Monday 4/19

Another absolutely beautiful day in Cabo San Lucas. Light cloud coverage on an otherwise wonderfully sunny day, water temps in the mid-70's and smooth as glass water conditions.

Both groups of clients were here before 6am, chomping at the bit so to speak to get out on the water for a great day with TantRum and Rum Runnin.

Brent and Amy Sullivan stopped by on Sunday and we talked about their time here in Cabo and how they were so tired of talking to different companies that wanted to take them fishing. They were given all types of deals and enticements and promises and seemed drained from the whole ordeal. Then they told me they were recommended by a past client and I had to ask why they didn't just come to RedRum in the first place. Nonetheless, they had a great day with Ramon and Juan on TantRum, and while they only were able to hook one nice Dorado, they had plenty of action.

Next up was Lyle Fruchey who came down to fish with his two young sons. The boys were super excited for their day on the water and while we tried to keep them busy with some Sierra or Roosterfish in the morning, they wanted to catch something BIG instead. Javier headed out to where he found the Dorado on Sunday, 10-15 miles straight out from Cabo and they landed another very nice Dorado. The boys came back into the office at the end of the day for some RedRum hats and croakies, to show off to all their friends back home.

Sunday session...

Awesome Sunday in Cabo today... Weather is amazing right now. Starting to warm up but not crazy hot. No need for the sweatshirt in the morning anymore. Bright and sunny and folks are going fishing, what could be better.

First off the docks were Merle and Mary Stubbs. We won't talk about their favorite college football team, but other than that, good people and we were very happy to have met them. They joined Juan and Ramon on TantRum today and had a good day chasing billfish near the 1150 bank. After several presentations to several fish, they hooked up and caught a very nice Striped Marlin. Congrats on your first Marlin Merle!

Ray Young and his fine crew from Belfast, Maine were back at it again today with Javier and Americo. They headed about 10-15 miles straight out from Cabo and found some frigate birds working some bait. They were all over it, catching two really nice Mahi Mahi that will be an excellent pairing with some of Ray's famous Belfast, Maine Lobsters. If you ever have the itch for a nice New England Lobster Dinner, Ray and his family can send you live or pre-cooked Lobster overnight via Fed-ex. Just google Ray Young's Lobster Farm and go from there.

Finally, we had Scott Trainor, Ivy Rodgers and John Baumgartner who found out about us from some clients at the Riu. This trio wasn't sure they wanted to get up at the crack of dawn so they joined us for a half-day starting at 10am and unfortunatey missed the morning bite. They still had a great day on the water with lots of action and sea life.
