Friday the 13th, what will it bring?

Friday the 13th...

Carl Moberg, down in Cabo for his daughters wedding, decided to add a little more fun to the weekend and took a few guys from the wedding party fishing. Carl fishes commercially in Massachusetts for Striped Bass and we had a nice chat about fishing in his neck of the woods as I occasionally get back that way for Striper and Bluefin fishing. The one thing they don't catch a lot of is Marlin back in his neck of the woods so it was nice that they were able to Catch and Release a nice Striped Marlin.

George Kahle and his two sons, Aaron and Bryan had a nice day on the water with Jesus and Jesus on Rum Runnin'. Father and sons fishing and father and son Captain and Mate! Pretty cool. They caught 2 nice Yellowfin and also hooked a big 108" Striped Marlin that they got to the boat. George came back to the office and told me how impressed he was with the Jesus' and how they were able to get the fish hooked up! Always great to hear about the hard working crews we have!

The Miller party, in from Louisiana on a Stay and Play Package had their second day on the water today and after catching 18 Yellowfin and a Dorado on day one, they had Billfish on their minds. The boys on El Nuevo RedRum did not disappoint as they were able to catch and release 2 nice Striped Marlin! They had a great time at the condos and enjoyed their trip, especially the chef we sent up to the condos to prepare their Yellowfin and Dorado!

Finally, Bob Babei, who joined us from a cruise ship fished today with Cabo Chica. They only had a half -day to fish, but they slayed them out at the 1150! Bob was alone and caught 3 Striped Marlin, 2 Yellowfin Tuna and 1 Dorado! Not a bad day on the water, especially a 5 hour half day!

Thursday, May 12th Where did the Tuna go?

Wondering where all the Yellowfin from yesterday ran off to? After catching more than 30 Yellowfin yesterday, fish were hard to come by for some reason today.

The Souza family, fishing on Rum Runnin was the first boat back and after seeing a few Marlin that wouldn't bite, their time was up and the half day didn't give them enough time to get hooked up.

Daniel and Dawn Brennan joined us today from the cruise ship and they were able to hook into a random Yellowfin that wasn't swimming with any school mates. They finished up their half day with just the 1 Yellowfin.

Joe Thilbourg and Vanessa Cortez fished RedRum with Omar and Americo and also found a random Yellowfin. While we had a few Yellowfin today, none of the Captains found the big school that brought double and triple hook-ups.

Finally, Don Black and his party, fishing on Marlin Too with Captain Pancho, caught 1 Dorado and 2 Yellowfin Tuna.

Hopefully we can find the big school again tomorrow.
