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.
