While we only had two boats out today it was a ridiculous day on the water. Crazy how things can change over the course of 24 hours. ***This is a post that the Harrison party from yesterday is not going to want to read.***
Pescado III after an embarrassing day on the water yesterday (not like it was for lack of trying or effort,) they once again earned the respect of the fishermen of Los Cabos. Tim Bayer, and the Lilly brothers got into a nice school of Yellowfin and landed more than 20 Yellowfin between 15-50lbs... Awesome day!!!
My good buddy Joey Minvielle and his lovely wife Ashley arrived this morning for their first of 3 days on the water. They are fishing two days on RedRum, our new 31' Bertram, and a final day aboard El Nuevo RedRum. They loved the new Bertram and had a great day on the water. Joey hooked into a nice Striped Marlin and not ten minutes into the fight, Americo spotted another Marlin. He pitched bait, hooked up and soon had Ashley working on her first Marlin ever!!! Joey got booted from the chair and Ashley made short work of her first Marlin catching and releasing the fish in less than 20 minutes. She was nice enough to do so, so that Joey could once again use the fighting chair. They caught and released one other Marlin and even grabbed 2 Dorado on the way in so they could enjoy a nice dinner at their favorite spot, Misiones de Kino.

Either you find the Tuna or you find the skunk...
That was the theme today for most of our boats. You have to remember that we get all kinds of requests from anglers; "I only want to catch a Marlin!!!" Or the even more specific, "I want to catch a 6000lb Dorado."
That being said, the boats that wanted to catch Tuna or left it up to the Captain and Mate did fine today, but it wasn't one of those days that you could order your catch like you were at Long John Silvers. We certainly have those days in Cabo and probably more than anywhere else, but not today. That being said....
Walt Harrison and his son-in-law and grandson Ralph and Brad Phillips joined Omar and Americo on RedRum and they found the Tuna. After Ralph and Brad brought a few 15-20 lb fish in, they told Walt it was his turn. "Grandpa's Luck" would prevail as Walt fought a 50+lb Yellowfin for over an hour before Americo was able to sink the gaff and get the fish aboard.
Harrison Smith, a friend of a friend from Houston, Texas was down with a big group and they decided to head out for a day together on Pescado III, the 42' Stopperton. They had a nice day on the water enjoying whales, porpoise, and adult beverage's. Unfortunately, they did not spend any time on the Rod and Reel. As a disclaimer, the Smith crew wasn't picky, they just wanted to catch fish, the fish just weren't interested. That happens.
Jesse Logan joined the crew of ReelRum for a day on the water and I think they threw every lure, type of bait, style of rigging, etc at fish they saw, but couldn't buy a bite. You can lead a horse to water....
Todd and Yolanda Blechinger from Thief River Falls, Minnesota got into the fish early and often today. They had caught and released more than 10 Yellowfin before 10am they claimed when they returned to the office in the afternoon. With the grass always being greener on the other side of the pasture, they decided to leave the school and search for some Marlin. They ended the day with the Yellowfin and nothing more unfortunately. That's the decision you have to make sometimes though. Glad they were lucky enough to be in that position.
Fellow Minnesotan's, Paul and Peggy Kohl, celebrating their honeymoon nonetheless, spent the day with Ramon and Juan on Tantrum and had a good day. Considering they didn't find the Tuna and no one could buy a Marlin bite, they were still able to manage to bring in 4 nice Dorado. Congrats on the marriage guys!
