Yellowtails and Sieras are in the house!

Hey guys
Once again inshore fishing has been great these past two days. All our boats have come back with lots of fish and every single customer is pleased. That only brings a smile to our face.

Windy day here in Cabo but that did not stop our hard working captains and mates from getting fish for our customers.

Sharon and Dean Patsko fished on RumRunnin yesterday. They were on a cruise ship and are return customers. Once again they had an awesome time in the water with Captain Javier and Mate Jesus. They caught a total of 12 sierras and 1 skipjack.

Bob and Laurie Noll fished for a full day on our 31' RedRum with captain Omar and Mate Americo and they caught a bit of everything. Their catch consisted of 3 skipjacks, 4 yellowtails, 1 jack grevalle and 9 sierras.

On Tantrum we had James Glover and his crew who fished for a half day and also landed 3 yellowtails and 6 sierras.

Todays's fishing was also great on RedRum we had John and Brad Williams along with Conrad Parra who fished for a full day but decided to call it a day once they had their fish. They landed a total of 6 Yellowtail and 10 sierras. They fished on the pacific side and the weight was between 15-20 Lbs for the yellowtails while they had nice big sierras too.

Last but not least we had Greg McCarthy who chartered two of our boats. Nuevo and RumRunnin. They landed a total of 8 yellowtail between 5-30 Lbs on Nuevo and 7 Sierras and 5 Yellowtails on RumRunnin.

All our customers were very pleased and content. We hope they come back soon and make this a family trip each year.

Thanks

Lyle Kvarnlov's showing off the Yellowtails!



Darcy Ellenson and Lyle Kvarnlov from Warroad, Minnesota are fishermen for sure, they just hadn't done so in the Pacific before. Most of their fishing takes place up north in Lake Michigan and this was a new experience for them. Fishing with Javier, Ramon and Juan aboard Rum Runnin, Lyle and Darcy stayed busy all day with a variety of inshore fish including 3 nice Yellowtail, some Sierra and some Jack Crevalle. Darcy and Lyle couldn't say enough good things about the boys on Rum Runnin' which is always great.

Here is a picture Lyle sent us where he is showing off his 3 yellowtails on the back of RumRunnin with Juan to the side.

Thank you so much Lyle for sending this over and we hope to be your hosts real soon again.

Inshore bite is the best!

Good Morning guys,

Another succesful day at RedRum and last week of March 2011. As the end of this month gets closer, the warm weather is starting to show up and reminding us that Cabo IS the eternal Summer spot.

Yesterday all most of our boats decided to do inshore fishing and listening to our and our crew's suggestions regarding fishing. All those who did inshore fishing had a great fishing experience.

First group to show up was a shared charter with Jeff Carpenter, Kevin Finch and Kate & Tyge Blomberg 2 different couples that had an awesome experience with Captain Omar and Mate Americo. They fished the sea of cortez and landed a total of 13 Spanish Mackerel and 8 Yellowtails. Kate and Tyge decided to keep their catch and take it to a local restaurant to get it cooked up for lunch, while Jeff and Kevin decided to set free their catch (thumbs up for that guys!)

Off a cruise ship we had the remaining two groups.
On Tantrum we had Wayne, Lisa, Justin and Ryan Wolff fishing along with Captain Ramon and mate Juan. This cool family was the first to come off the cruise ship and they had one heck of a good time. They landed a total of 9 Spanish Mackerel and 4 Bonitas

And last but not least we had Roland Vanderberg and his crew who fished on RumRunnin with Captain Javier and mate Jesus. These guys as well as the other group decided to stick closer to shore and give it a shot with smaller fish. In the end they landed a total of 10 Spanish Mackerel..

Thanks for Reading.

Mixed Bag Monday...

4 species day for one of the boats today as inshore fishing was off the hook and everyone was getting bit!

Matt Gariup and his son Michael, unfortunately fell victim to a bout of sea-sickness before they could get into any fish. To those that are reading this and are worried about sea-sickness, Scopace is a great drug that your doctor can prescribe and we never see anyone come back with issues after taking Scopace.

Jim and Barb Sullivan were up next, and after having a great trip in December they were back again this time with friends Matt and Kim Prisk in tow. Jim thought the perfect day would be to catch a few fish and then give Matt something big to pull on. Captain Javier and Mate Jesus were up to the task. They pulled in 3 nice Yellowtail that Misiones de Kino was going to cook up for them and then the boys hooked a 70+lb Hammerhead Shark for Matt to pull on. What a day!

David Hartmann and Jenny Wangerow from Farmington, Ct and David and Jenny had an amazing inshore day with 3 Yellowtail, 2 Sierra, 5 Jack Crevalle and over 20 Bonita! They too will be enjoying their fish at both Misones de Kino and Hacienda Cocina and Cantina!

-Ryan

Yellowtail Bite is on, and all over the place....

Not only are the Yellowtail all over the coastline in 40-100 feet of water, but Alex caught one today out near the Jaime Bank. That being said, fishing has been excellent the last few days and today was no exception.

Darcy Ellenson and Lyle Kvarnlov from Warroad, Minnesota are fishermen for sure, they just hadn't done so in the Pacific before. Most of their fishing takes place up north in Lake Michigan and this was a new experience for them. Fishing with Javier, Ramon and Juan aboard Rum Runnin, Lyle and Darcy stayed busy all day with a variety of inshore fish including 3 nice Yellowtail, some Sierra and some Jack Crevalle. Darcy and Lyle couldn't say enough good things about the boys on Rum Runnin' which is always great.

Doug Ottinger, Neil Haunbaugh and Chris Thompson fished with Alex and Manuel aboard El Nuevo RedRum today and they had an interesting day. Doug wanted to fish for Tuna and Marlin and Alex and Manuel searched near and far, but couldn't find a school of Yellowfin. While trolling out at Jaime Bank they did however hook a Yellowtail, on a cedar plug of all lures. Random place for a Yellowtail for sure, as Alex wasn't sure he had ever caught one so far from shore. The guys also caught a nice Bonita to finish off the day.

50 Lbs Yellowfin and LOTS of Yellowtail!

Hey Guys,

Today's fishing picked up a bit and the Sea of Cortez was our destination.
We only had 2 boats going out.

The first group to come back was Kris and Linda Godden along with their 2 kids. They fished on RedRum for a full day in hopes of catching something fun for their kids and so they did. They caught a total of 2 Sierras. They would've gone a bit further but their young daughter got a bit sea sick and decided to stick to inshore rather than offshore. They had a great time fishing with us and are a very friendly and nice family. We hope to see them again soon.

The next group to come in was Ian White's. They fished on RumRunnin for a second time with Javier and Jesus and had a superb trip. They landed a total of 7 Yellowtails,between 10-15 Lbs and 7 Sierras. They had to come in a bit early because Ben Werbo's sister is getting married today here in Sunny Baja! I'm guessing if it weren't for the wedding the guy's would've probably stayed out much more longer trying to target some stripers!

Yesterday we also did a 50 Lb Yellowfin tuna. This was caught by Chris Wozniak who fished solo on our 28' tantrum. It took him 10-15 min to land it and was caught by the Jaime Bank. Nice size fish!

Michael Crawford and his daughter Sara fished on RedRum for a full day and landed a total of 8 Yellowtail and 4 Sierra. They too had a great time in the water.

And last but not least we had Bart Alexander and his party who fished for a half day on the 33' Nuevo along with Captain Alex and mate Manuel. They caught a total of 7 Sierras and had a great time in the water.

Thanks for reading and enjoy your weekend!

Doug Bank's grandson's first Marlin

Hey All,

I just got this picture from Doug Banks who fished on March 9th. You may remember our fish report about 8 yr old Jayden and his first Striped Marlin:

"...and last but certainly not least Doug Banks and his crew Richard Webor, Trent Cottom, William Totton and Jayden (one of these guys is from VALLEJO!! my home town)
fished on RumRunnin with Captain Javier and mate Jesus. Jayden who's only 8 years old landed his first Striped Marlin that was 120 Lbs 7 ft in only 16 min! strong little boy! He was stoked to have reeled in that big fish all on his own...oh yeah, he also told me he slept for an hour and a half while trolling for the fish haha.
This awesome crew from Northern Cali fished by the Golden Gate and aside from the Marlin they also landed 4 Sierra and 2 Bonita. Congratulations Jayden! "





The picture Doug sent me is basically a picture to backup the fish Report.

Thanks Doug, hope to hear from you soon.

2 more Marlin's on the board.

Offshore fishing is the thing right now, I swear it's even though marlin is found year round here in Cabo, January - May is not the Primo season for this fish. However; we've had some lucky groups this past week and this week we started off good.

WE had four boats going out but not all of them were able to land fish. I will omit the names and groups who did not catch fish just for good ol' sake!

Matagorda Texas CCA member Judy Brown decided to book a Play and Stay package for her party of 6. They fished on our 33' boat Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel. the morning was a bit slow but picked up in the afternoon. It seemed like another boat was going to come back with no luck, but a change of events...
As they were heading back to the Marina, they spotted and landed a 94inch 120 Lbs Striped Marlin. I honestly don't remember the name of the person who caught the trophy fish because there was so many people in the office, but since they will be fishing again tomorrow, I'm pretty sure I'll figure it out and update the name of the lucky person who caught the Marlin. It was Released in the end. It took 20 min to land.

Craig McDonnold, Cody Wisniewski and Waggoner McDonnold fished on our 31' RedRum for a full day of fishing and they too had a successful fishing trip. They went out with Captain Omar and Mate Jesus and landed a Striped Marlin 9 ft that was aprox. 160 Lbs. They will be fishing again on Thursday so hopefully their next trip will be as good as this one!

Jeff Benon's 8 Ft 150 Lbs Striped Marlin

Hello All,

Things have been ok here in Cabo, as the days go by the temperature keeps getting warmer each day. I can just imagine this will be a hot summer!
Days have been sunny and winds pick up in the afternoon but nothing major, hasn't stopped us from catching fish.

On Sunday March 13th we had Jeff Blackburn, SamDeMaria, Kris Tarpey and Mike Tarpey fishing on our 31' RedRum with Captain Omar and mate Ramon for a half day. They mostly wanted small fish so did inshore. They ended up with 12 Sierras being caught in total. Not all of them were kept.

Second and last group fishing that day was Thomas and Jeff Benson fishing on RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Jesus. These guys fished the Sea of Cortez and Jeff landed a nice 8 Ft 150 Lbs Striped Marlin which took him 25 min. A Striper!
Tom sent down the pictures of this Trophy fish for Jeff. Check them out.
Congratulations Jeff!

In the first picture you'll see Jeff all happy with his striper but it sure wore him out! Check out pic number 2 where Jeff is just relaxing after a long 25 min of hard work....or maybe it was the other way around, first relaxin and then catching the fish??? I have no idea, but you can go ahead and decide for yourselves. The thing is they caught fish!

another striper!

Hey Guys,

Well not too much to report on Saturday's fishing.
John Humphrey from CCA LA, fished on his second trip with us in which another striped Marlin was caught and released. This Marlin was bigger than the one they caught on Thursday. It was 110 inches and weighed 150 Lbs.

Awesome job you guys.

Our other groups were not as successful as we'd of loved but this is fishing.

8 yr Old Jayden lands his first Marlin!

Wow this has been such a busy day.
Tsunami alerts, leaving the office and coming back after everything went back to normal, traffic is a bit crazy on the way from San Jose to Cabo and a lot of people at the beach just chillaxin! well I think that's better than having a bunch of people freaking out because of the possible Tsunami!

Anyhow with all the commotion I was almost forgetting to let you in the fish report for these past two days.

We can't complain, fishing is slow but we've been doing really good. I can't say the same for all of our customers who unfortunately weren't so lucky.

Robert Sorensen fished on RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Jesus and they caught and released 2 striped Marlins. One of them was 140 lbs while the other only 120Lbs. Still great size fish! John and his crew had a great time out in the water after they had a small problem on their way to our office.

CCA LA members John Humphrey and his crew Richard, Sam, Chuck and John fished on nuevo for the first time with Alex and Manuel. on their first trip John Humphrey landed his first Striped Marlin. It was an 8ft 140 Lbs trophy fish! John was scheduled to fish again today but with the port being closed we has rescheduled for tomorrow. Let's hope he has another awesome day out there!

On Wednesday March 9th we also had a great day of fishing.
Mark and Loreen Gastineau and fished on Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Ramon and during their trip they landed 8 sierra. Focused on an offshore trip but they had no luck with Marlin.


From Ohio we had Todd Grisier, David Davis, Sabrina Grisier and Adea Davis who fished a full day aboard RedRum with Captain Omar and Mate Americo. They landed 6 sierra, 1 Roosterfish, 1 Yellowtail and 1 jack grevalle. Not a bad day for inshore fishing huh?

and last but certainly not least Doug Banks and his crew Richard Webor, Trent Cottom, William Totton and Jayden (one of these guys from VALLEJO!! my home town)
fished on RumRunnin with Captain Javier and mate Jesus. Jayden who's only 8 years old relled in his first Striped Marlin that was 120 Lbs 7 ft in only 16 min! strong little boy! He was stoked to have reeled in that big fish all on his own...oh yeah, he also told me he slept for an hour and a half while trolling for the fish haha.
This awesome crew from Northern Cali fished by the Golden Gate and aside from the Marlin they also landed 4 Sierra and 2 Bonita. Congratulations Jayden!

Port to be open by 3:00 PM

Hey guys,

This just in. Port Captain has dictated that the Cabo San Lucas port will reopen after 3:00 PM Today. Our charters scheduled for tomorrow are good to go!

Tsunami Warning in Cabo

Hi Everybody,

By this time I'm pretty sure most of you have heard the breathtaking news of the 8.9 earthquake in Japan, our prayers go out to the people in Japan.

As of this morning at 5:30 AM the Port Captain has closed the port of Cabo San Lucas to all vessel traffic. We currently don't know what time it will re-open. Last status that we heard was that the port would remain closed through out the entire day. We will keep you posted through twitter to let you know exactly what goes on in the port.

We are expecting a high tide this mid morning at approximately 11:40 so, depending on the heigth of the tsumani swell, we may have surge in the marina that would bring water over the top of the malacon. Until right now (11:20) everything seems normal here. It seems to me this is just a state of alert like last February 2010.

"At first everyone here was just upset that the port had been closed, as it is a known fact that the safest place for a vessel to be during a tsunami is at sea, but on further reflection it makes a lot of sense. The last thing the Port Captain wants is a bunch of money greedy water taxis/glass bottom boats trying to load/unload passengers off the beach while this is taking place, or trying to take them through the arch."

Fishing activities were cancelled for today and we thank Dave Shun, Douglas Jilek and John Humphrey and his crew for being understanding. Our prayers go out to the people of Japan, and to those living on low lying islands in the Pacific. With a 13 foot surge in Japan, but weaking as it travels toward us, there is still a lot of possible damage to atolls and islands.

A good day.

Nick here with the details of today's fish report.

So far Dave & Matthew Wonchala came back from their half day trip on a Panga. And things didn't go too good when they first took off. It was a slow morning for them. They fished inshore and while coming back they landed 2 bonitas.
Of course they hope to catch something bigger on their last trip scheduled for Thursday. They have a positive feeling things will get better.

Timothy Suter and Sibila Munoz were the second group to come in. They were very cheerful in the morning and ready to start landing fish. Unfortunately I didn't see them come back as they decided to head out to some place and get their fished cooked for lunch. They fished with Captain Javier and Mate Jesus on RumRunnin and their fishing trip consisted of a total of 14 Sierras! Not too bad. They did mostly inshore fishing. No Marlin spotted.

Bob Kollross' party was the 3rd and 4th to come back this day. we had a total of 11 guys fishing by the 1150 bank. 6 of guys from this party were fishing with Captain Jesus and Mate Manuel, They landed a total of 12 sierra's and 1 yellowtail
On RedRum we had the remaining 5 guys with Captain Omar and Mate Americo. They landed a 8ft 165 Lbs Striped Marlin and 8 Sierra! This group had a great day in the water. They did not come back to the office as they decided to stay at the scales to get their picture taken with their fish.

Thanks for reading.

Monday March 6th, 2011

A breezy day in Cabo keeps the temperature just right as the sun shines down!

Pescado III on a half day trip was the first boat back today with a fun crew from Minneapolis and Tempe, Arizona. They were glad to get out of the chilly weather up north! They headed out to the Sea of Cortez in hopes of catching a Marlin. They were in luck, amidst all the whale watching they were doing, they reeled in a nice 93" Striped Marlin. Everyone had a chance to get on the rod and reel and experience what a great fight those guys put up. Nice job!


Second boat back was RumRunnin with the Hofer Family from North Dakota. These guys were all smiles despite being up so early on their spring break vacation! They eagerly hopped aboard with Captain Javier and Mate Jesus and headed out to the Sea of Cortez in hopes of Marlin. They went out about 20 miles along the shore and about 17 miles out, but the Marlin weren't having it, though they got lots of whale watching action. It was a bit rough out that way with the windy weather but they were able to reel in 6 Sierra along shore. They were stoked as everyone got a chance on the reel, more so the boys! They are off to enjoy their catch for lunch at Mango Cantina.

Next back was Father Rick Moore and his daugher Rachel and her boyfriend Joseph, visiting from college in Washington D.C. Dad along with these two college sophmores were ready for a fun day on the water during their spring break aboard Tantrum with Captain Ramon. They headed out to the Pacific Side and decided it was a bit too rough so headed to the Sea of Cortez about 7 miles out. They were in the midst of lots of Striped Marlin jumping around at the surface. They were finally able to get one to hang on and bring him aboard! A nice 9 footer. Great job guys!

Buddies Phil and Mike headed out for a second day of fishing this time aboard RedRum. They had a fantastic day inshore on the Sea of Cortez. Between the two of them they caught some 24 Sierra. More than enough for dinner!

Roger, Paige, Rebecca, Nicholas and Nancy from Indiana and Tempe, Arizona headed out on El Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel. They headed way out on the Sea of Cortez to Punta Gorda where Nancy reeled in her 96" Striped Marlin on a ballyhood lure! They were all ecstatic. While they were way out there they did happen upon some Tuna, but none made it up to the boat. They were also happy to bring in one Sierra for a late lunch this afternoon.

Well that's all I've got for today.

We thank you for reading and for your business!

Sierra Sunday!

Well it's not too often that I'm holding down the fort at the RedRum Office. With Ryan out in Houston at the last day of the Hunting and Fishing Show and Nick taking a day off it's just the pregnant chick at the office here to report what has been going on out on the water!

We had a Wolfe pack from Tennessee this morning aboard RedRum. Kelly, Mayfol, Dennis, Bret, Art and Paci went out on a half day trip with Americo as Captain today. They stayed primarily close to shore, heading about 15 miles north on the Pacific side. They reeled in about 15 Sierra which kept them busy all morning! All pretty good sized too. They came back happy as clams after they released their catch.

Father and son duo Matthew and David Wonghala from Alaska headed out on their first day of three fishing days. Heading out with Captain Javier, they fished out on the Pacific side near 95 bank. They were able to see lots of Marlin jumping around but couldn't get one of them to bite. They'll be back for more on Tuesday and hope to have some more action and not just see it!

Have a great Sunday afternoon and give your loved ones a big hug today!

Thanks, Brooke

Saturday, March 5, 2011

Not much, but worth a shot!

Unfortunately not too much happened yesterday guys. Even though it seemed like a great day, fishing was slow. It's fishing not catching!

On Tantrum we had Brice Mitchel and his family fishing for a half day off a cruise ship (which there was a mixup! but in the end everything worked fine) They fished for 5 hours and ended with 1 sierra

On Marlin Too we had Jeremy Flynn and his crew Duncan, Nick and Charles who after having their flight delayed on Wednesday and switching their fishing trip had an excellent day on their first day of fishing. They had a total of 2 striped Marlins but in the end only caught 1 that weighed 120 Lbs. Unfortunately the other marlin got away.
Today they are fishing again on this 38' blackfin and hopefully their day will be even better than yesterday.

Pacific fishing is better!

What's up ya'll

RedRum is here to give you the report for the first two days of March 2011
As the days go by the temperature here in Cabo keeps rising. We're still no where near the 100F but in a month or so we probably will be.

This month has started off with high 83F and low 70's, sea levels are 3-4 ft at 16 seconds and the average wind speed is 10-20 MPH.

Fishing right now has been taking place on the Golden Gate Bank and the Jaime Bank.
The pacific side is where you want to go fishing as the sea temperature there has been quite warm these past couple of days.

On March 1st we had two of our boats go out fishing.
Larry Tait and his crew from New Jersey fished with Captain Omar and Mate Manuel on the 33' Nuevo. Throughout their fishing trip they came across several sierras and landed 10 of them with an average weight of 15 Lbs. They also caught a Yellowtail about 10 Lbs. Had a striped Marlin on the line but in the end it got away.

Kent Eikenberry, Thomas Butler, Patsy Butler and Nadine L. Eikenberry also had a great time in the water. While they were coming in I thought they had caught nothing but it turns out that they also had a total of 2 Yellowtails.

On March 2nd

Our first group started off with a shared boat Harley and Virginia Maurer from Neudorf,Canada and Glenn Smith from Portland Oregon fished on RumRunnin with our crew Javier and Jesus. It was a good day in the water for this shared group, they landed a total of 4 Sierras.

And last but not least Return Customer James Halbur with his party of 4 formed by David Orcutt, David Schooff, David Naples and Jim Lewis fished on Nuevo with Captain Alex and mate Jesus. Their morning started off with tossing a coin to see who would be the first one to reel them in. In the end James Halbur won and got to land the Tuna. They caught a total of 5 yellowfin with an average weight of 10-15 Lbs on the Pacific.

Thanks for reading.
