Tuna on the Pacific, Marlin on the Sea of Cortez Side

Well I thought we were going to have more rainy days but I guess I was wrong. In the two years that I've been here I've only seen 4 rainy days! That basically means that 726 days were absolute sunshine!

Tuesday was a cloudy morning and by the time the boats took off, it started to rain and it lasted like 2 hours. Of course this did not have an impact on the fishing. We caught a total of 32 yellowfin and 2 striped Marlin.

From San Celemente we had Steve Milner along with Connor Pasne and Jacob Contreras fishing for a full day on our 32' RumRunnin. During their 8 hours of fishing with Captain Javier and mate Jesus they landed a total of 7 Tuna.

From Delaware and Los Angeles Jorge Goytisolo and his party of 4 fished on our 33' Nuevo with Captain Alex and Manuel. Their fishing consisted of 12 yellowfin tuna. biggest being 40 Lbs and released 2 Striped Marlin that were 96" and 106", the biggest Marlin weighed and aprox 180 Lbs.

Robert Mitchell fished for two days on RedRum with Captain Omar and mate Americo. During their first trip they landed a total of 13 yellowfin tuna. They took some to a restaurant and gave the rest to the crew. Brad and Robert had such a great day out there that they decided to give it another shot in search of Dorado. During their second trip yesterday they caught 1 Marlin around 110Lbs and 1 tuna. A little slower than day 1 but they still had an awesome time.

From New Jersey we had Tara Smith and her party of 8. They fished aboard our 38' partner boat Marlin Too. They were out for a half day trip and only caught 2 yellowfin tuna. Some of the folks got a bit seasick, but they still had a great time. They took some fish to Misiones de Kino to get it cooked up for the night.

On Cabo Chica we had Mike Ray and his party of 5 fishing for a full day. Their morning started a bit rough but in the end everything worked out great. They landed a total of 5 yellowfin tuna weighing around 15 Lbs each. They took all their fish to Misiones for some nice 6 way cooking of their catch. I'm sure they enjoyed their meal.

And last but not least Brandon Emory from Austin Texas along with Jade Burgoyne fished for a full day on our 32' RumRunnin. They caught a Yellowfin between 35-40 Lbs. They had a great day and I'm sure Brandon will come back soon. He's a repeat customer and loved RedRum so much that he decided to come back again. Hopefully we'll see him soon.

4th of July fishing!

4th of July fishing was great here in Cabo. No rain during the day which is even better but a few raindrops don't hurt anybody.
We had all of our boats booked. Just like last year, not much going on here for locals regarding 4th of July but you sure can see firework displays and buffets at resorts which is where our customers are staying so at least they had a great 4th of July.

On partner boat Rosy we had Dan Colman fishing along with Nicolas and Len and they released a total of 2 striped Marlin and caught 7 yellowfin tuna. Their captain was Luis. Great day!

From CCA Texas we had The Fischer Party, who had their first fishing trip on Saturday and they were celebrating Michelle's birthday. On day one all 6 went out fishing for a full day and landed 1 dorado and caught and released 2 striped Marlin (94"&96")
Yesterday only the guys took the trip and they landed 3 yellowfin tuna. Today they have taken off to go back home but I know they had a blast and were very pleased and satisfied with their whole trip from lodging to fishing! Congrats and we hope you had a special birthday Michelle.

on RumRunnin we had Michael DeHart and Christy Hackea fishing for a full day with Javier and Jesus. They caught a total of 5 yellowfin tuna and just like the rest of the groups had a blast out there. Thanks!

From Denver Co, Tyson Smith and Shelby Smith fished for a half day on Tantrum and landed a 120 Lbs 6 1/2 Striped Marlin. These folks were excited that it's not usual to catch a Marlin on a half day trip but they did. It's not unusual either but it's a bit early for it to happen so congrats to these two!

And last but not least Dennis Ortiz fished on nuevo with his party of 7 for a full day and also tried going out for tuna with a success. They landed a total of 5 yellowfin and decided to g et their fish cooked for the night.

Thanks to all and congrats on your catch.

We ended a good fishing month with success.

Another month goes by which means less time for me here at RedRum. Just one more month left and You'll be reading someone else's blogs/fish reports.

We ended June with good fishing. Lot of things happened this week, lot of people to interview, lots of candidates, but right now, we've narrowed it down to 3...I guess the decision will be made on Sunday.

Seas are still at 5 ft and winds remaining at 10-20 mph. The days are hot! I think this will be a very HOT summer, probably even more than last year.

On Nuevo we had Gerry Zachery and Wanny Huang fishing for a full day trip. They were out for a while before they landed their first Dorado. They ended their trip with a total of 2. They took some to get it cooked up for the night and the rest gave it to RedRum for donation. Thanks you guys!

Daniel Sutherland and Craig Pittz fished on RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Jesus. During their 8 hour trip they landed 2 yellowfn tuna, 1 dorado and 1 striped marlin. I heard the marlin was 140 Lbs. These gentlemen were satisfied with their fishing trip. Thanks and congrats on your Marlin

Richard Spragues and his party of 8 fished on Marlin Too with Captin Pancho and mate Jesus. They were out for 8 hours as well and they caught and released 2 Striped Marlin. Not sure the size since they did not come back to the office.

Thanks for reading.
