8 Striped Marlin!

Hey there, definitely 92F today, very very hot day but still it's way better than having cool weather here in Cabo!

Before I begin off with the fish report I want to wish Ryan Donovan a Happy Birthday, today he's out in the water with a group of friends just chillin and having a good time. I'll see that he posts *some pics of his awesome theme birthday bash! Happy birthday bro!

So today was an awesome day 8 Striped Marlin in total. All our boats caught Marlin, some were released most of them except 1 which unfortunately had to be landed because it was too hurt.

First group is CCA member Spencer Falls who fished today on Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel. This group caught and released a total of 3 Striped Marlin which weighed 120, 140 and 170 Lbs! nice job. Spencer will be fishing again tomorrow, same boat, same crew and we hope he does as good as he did today.

From Chicago and San Francisco we had Nick DeDomonic and his party of 12 fishing on RedRum and Mucho Loco.

The guys on RedRum caught and releasde a 70 Lbs Striped Marlin. Not a big one but still they had a great time in the water and were stoaked with their catch!

Mucho Loco is still not back, but I hear they also had a marlin, let's see and will post the info!

Scott Jones and his group of 10 also fished on two boats today. One of the groups fished on RumRunnin with captain Javier and Mate Jesus. They caught 2 striped Marlin. One of them was 150 Lbs and was 101 inches. These guys were extremely happy when they came back to the office, and who wouldn't after such a great day!

On Tantrum with CAptain Ramon and Mate Juan the other group also landed 2 Striped Marlin the biggest one being 108inches and weighed 150 Lbs! Not bad either. Congratulations to both groups for their awesome day in the water. Time to celebrate with some cold beers to make up for this hot day.

Mara's Team: Cabo San Lucas

Today in Waupaca, Wisconsin, hundreds of friends and family are gathering for a walk in honor of Mara Stange. Mara's father, Mark, is a long-time friend and customer of ours and this years has been a tiring one. Mark's daughter, after many Doctor visits and tests, was diagnosed with a bran tumor called Pediatric Low Grade Astrocytoma or "PLGA.

Unfortunately, there is no cure for this type of cancer and the treatments that do exist are outdated, toxic and ultimately toturous to the thousands of kids affected. Bran tumors are the # 1 cause of cancer death in children, and the #2 overall cause of childhood death behind accidents. PLGA's are the most common type of childhood brain tumor, yet sadly, funding and research for better treatments and an eventual cure lad dramatically behind other cancers.


Mara is a tough little 7 year old who is going about her life as best as she can, and while she knows that she is sick, her parents have decided not to give her all the horrifying details. Some children live with the condition for a few years, others for a few months.

While we couldn't be in Waupaca today to join Mark and the hundreds of friends and family that have joined the walk, we are supporting him as best as we can with the pink t-shirts you see our crew wearing today. Give thanks for your health, and say a small prayer for a darling little girl.

More Marlin to the charts!

All I can say is that Ronald Malone Sr and Jr are a very lucky team, I don't want to jinx them since they are still fishing, but in their second trip which took place yesterday aboard Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel, they caught and released 4 striped Marlin that averaged between the 100 Lbs to 140.

They fished on the sea of cortez side on the 1150 and 95 bank. Today is their last day fishing with us and they are still in the water, haven't heard from their captain yet, so hopefully when they come back they give us another great result.

We also had 3 more boats going out yesterday but they did not have as much luck as we and they would've expected, still they came back to the office and said they had a great time in the water.

Today we have all our boats plus partner boats in the water, we wish them all good luck and I'll let you know how they did tomorrow!

Sea of Cortez is where the action is!

Hey ya'll

Happy Humpday! two more days and the weekend is here! Nice warm weather here in cabo, we're almost reaching 90F and the mornings do start feeling warmer than before, so hopefully by the beginning of next month which is right around the corner, we'll be saying bye to the morning light jackets and sweathshirts.

Yesterday's fishing was great, it's all taking place on the Sea of Cortez like previous weeks. Marlin is still out there people, we've been very successful with this fish.

Jeff Gigoux fished solo on RedRum with Captain Americo and mate Edgar, he wen't offshore and decided to fish for Marlin rather than smaller species. By the end of the day he had caught and released a 160 Lbs Striper!


On their second and last fishing trip for this year, Brad and Jennifer Boehm (whose name I misspelled on our white board) were on RumRunnin with Captain Jesus and Mate Jesus and on this trip they caught and released a 7 ft 160 Lbs Striped Marlin. Jennifer said seas were way more calm than last week so that's always a plus!

On a half day trip we had Lindsay and Scott Holsenback who fished on tantrum with captain Ramon and Mate Juan. Their catch consisted of 1 yellowtail and 8 Spanish Mackerel. All the fish they caught was caught and released, and they had an awesome time doing inshore fishing.

And last but certainly not least we had Ronald Sr and Jr Malone fishing on Nuevo on their first trip out of three. Captain Alex and Mate Manuel worked it off and managed to catch and release 2 striped Marlin. All of this by the 1150 bank.

Succesful Saturday!

Another nice day in Cabo with warm temperatures and great fishing!

We had 3 boats go out today two of them were full days and one was a half day.
Fishing took place on the Sea of Cortez side by the 1150 bank and the gordo banks.

From New York Georgle Colotti, Jeremy Colotti and Robert Venezia fished for a full day on Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel. These guys from CCA will be fishing with us for the next couople of days and hopefully they will be as successful as today. They caught and released a total of 2 Striped Marlin one of them weighing 200Lbs while the other was 150Lbs. Very good! This awesome group will surely have fun in their next trip tomorrow and they seemed eager to go back into the water.

From New Jersey we had Bill Hammill and Greg Rutollo fishing on Tantrum with Captain Ramon and mate Jesus. These guys did a half day and caught a total of 6 Spanish Mackerels and 2 jack grevalles. They had a great day in the water, and promised to be back soon!

Chris Kelleher fished on Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel they caught a total of 4 Striped Marlin whose average size was 102" with the weight being 160 Lbs.

Without a doubt this was one of the best fishing days this whole month. Luckily this whole week has been great for fishing and lets hope it stays that way!

Thanks
Nick

More Marlin and now Dorado!

Another succesful Saturday here in Cabo guys!

Our customers did great in the water on April 22nd. We had 3 of our boats go out and all came back with fish.

On RedRum, our 31', Matt & Laura Muldoon along with Tyler and Maura Wynn fished for a full day on the Sea of Cortez Side. They stuck to fishing for something big and not go for small fish. Their total catch consisted of 2 striped Marlins that weighed around 140 Lbs each.

From New Jersey, Amy and Dale Barlet fished for a second day on our 33' Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel. Their total catch for this second trip was 1 Marlin (100 Lbs) 10 spanish mackerels, 1 yellowtail and 10 bonita. This group had a great fishing trip.

And last but not least Bryan Clinton and Maryann Markla fished on our 32' RumRunnin with Captain Jesus and Mate Ramon. This team caught the very first Dorado that weighed 30 Lbs. WE haven't seen a Dorado in a long time! so congrats to these two!
ASide from the Dorado, they also reeled in a 7 ft Marlin and 6 Spanish Mackerel.

Marlin, Marlin, Marlin!

Hey Everyone,

Are all you out celebrating Easter Week?? Here at the office we are working and making customers very VERY happy!

We've been gone for 2 days but here is our fish report for March 20th and 21st.
Before I begin I want to congratulate Patrick and Jennifer Quigley for their wedding anniversary. Nice way to celebrate out in the water and with a Marlin! Congrats you two on behalf of the whole RedRum Staff

And starting off the fish report, lets begin with Patrick and Jennifer Quigley who fished twice with Javier and Jesus on RumRunnin. On their first trip which was on the 20th they went offshore looking for big fish and came across an 8ft 140 Lbs Striped Marlin. They were a bit hesitant in going out yesterday since they felt seas were a bit too rough. Luckily they decided to come and I'm glad they did because on the 21st they also caught a 120 Lbs Striped Marlin along with 1 Sierra and 1 Yellowtail. They were stoaked, happy and were heading to the beach to drink a nice glass of Champagne!

Frank Woo also fished on the 20th and 21st. He fished with Alex and Manuel on Nuevo. These guys from Sacramento California had an awesome trip. Even though they decided to start a bit late they were still a lucky group. ON day 1 they caught a total of 2 yellowtail, 11 sierra and 8 Jack Grevalles. Yesterday, they headed offshore by Sea of Cortez and caught a Striped Marlin about 120 lbs. Congrats!

Michael Maffucci and Jose Matos also decided to give the offshore fishing a try and take that risk in going out 35 miles for big fish. These guys from New York landed 2 Striped Marlins. One of them was 100 Lbs while the second one was 130 Lbs. They fished on Tantrum with Captain Ramon and Mate Juan.

From Phoenix Arizona Craig Collins and Steve Ruffin fished on RedRum with Captain Americo and mate Edgar on April 21st. They caught a total of 15 Sierra and 1 amberjack. They too had an awesome trip with RedRum.

And last but not least we had Robet Marcoux who just wanted to do inshore fishing on a panga for 5 hours and catch some yellowtail. He landed a yellowtail and 3 sierras. Lost a few but still had enought for dinner yesterday night.

Thanks for Reading.

Good Fishing!

Hey Guys,

Great Tuesday it was. We had such an awesome fishing day. Pacific side for inshore fishing is starting to pick up while bigger fish such as Marlin is still on the Sea of Cortez and about 1.5 hrs away from here. Water is still a bit cool.

We had John Schipper and his party of 6 fish on RedRum with Captain Americo and Mate Edgar. These guys decided to head out to the Sea of Cortez in search of Marlin and not only did they catch 1 but 2!
They wen't out 30 miles and the weights were aprox. 120 and 130 Lbs.

Brad & Jennifer Bohem and Daniel 7 Kathy Brusca fished for a full day on RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Jesus. These guys had a great day in the water and even though it was a bit choppy out there, they still had fun and managed to catch 2 nice size Yellowtails. The weights were 40 Lbs each. They took the fish back home and were going to enjoy a nice meal. Their next trip is scheduled for next Tuesday and I know they will want to go for something bigger this time!

And last but not least we had the Paleczny party fishing on Nuevo with Jesus and Manuel as their crew. These guys did great! they caught a total of 7 yellowtail, 1 jack grevalle and 6 spanish mackerel. Congrats to all our customers for their successful fishing trip!

Sunday Session

After running 35 miles to Iman Bank and seeing countless Marlin the day before, the two crews that fished Sunday were eager to get back and give it another shot. Couldn't go up there two days and a row and find Marlin that wouldn't eat could we?

Absolutely not.

Mike Rutkowski took out his son Michael and friend Stephen Zelenka aboard Rum Runnin' today. Sr. had caught a Marlin before, but he was anxious to give Jr. a shot at one as well. Captain Jesus was up to the task. He ran up to Iman bank and found plenty of Marlin free jumping, but not many tailers. After rigging a dead Ballyhoo on the shotgun pole, Jr. had his fish. After a 25 minute battle Michael had landed his first Striped Marlin. Congrats buddy!

The Duncan clan was also keen to catch a Marlin and they were fishing aboard RedRum. This is a very similar story to the one above, only the roles were reversed. Jacob Duncan had caught a Marlin before, however, his dad Franklin had not. Americo and Manuel also ran up to Iman bank and after a long day they were finally able to hook one on a live pitch bait. Franklin, congrats on your first billfish as well!

Best,
Ryan

Rough Saturday, Smooth Seas

While we had beautifully calm seas on Saturday, the fish didn't want to cooperate. Not sure if the feeding frenzy Friday kept the fish from biting Saturday or if the big full moon had something to do with it, but the Marlin didn't want to eat. You can lead a horse to water right?

Chris Vine fished a half-day with his wife Christal, friends Ken and Becky Roux, as well as Brian Roux and Jaime Fisher. Captain Javier on Rum Runnnin', stayed inshore on the half-day and the six anglers caught a few Skippies and 3 Sierra that they brought back to cook up for dinner. Chris is thinking about fishing the Western Outdoor News Tuna Jackpot with us this year after being impressed by the boats and crews.

RedRum, El Nuevo RedRum and TantRum all came back shaking their heads wondering why they couldn't get Marlin to bite as they all saw multiple Marlin.

Captain Pancho on Marlin Too was the only one able to get a few fish to bite as anglers Sean Plummer and Jeff Koll each got to catch and release a nice Striped Marlin. This was Sean's first Billfish and he was stoked!

Best,
Ryan

Marlin is back in action!

So the 411 we got on the marlin bite was actually true! Punta Gorda is the hot spot right now for Marlin fishing. This place is an hour and so away from Cabo San Lucas, so if you are doing a full day charter you definitely have to give it a shot, who knows, maybe you'll be the next person to catch and release a Striper!

Our first customer to come back today was Jason Perri and his party of 6 (Frank, Michael, Stefani and two small kids) these guys did a half day trip and only focused on small fish. Their trip with Alex and Manuel was fun and they caught a total of 1 skipjack and 1 sierra. Not bad for a half day.

Mark and Mellissa Kellenberger fished on Tantrum for a full day with Captain Ramon and Mate Juan. This couple from Michigan had an awesome time today. They landed 2 striped Marlin that took them 30-45 min to reel in. They were 140 & 170 Lbs. AWESOME!


And last but not least Jason Langen, Jenn Lempiala, Tylor Squire & Courtney Camelot fished on RedRum with Omar and Americo and they also had a great day in the water. They only focused on Marlin and took the suggestion to go to Punta Gorda. By 8 AM they were ready to start reeling. They landed 2 striped Marlin and took them 30-35 min each to get them in. They weighed 120 & 160 Lbs! Another great fishing experience. Hope these guys from Canada spread the word!

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend.

More inshore bite

Inshore fishing is still great. Not a lot of our customers are up to go out 30 miles off for Marlin so they decide to stick with inshore fishing. And yesterday we got heads up on the Marlin Bite which is great by the Gordo Banks, like an hour and 15 min away.

Fred and Krista Moore fished for a half day on RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Jesus and these folks from Houston Texas had a great day in the water, they enjoyed it all the way. They caught 6 Sierra, 1 Red Snapper and 1 Pampano.

From Idaho we had Earle Giles and Bill Aim fishing for a half day on a Panga boat and they landed 4 yellowtails. Not bad! great job guys.

On Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel we had Scott and Adan Lawford along with Matthew Dill fishing for a full day and they managed to catch and release 1 striped Marlin that weighed 120 Lbs and was 9 ft. This was caught by the 1150 bank.

And last but not least Bryan Bledsoe fished with his family for a full day trip and they caught 6 sierra on day 1 of their 2 trips scheduled with RedRum. Hopefully tomorrow they will have another awesome trip.

Thanks
Nick

Marlin, Sierra and Bonitas. Great Weekend!

Hey Ya'll.
Great weekend here in Cabo, tourism a bit mellow but not too bad. It gave me a bit of time to get done with office stuff I had been draggin for a while now!
Anyhow on to the fishing report.


On Saturday April 9th
We had David Daniel, Vickie Foley, Napoleon Espinoza and Liz Espinoza fishing on our 33' Nuevo for a full day. These guys had an awesome trip fishing on The Sea of Cortez, specifically on the 1150 bank. They landed a 160 Lbs striped Marlin. They all shared turns and gave it a try. It was a great day for these folks, glad they enjoyed it.

Sean and Anne Greene went out for their second trip and also landed a 130 Lbs Striped Marlin and 1 yellowtail. Their final number for both days was 2 striped Marlin and 1 yellowtail. They fished on the Sea of Cortez as well. Once again their crew was Omar and Americo from our 31' RedRum

Keith Wright fished for a half day on Tatrum alongside Renee Wright. They had a good time in the water as well and caught a total of 6 Spanish Mackerel.


Yesterday we had 2 boats go out and they were both half days, still fishing was good!

Keith McIntosh and his party of 7 fisihed on our 33' Nuevo with Captain Alex and mate Manuel. They landeded a total of 10 Spanish Mackerel and 15 Skipjacks. Not a bad day at all!

And last but not least Alan Humphrey, Michael Humphrey and Paula Perez from Mexico City also joined us in half day fishing trip with Captain Omar and mate Americo. Their fishing consisted of 5 Spanish Mackerel and 1 Yellowtail.

Thanks for reading.

Stripers on the Sea of Cortez!

Hey All,

Everything has been calm here in Cabo and we hadn't updated our fish report because the last few days there hasn't been much to report.

However, yesterday was different. We fished on the Sea of Cortez by the 1150 bank and fishing was good. Especially for Marlin which is what we caught and released yesterday.

On Tantrum we had Dale Clayton, Theresa Clayton, Garrett Clayton and Brett Thompson who fished with Captain Ramon and mate Juan on a full day trip. These guys landed an 8 ft 150 Lbs Striped Marlin in 40 mins. It's not a bad day at all considering several facts such as strong winds, not the right time for Marlin and basically weather conditions. I'm glad they had a fun trip. They came back to the office really excited and stoked with their day in the water. They'll be sending pictures and video soon!

Our second and last group to fish yesterday was Sean and Anne Greene who booked a two day fishing trip with Captain Omar and Mate Americo. On their first day they also landed a Striped Marlin by the 1150 bank and it was aprox. 140 Lbs. Today they're out fishing again and were planning on going for something smaller this time. We'll keep you posted on what their final catch was!

Have a great Saturday.

Let us be your hosts in the water!

Hey Guys,

Not much going on here, just keeping busy in the office with paper work.
Unfortunately we only had 1 charter today but it went well.

Bruce Levy decided to do a solo panga trip this morning and ended up with 3 Sierras and 1 Rooster fish. This nice guy from Houston Texas had a great time fishing and was going to cook up his catch tomorrow night.

Seas are smooth and winds are calm and it keeps getting hotter and hotter every day BUT the best part is NO HUMIDITY!

Have a great one!

Striped Marlin + Yellowtail = RedRum!

Hey guys, Yellow tail and Striped Marlin is what's going on today in Cabo.
We are starting off April with great luck! and hopefully you guys can make it down here, come fishing with us and experience an awesome Fishing trip.

First group to come in today after a half day of fishing was the Hersey Family. Jack, Max, Julie, Anne, Nikala Hersey and Cory Weynes fished on the 38' Blackfin Marlin Too. Some of you guys might remember this great looking boat. The Hersey family had an awesome time out in the water, they are a super cool family and it did seem like they had a blast. They did inshore fishing the whole time and landed a total of 2 yellowtail, 9 Spanish Mackerel and 1 Bonita (C/R). Not bad for a half day!


Another great group fishing with us today and second to come in was the Hanson Group formed by Steve, David, Ryan Muller and Mark Hammer fished on Tantrum (after a long morning) with Captain Ramon and mate Juan. They did a half day of fishing, had fun in the water and in the end landed a total of 14 Spanish Mackerels. They were gonna get some Ceviche done for the afternoon snack.

And last but not least we had the Olson family with Alan, Drwe, Kye, Jasmine Olson and Anthony Lovell. This group fished for a full day on Nuevo, our 33', with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel. Their fishing took place by the 1150 bank and had a very successful trip. They landed a total of 2 Striped Marlin which were 106IN. A Marlin was released afterwards. Waiting for the pictures to come in so we can show them off to all of you!
