Tuna makes it to Cabo!

Nice weather here in Cabo San Lucas today but the Marina seems so lonely today though, It's a nice day out there people!!!!
We had an awesome day people! We had 4 boats out today. Tantrum, RumURnnin, Nuevo and Anzuelo and they all had a wonderful day out there. Tuna are back in business! That is what's on the menu this week or so it seems.

We had a shared party aboard out 28' Tantrum. Captain Ramon and mate Juan did a fine job fishing out by the Pacific side today. We had Steve Munnell and Dave Burgin sharing turns in reeling in those 16 yellowfin these guys caught. The biggest one was 25 Lbs. Some where smaller but they were still a lot of fun catching!

Seriously people, Tuna this week have been all up in the Pacific just waiting to be caught! Nice job Steve and Dave. Glad you decided to join the fun today.

On our 33' Nuevo we had William Salvinski, Jody Riley, Todd and Lynne Krueger and Paul Korhonen fishing for a full day out by the Pacific and these guys reeled in 19 Yellowfin!!! there was one point where they had 5 Yellowfins on the lines and only 3 guys reelign in so they couldn't let the other 2 get away. What they did was have the ladies come to the rescue!
These guys had an awesome time out there, brought back the fish to get it vacuumed sealed and frozen up. Thanks for fishing with us!

On Anzuelo, the biggest tuna caught was 110 Lbs!! surely a prize winning fish for today. The guys decided not to mount it. Barbara Costelly was the lucky angler who got to reel in this huge fish! Congratulations Barbara!!!! She came fishing with her family Bryan, Jill and Bret.
They had a great time out there. Captain Salvador did an amazing job and has been doing so for a long time now! Thanks guys.

And last but not least we had Bert Telles and his crew members fish aboard the 32' RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Americo. These guys practically caught and released most of their fish. Just wanted to have some fun, but not really looking into keeping them. They caught a total of 15 Yellowfin and released 10 of them. I think they took those 5 to some restaurant to get it cooked up. I really don't know as they didn't come back to the office but Captain says they had a great time out there! Thank you guys so much for doing this =)

So Tuna are in da house, they decided to come back to give Cabo another try. Let's see how we do tomorrow! don't miss out on the 411!

Thank you all for reading.

Dia de los Madres... and IGFA

While yesterday was Mother's Day in the states, here in Mexico they celebrate on the 10th of May. Entonces, Feliz dia de las madres a todo las madres!!

Also welcome Tournament Anglers from the International Game Fish Association or IGFA. Today was the start of the invitation only Rolex IGFA World Championships. Good luck to all the anglers and especially those on RedRum Sportfishing's Pescado III.

John Matteson, Art Davis, and Michael Marks were back at on TantRum again today. After catching their weight in Yellowfin yesterday, they really wanted to try some inshore fishing, and Roostertail's were the prime target. They headed up the Sea of Cortez to chase some reports of some really nice sized Roosters and it didn't take Ramon long to find the spot. They had 4 huge Roosters in the 35-40lb range and a few Jack Crevalle's of the same size.

Next up we had Travis Knott and his buddies who hailed from all over the US. They fished with Omar and Jesus on Rum Runnin today. The guys were looking for a recommendation and like I said, while the Tuna are running, get out there and hammer them. Well hammer them they did, the guys caught their limit catching 16 Yellowfin.

Today we also had the Platt Family from Virginia down and they had a great day on the water as well. Gary and his son Michael, Daughter Kendra and her husband John had a blast bringing in 8 Yellowfin.

Pescado III had one Marlin during IGFA fishing, only 7 Marlin were caught throughout the fishing day. Congrats to Captain Marshall. If he can get one or two more in the coming days he should be able to crack the Top 10.

Explain to me why they have a Marlin tournament in May again?

Tuna, TUna, TUNa, TUNA!!!!!!

Tuna are still all over the place, the boys found 4 huge schools all over the Pacific from San Jaime to North of Golden Gate. Water temps were in the high 60's, low 70's and when I asked what the Tuna were eating the boys laughed at me. Whatever they put on the water was getting bit, from Cedar Plugs, to Spreader Bars, to Hoochies.

I had a little incentive program in the works today, any Captain that was able to land a Tuna more than 50lbs got a $50 tip from me. Let's see how they did....

The ever pleasent Monks group was back for their final day on the water with Javier and Americo on Rum Runnin and Alex and Manuel on El Nuevo RedRum. The folks on Rum Runnin had 13 Yellowfin and the guys on El Nuevo had 11. These 9 guys had nearly 70 Yellowfin Tuna over the last 3 days. I know the folks who fished last week would have really liked to have seen those fish a few days earlier. Just goes to show how quickly the ocean can wake up.

Ray Laurie and his crew fished with Lupe and Ricardo on Cabo Chica and had a great day as well. They weren't able to get quite as many as the other guys, but they did manage to haul in 7 Yellowfin Tuna and a nice Dorado. A phenominal day by anyone's standard.

John Matteson, Art Davis, and Michael Marks joined Ramon and Juan aboard TantRum today to and they got out there and chased the Tuna as well. They told me they wanted to do a little inshore fishing, but I suggested they wait until tomorrow for that. When the Tuna are biting, you have to get out there and make a go of it. They finished the day with 13 Yellowfin.

And for everyone worried about who got my $50 for the biggest Tuna... no one. Nobody was able to catch one over 50lbs. They tried to throw live bait, tried to get some bigger bait down deep, tried some spreader bars way back, but couldn't make it happen.

Maybe next time boys!

Happy Mothers Day to all the Mom's out there!
