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.
