Case of the Monday's!

As if Monday's weren't bad enough right? My customers from yesterday that re-scheduled due to the rain, re-scheduled for today and once again did not show up. This time without so much as a phone call to let us know. One bad apple isn't going to spoil this bunch though, the folks that did show up had a great day on the water.

Jason Sanford and his buddies from Idaho had a nice day on the water aboard ReelRum today. They didn't bring in any monsters, but they did finish the day with 3 nice Dorado and a Jack Crevalle.

The Roach clan, from Louisiana fished with us today aboard Pescado III. Captain Fidencio found a big school of Porpoise and Tuna but couldn't get any fish to strike. With a chef waiting back at their house, they needed something for the grill and luckily came back closer to shore and got into some Dorado. They also trolled the shoreline late in the day and got a real nice Rooster fish that was in the 40lb class.

Ken and Dawn Foster from Oshkosh, Wisconsin were down with their two kids, Ashley and Matt and they had a nice day on the water aboard El Nuevo RedRum. While they only caught and released 1 Marlin, they had a lot of action throughout the day and had a blast. They pitched bait to at least 4 other fish, and had a whole school of Dorado striking lures and bait, unfortunately no hook-ups though.

Slow Sunday with RAIN!!!

Can't remember the last time that we had rain in July, but as I left the house this morning, it was raining pretty good. I know this is probably second nature for most of you readers, but considering we get about 5 rainy days a year, it was really interesting for us. By the time I got to the office things had subsided and by 7:30am it was completely clear skies!

I certainly won't name names, but we had one group that backed out of their charter because of the weather. I can't imagine not wanting a little sprinkle to cool things off while on the water in July, but to each their own.

The Unger family didn't back down, hell no. They were going fishing come hell or high water, no pun intended. Dean, Dale, Zach and Jacob had three generations of fishermen out there today! Grandfather, Father and his two sons, how cool. I mentioned to the boys how many people would have loved to have been able to fish with their grandfather. The Unger guys were amazed at how quickly they hooked up once they got to the fishing grounds, catching and releasing a nice Striped Marlin within the first hour. They also had a nice Dorado and a Tuna before the day was done.
