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.
