four winds

Hey y'all! Hope you're enjoying the weekend wherever you are!
Us here in Cabo could be doing a bit better you know, although we have been catching fish we certainly could be catching more...Does anybody know how we could get rid of the amazingly strong winds??? is there like anything we can do?????

These last couple of days we've been getting hit by very strong winds. It starts out really nice in the morning and you think "Oh cool, today will be an awesome day" little do we know mother nature has other plans in mind!

Once the clock strikes 11:30, better hold on to your hats cause the ride get rough. Waves have been between 5 and 6 ft high and the speed of the winds has been increasing every day reaching up to 24 mph...I know this sounds like nothing but believe me...out there it DOES have an impact.

Our RedRum Sign has already suffered consecuences because of this, it has been falling over and over causing some of the picture frames to break this means that you will be seeing me fixing it up every day and end up just bringing it back inside cause if I kept trying to fix it, I wouldn't be able to get some boats out in the water!!!! =)

No seasickness has been reported these couple of days so we are cool on that side and it makes no difference if we try the Pacific or Sea of Cortez side...winds will catch up!

Yesterday we had 4 boats out in the watern all of which caught fish. This is how they did

On Tantrum for a second day of fishing we had a double father/double son fishing trip. David Kaiser and David Spalinger decided to bring their kids Tyler Spalinger and Zachary Kaiser to Cabo for a graduation fishing trip...how awesome!!!!
Their total number of fish for both days was 1 Marlin and 5 yellowfin Tuna... Don't ask me where because the guys were all over the place looking for fish, so there really isn't an exact hot spot for me to mention.

For their last and second day trip, members of CCA Travis Roy and his crew hopped on Nuevo for their last fishing trip of this month. Their catch on the first day was 1 Tuna and 1 Wahoo while yesterday they only caught 2 Tuna...Not bad, but it could've been better...You know who I blame! I mentioned "it's" speed several times in the lines above.

From the state of Texas we had Clint Dean and his party of 3 fishing aboard RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Americo and after a long day of being outhere and almost a bit bummed out becuase no fish was spotted anywhere did reel in 1 hammerhead.

On their second day fishing but with less crew members we had Cody Walker and the guys fishing on ReelRum. They did great on Thursday but Saturday was not so good to them. They managed to reel in 2 Hammerheads. not bad guys!

So you see, we have been catching fish just not the quantity you'd expect. I have been checking the weather forcast and it seems this upcoming week will get better, stay tunned for more!
