Marlin Marlin and Mako

The boys headed up to Golden Gate yesterday and the bite was just not that strong. All the boats came back with Marlin. ReelRum had 2 Marlin, El Nuevo had a Marlin and a nice Mako, and the rest of the boys had only one Marlin. Slow day by our standards, but a good day nonetheless.

Early reports for today are good.

Yesterday's report.

While it had been almost two months without any real good Dorado catches, Omar and Jesus caught 4 yesterday for the Nibbe party. They also caught and released a Marlin. The Bauman's wanted to head and "catch fish" so the boys on Rum Runnin suggested some inshore fishing as they only had a half day. Sierra, Bonita and some nice Yellowtail were grabbed. Cesar and Tantrum found the Tuna again taking 4 nice Yellowfin and releasing 2 Marlin. Alex and El Nuevo continued their hot streak catching 4 Marlin.

Inshore Bite and Tuna

Inshore bite is back!! Tantrum headed out with Mr. Emerson of Cabo 4 Sale for a half day of inshore fishing and they wacked them pretty good. 4 Yellowtail, 3 Sierra and some Bonita were quickly caught. Enjoy dinner pal. Rum Runnin had a half day as well, but the Bauman party wanted some big offshore stuff and the bite is happening a little later out at the banks. Alex took the Stockburger crew out for another day aboard El Nuevo. Today was the same as yesterday, 3 Marlin for the guys. Omar took the Bachman's out on ReelRum and they wanted something for the dinner table. They were lucky enough to find 4 nice size Yellowfin. A very good day for Redrum anglers.

Swordfish??

Rene and Slim took out Kent Somner and his children aboard Utopia today and almost made the catch of the year. Kent had Utopia out for a Sunset Cruise last night and he mentioned that today he wanted to fish for something he could put on the dinner table. Since we haven't seen a Dorado in sometime, Tuna was what we were after. The boys headed out and hooked up on 4 nice yellowfin before they decided to stop biting. Later in the day, the boys spotted a Swordy on the surface. They tossed a live bait and actually hooked up to a swordfish!! You will have to excuse our enthusiasm but it is highly irregular to even hear or see a swordfish. The 200lb leader however was no match and the beast was off the line in a matter of minutes. Good stuff though.

Marlin are biting today

Alex and El Nuevo are back early with 2 striped Marlin, catch and release.

Cesar also has caught and released 2, so far.

Atlantic City Boat and Tackle Show

If you are around Atlantic City this week or weekend, stop by the RedRum Sportfishing booth and say hello.

John and Luis are busy at work, so they say. I think the booth is unattended and they are playing Craps in the casino!!

Sorry Sorry

Sorry folks, I know it has been a while. Luis is off in Atlantic City at a tradeshow with John Donovan and I didn't have the first clue how to post here.

Fishing was slow the last week in January, full moon wreaked havoc. There were a few Marlin coming in, but for the most part slow.

Late last week though things started to pick up as we saw more and more Marlin coming in every day. Haven't seen a Dorado in a while, but still seeing an occasional Wahoo. Tuna have been found every few days by boats heading straight out of the marina. A partner boat yesterday caught 8, after finding a school about 22 miles straight off Cabo. Sierra have showed up as well. Another partner boat went out and caught a ton of Sierra yesterday. A good inshore bite is always fun.

Yesterday, Javier led the charge with 4 Marlin.
