Everybody was after the Billfish today! No one wanted to stay inshore and chase the Roosters or the few remaining Yellowtail, but no problem. Off towards the 95, and 1150 Banks the boys went with Mackeral and Ballyhoo rigged and ready.
Brad Major and Jennifer Bond were the first boat back with Captain Javier and his mate Jesus, they were the lucky winners today with 2 Marlin caught and released. Avid fishermen in Florida, they were stoked to be able to get on the Billfish as they get their fill of Dorado (chicken dorado) and Tuna back home.
Rick and Nancy Casper fishing aboard RedRum with Captain Omar were also able to coax a nice 150lb class Striped Marlin into eating. They were very excited about their catch as they had thrown bait to several Marlin before getting this one to bite!
Finally, William and Marlea Roberts, along with Ramon and Jesus caught and released another nice size Striped Marlin in the 150lb class. Great to see that with the arrival of the mid-70's water in the area we are also starting to see large amounts of billfish. Couldn't come at a better time as the International Game Fish Association's World Championships are coming up next week and Captain Alex and Mate Manuel will be fishing the tournament aboard El Nuevo RedRum!

Roosters Roosters!
Finally found a few of these pesky little guys! Mind you Roosters around Los Cabos don't really stick to a certain time frame of when they come and go, at least from what I have seen the past 5 years.
That being said Captain Omar and his clients, Dan and Paige Sciantarelli, were the first ones back to Marina after fishing a half-day aboard RedRum. Omar found a huge concentration of bait up on the Pacific side, near the lighthouse and they caught 7 Sierra and 7 Roosterfish. A few of the Roosters were in the 20lb range! Cool to see the Roosters banging around on the inshore again.
Our next group was Spencer Falls and his Stay and Play Package group from Texas. They fished again on El Nuevo RedRum and after 3 Marlin on day 1, they too wanted to try a bit of inshore fishing. They had a nice mixed bag with 4 Sierra, 4 Yellowtail, 1 Skipjack, and 1 Rooster. About mid-day they decided to head offshore for a bit and they were able to also Catch and Release their 4th Marlin of the trip! Great meeting you guys, and hope to see you back down here again next year.
James and Janel Rossetto and friends Phil and Kathy Schneider fished aboard Rum Runnin' with Captain Javier and Mate Jesus. These guys were after Billfish and wanted some action. After spotting and pitching bait to several fish, they were finally able to Catch and Release a really nice 10ft Striped Marlin. Congrats on your first Billfish guys!
Chris Rowe, our good friend from Las Vegas, Nevada, was down celebrating his birthday with a bunch of friends and few of them decided to head out on the 38' Blackfin MarlinToo. Chris is Marlin guy and Captain Pancho was able to put him on 2 nice Stripers, both were caught and released.
