On this day everyone showed up on time and were ready to start trollin' away! Their catch consisted of 1 Dorado and 1 Tuna...it seems like it was a bit slower this day but at least you guys caught something right?

70 Lbs Wahoo!!! and tons of Marlin.

That's Right guys, RedRum striked a big Wahoo!

John Donovan went out fishing today with Warren Coupland aboard Tantrum with Captain Ramon and Mate Juan. They fished for a full day and came back by 2:30. Tuna, Wahoo and Dorado was on the menu for this lucky team. They caught 4 yellowfin Tuna by the lighthouse, 1 Dorado and a 70 Lb Wahoo by the 95 Bank. It was a huge Wahoo, Warren was excited and took some for dinner tonight.

Honeymooners Tom Matulaniec and Kate Gold wen't out fishing for a full day on RumRunnin. These newley weds had their trip planned months ago and everything was taken care of upon their arrival. They had a great day out there. Came back a little early after they had caught and released 1 Blue Marlin (120 Lbs) and 3 Striped Marlin between 100-110 Lbs. We are glad they enjoyed their trip. Congrats you two.

From Canada we had Rick Koenig and his party of 3 fishing on ReelRum for a full day trip. They will be fishing with us for two more days and we hope there following days are just as fun as this one was. They caught a total of 4 Striped Marlin, biggest one being 180 Lbs while the rest were in between 140 - 170. You can say they were BIG!. They also reeled in three 20 Lbs Dorado. They started off with the right foot, so I am guessing these guys will fill up our freezer back there!

Louie Pieracci has been fishing for two days now. On Day 1 they caught and released a total of 5 Marlin caught and released and 2 Dorado. Today their they were still lucky but not as lucky as yesterday. They caught a total of 1 Dorado and 1 Tuna, but they were still happy with outcome and we will be seeing them on Thursday for their last trip.

Thanks for reading.

500 + Blue Marlin

Hi Guys,

After so much commotion and winning first place in the Bisbee's Offshore tournament, we are back to normal here in the office. It's been crazy as you can all imagine. Congratulations for the winning team who was on Missing Lenk along with Owner of RedRum Ryan Donovan.

Today was a bit calm here in the office which gave us enough time to finish off some pending work but tomorrow we once again will be meeting deadlines...we can't complain, we're doing good, RedRum can make it happen.

Today we had 6 boats out. Fishing took place on the sea of Cortez but it was a bit rough out there, we are expecting smoothe seas tomorrow though. Will definitely let you know. We will also begin with the Blak and Blue Bisbee's tournament tomorrow. We won't be participating but good look to all the anglers who are.

Arthur Rick fished once again on Tantrum and caught 1 small dorado and 1 wahoo about Lbs. Captain for the day was Ramon and Mate Juan. They will be fishing again on Thursday.

Joseph Procida, Victor Nyborg and Richard Stern fished on RedBeam. This is their first trip out of three and they managed to catch 1 dorado. There was a member of their team that got a bit seasick and hopefully on Thursday he'll be able to handle the seas a bit better. Seas were 4ft every 11 sec.

Michael Conway fished with Captain Javier and Mate Jesus on RumRunnin today. They caught and released a 150 Lbs Striped Marin and 4 Dorado between 20 - 30 Lbs. They were going to get some of that nice dorado cooked up probably at Misiones de Kino or the Hacienda Cantina...either way their meal will be great, both these restaurants are my favs and do an awesome job.

Steve Stell fished on ReelRum today with Captain Jesus and Mate Edgar. Their total catch consisted of 1 Dorado and 100 Lb Striped Marlin. Both were released.

And we are still waiting for Tim Hatch's second boat to come in. They have been fighiting a Blue Marlin for more than 6 hours now...I can imagine how tired they must be! The crew thinks it's over 500 Lbs! Let's hope these guys don't get Too tired and manage to bring it on the boat. That for sure is a Kodak Moment! THey are fishing 12 miles off the Migrino Bank and have been there for quite a while trying to bring it in.

We will keep you posted.

Thanks
Nick

Dorado Frenzy!

We’ve had a super busy Sunday here at the RedRum office. As the tournament season thickens here in Cabo, so does all the general traffic on the water. We had a whopping 9 boats head out this morning. Here is a recap of how they all did on that 83 degree water.

As you guys may know the Bisbee’s Offshore Tournament is going on right now, with Day 2 just finishing up. Ryan is fishing along with the Arthur party on Missing Lenk, no update yet as to how big their Tuna is that they’ll be bringing to scale.

The Roberts clan headed out this morning including Mike, Robert, David, Patricia, Robert, Lynn, Steve, Corey, Karen and Craig on board El Nuevo. These Austin natives are always down for a good time every year they come down fishing with us. Thanks as always for your continued business and great attitudes! El Nuevo was back first after heading out to the Golden Gate area. Fishing closer to the shore an area called Cerrito de Golden they reeled in the majority of their catch. With a whopping 7 Dorado all ranging from 15 – 25 lbs as well as 1 Striped Marlin weighing around 120 pounds. They are gearing up for a yummy dinner at Hacienda.

Arthur and Bradley Rick headed out for Day 2 aboard Tantrum. Coming all the way from Calgary, they are enjoying themselves up at the condos at Portofino for their Stay & Play trip. Today was a killer day for them out at El Cerrito near Golden Gate. With skip jack as their bait they pulled in 13 Dorado, around 15-25 pounds in weight. They released 9 of them and are keeping the rest to take home and to have Chef Cesar prepare a feast for them back at the condo. They had at one point a Striped Marlin and Wahoo hooked up but both got away.

We had a partial group show up today to head out on Pescado III. Those that made the trip were Ross, John, Paul, Gerard, Jeff and Sam. They were 5-6 out from the Lighthouse on the Pacific side where they caught a 140 pound Striper on a hurricane lure. They also got a juvenile sailfish weighing about 60-70 pounds, releasing them both. And last but not least a nice 20 pound Dorado caught on a Ballyhood lure.

Frank, Robert, Donald and Mike headed out again today aboard RumRunnin. They are also staying up at the Portofino condos enjoying their Stay & Play trip. These guys from New Jersey headed out to Golden Gate and were able to pull in 2 Dorado right around 30 pounds each. They are hoping for a more action filled day tomorrow, so we’ll see what Monday brings for them.

Phil along with David, Jeff and Andrea all from California headed out on Anzuelo II with Captain Salvador. They headed out to the Pacific as well where they reeled in 5 Dorado around 20 pounds, one was a little guy. At one point they even had a triple hook up! In the midst of all the action they also had a shark following them that continued to break their line resulting in 3 lost lures. But all in all they’ve got some Dorado for dinner.

And last but not least was Dale Haines and his wife aboard ReelRum. They had a great day out there reeling in and releasing 1 Striped Marlin weighing about 120 pounds. They caught it out at Golden Gate on a hurricane lure. They also reeled in and released a 25 pound Dorado on a dead bait. Great job you guys!

Check back soon for an update on the Bisbee's Offshore Tournament.

Bisbee's Offshore Day 2 Update

As you guys may know, Clint Arthur one of our favorite clients is fishing in the Bisbee's Offshore Tournement today. This is Day 2, the last day of the tournament. They are out with Captain Mike on Missing Lenk with Ryan along as well. We just got a confirmed report that they just landed a large Yellowfin Tuna on board. We aren't sure of the size yet, but will do our best to keep you posted.

Los Cabos Billfish Tournament

The Los Cabos Billfish Tournament took place October 13th, 14th and 15th. We've been crazy busy around here but wanted to be sure and recap this super exciting tournament!

We had one of our very own, RumRunnin, Captain Javier and Mate Jesus fishing in the tournament this year once again with Joe Assenza, his buddies Dave and Randy and his two sons Jason and Darryl. Last year these guys fished the Billfish Tournament and placed Day 1 in the Wahoo Jackpot bringing them home a nice chunk of change along with a trophy we've had proudly displayed at our office. This year they too were able to find a spot on stage with a check and nice trophy.

Jason was the lucky angler on Day 3, who is a 22 year old recent college graduate from Indiana and it was his first real time deep sea fishing. Don't let his inexperience fool you, he was able to land that Blue Marlin quite smoothly. And just when you think that these tournaments are only for professionals, don't be fooled, we welcome all levels to participate. Team RumRunnin came back on Day 3 to the scales with the monster Blue Marlin not sure of it's weight. They were the first boat of the day back with a Marlin on board, with word of two other boats with Marlin on board as well. Scales went up and this monster weighed a whopping 465 pounds! Although it didn't beat the first place Marlin that weighed in at 713 pounds from Day 1, it was the biggest fish of the day so far. Not too much later the two other boats weighed in their Marlin weighing 466 pounds and 463 pounds. It's amazing how important a pound is in fishing, because in this case it bumped our proud crew to 3rd place. Team RumRunnin graciously accepted their 3rd place overall in the tournament with the 3rd biggest Marlin in the 3 day tournament. We're so proud of Jason and the whole team for their wonderful sportsmenship and great attitude. We thank you guys for letting us keep your trophy and check for display in the office, for bragging rights on your behalf! Well done guys, we'll see you again next year. And for those that are interested in fishing in any of these fun tournements let us know. Shoot us an email and we'll gladly answer any questions you have about how easy it is to grab some friends and form a team!

Fishing today was good. We did the Pacific side mostly. We had Wahoo's Sailfish, Marlin, Dorado but no sadly no Tuna

They came back into the office and showed me pics and videos of their catch...It was an awesome video guys I sure hope Vincent sends it in so all of you can watch it. Thanks Guys.

Monday, Monday....

Today we had another beautiful day on the water here in Cabo. Calm seas, and mid 80's water made for another great fishing day. A buzz is certainly in the air as this week marks the beginning of Tournament Season in Cabo San Lucas. We get started with the Los Cabos Billfish Tournament on Wednesday and Captains and Mates are getting excited.

Brian Impey and his crew from San Jose, California fished with Jesus and Edgar on ReelRum and they had a great day on the water. They finished with day with their daily limit, of 2 Dorado's per person for a total of 8.

Don Jackson and his son Brad, down from good ole Fort Worth, Texas (Go Horned Frogs) joined Ramon and Juan on TantRum today and they had a fish of a lifetime, almost two actually. The day started off with 3 Dorado and then a catch and release Striped Marlin. Ramon then spotted a school of Porpoise and Juan got the Tuna jigs out and into the spread. When Ramon got in front of the school, Juan pitched a Ballyhoo back which immeadiately got inhaled by a 200+ lb Yellowfin. He passed the rod off, and quickly rigged another. By the time he pitched the second Ballyhoo, the first Tuna had come off, but he quickly hooked another, this time a 180 lb Yellowfin. Finally, he hooked about a 60lb Yellowfin and both fish were landed. What an awesome experience.

The Kruse crew headed out for their second day on the water aboard both RedBeam and El Nuevo RedRum. They were focused on Billfish today, and they got what they were after. RedBeam had 2 Striped Marlin and 1 Sailfish, and El Nuevo finished with 2 Striped Marlin.

Day 2 of fishing for Evan Miller and his crew was another awesome day. Javier and Jesus got the guys into the Dorado and they finished with 9 for the day.

I could go on and on, but basically, the Dorado bite is non-stop. Some huge Tuna are around, and the Billfish bite has been great.

We are busy getting ready for the Tournaments, so we apologize for the short fish reports but I think you all get the general idea that Cabo is red hot right now and we are super busy.

Thanks,
Ryan

Catching up... What a crazy busy month!

As most of you know, October is our busiest time of year with all the tournaments and the incredible fishing. We tend to get behind on the Fish Report and for that we apologize. Quick synopsis, fishing is great.

The guys have been fishing both sides, the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific with great success. Bait has still been a little tough to come by, but with the Ballyhoo we had sent over from Mainland Mexico via airfreight, we have been hooking up non-stop.

Sunday we had 6 boats out, and everyone had great success.

As many of you know, Cabo Wabo, annually celebrates owner Sammy Hagars birthday with 5 or 6 shows in the month of October, by none other than Sammy himself. A few members of the band took a day off to head out on the water with Pescado III, and they came back with 6 Dorado and a nice Wahoo.

TantRum fished with Richard Marsh, Al Moler, Joey and Ashley Lassiter for the day and they too had a great day. They finished the day with 7 Dorado and 1 Dorado.

Mike Murphy has been coming to Cabo for years and years and he couldn't catch the elusive Marlin he had been looking for. A Marlin was a "bucket list" item for Mike and finally after 5 attempts, RedRum got him on the fish! Mike caught and released a Striped Marlin and also caught 4 Mahi Mahi.

El Nuevo fished with Marc Lamberti, Michael O'Donnell and Jason Keller today. This was the Massachusetts connection, with all the guys hailing from the Boston area. Never hurts to wear a Red Sox hat into the office the morning of your charter and it certainly didn't hurt these guys. To be perfectly honest, we spent so much time "bs"ing that I forgot to get an exact count on the fish, but I know they had Wahoo, Tuna and Dorado and they had a blast out there.

Tracy and Joel Wegenast, along with their boys Casey and Gary, joined Javier again for another great day on the water. They finished with 7 Dorado and 1 Marlin.

Paul and Patrick Ferrigno along with his girlfriend Belinda Hargright are down again for the 3rd year in a row, enjoying our Stay and Play package. They had 7 Dorado and 1 Marlin on day one of their adventure.

-Ryan

Quick Recap!

Yes, Yes I know I've said this before but I haven't had time to write up a fish report for these last couple of days and I know you are all wondering how we've been doing. So I will write a small recap of these last couple of days.

Thanks for reading.

Oct. 6th

Mark Sweetwood fished for a first day of fishing aboard the 31' RedRum with Captain Omar and Mate Americo. Fishing took place by the 95 bank and their final number for day one was 1 sailfish and 3 average size dorado 15-25 Lbs
He will be fishing again on Oct. 8th

Brian Ahearn fished on Oct 5th, on 2 boats 33' NUevo and 31' RedRum. Nuevo did a total of 15 Dorado while RedRum was only able to reel in 5 Dorado. Captains on the boat those days were Manuel and Omar for Nuevo and Omar and Americo on RedRum


Ethan Rhodenizer and his crew fish on the 6th aboard the 28' Tantrum with Captain Ramon and Mate Juan. they caught a total of 10 Dorado, releasing 2 of them. Sizes were between 15 - 25 Lbs.

Longtime customer Roger Huffman played and stayed at the portofino condos and fished for 3 days on RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Jesus. As you remember on day 1 these guys reeled in a 132' 360 Lbs Blue Marlin. Well fishing for the following days was also great on day 2 which was the 5th they caught a total of 15 Dorado and 1 Striped Marlin which weighed 120 Lbs. The funny thing is that they had a total of 7 DOrado bite at the same time! you can imagine the pressure these guys had to reel in the fish at the same time, one after another! Great job Roger and Crew.
And on their last day of fishing these guys reeled in a 150 Lbs Yellowfin Tuna, along with a 8 ft Marlin weighing 110LBs. They also caught a Dorado about 25 Lbs. Nice job guys! thanks once again.

Juliana Larson fished on the 6th aboard the 28' ReelRum and caught a total of 4 Dorado. They had also spotted a Marlin and a Mako shark but they did not bite. Captain on this boat was Jesus and Mate Edgar.

Last but not least Kevin Kadowski and his crew fished their last trip with RedRUm on the 6th and came back with a total of 8 Dorado and 1 Marlin about 6ft. All I can say about this group is that they have a lot of fish in the freezers! they did great these 3 days of fishing. Thanks guys!


Sorry for the brief report guys, office is extremely busy these days!!!

More Pics from Kelly & Ralph!






Hey these pictures just in from Ralph and Kelly Horton who fished with us a few weeks ago.

Thanks Kelly!

Monday, a little overcast and a slight breeze

There was a slight breeze this morning that caused a little chop in the water, but nothing too radical. No one was sick or anything and no one came back early, just not glassy. There may be no rhyme or reason to it, but I always feel like I have better days on the water (ie. Catching) when the water has a little chop to it.


The Kadowaki's were back for day two aboard RedRum and they headed north to the Sea of Cortez. Things were slow for a while, as they were looking for Tuna and then things literally exploded. They ran into a school of Porpoise that were chasing bait and the Porpoise school was holding Yellowfin. And Dorado. And Wahoo. And Marlin. And Sailfish. They finished the day with a Sailfish, 4 Tuna, 4 Dorado, 1 Wahoo and 2 Marlin that they hooked but couldn't get to the boat. These guys were slightly stoked when they got back.

Today on TantRum we had a share boat that worked out, which is always great when folks are looking to share the experience and the cost of a day of fishing. Dareld Grube and his wife Kathy, along with Gary Luntz and Anthea Koutroulis spent the day with Ramon and Juan and they had some awesome action as well. They caught and released a Striped Marlin and also caught 7 Dorado.

Jim Poole and his guest joined us for a last minute fishing trip before heading to the airport. They literally got off the boat, changed clothes in the office here and headed to the airport. They had a slow start to the day but managed 4 Dorado and a last minute Marlin.

Roger Huffman and Kendall Karr our good friends from Kansas are back down this year for another Play and Stay Package. http://www.redrumcabo.com/html/packages.html
This year they brought along Joel Jarnigan and Randy Parsons. The guys wanted to focus on Marlin so Javier brought them up to the Golden Gate and it really paid off. They caught and released 3 Striped Marlin before a big Blue Marlin slammed a Williamson Bonito lure on the left corner pole. After making sure they had a good hook-set, Joel Jarnigan was on the rod and he brought in an 11' 8" Blue Marlin that was estimated at over 350lbs. A 9' Striped Marlin and a nearly 12' Blue Marlin isn't all that bad for your first day of offshore fishing in Cabo San Lucas. Roger and Kendall took care of dinner for the crew catching a few Dorado in between the Marlin Madness.

Sunday Session

Today was another beautiful day in Cabo, weather was in the low 90's and water temps are still in the low 80's with some 70 degree water on the Pacific side. Bait is still tough to come by, but we have been pro-active. We just ordered another 50 kilo's, about 110 pounds of Ballyhoo from Mazatlan and it should be here Monday. The Dorado and Marlin have been all over the Ballyhoo, maybe it is because they are not used to seeing it around here. I don't care why, just glad they are eating!

The Reid family from Canada (Lorne, Rob, Rodney, Clayton, Keaton and Gordon) joined us aboard Pescado III today for a great day on the water. The headed north into the Sea of Cortez and found a nice school of Porpoise that was holding Tuna, and Dorado. Everyone got multiple fish as they finished the day with 6 Yellowfin Tuna and 4 Dorado. They were super happy with the boat and crew and loved everything about their first experience, offshore fishing in Cabo.

Brad Williams and his buddies from Jacksonville, Florida joined us aboard TantRum and El Nuevo RedRum today. The guys flipped a coin to see who got the 33' and who got the 28'. We'll they may have lost the coin flip, but they won in terms of fishing with TantRum catching and releasing a nice Blue Marlin. El Nuevo had 3 Marlin hook-ups but couldn't get any to the boat.

Kevin Kadowaki, and his crew from Santa Barbara, California are down for 3 days of fishing and today they headed out on RedRum, our new 31' Bertram. They had a great first day of action with 1 Striped Marlin and 3 Dorado. They also lost a nice Wahoo, but that can happen.

Tuna is coming back!

October 1st was a good day. Tunas are back! that's for sure and we started off this month with 10 Tuna the biggest being 45Lbs. We also caught and released 2 Striped Marlin, biggest one being 160 Lbs and 10 Dorado the largest was 40 Lbs. So we really can't complain about yesterday's fishing.

We are nicely booked for October which is awesome, our chart looks better than ever and we're still booking charters. We're where we're supposed to be thanks to all of you who continue doing business with RedRum or send us referrals. On behalf of the entire RedRum team we THANK ALL OF YOU!

Like I mentioned in a previous fish report, we have a new law that took effect on Wednesday. The new law allows only 2 species per person are allowed to be caught and killed. This is per client, the crew doesn't count. So if there are 2 clients they can take home 4 Dorado, 4 tuna etc. No limit on how many fish can be caught and released. This doesn't mean that when you have reached your limit you are going to head back to the office. You guys will get your 8 hours or 5 hours of fishing depending on the type of charter but you'll only be catching and releasing. Please don't think it's our crew who does not want you guys to keep your fish.

This law also prohibits cleaning and filleting fish on board. Even though we had this going on for quite a while it wasn't as severe as it is today. In order to get your fish cleaned you will have to stop at the Cleaning station after your fishing trip is over. If we get caught filleting fish onboard we get our equiptment taken away and we have to pay a fine and after we pay we still don't get it back so it's something we would like for you guys to understand.

So, with that being said lets go on to the fish report for Oct. 1, 2010
We had 4 boats goiong out and they all did great. Although we had some folks who decided to bond with the toilet througout the whole trip instead of reeling in some fish but that happends sometimes...Guess Dramamine didn't work this time haha!

Ray Breer and his crew decided to go out on 2 of our boats. 31' RedRum and 32' RumRunnin. Their team split into 2 groups. This was their first day of fishing and once their 8 hours were over these folks caught a total of 9 Dorado and 6 Tuna. The biggest tuna being 45 Lbs. They are fishing again today so we'll see how good they do on day 2!

Eric Burke fished on Nuevo for a full day trip along with his family. They had an awesome time with captain Alex and mate Manuel. Their final fish caught was 4 Tuna one 20Lb Dorado and they released a Striped Marlin which was around 150-160 Lbs

Last but not least we had Doug and Rachel Selking fishing with Captain Ramon aboard the 28' Tantrum. These guys were supposed to go out fishing for a full day but decided to call it a day by 12. This doesn't mean that they didn't catch anything! Doug reeled in and released the first Striped Marlin of the month! It was 6 ft long and weighed 120 Lbs. It took him 15 mins to reel it in. He also caught the first Dorados for October. You rock Doug! I hope to see you again real soon.

Thanks for Reading.
