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.
