Thursday was a lite day, with only one boat going out. While it isn't great for business, it is necessary from time to time as the boys get a chance to fix up all the little things that like to go wrong after 8 hours on the water everyday.
Bruce and Patti Londgren and Ken and Debi Lathrop were our guests today, everyone hailing from Minnesota. Bruce and Ken told me in the morning that they wanted to catch Dorado, and weren't interested in Marlin. Captain Ramon was on it, hooking them up with 6 nice fish.
As it is a little chilly on the water in the mornings, Bruce had brought a long sleeve flannel shirt to wear first thing in the morning. Not sure if he could feel Ramon eyeing it all day or not, but by the end of the day, part of Ramon's tip was the flannel shirt with a camo pattern and white-tail deer all over it. Ramon recently found himself a new squeeze and her father is a big hunter here in southern Baja. Ramon has been joining her father every sunday at his ranch, and even shot his first deer this year. If you don't think Ramon is going to be wearing that shirt come Sunday you need your head checked, he was absolutely thrilled as he came in the office modeling it.
Bruce, that was a very nice gesture and we thank you and all our clients who are so gracious to our Captains and Mates. They appreciate your goodwill more than you know.
Thanks,
Ryan

Wednesday Report
Today we had the Skovera clan from Wisconsin fishing with us aboard TantRum. Bruce and Katrina, as well as Carrie and Dale all had a chance on the rod and reel as Captain Ramon was able to hook them up with 5 Dorado.
Craig Colelli and Lance Goth met here in Cabo and both wanted to get you fishing but were the only ones in their party that shared the same feeling. Fortunately, they hooked up and found us and we got them out with Ulyses for a day on Grey Light. As random as that was, so was their day fishing. Craig and Lance did something that has only happened two other times in the history of our company. They caught a Pez Espada or Swordfish. While the Sword was tiny, under a 100lbs, it was a Sword nonetheless. Quite a cool accomplishment in this part of the world. Consolation for Craig and Lance was the Marlin the caught and released and a nice Grouper that they had to the side of the boat before losing.
Joe Ippolito and Erika Tsouris from New York along with Sam Johnson and Chad Pedley found each other via our share board here at RedRum Sportfishing. They all knew that they wanted to fish, just couldn't afford a boat by themselves. That being said, we hooked them up and then hooked them up again with 4 Dorado and 3 Striped Marlin, two of which were "LDR's" or Long Distance Releases. Everyone got along great, despite Joe being a Jet's fan, and obviously the fishing was great. Congrats to everyone, nice meeting you all.

Tuesday update....
Well folks, we were sad to see Diana go yesterday and she will be greatly missed, but she is leaving for a good cause and we wish her well. We feel very fortunate for the time we had with her and for all the great things she did for the company.
That being said, fishing must go on. And on it did.
Steve Selby from Aspen, Colorado along with his buddies John and Shane from Pennsylvania fished with Javier and Americo today aboard Rum Runnin. Fishing the pacific side from the lighthouse to Los Arcos, Javier was able to hook them up with a Marlin and 4 Dorado.
Jim and Frances Crawford along with Dave Lecheler, all from Montana were out with Ramon today for the second of two days. After a Marlin and 12 Dorado on day 1, they followed up with a Marlin and 6 Dorado on day 2. Glad everyone got to spend some time on the rod and reel guys. Nice meeting you and hope to see you back down here next year.
Finally, our good friend Tony Guthrie formerly of Lowrance Electronics, was down with his lady Laura, their friends Dan and Kathleen Lewin and the legendery Captain Ron Hunter. Captain Alex kept everyone busy with a Dorado, a huge 200+lb Striped Marlin and 2 Sailfish.
CJ Burger did not show up to go fishing. "Food poisoning," was their excuse.
That being said, I have some ocean front property in Arizona if anyone is interested.
