good friends from California. Gary is a boat owner himself and he really wanted to spend the day learning about fishing from the guys that do it everyday. He wanted to know about knot-tying, lure placement, pitching live bait, etc. Which brings up a great point, if any of you all ever want a tutorial on what the guys are doing, they are more than happy to show you. Gary had a great time with Americo, his crew saw a ton of sea life, but just couldn't get anything to stick when they did get bites.

Finally we had Heather Beaulieu down from Kirkland, Washington. She has fished with us in the past and was all set to fish by herself during this vacation but she met 3 guys on the plane that wanted to fish as well, but just hadn't figured out with whom yet. Well, we are certainly happy that Heather told them about RedRum and I am sure they are happy they met Heather. They had a great day on the water with 5 Sierra early and 2 Striped Marlin a little later in the day.

All the fishing was done on the Pacific, past the Lighthouse at Margharita. Water temps were in the high 70's and live Caballito was used for both the Sierra and Marlin.

Here...fishy...fishy...fishy !!

Hi everyone.
Once again we haven't been too lucky out in the oceans. Believe us guys, if there was a button to make those fish come in and bite, we would've pushed it years ago! unfortunately our button broke down =)

Today was sort of a good day for our friends who were fishing on Tantrum along with Captain Omar and Mate Juan. They were fishing off by Margarita Bay and came back to the office after a full day with 9 Sierra, 2 Jack Grevalle and 1 Snapper. Bill Baxter and Jim Lewis are very cool guys who understand that fishing has been slow but still decided to give it a try and well they did pretty good.

These guys didn't come back to the office after their day of fishing but they told me yesterday that if they caught something, they would take it to a restaurant to get it cooked up. We suggested Misiones de Kino because they have a variety of ways to cook the fish up. Hopefully, they will go there. In the meantime, thank you guys for fishing with us, we hope you enjoyed the day.

We had another boat out but it wasn't lucky, these guys did not catch anything and well it can be quite frustrating to come fishing for several days and not being able to catch what you're looking for. These are very cool guys and we really wanted them to catch something you know.

Hopefully their luck will change in the next few days.

Weather here in Cabo is warm with some clouds, mild waves, I would say humidity is about 20% but not that bad and winds blowing around 15-20 mph.

Maybe we will have better luck tomorrow.

Thank you all for reading and for being great customers, we value and appreciate all of you.

Thanks
Nick

Back to NADA!

Don't know why, we did good yesterday after the two Marlin....but no fish was spotted today.
A lot of squid though and whales!

Waters are warm, winds are blowing 15-20 mph, Caballito is being used as the main bait, but that seems not to matter right now, as it seems that the Pacific and Sea of Cortez, along with the fish have gone on strike.

We had two boats out today, and didn't catch a thing.
Funny comment a person said was...Fishing is like Marriage, it has its up and downs and it's a pain! as being a single person I really wouldn't know but I am sure he is right, that's the way life rolls in may different situations.

So maybe by tomorrow I will have great news. In the meantime all of you enjoy this day and remember to keep reading our posts and sending in your pictures.

Thanks!

Javier found some Marlin!

Today we had 4 charters on the books, but only had 3 groups show up. That 4th group definitely missed out on some great action, as Javier and Cesar found the fish today. Ulyses didn't really get a chance to find the fish, but we'll get to that later.

Water temps are still very warm, mid to high 70's, and Caballito is still the predominent bait being sold and the guys are trolling cedar plugs and hoochies for the Tuna, big lures in a variety of colors for Marlin and using live bait for the inshore species.

David Gregg is down from Solana Beach, California... right near my old stomping grounds. Congrats to David as his youngest daughter is getting married here in Los Cabos this weekend. David brought a group from the wedding party over to fish for the day with Ramon and Javier. Unfortunately, a few people had trouble getting down here so Ramon and Juan on TantRum got left out of the action today.

Javier headed out with David and a few of his friends and they had a great day on the water. The guys headed straight out from Cabo or El Zero as they like to call it and found some good water and action about 15 miles out. They fished the area and were rewarded with 2 Marlin that they got to the boat and another that they lost. Great day for David and his friends and hard work by Javier and Americo.

The other group we had today was the folks from ICore. They had two boats today, the 31' Grey Light and the 32' RedBeam. Unfortunately, the guys on Grey Light with Ulyses felt a little under the weather once they got out to the fishing grounds so they had to turn around and cut their day short. The guys on RedBeam, however, did a little better. Cesar put the guys on some fish right off the bat with some inshore fishing for Sierra. After 12 or so Sierra, they headed offshore and were able to catch and release a nice HammerHead Shark.

Great day overall for the RedRum crews!

Sierras in Cabo.

Hi there Everybody! Hope you are all doing fine!
We have very nice weather today here in Cabo. We are in the high 80*F, winds blowing between 5-10mph, not that bad at all and it's not choppy out there, so that helps prevent people from getting seasick, even though I heard one of our group did have to come in early because of this.

Today, we had 4 boats out. Initially it was only 3 but we had a walk in customer at 6:30 AM and he decided to come aboard and join the fun for half day.

On our 28' Tantrum, along with Captain Ramon and Mate Juan, we had Jesse Krueger and Scott Briles fishing out in the pacific side today. Biting has still been a bit slow. There has been Marlin spotted by they are just not biting. Anyhow, Scott and Jesse came back to the dock with 1 Sierra.

I was expecting the bite to be better this week, but I guess I still have to keep my fingers crossed, but hey, it's barely Tuesday, maybe by tomorrow we will have something better.

On Pescado III we had John Cronen, Randy Skarda and their kids fishing on this nice 42' and after fishing for half a day. They reeled in 8 Sierra's. The kids always have a blast when fishing, they really don't mind catching something small...they just want to catch something! Good Job guys!

From California we had father and son Paul and Luke Forgay fishing on our 32' RedBeam. After a hard day trying to go after Marlin, and then Tuna, and then Sierra they ended their journey with only 1 sierra. But it was a good catch anyways. I mean that's why the saying goes: "A bad day of fishing still beats a good day working" Thanks for coming along guys!

And last but not least on our 32' Rum Runnin, with Captain Javier and Mate Americo, we had Brian Graves fishing alonside his friends Tina, Todd, Trey and Lauren McDonald and son little Alex...or "Alejandro" as he calls him fishing out on a full day charter. They did good out there, reeled in 14 Sierra and were going to get it cooked up in Misiones de Kino. They wanted to get different kinds of dishes and give them all a try.
Enjoy your meal guys!

Happy Easter to all!

Hi Guys,

Another slow day in cabo. There really isn't much to report today either (unfortunately).
Our Navy guys David, Tyler and Cassidi wen't out on Rum Runnin' for their last day of fishing and came back with 11 Yellowfin. They wen't out with Captain Alex and Mate Americo.
THey headed out 38 miles out and spotted 2 Marlins but they did not bite.
Today's fishing was done mostly by the Jaime Bank. That's where we were also told the yellowfin were spotted.

David, Tyler and Cassidi learned how to vaccum seal the fish, they are heading off tomorrow and offered to help vaccum seal so they could take it back with them. A lot of fish they are taking back home I must say. They were our lucky group this week and very awesome people. Hopefully we will see them again in the near future
Since they had a lot of fish they needed 2 coolers to take it back home! Safe Flight guys

On Tantrum we had Sean Russell and Beth Piantidosi who after a full day of fishing, came back with 2 Sierra. They did not stop by but I heard they had a great time.

and on a cruise/snorkeling trip we had Steve Leveroni and his crew who decided to start their trip at 10. They had an awesome day with Capt. Mike Powell. They had taken this trip last year, so they are familiar and decided to do it again this year.
Hopefully we'll see more of them in the upcoming months.

Happy Easter to all and have a great weekend!

Not Much To Report

Hey guys, hope everyone is enjoying this day. I know a lot of people got the day off, so I really hope you make the best of it.

Things in cabo are very calm, not a lot going on in the streets, but I am pretty sure the beaches are packed with people who came down to enjoy some time off work!

Fishing began really good this week but started to decline as we approached mid week. Today we had 4 boats out but only 2 of them were able to catch fish.

On Tantrum Captain Ramon and Mate Juan were waiting at the Main Dock for Jim and Michelle Freas who got off a cruiser to fish for a few hours. They reeled in a HammerHead Shark. They were out on the Sea of Cortez and along their patch they came accross this shark.
Jim and Michelle are very nice friendly people, I hope they enjoyed their trip and come back soon.

On Rum Runnin our Navy Friends, David, Cassidi, Chris and new member Tyler wen't out to catch more fish and after a full day fishing, starting off with a couple of hours doing inshore and then heading out offshore, they managed to reel in 2 Dorado. Tomorrow will be their last day fishing and maybe they'll catch something more! I will keep you posted.

Winds are blowing at 10-15mph and the temperture is 79F. It's not that windy but I guess yesterday's wind did have an impact in today's fishing outcome.

Tomorrow will be another day and with more chances of a longer fish report.

Thanks for reading...Nick

Very Windy Day

Hey Everybody, today was a very day here in Cabo San Lucas, we had winds blowing at 25mph so you can imagine what the outcome in fishing was...not too good. It wasn't bad either, or at least not for the people who came fishing and caught fish!

We had Bruce Weaver for a second day of fishing on the 32' RedBeam. They headed out towards the 95 bank and only reeled in 2 yellowfin. Bruce and his crew had fished with us on Sunday and that day they did 1 mako shark. Thanks guys, hope to see you again real soon.

On a half day trip we had Jonathan Rosenfeld, Roberto, Lisa and toddler Max on the 28' Anzuelo II. Jonathan came by yesterday while jogging and decided to ask information on a fishing trip, he went back to talk to his family about it and decided to go fishing. Lisa reeled in a Hammerhead, not sure how big it was but that is awesome Lisa!!! and not only that, they also reeled in 2 Rooster, 7 Trigger and 1 Gabrilla. They caught a bit of everything. They only did Inshore fishing but had a great day out in the water. I hope to see you guys again soon.

And finally we had Daniel Felland and his girlfriend Mandy coming off a cruise ship to get on a Panga. They were delayed just a bit, but still had plenty of time to catch and release 3 Rooster fish. Very good guys, hope you had an awesome time!

The rest of our boats weren't so lucky and did not catch anything. But thank you all for fishing with RedRum. We had a total of 5 boats out today. The weather was warm...78F. Hopefully by tomorrow, things will be getting better.

I will keep you posted.
