Catching up, once again... and possible exciting news on the horizon.

As many of you know, Diana, our former office manager left the RedRum family and is now teaching English in Thailand. That being said, Brooke and I have been busy picking up the slack and interviewing new candidates and we think we are very close to making a decision. We have always tried to build this business and the client base around the idea of "family." We want all the clients to feel like family and our employees to feel like family. We also know that all of you like to see the same smiling faces each and every year, so we are looking for someone that is willing to stick around for the long haul. That being said, I know there are some of you that get a little feisty when the fish report skips a day or two, things should be back to normal soon.

Mid-week last week around the 20th and 21st we had some good fishing again, with Captain Ron and his crew back at it again catching 4 Dorado and 12 Sierra. Scott Pearson and his crew also had some great fishing with the guys on Rum Runnin hooking them up with 6 Dorado and 1 Wahoo. Seemed like there were only 1 or 2 Marlin coming in each day from the 20th through the 23rd. We did have a few boats that struck out during that time frame as well, but it was usually clients that really wanted to focus on a specific species.

One guy that wanted to really focus Ryan Esko. Ryan was joining us for two days of fishing from Miami, Florida. Ryan and his gal, Valeria, had a few fish on day one, but got skunked on day two and still had not had a shot at a Marlin. They took a day to re-group and gave it one more shot and it paid off big time. Ryan landed his first ever Marlin after close to 24 hours of fishing. That is certainly dedication, and a fish that Ryan can be very proud of.

Stay tuned tomorrow, hopefully we have some exciting news about a new member of Team RedRum!
