Monday's Marlin Round-up

Today was a beautiful day on the water, as the winds from yesterday were long gone. Everyone reported super smooth seas with just enough breeze to make it enjoyable out there. Water temps have stayed in the mid to high 70's and the bait fisherman are even starting to sell a few Mackeral. For those of you that don't know, when the Mackeral arrive each year it usually is a sign that we'll start catching more and more Marlin.

Alfred Menard and his wife Vickie from Starks, Louisiana joined us today aboard TantRum. An avid Bass fisherman back in the States, Alfred was really looking forward to battling something bigger than 10 lbs. Well, we certainly took care of that! Juan and Ramon pitched bait to several fish before the fish of a lifetime for Alfred, took the bait. Alfred did battle with a huge Striped Marlin, a much bigger fish than we normally catch here (striped marlin speaking) that was in the 240lb class. Alfred and Vickie couldn't say enough about how great the crew was and they are even looking into a replica of Alfred's "fish of a lifetime."

Dan Banales, his sons Chad and Jason and Chad's fiance Cheryl joined the guys on ReelRum today in search of some Marlin as well. It didn't take long for Captain Jesus to get the guys hooked into a nice 120lb Striped Marlin. While they spotted several more fish througout the day, the first fish was the only one interested in eating the bait.

Finally, we had the Shank family aboard El Nuevo RedRum. Alan, Kelly, Ilene and Jim had a phenominal day on the water, each able to catch and release a Striped Marlin. It's not often that everyone on the boat gets to catch their own Marlin, but today was one of those lucky days for the Shanks. Alex and Manuel were the Captain and Mate today and they did a great job getting everyone hooked up.

HURRICANE DARBY WILL NOT HIT CABO! so pack your bags and fly to Cabo!!!!! come join the fun with all of us!

Yesterday's trip with Captain Ramon and Mate Juan on Tantrum wen't very good as Ryan Avedisian and his pals fished the pacific. These folks from Fresno Cali, did a great job in reelin' in 1 Dorado and C&R a Striped Marlin. Awesome guys who enjoyed a trip a lot!

Father and Son Jim & Matt Philips went fishing on RedBeam along with Captain Cesar and Mate Ramon. After several phone calls Jim agreed to do a private charter instead of a shared one...it was a bit hard to find a match. These guys who are also from Fresno, finished their day with a 150 Lbs Striped Marlin! Nice job..keep on rockin'!

Jack Lahger and his party of 13 fished with us on ReelRum, Grey Light and RumRunnin. Jack is John's nephew and Ryan's Cousin. These gentlemen had a superb day out with RedRum ended up with a total of 10 Yellowfin Tuna and 2 Striped Marlin. NICE!!!

Greeting from Cabo!

Hey people we're back and doing better than ever. As you might know (if you came fishing with us in this month) fishing has been awesome! we've been striking Marlin, Tuna and Dorado mostly. Other fish such as Rooster and Skipjack are also biting but not as hard as the first 3. The weather here in Cabo is superb! nice and warm. Sea temperatures are above 70F meaning that there are plenty of fish in the ocean =)

Of course there are some boats which did not come back with anything but they still enjoyed the ride and they did mention that it was because the fish were not biting too well, our crew worked very hard and its good that you guys are aware of this. It's funny but one of our customers, who was not so lucky, came back with a smile in his face and said: "It started slow...and it got slower" we started laughing because we thought his answer was going to be it started slow but it got better, this was something that just had to go on the fish report.

Something that made me burst into laughter was the fact the a person walked in asking for information to go out fishing and after a small talk he asks me if I'm Cuban....don't know where he got that idea from I mean, I know I am a latino (Mexican-American) but Cuban??? I don't think I look like one LOL, just thought I'd share that with ya'll.

On Nuevo we had Stan Rosenberg and his party of 6 fishing with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel. These guys from Colorado and Texas reeled in their max. number allowed of Tuna...18! so you can imagine how packed they took off today when they came to pick it up! they enjoyed everything and had an awesome time. They fished on the Pacific side passed the arches.

Troy Meyers wen't out on RedBeam with Captain Cesar and Mate Ramon, unfortunately their trip was cut short because of what we call "Muerte Blanca" or White Death basically reffering too seasickness =), even though they came back early they did reel in 1 Marlin by the lighthouse! nice going!

Randy McConville and his party were out with Captain Javier and Mate Omar on RumRunnin and after a full day of fishing and a slow morning they ended up reelin in 15 yellowfin tuna a 1 Marlin. Not bad at all. They decided to take the fish to get it cooked up somewhere they know. Hope they enjoyed the meal! Thanks guys!

On the 53' Joel Fortney, who is getting married today, went out for a full day with all his pals for one of the last trip with the guys before he says the big I DO. Congrats on the weddding by the way, so these guys had an awesome time with Captain Mike aboard Missing Lenk, perfect boat for a special event. They came back with 2 yellowfin tuna. Awesome and don't get cold feet!!

and last but not least we had Dennis Garcia, Jeff and Steve DelaCruz on a panga for 5 hours. The Panga is named Killer. These guys cambe back with 1 Marlin and 2 Skipjacks.

Will keep you updated with what goes on in Cabo!!!

Return of the Rutherford's....

Today we had the return of the Rutherford's. The Rutherford and Dickey clans were back at it today, minus a few of the young grandchildren who opted to stay home with Grandma Sandra. I love fishing as much as the next guy, but I can't blame these little munchkins. If Sandra was my grandma, I would have no problem skipping a day on the water to hang out with her by the pool. What a wonderfully sweet woman.

That being said, most of the clan wanted to head out in search of some Tuna. Of the 3 boats, 2 made a long run up towards the Golden Gate Bank, came back towards the Jaime Bank and finally fished the Lighthouse Bank as well. After spotting 3 different schools of Porpoise, the Captains and Clans decided Tuna weren't in the cards and tried their luck with some Marlin. 1 Marlin was brought in. Grandpa Johnny was the smart one today, was their ever any doubt, as he and his boat decided to fish the Sea of Cortez where they got two random Tuna hook-ups and 2 catch and release Marlin. True to form, Grandpa was the provider today, bringing home some real nice filets from the 2 Yellowfin he caught. Can't wait to see you guys back down here in the fall! oh, and give Sandra a big hug for me in case I don't get to see her before I leave.

Karloff Talorda and Margharita, his lovely wife, joined us today for their first time offshore fishing. Celebrating their 1st anniversary, they were really excited to get out on the water. So excited, in fact, that they were here before 5am, not sure of how long it would take to get to the Marina. Unfortunately, they spent more time waiting for their charter this morning than they did on the water. They weren't feeling too well and hour into the trip and came back around 8am. Next time maybe try some of that amazing sea-sickness medicine, Scopace.

Monday's Marlin Report

Today was Marlin, Marlin and more Marlin. The Stripers decided to wake up today with everyboat catching at least one fish. The Marlin have not been all that hungry recently, so it was nice to see them liven up a bit and start to take some of the live bait we threw their way.

Dick Belch, Alan Golebiewski, his brother Rick Golebiewski and John Powell joined the guys on ReelRum today and they were able to get one nice Marlin to the boat for some pictures. These guys are headed back out on Thursday to see if we can get a few more fish to the boat.

Had a chance to meet Scott Gorczyca and his lovely new bride today and they are awesome people. Someone wasn't thrilled about getting up at 5:30am, not naming names, but she was a trooper and ended up having a great day on the water. Scott came in to tell me how impressed he was with both crews he fished with this week, and even though the fishing was tough, he said the guys busted their butts. Music to my ears! The Gorczyca's landed a nice 6 foot Mako shark today, which they shared graciously with the crew, the rest we vacuum sealed for them to take back and share with their friends in Arizona. Hope to see you guys back down here soon!

Judy Knight and Steve Stivaly fished with us last year and they had such a good time they came back again this year, all the way from New Jersey. Today they fished with Ramon and Juan from TantRum and they caught and released a nice Marlin and also landed a Dorado. Hope to see you again next year guys!

Russell Landry and his boys Adam and Jarryd were down for a Father/Son fishing trip and they stumbled upon RedRum Sportfishing. Russell said he was tired of being pitched bait from every coyote on the Marina and was happy with our "all inclusive" pricing and up front information. The Landry's had a great day on the water catching and releasing 2 Striped Marlin. The Landry's loved their crew, and said they would definitely be back.

Finally, we had the Rutherford/Dickey crew. Too many names to mention, but basically it we had a couple John's, a few Tracie's, and a plethora of Sandra's grandkids. Sandra and Johnny stayed with us on a Play and Stay last year and may even be back for another this year, but this time around they needed a private home for the massive family reunion/fathers day trip they took. How cool is it when a whole extended family can come down together and fish for a few days. The families split up on three different boats and everyone got into the Marlin. They'll be back at it tomorrow, for round two, in search of some Tuna nonetheless for dinner.

Sunday Sportfishing

Sunday was a beautiful day in Cabo and when El Nuevo got back in the afternoon, it looked like things had really picked up out on the water. Water temps were in the low 70's on the Pacific and in the high 70's on the Sea of Cortez.

We had two boats out today, Larry and Garry Bartgis on TantRum and Doug Drennan's crew on El Nuevo RedRum.

Larry and Garry were looking for action of any type, but were interested in starting the day off with some Rooster fishing. Ramon and Juan were their Captain and Mate for the day and they got into the Roosters early. After hooking a nice 25lb Rooster right off the bat, they had a hard time getting any more fish to bite. Larry and Garry thought, as most anglers would, that they were set for a great day on the water with such an early hook-up. Unfortunately, the Roosters didn't cooperate and neither did the Marlin, Tuna, and Dorado the rest of the day.

Douglas Drennan and his guys from Louisiana, enjoying one of our Stay and Play Packages, had their second day on the water today and they had an awesome day. The guys got into the fish early and often and everyone got some time on the rod and reel. They finished the day with 2 catch and release Marlin, 2 Dorado, and 4 Yellowfin Tuna. They headed over to Solomon's Landing to get the fish cooked into an amazing dinner.

Welcome Baja Brigade: Adam, Adan & Jonathan

Hi guys!
an early Happy Father's Day to all those dad's out there! I hope you all have an awesome day tomorrow with your loved ones!

Yesterday was a great day here in Cabo, nice hot weather, abundand sunshine, winds were good and the waves were just perfect!

We had 4 boats out yesterday all with awesome people who came fishing from different parts of the States. We had folks from Louisiana, Kentucky, Florida...basically all around! and they all did very good out there!

From CCA Louisiana we had Douglas Drennan along with his pals taking our 33' Nuevo for their first fishing trip out by the Sea Of Cortez where they spotted several fish and reeled in 1 Marlin that our crew said as about 120-130 Lbs. These gentlement will be staying at the Portofino Condos and will be fishing again tomorrow. Maybe they'll reel in even more fish, right?

Scott Gorczyca, Steve, Derrekk and Mr. Williams fished with Captain Omar and Mate Americo on the 32' RumRunnin. Unfortunately one of their members did not make it to their first fishing trip but I am sure he will be included in the second round on Monday. These guys had to walk a lot to get to our office as they were dropped of in another point all the way around the Marina...many of you might remember the Main Dock??? some of you have also walked this road a few times LOL!
During their full day of fishing and after a very awesome day out in Baja Waters, they reeled in a 250 Lbs Marlin...and yes...Scott was tired! it took a while before Mr. Marlin decided to give in.
Let's see how they do on Monday!

GOOOOOOOOOOOO FROGS!!!!!!!! TCU member Matt Voegler came fishing with his crew for a 1/2 day aboard Fish Tails. They were excited about going out on this trip with RedRum and by the end of their 5 hour trip they had a 125 Striped Marlin...SUPER COOL!!! go frogs!

Last but not least we had a shared boat with Mark and Russell Hoppes and Nova and James Connor. These guys wen't out on our 28' Tantrum along with Captain Ramon and Mate Juan. The Hoppes and Connor, together, reeled in a 120 Lbs Marlin. Very good day out there huh?

We striked Marlines yesterday on all our boats! guess that was on the menu! will see how our boats do today.

On RumRunnin we our first group of wounded soldiers from The Baja Brigade program. Adan Garcia, Jonathan Gean and Adam Maloney arrived on June 16th at the San Jose International Airport where Ryan and John Donovan were waiting outside the gate to greet and meet these heroes. They were later taken to the Portofino Condo where they will be staying for the next couple of weeks.

We are very exicted about the Baja Brigade Program and we are really looking forward to doing this again in the future.
The Baja Brigade Program provides wounded veterans and their families with an all expenses paid adventure to Cabo San Lucas Mexico. Attendes will fly to Cabo and stay in a private ocean view condo for four nights while enjoying two days of offshore fishing with RedRum Sportfishing.

This very first group to come to Cabo has been having a wonderful time and John, Ryan and Brooke have entertained the guys a lot!

Today John and Ryan are out fishing with our new friends and we will let you know how they did out there!!!

Support Out Troops!

Not too much to report

Hi Guys,

Today we had a calm day in Cabo. There are a lot of Marlin spotted out there but they are not all biting. We had 2 boats out today but only one of them caught fish.

This day's trip includes a father/son trip "starring" Steve Glass and son Cameron. They went out fishing for a full day with Captain Javier and mate Americo. They fished 30 min away from the Marina out by "Cerro Blanco" aka White Hill. The Marlin was reeled in by Cameron who is around the age of 13 yrs reeled in his first Striped Marlin that weighed 180 Lbs.

Thanks for reading.

four winds

Hey y'all! Hope you're enjoying the weekend wherever you are!
Us here in Cabo could be doing a bit better you know, although we have been catching fish we certainly could be catching more...Does anybody know how we could get rid of the amazingly strong winds??? is there like anything we can do?????

These last couple of days we've been getting hit by very strong winds. It starts out really nice in the morning and you think "Oh cool, today will be an awesome day" little do we know mother nature has other plans in mind!

Once the clock strikes 11:30, better hold on to your hats cause the ride get rough. Waves have been between 5 and 6 ft high and the speed of the winds has been increasing every day reaching up to 24 mph...I know this sounds like nothing but believe me...out there it DOES have an impact.

Our RedRum Sign has already suffered consecuences because of this, it has been falling over and over causing some of the picture frames to break this means that you will be seeing me fixing it up every day and end up just bringing it back inside cause if I kept trying to fix it, I wouldn't be able to get some boats out in the water!!!! =)

No seasickness has been reported these couple of days so we are cool on that side and it makes no difference if we try the Pacific or Sea of Cortez side...winds will catch up!

Yesterday we had 4 boats out in the watern all of which caught fish. This is how they did

On Tantrum for a second day of fishing we had a double father/double son fishing trip. David Kaiser and David Spalinger decided to bring their kids Tyler Spalinger and Zachary Kaiser to Cabo for a graduation fishing trip...how awesome!!!!
Their total number of fish for both days was 1 Marlin and 5 yellowfin Tuna... Don't ask me where because the guys were all over the place looking for fish, so there really isn't an exact hot spot for me to mention.

For their last and second day trip, members of CCA Travis Roy and his crew hopped on Nuevo for their last fishing trip of this month. Their catch on the first day was 1 Tuna and 1 Wahoo while yesterday they only caught 2 Tuna...Not bad, but it could've been better...You know who I blame! I mentioned "it's" speed several times in the lines above.

From the state of Texas we had Clint Dean and his party of 3 fishing aboard RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Americo and after a long day of being outhere and almost a bit bummed out becuase no fish was spotted anywhere did reel in 1 hammerhead.

On their second day fishing but with less crew members we had Cody Walker and the guys fishing on ReelRum. They did great on Thursday but Saturday was not so good to them. They managed to reel in 2 Hammerheads. not bad guys!

So you see, we have been catching fish just not the quantity you'd expect. I have been checking the weather forcast and it seems this upcoming week will get better, stay tunned for more!

Here we are!

Hey guys!
Have been a bit unable to update the fish report so I will try to do it as briefly as possible for the last couple of days.

Fishing has been good, we've been striking Marlin, Dorado, Tuna and a Hammerhead this week. Winds have been rough, yesterday's weather was just awkward, it was very cold! not normal weather for Cabo San Lucas, but we woke up to a heavy Marine Layer and the winds were just freezing everybody...we sold almost all of our sweatshirts!

But anyhow, today it seems to be a bit nicer, we still have winds, not as strong as yesterday though, and not as cold either!

On June 9th we had 4 boats out.

On Rum Runnin we had Cody Walker and his buds fishing for the first time with RedRum, they were out with Captain Javier and Mate Americo. They hit 1 Marlin and 3 Yellowfin Tuna out by the Arch.

On RedBeam Captain Cesar and Mate Ramon had the pleasure to have Richard, Robert and Bill sharing the boat. These guys came back with 3 Marlin and a Dorado! They all got to catch and release a Marlin, so awesome!!

On Nuevo we had Craig Christiansen who after a full day of fishing, came back with 12 yellowfin tuna. He went fishing with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel. Great job guys!

On Tantrum David Jenkins and his friend decided to reel in 9 Yellowfin Tuna and 1 Marlin!
So as you can see Marlin was in the house!

Yesterday we had 5 boats out and a Panga. The panga was not very lucky but the guys still had fun.
On Tantrum we had Brett and Lisa Faucett from Dallas, TX fishing with Captain Ramon and Mate Omar. These guys reeled in 4 yellowfin tuna. Brought it back to get it seeled and frozen up! They had a great time.

Rick Barnhart and his party of 12 went out on RedBeam and RumRunnin. They had an awesome time out there and they both caught fish!
On RedBeam the guys did teamwork in reeling in a 10Ft 180 Lbs Striped Marlin plus a 7 Lb Yellowfin tuna!!! Awesome job!
On RumRunnin a 200 Lb Marlin was also caught but it snatched the line before it was able to make it all the way in....darn! they also caught a Tuna and a Hammerhead! first one of the month. Nicely done!

And last but not least was Steve & Debra Kman fishing on ReelRum, after their full day of fishing, they came back with a Tuna. Not bad either, the good thing is you guys enjoy your trip, right!!!

Thank you all for reading.

Tuesday June 8th

Family day at RedRum! Today, my cousin, Sean Macrae fished with us. Sean is down on vacation with his wife and a bunch of friends and they wanted to get out on the water. Sean was joined by Scott Press, Steve Press and Nick Curry as they fished with Javier and Americo on Rum Runnin'. This was Sean's first time deep-sea fishing and the boys on Rum Runnin showed them a great day on the water. They got into some Tuna on the Pacific side, near the Lighthouse, and some good size Tuna at that. They finished with 4 Tuna, 2 of which were over 50lbs and a big Dorado as well. They will have some excellent filets for dinner during the rest of their stay here in Cabo.

James Stratten was out for another Marlin hunt today and once again came up empty handed on the Marlin. They pitched bait to several fish, and even had one on for a short time before the fish spit the hook and went on her way.

Jack and Dottie Cernik are visiting from Jacksonville, Florida and being boating enthusiasts, they wanted to enjoy a day on the water here in Cabo. Good thing they are boating enthusiasts, and not fishing enthusiasts, because it turns out the fish weren't quite awake during their half-day on the water. The bite was stronger today in the afternoon and Jack and Dottie came back skunked. They said they had no complaints, as the crew worked hard on the RedBeam and they had a nice day on the water.

-Ryan

Monday June 7th

Richard Snell, a repeat customer of ours and his buddy Jim Silvia, down from San Jose, California joined Ramon and Juan for a day aboard TantRum. Before they even left the office in the morning, they mentioned wanting to get back out on the water for another day of fishing. I guess they had a good feeling, and they were right. They caught 8 Yellowfin and 1 Dorado. And yes, they are headed back out. After relaxing tomorrow, they are headed back out on Wednesday.

Dan Armijo and his family, down from Peralta, California, fished with us today aboard Rum Runnin with Captain Javier and Mate Americo. Everyone got to catch and fish and Dan even got to catch a Marlin! They finished the day with 5 Tuna, 1 nice Wahoo and 1 Marlin.

Kris Kartens and his crew from Bryan, Texas (Aggie country) joined us for a day aboard El Nuevo RedRum today with Captain Alex and Manuel. They had a nice day on the water catching 4 nice Yellowfin Tuna. While they pitched bait to countless Marlin, it was the late day, final cast to a tailing Marlin that finally did the trick. One thing I love about our crews is that tey love to fish! They won't pass by a Marlin that the client doesn't see just because the trip is scheduled to be over. They did what they had to do, and they got Kris and his crew a nice Catch and Release Striped Marlin.

-Ryan

A little behind on the blog, busy packing fish!!

Sorry to have gotten a little behind on the fish reports folks, I know you have all been anxiously awaiting the latest and greatest.



Fish are still close to the Marina with the boats fishing anywhere from a 1 to 5 miles offshore. All the Marlin, Tuna, Dorado and Wahoo are in the same area so folks are coming back with some nice mixed bags.



James Stratten and Josephine Folino from Manhatten Beach, California joined Ramon and Juan on TantRum today for a day chasing Marlin. The Tuna are biting like crazy, but James wanted to focus on Marlin. They pitched bait to 4 or 5 different Marlin but couldn't get a bite, they did however finish the day with 2 Yellowfin.



Jake Edens and Yousef Afgher treated their ladies Krisitine and Kelly to a day on the water today with Javier and Americo on Rum Runnin. (More like the ladies allowed them to have a day on the water, but whose keeping score?) This crew was down from Seattle, Washington and we sent them away with some awesome Tuna steaks for when they get tired of Salmon. They had an epic day catching their limit of Tuna, 12, a small Dorado and a 100lb catch and release Marlin.

Strong Winds

Today Cabo is experiencing strong winds around 15 mph which are causing the very rough waves and seasickness, a bit odd for this time of year and it's funny that it seems to have a pattern one day no wind, the next day strong winds, then no wind and so on so forht. I guess tomorrow it will be better.

Some customers came in this morning from Arizona and they were like it has been very cold since we got here this is nothing compared to Arizona! I can imagine, today it was VERY cold in the morning, and as the morning passed, the sun decided to show its face but the winds remained.

Today we only had 2 boats out and our fishing was done mostly on the Sea of Cortez, this is because the Pacific is too wild!

On our 33' Nuevo, Captain Alex and Mate Manuel went out with Brian Ladin and his crew who decided to switch from a full day to a half day. They left the Marina at about 11 AM and came back a bit early becuase it was too rough out there. Of course this didn't stop them from catching and releasing a Striped Marlin. This was all they caught and that's not bad for only a few hours of fishing and considering the weather, I can say they did great!

Another big party of 7 was John Devine and his people. They decided to go out for a full day on the 42' Pescado III and enjoy a day all together on the boat instead of taking different boats. There day was not bad either as they came back with 2 Striped Marlin and 6 yellowfin. Awesome guys!

Hopefully tomorrow the weather will be much more different and we won't have anybody get sick while out with our guys!

Thank you all for reading

Jimbo "The Marlin Master" Carmouche!

Howdy peeps!

It's been a couple of days since I last wrote the fish report. Sorry things get a bit busy more often, which is cool with us, but sometimes this doesn't allow me to post the reports after the boats come back....just be a bit patient with me ok? Thank you so much, I appreciate it.

But now, let get you that 411 you've been waiting for...........So... lets go back in time.....Yes, back to June 1st, 2010........... tada!!!

Today was a very warm day, a bit chilly in the morning but hot during the afternoon with temerature being 92F while waves were chest high and a bit rough...ahhh but this did not stop all are good professional and non professional fishermen to stop their day o' fun! Seasickness??? pop some dramamine or scopace and voila!

On this day we did very good with yellowfin tuna, ok with Dorado and won the lottery with, another successful story, a 180 Lb Marlin caught, reeled in and released by another member of the Carmouche Party!!! These guys were on a role!!!!!

Tunas were very co-operative, we caught a total of 28 and we only had 3 boats out. Not bad huh?

So the day began like this.........(time warp!!!!)

Jim Gobbi and crew members John, Steve, Tyler, Jordan and Kato came fishing with us for a full day. Their trip was planned ahead a long time ago by Julie. These guys are staying above the redrum office so there were here just in time. It would've been funny if they would've been the last ones to arrive or be very late, but fortunately they didn't.

They went off on the 32' RumRunnin and while being escorted to the boat by Mate Americo, their ladies were saying goodbye, taking pictures and wishing them goodluck from the balcony that has the Marina view. They fished with Captain Javier and came back with 9 Yellowfin Tuna the biggest being around 30 Lbs. and 1 Dorado. SHARP guys! great job!

Dustin & Elizabeth Dorsey also fished with us on this day. They went out on the 28' ReelRum with Captain Jesus and Mate Edgar. They went out for a full day on the Pacific side and their catch through out the day were 7 yellowfin. Like I said earlier, tunas were being good players! Nicely done you guys.

The last group to go out on this day were once again the Carmouche's. This was also their last trip with RedRum and last night staying at the Portofino Condos. These fellas came back with 12 Tuna and (drum roll.......) a 180 Lb. Striped Marlin!!!! Guess who reeled it in this time....No, not 17 yr old Hunter but his Father Jimbo! I can see where hunter got his skills from he has a great mentor!...no wonder.

Jim faught this marlin for a few minutes before the Marlin decided to lets say...take the day off. It was quite an experience and we are glad to name Jim the new Marlin Master. The marlin was a good fighter but Jim played the right card! Great job Jimbo. The rest of the crew were cheering for Jim as he faught this monster fish! In the end they all came back to the office to get their fish frozen up and vaccum seeled. You can imagine...the office was loud! LOL I am a person who talks very loud and with all the good vibes and excitement they came back with, well this got me on a roll!

Unfortunately the Carmouche party had to say "hasta la vista baby" to Cabo yesterday and we really hope they decide to come again and have another awesome trip and pass on the legacy to another member of their Royal Partaaayy!
Thanks guys for the awesome attitude, it was my pleasure meeting you all and hope to do it again soon.

June 2nd, 2010:

Yesterday we also had a regular customer Paul Gaske fishing with us for a half day trip on a Panga and came back with 5 yellowfin and 1 roosterfish. This nice fella already knew everything he had to do and what he would except...so my morning speel was not even necessary.....My whole "you have to hold on to the fishing licenses. When you get on the boat the mate will ask for them and hand them over to the port Cap..........STOP! He's a regular.....the man knows this stuff already! but it was actually the first time I had met him. Of course he did not tell me to stop or shut me up he was very polite but he seemed anxious to go out, so I had to cut my speel shorter than usual. LOL. He had a great time out there with Carlos. I guess I will be seeing him more often!

Thank you all for reading and thank you for liking my reports. It's nice to hear people actually make comments when the walk into the office! "You're the guy who writes the reports" "you write just the way you talk" "You do a good job" 'Keep em comin'" and so I will! =)

Have an awesome day my friends!
Nick
