Monday's Monster Yellowtail

Today (Monday,) the wind really died down and it was a much nicer day on the water and around the Marina.

I am running out the door right now, going home to pack for the Houston Fishing Show which runs from Wednesday the 2nd through Sunday the 6th at the George Brown Convention Center. I will also be at the Louisiana Sportsmen's Show from the 11th through the 13th at the Lamar-Dixon Expo Center in Gonzales, Louisiana. Please stop by and say hello if you are in the area.

I won't go into too much detail about today but I do have a nice photo to show you guys what the action was all about today. A total of 11 of these big Yellowtails were caught.

Seriously Wind? Cut it out!

Windy as a beast this morning (Sunday,) Palm trees were all over the place, I have to give credit to our fishermen for even showing up this morning. As the saying goes in Spanish for Cabo weather, "Febrero Loco y Marzo un Poco." February is crazy and March a little. Never know sometimes with this early spring weather.

Anyway, Mike and Linnar Bies along with friends Daniel Lowell and Heath Frisby from Colorado Springs joined Ramon and Juan aboard TantRum. They wanted to focus on Billfish and they certainly did. Unfortunately, they couldn't hook one. They threw bait to 3 Striped Marlin and a Swordfish. That makes about 5 Swordfish sitings in the past week. Anyone up for an all night charter?

Craig and Cynthia Kinnie and Jim and Alla Schroder decided hugging the coastline in the windy weather was more their style. They played around with some Bonita and Jack Crevalle and were content with that.

February is almost gone and fishing is getting better.

We had another great day in Cabo yesterday.

Karen and Dean Hicke from Canada fished for a full day with Ramon and Juan on Tantrum, our 28' Californian that most of you already know. They fished off by Gordo Bank and had a stupendous day in the water. They came back with 14 Sierras, 1 Yellowtail and 1 Rossterfish. Congrats you guys!

We also had Sean Tennis and Greg Kasuske fishing on RedRum and they also fished same spot as Tantrum but on RedRum with Omar. By the end of the day these guys had caught a total of 8 sierra, 2 yellowtail and 1 bonita.

Have a great weekend!

Dylan Melanson's 8ft Marlin 170 Lbs!

Great Saturday Folks,

This is what's been going on these last couple of days.
Enjoy!

George Giambanis from New Jersey fished on Tantrum for a second time on Feb. 24th. He went out with Captain Ramon and Mate Jesus. Had a great time out in the water and decided to go after smaller stuff. His catch of the day was 10 Sierras.

Mike and Kimya Harris along with Lara and Chip Terry and 4 kids fished on our 33' Nuevo with Captain Alex and mate Manuel. This super cool group had an awesome time fishing out by the Gordo bank and by the end of the day they had caught 2 nice yellowfin tunas weighing around 35 Lbs each. They also spotted a Marlin but unfortunately it got away before it bit! I hope the kids like our RedRum shirts and hopefully they'll be showing it off!

Last but not least Victor Peterson , Michael Melanson, Michelle Hatata and Dylan Melanson fished aboard our 31' RedRum with Captain Omar and Mate Americo. After some of the crew decided to chum the entire time, 16 yr old Dylan from Orangeville Ca, reeled in an 8ft Striped Marlin weighing around 170 Lbs or more making him the happiest teenager of the day! Hope you guys send over the pics!

9ft - 150 Lb Striped MARLIN!

That's right we did a 9ft 150 Lb Striped Marlin yesterday during an 8 hour fishing trip with Steve Preece, Wendy Popp, Carley Pop and Corey Popp.
If you've been following our fish report for the past year you might remember this family as they were here during the Tsunami alert last Feb. Well they decided to come back and give it another shot and they had a TERRIFIC! day out in the water.

24 yr old Corey Popp decided to join the family this time and had his first fishing experience with RedRum. After a full day of fishing Corey landed a 9 ft 150 Lb Striped Marlin. It took him around 30 min but in the end it was well worth it! This awesome pal was so happy when he came back to the office. Their positive vibes were all around. They're plannin on coming down probably in October and if not again this time next year. Congratulations Corey you did a great job!!! I saw the picture they took and I hope they send it in along with the videos because it's really worth showing off!

Thanks you guys for fishing with us again...No Tsunami alert this time!!!

Tony Willy from Colorado along with his son Brian had a great day out with Captain Omar and mate Americo. These guys caught a total of 2 (30 lbs) yellowfin and a Wahoo that was 35 Lbs. Good to know and read that the big ones are coming back to Cabo. It's because the water temp is also rising.

Last but not least from Alamosa, Colorado we had Ed and Carla Smith fishing fur a full day on Tantrum. They came back into the office really stoked and exicted about their fantastic fishing trip. They just wanted to catch fish and so they did. They caught a total of 2 yellowfin tunas (20 Lbs) and 10 Sierras.
Glad to know they had a sharp day out with Ramon and Jesus!

Thanks

Fish Report Feb. 22nd

Hello Hello!

Hey guys I'm here to give you a recap of what's been going on these past couple of days in RedRum.

So it seems that Tuna is back in business as we've been having successful days going after and making them bite. As you probably read on Monday's fish Report they're big!

Tuesday Feb. 22

Steve and Linda Reitz, Dennyse and Mike White fished on our 31' RedRum with Captain Omar and Mate Americo. Awesome folks who had a great day in the water spending more time inshore fishing than offshore. They basically wanted to catch something instead of going too far and coming back empty handed (smart choice!) This group caught a total of 22 Sierra. (Sierra bite is great this time of year)

Super Cool Gladding family fished on tantrum for 5 hours. Annie, Katie, Nick and John had a blastin' time landing sierras. I got a word from our Captain that the kids Katie and Nick had lots of fun out there! This family came in on a Cruise Ship so they couldn't keep any of the fish they caught. Still didn't stop them from taking back a GREAT memory of RedRum Sportfishing. We sure hope they fish with us again during their next trip to Cabo!

Mark and Joe Moran along with Tommy, Greg, Ben, Bryson and Branson Morgan fished on El Nuevo, our 33' boat with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel. These guys decided to go after Tuna and came back with 5 yellowfin weighing about 35-40 Lbs each and 3 skipjacks. They had an awesome time out in the water and we're all super cool guys.

The Tony Holland Wedding Party and the Genovesi's

Tony Holland is getting married this week in Cabo and he rounded up 20 folks from the wedding party to take out four boats today. I won't go into detail with all their names, but they were a fun crew and all had nice days out on the water.

RedRum was the first boat back and they had 3 Striped Marlin bites, but no hook-ups.

Pescado III was next and they too had trouble hooking fish.

Rum Runnin was the Marlin champ of the day, catching and releasing two huge Striped Marlin that Captain Javier estimated at 180 and 200lbs.

Finally, El Nuevo came back and Captain Alex and Mate Manuel got their group into the Tuna. While most of the boats at Gordo Bank were chumming sardines, trying for Yellowfin bites, Alex decided to slow troll some hoochies and they got bit right away. He mentioned the rest of the boats shooting nasty looks his way, but he wasn't concerned with that. They landed a 30lb, a 40lb and a 50lb Yellowfin, and lost one that was over 100lbs.

Finally, Joseph Genovesi and his boys Matt, Anthony and Ben joined us for a day on the water with TantRum. Matt was able to bring in his first Marlin and the guys had a great day on the water.

Boston Boy Gets His First Marlin!

Sunday was a beautiful day in Cabo, another little cold front is coming in, but that just makes the morning a little chilly, by midday we have been in the mid 70's. The water has been calm and some warmer water has moved into the Sea of Cortez, so our guys were fishing the 95,1150, and Gordo Banks.

A good friend of ours Damon Wirtanen, mentioned our Sportfishing Company to a co-worker of his, Bob Scordino and he and his family joined us for a half-day of fishing aboard TantRum. Ramon and Juan were up to the task and Bob's son got to reel in his first Striped Marlin. Always nice to have a Red Sox fan and a Father/Son team get their first Marlin. Reminds me of my Dad and I.

Joe Palandri and his boys also chose to fish a half-day today and they decided to fish inshore aboard El Nuevo RedRum. They battled the Sierra, catching 10 nice size Sierra.

James Harper and his buddies from Redding, California also fished a half-day, aboard Rum Runnin with Captain Javier. They too wanted to fish inshore, but were only able to manage 2 Sierra.

Stephen Reitz, Mike White and Garrett White were our only full day fishermen today, joining Omar and Jesus aboard RedRum. They were on the hunt for Marlin and they spotted and hooked 3 fish, just couldn't get any of them to the boat for a release.

-Ryan

1 Striped Marlin 160 Lbs and an Award.

We're back and better than ever!
So many things have been going on these past few days. I had to rush out of here on Saturday so I didn't have time to write up a fish report!

So first and foremost: " Huge congrats and thank you to our awesome team here at RedRum and all our friends and fans for voting RedRum Sportfishing the top Sportfishing Charter in Cabo San Lucas."

On Saturday there was an event here in Cabo for the Best of Cabo 2010 and RedRum ranked as the best fishing Charter! Thanks to all of you.

And it was because of this that I had to rush out of the office. We had so little time left before getting to the ceremony but in the end it was all worth it. This is just the beginning.



So fishing on Saturday was ok. We had John Jackson on RedRum with Omar and Americo for a half day and these guys did great. By noon they had already caught a 160 Lbs Marlin and a Skipjack. Normally chances of landing a Marlin on a half day are rare but these guys did great and were very lucky. I'm glad they decided to change their Panga Trip for a fishing experience on our 31' RedRum
John fished with his pal Michael Green.

Daniel Vicente and his crew of 11 guys fished on two of our boats RumRunnin with Javier and Nuevo with Alex. It was a slow day for both these groups. They did land a Dorado though...and Dorado's during this time of year is slow, but it was the first in this month so congrats to that team.

No major fishing here on Saturday but it sure picked up over Sunday and Monday...check our fishing report for these days in just a few more minutes!

Thanks

2 Nice Marlins caught by Richard Moore and Richard Hill!

Hey Guys,

I'm back with our fishing report from the last couple of days.

On Feb. 16th we had 3 boats going out and a great day in the water!
On Tantrum we had James Nichols who fished with Dave and Bill along with Captain Ramon and Mate Juan. These folks from Nebraska had a great time in the water. They spotted Marlin while they were out there but these did not want to bite. That doesn't mean that their day was bad because by the end of their trip they had landed 12 Sierras.

Greg Wu and his crew fished on two of our boats 32' RumRunnin and 33' Nuevo
You know who the captains and mates are so I'll skip that part for now!
On RumRunnin the guys decided to do inshore fishing and during their trip they caught a total of 4 bonitas. Nuevo, on the other hand, went for bigger action and by the end of the day they had caught and released 1 Striped Marlin that was 180 Lbs! Nice job guys.

Another successful story was yesterday's fishing. I had previously talked about Richard Moore and Richard Hill, one guy from Canada and the other from England. Well to remind them a bit on Monday they caught a 160 Lb Striper that took 40 mins to reel in. Yesterday when them walked into the office I had told them about how fishing was and what we had caught a day before. I sent them out to a challenge which was to bring a bigger Marlin than the one they caught and than the 180 Lbs that was caught by Greg Wu on Nuevo.

The guys came back to the office with a disappointing face and Richard tells me "you sent us out on a challenge" by their look I was like was it good or bad?? Richards then replies we caught and released 2 Striped Marlin one of them was 125 Lbs and the other was 182 Lbs breaking their own record and the size of Marlin caught a day before. It was awesome! they said. These two awesome guys had a great day out in the water and will be fishing with us again soon!!

On RumRunni we had Kirk Welander and they also did great out there. They wanted to fish for smaller stuff and so they did. They caught a total of 12 sierra and 2 Grooper fish. They will be enjoying a delicious meal at Misiones de Kino, our favorite Restaurant here in Cabo!!! Yummy...

And last but not least we had Barry Kantrowitz and his crew from New Jersey and Florida who fished on Tantrum with Captain Ramon and Mate Jesus. The fished for a full day and by the end of their trip they caught a total of 2 yellowtail and 8 sierra!


Awesome 2 days of fishing guys. Waters are warming up and Marlin is starting to come back!

Have a great weekend!

Hi Guys, these are recent pictures some of our customers have sent.
Hope you enjoy them!

HOT AND SUNNY CABO!

Hey Guys,

So sorry for not posting new fish reports but I got sick last week and did not come to the office.

The weather keeps getting warmer and warmer here in Cabo and it seems like the cold temperature is finally moving on! These last couple of days we've been in the high 70's and water temperature is in the mid 70's which is good because we all know that fishing is best when the water is warm.

Marlin are coming back!!! which is great to know, we had success last week with most of our boats. Almost each boat since Wednesday came back with at least 1 Striper in their final count while others had 2 or 3 marked as caught and released. It was also good for Tuna and Sierra.

By Sunday, Schools of tuna had been spotted but these were not hungry which made it a bit difficult to catch. Never the less, customers fishing through the weekend had a blast out in the Baja Waters.

These last couple of days have been up and down. We've spotted, catched and released Marlins.

On Monday Feb. 14th,
Loyal RedRum Friends Deb and Greg Kelley along with Catherine and Verdie Bowen fished on Nuevo with Captain Omar and Mate Manuel. Greg and Deb were celebrating their wedding anniversary....Congrats guys, 30 something years is a LOT but these guys seem to be bursting out the joy of their marriage right out of their pores! They fished for a full day but decided to do inshore fishing. At the end of the day they came back with a total of 7 Sierras.

Richard Moore and Richard Hill fished for a full day on ReelRum, These guys from England did not want to do inshore fishing and decided to give luck a try and head out for the big stuff. At the end they had caught and released a 160 Lbs, 8 ft Striped Marlin. It took one of the two Richards 40 min to get it on the boat. Good thing they did not lose it! They will be fishing on Thursday and will go after another Marlin again. Good Luck Guys!

Rebecca, Nichole, Mike and Don fished on Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel yesterday. They went out for a full day trip tried going after Marlin and spotted a 120 Lbs (aprox) striper. Unfortunately it did not bite but these guys had a great time fishing for Sierra. In the end they landed 7. They will be coming back next year for more fishing!

Josi Busch and her family members went on a fishing trip with Captain Javier on RumRunnin. These folks for Wisconsin had a blast out there, they spotted everything you can imagine, dolphins, turtles, marlin, etc, etc. But wanted to fish for smaller stuff so they came back with Sierras. They were going to cook the fish themselves and enjoy a nice meal. Thanks guys!

Thanks for reading!

a Blue Marlin 135Lbs and several Stripers with RedRum!

It seems to me that waters are warming up here in Cabo San Lucas hence bringing down the Stipers! We have started off the week really good with a Blue Marlin, a few Stripers, Tuna and Sierras.

Biting is happening in the morning which is good for you guys to know.
Yesterday we had 3 boats going out.

On Nuevo we had Daniel Sr and Jr Delavina, David Guerra and Brandon Wallace fishing on their first trip with RedRum in conjuction with CCA Texas. These boys from the Rio Grande Valley Chapter are staying at one of RedRum's Portofino condos and fishing on our 33' Nuevo. They fished with Captain Omar and Mate Manuel for a full day. On their first trip they caught a total of 6 Sierras. Their next fishing trip will be on Thursday. I'll Keep you posted.

On Tantrum we had Dan Transtrum and James Bell fishing with Captain Ramon and Mate Juan for a full day as well. And even though Dan's last name is similar to the boats name...there's no relation! During their trip they caught a total of 12 Sierras. Seems like these guys decided to stick to inshore rather than offshore. But still they came here to catch fish and so they did. Awesome Job you two!


Last but not least we had Jim Molger and Larry Flint fishing on ReelRum with Captain Edgar and Mate Americo. These guys had a GREAT GREAT DAY! out in the water. This time of year it's "ok" to spot Striped Marlin and it might even be decent to land one but these guys didn't go for the striper they caught and released a 135 Lbs Blue Marlin. Larry was the one who reeled it in and although to him it seemed like days of reeling it only took him 20 mins. They also caught a yellowfin tuna between 12-15 lbs and spotted a Striped Marlin once headed back to the Marina.

Today we had 4 boats going out and all of them with a successful ending!
On Our partner boat Cabo Chica we had Bert Coghill and his crew fishing for a full day. They fished primarily by the Arch and by the end of the day they had caught and released a 120 Striped Marlin and a Mako Shark! nice going.

On Tantrum we had Dave Childress and Ernie McFadden who fished for a full day. These guys followed my advice not to drink too much yesterday and today their fishing was awesome. They caught and released a 140 Lbs Striped Marlin, landed 9 Sierras and a Skipjack. They fished 8 miles off what is known as the White Hill (Cerro Blanco)

RumRunnin was another successful story. Bernie and Irene Hamilton fished for a full day with Captain Javier and Mate Jesus and although they didn't come back to the office at the end of their trip we were notified by our crew that they had caught and released 2 striped Marlin one weighing 180 Lbs and the other 140 Lbs. They fished 5 miles off the 95 Bank! Stupendous job and congratulations!

and finally Vickie Stanley fished with her crew: Shari West, Sarah Ware, Laurie Stanley and Frank Ware for a half day on Nuevo with Captain Omar and mate Manuel. They had caught 12 Sierras and a bonita by 9:30 AM! This is why I'm tellin you guys that fishing seems the be biting best in the morning.

We started off really good and hopefully it will continue getting better!

Thanks for reading.

More Marlin and Yellowfin Tuna!

Alright guys

I'm back with more info on Today's fishing and all I can say is that it was GREAT!
Aside from the Marlin I talked about earlier our other customer fishing on RumRunnin Kelby Anderson had the same luck!

Kelby fished on RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Jesus for a full day trip. They too fished by the lighthouse 7 miles out and had a successful day with Marlin. Kelby was telling me that every time he comes to Cabo he has the same luck...what a lucky guy huh? Marlin was in today which is good after a while of hiding from fishermen but luckily our crew did a great job out in the water!

Another full day trip took place with fishermen Alfred Menard,Dave and Dale Wilder who fished on tantrum with Captain Omar and mate Juan. These guys had a fantastic time reeling Tuna were kept busy all day long. They caught a total of 7 yellowfin between 10-12 Lbs. Another fish that was a bit slow but decided to come out and play today.

And last but not least Derek Moreno, David Aguilar, Alex Safronov, Chad Mitchell and Damian Twedell fished on Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel. They also had a great day in the water and caught a total of 6 yellowfin tuna and 2 Bonitas.

Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!

Peace
Nick

2 Stipers 130 Lbs.

Billfish....

Seems like they are heading back this way even though water temperature is still a bit chilly but in the past couple of days we've managed to actually get them to bite!

Yesterday Doug Leland and his 2 buddies fished on RumRunnin with Captain Javier and mate Jesus. They fished 7 miles out of the light house and after a long day in the water they finally caught and released a Striped Marlin that weighed 130 Lbs aprox. Doug and his crew were told early in the morning what fishing was like but they decided to go for it anyways and give it a shot and voila! they caught their Marlin. Awesome. It's good to know that they had a fantastic time with our guys.

On tantrum we had Lance Miller who fished for a half day and had a fun time fighting Roosterfish. They fished with Ramon and Juan, had a great time but we didn't have time to talk because they were on a cruise ship and had to be back in time to catch their ride back home. I met Lance on Wednesday and he is a great guy along with his fambam!
Hopefully they'll send in their pictures and we'll post them on our site.

and Today so far we've had our first boat come back today. It was Scott Mol and his pal Dan Best. These guys went fishing for a half day on ReelRum with Captain Edgar and Mate Americo. By the time they were back they had a Striped Marlin which was 500Lbs......or so that's what Scott told me =0) but once I asked the captain he told me that the Marlin was 130 Lbs I wonder where Scott got the extra 370 Lbs from?? hahahahahaha. These guys had a great time fishing and really enjoyed it. Aside from the Marlin they also caught 3 Sierras.

Thanks for reading.

Tuna, Sierra, Rooster and Bonita

Hey Guys,

Fishing seems to be picking up. We had 2 boats going out on tne 2nd day of February.
On Tantrum we had Gordon Grippin and Mary Ellen Grippin fishing with Captain Ramon and mate Juan. They fished for a full day and during their trip they were able to land 10 Sierra, 3 Bonita and 2 Rooster fish. They focused mostly on inshore fishing and had a great day out in the water.

Tuna is now located 27 miles offshore which is still a bit far but yesterday during Rick Miske's charter they managed to catch 3 yellowfin. The weight was 15 Lbs each which was not bad, especially for this time of year.
They also spotted Marlin but like we've been reporting it's not biting too well right now. Rick and his crew decided to go to Misiones de Kino to get their catch cooked up. Excellent choice!
Rick's crew was Jim Dykins, Chris Lund, Mark and Don Hardy and Paul Lautenschlager.
They had a great day fishing with Captain Omar and Mate Jesus.

Something that I want to mention and has nothing to do with the fishing for this day is that there is a new fish limit that our customers can catch and keep. Although most fish are abundant in Cabo San Lucas please keep in mind that most fish are considered ‘Vulnerable’ species and if no action is taken we can soon be out of fishing.

Fortunately, many Cabo San Lucas fishing charters, like us, take conservation seriously – knowing today's will determine whether future generations can enjoy sport fishing. Many fishing charters encourage catch and release for billfish and will enforce catch limits required by law. Be sure to respect the fish by following the rules.

Thanks
Nick

Feb. 1st...not too good.

Hey Guys,

Not much to report here in Cabo. Fishing yesterday was slow. Lots of Marlin were spotted by our crew and customers but these decided not to bite, just entertain. We had 2 boats going out but none of them had as much luck as their previous trip on Sunday.

Hopefully today will be a better day. Sea temperature is still 70F. Winds have been blowing between 10-15 mph and sea levels are 4-5 ft every 15 sec. It's not too bad and we got a report that the seas were calm even though it sounds or you'd think that it would be rough out there considering the weather.

February is looking good. I'll keep you posted

Nick

Thanks for the accurate forecast weather man!

Today was windy as a beast in Cabo and everywhere we looked claimed it was going to be a great day on the water. Great day if 10-12 foot swells is what you are into.

We had two boats on the water today, Rum Runnin and Pescado III. Pescado III chose to fish inshore for the majority of the day and that seemed to be the correct choice. Mike DeLuca, from Houston Texas, and his friends from Maine joined us today and had a great day on the water, albeit a little choppy. They had two Skipjack Tuna, one they claimed was almost 30 lbs, 3 Sierra and a Barracuda. The ladies were stoked on seeing Whales and Dolphins and said they had an awesome experience.

Stephen and Marie Ellison, didn't have nearly as good of a day. They chose to head offhsore in search of the Tuna the boys found the day before. As they got closer and closer to the schools of Porpoise and Yellowfin, the water got choppier and choppier until they finally had to call it quits and head back in. They have another trip scheduled for Wednesday and figured they would fish when the seas were a bit calmer. Good Call.

Sunday Tuna Slam

Sunday was a beautiful day in Cabo, slightly overcast but smooth seas and plentiful fishing. Everyone that fished today wanted to get offshore and chase some of the Yellowfin we had been hearing about.

Sam Bottoms and his buddies, Tony and Doug, down from the Denver area joined us today for their second day on the water. After fishing inshore on day one and slamming the inshore bite they were ready for some offshore fishing. They found the schools of Tuna and Porpoise, but couldn't get a bite to save their lives for some reason. Glad to have met Sam and his buddies and look forward to seeing them back down here in the near future.

Robert Deeson and his buddies and brothers, down from Houston, Texas, enjoying our Stay and Play Package, also had their second day on the water today. Captain Alex found the first school of Yellowfin about 32 miles from the Marina but wasn't getting great action with only 2 Yellowfin landed. They left that school and found another about 22 miles from the Marina where they were able to land 4 more Yellowfin. 6 Yellowfin, not a bad day!

April Bonds, a good friend of ours from here in Cabo, had her sister and a friend in town and wanted to show them a day on the water. April is notorious for getting skunked and having terrible fishing luck. We really should have just sent out her sister and buddy, and kept her back at the office. They were all over the Tuna, watching them feeding on the surface and jumping all around the boat. Total haul for the day, 1 Yellowfin Tuna.

Andy, Anne-Marie and Brett Harris, along with Dax Deschamp joined us for the first of two days on the water and they were the lucky ones today with the most fish. Fishing with Ramon and Juan on TantRum, they hauled in 8 Yellowfin and 1 huge 55" Mahi Mahi. Nice to see a Mahi caught, and a huge one at that.

-Ryan

Fishing for Tuna Saturday Jan. 29th.

Saturday was a great day out in the water, we had lots of success with Yellowfin Tuna this time. After a couple of weeks of being a bit slow, we can say that fishing on Saturday was GREAT!

We had Randy Shier and Bryan fish on RumRunnin with Captain Jesus and Mate Jesus (not the same person, but are father/son) for a full day trip. Their morning trip was a bit slow but once they were 20 Miles out they starting landing their first tuna. They fished by the Lighthouse and remained there until their trip was over. In the end, they had caught a total of 3 tunas.

Joe Ihelenfeld and his crew: John, Todd and Jason also fished for a full day but their luck was with Sierra (Spanish Mackerel) They fished aboard out 28' tantrum with Captain Americo and mate Juan. By the end of the day, they had landed 17 Sierras. Cool job.

And last but not least Joshua Loeske fished on Nuevo for his last trip during his Stay at Portofino Pedregal with the Stay and Play package. On this last day Josh and his crew landed 8 Yellowfin tunas. They got some back and had a great day in the water. The guys had an awesome time fishing and lodging. Hopefully they'll send their pics and vids soon!

Thanks for Reading.
