Donovan's Conquering the Ocean

It seems Jim's luck has not abandoned him or his crew after all. The last couple of days he's been reeling in Yellowfin and Marlin. On Monday things were a bit slow as you may have already read, so Jim decided it was time for a backup plan...Calling his Brother John to come fish with him. John has a "different" way of fishing and even though some times he does come back to the office without any fish or maybe just Calamarlin... these past few days it has been the complete opposite.

Yesterday Jim, John and crew went out for a second day on Ziggy with Captain Manuel and after a full day of fishing, they all came back to the office with a big smile in the face as if they could walk over the blue waters of the Pacific...they had conquered the Sea of Cortez together. Together they managed to catch a 180 Lb. Marlin and 7 Yellowfin the bigges one weighing 45Lbs! I don't know how these guys did it, but like I said in the previous paragraph...John has a "different" way of fishing a very lucky guy!

Today these nice gentlemen switched to our 32' Rum Runnin and decided to give their luck a try on this boat instead, but they weren't alone. They brought along a new team player...Ryan "Picoso" Donovan. Now we had 3 Donovans out in the water....uh ooh! Poor fishies people, these guys were putting their heart and mind to one single thing, catching good fish. One of Jim's friends was not able to make it today, but that didn't stop this party of 5 from going out.

The gang was fishing around different spots, and even though I told them to head off to the Sea of Cortez because that's were all the hot spots were (I got the feeling the Nick Suggestion was probably not to be trusted, after all I am not a fisherman and even though I have been working here for two months I still have plenty to learn.) Anyway, they knew where to go, what they wanted and what they had to catch. Captain Omar and Mate Americo really worked hard today and these guys ended their trip with a couple of Yellowfin. I am sure they were going to have some of it cooked up tonight at their favorite restaurant Misiones de Kino. Today was "Uncle Jim's" last day fishing. He's a very nice man, he's just like one of the guys, very down to earth.

But they were not the only ones to do great these last couple of days. Besides Jim and crew we also had Wayne Murphy sharing a boat with Paul Detwiler yesterday. These guys were on the 32' RedBeam and after a full day fishing they caught and released a striped Marlin. Very good guys, I am glad you decided to fish with us and so excited to know you will recommend us to all your friends.

We also had Burt Vervoorn for a half day fishing trip on the 28' Anzuelo. After begining his fishing journey with Kristina, Michael and Christopher these guys also caught a released not one, but two striped Marlin...WOW 4 Marlins in one day seems very good to me! They did not come back to the office as they had a cruiser to catch, but thank you guys for choosing RedRum for your fishing adventure.

On March 30th and aboard our 32' Rum Runnin we had Greg Pisk, very cool guy fishing with his family Bailey, Riley, Jackson , Adam and Spencer Pisk. After coming back to the office and making fun of the little guy who got bit by a Pelikan, they were happy to have caught 7 Sierras and 1 Dorado. They left their fish with us to Vaccum seal it and freeze it up for them. I am pretty sure they will enjoy it once they head back to their hometown.

David Rittelmann, Cassidy and Chris began their first day out of three on our 28' Tantrum. After being out by the lighthouse and other spots until almost 4 o'clock these Navy guys came back with 1 Marlin and 5 Yellowfin! They will be fishing again on April 1st and 2nd. I will let you guys know what the outcome is.

Today, another faithful customer, Jeffrey Berman and Daughter Clair went out fishing for a second day on the 28' Anzuelo. When they came into the office this morning they said one thing...Today we want Marlin...I said your wish is my command!!! and it seems I pushed the right button this time because they did catch and "release" 1 Marlin. They had an excellent time and I am pretty sure this will definetely not be the last time we have these nice people fish with us. Thank you for the good comments Jeff, nuestro nuevo amigo...our new friend.

And last but not least we had Joseph, Denice and Wally Halicki fishing with us today. Joseph and Denise were telling me they have fished with RedRum for over 10 years and they even had the gear to prove it...one hat and 1 longsleeve shirt...I am guessing these the ones that were sold a long time ago because I had never seen these designs. It's always nice to see customers showing off their loyalty like this, this is what makes fishing and working for this company sooo worth it.

These guys had an excellent day out today, they were with Captain Cesar and Mate Ramon and came back with a big white plastic bag filled with yellowfin. They caught a total of 11 and were out fishing by the Gordo Bank, the light house and El Cerro "The Hill" We will have these guys fishing with us again.

So as you can see, these past couple of days has been great for fishing, especially for Marlin and Yellowfin which is what most of you want to catch.
In conclusion, yesterday we had a total of 5 Marlin, 12 yellowfin and 1 Dorado, while today we had 1 Marlin and 14 yellowfin. The fish are coming back people, so don't hesitate to come fishing with RedRum!

On Saturday we will begin our daylight savings so please be sure to adjust your clocks and watches to the right time on Saturday night. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me via email at info@redrumcabo.com

Thanks for reading.
