Yesterday Alex walked away the Captain of the Day. Today the award goes to Javier on Rum Runnin. El Nuevo and Reel Rum also headed out today but could not get into the same groove as Rum Runnin.
Terry Peckham and his children (3) headed out with Javier and Ramon today. They started their day off hooking into, and releasing a Stripe Marlin. Terry told me when he got back "that fish put on a great show for us, jumping out of the water over 15 time, it must have been a young one"!! Later during the trip Ramon hooked into another Stripe Marlin for a catch and release. The catch of the day happend as the last figh was hooked. "We knew it was something big when we didn't see it come up for a while", Terry said. Javier later told me in my office "the fish never really jumped but we knew it was hooked good". Finally, after an hour and a half of fighting the fish the Blue Marlin was spotted near the boat. A few minutes later Ramon had a hold of it. The fish measured 114" and weighed 275 pounds! Mr. Peckham's got some pretty impressive kids, all excellent anglers! Great job guys!

August 4th Fish Report
El Nuevo Redrum had luck on her side today as many boats around the marina came back empty handed. Alex ran 30 miles to get to his "honey hole" where he was able to catch and release 2 Stripe Marlin. One of the Marlin put in a good fight lasting almost an hour. They also caught 2 Dorado. One of the Dorado, over 60 pounds got off right before Slim could gaff it. It had been false hooked near the eye and never hooked correctly.
Red Beam had a Sailfish strike but couldn't keep the fish on. Javier and Rum Runnin had 3 Sailfish get off as well. The boat was also able to raise 2 Stripe Marlin but Americo couldn't get them take the bait.
Utopia, El Nuevo, Rum Runnin and Reel Rum are on deck to head out tomorrow with hopefully a little more luck than today. They may have to buy Alex dinner to find out where he fished today!
A very Happy Birthday to Redrum angler from South Texas, Tommy Vela. We'll make sure to have a tequila for you at RIPs tonight!!

August 3rd Fish Report
A rain and lightning storm rolled into Cabo late yesterday afternoon that lasted into the late evening. I had doubts that the boats would even be able to head out this morning. It's a good thing they did because the fish were biting!
Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) member Thomas Lacy from Fort Worth, TX brought some of his buddies down to fish with Redrum for a couple of days. Their first day was with Slim and Alex on El Nuevo. They landed a nice Stripe Marlin to start the day and raised a couple of Sailfish later in the afternoon.
Javier came back from a shutout day yesterday to catching and releasing 2 Pacific Sails and catching a nice Dorado for dinner. Mr. Saxton and his group had an excellent time on Rum Runnin.
Ramon took out Tantrum today with Terry Peckham and his buddy. They had a good time catching and releasing a Stripe Marlin.
It seems like the storm is far gone now as it's all clear and sunny skies again in Cabo. It's been a real pleasure having the Sailfish around as long as they have been. We have seen some with good size too and more than we have in years. That's a good sign of our anglers practicing their catch and release. We applaud you guys for that!
Comments are now welcome on the Fish Report so feel free to send a short write up about your experience, ask a question, or just drop a quick hello!
Cheers,
Luis!

August 2nd Fish Report
Juan aka Slim and Ramon led the Redrum fleet today on Redrum. As Alex took his day off, Ramon took over at the wheel. Slim was able to hook the Stringer party into 3 Sailfish as well as a Stripe Marlin all for the release. The group also caught a nice Dorado!
Rum Runnin couldn't get any luck on her side today. 2 Sailfish were spotted and approached but they couldn't get anything to bite. The Medina party from McAllen will have another go at it tomorrow on Red Beam.
Reel Rum trolled all day without much luck. They caught a Dorado early in the morning but that was all of the action they saw until Cesar, on his way down to get ready to head in spotted a Marlin. After casting 3 casts at it to no strike, he reeled in the rig and changed his bait out to a larger one. SURE ENOUGH!!! 30 minutes later, Mr. Conlin had his Stripe Marlin to the boat! 108" and 172 pounds of solid fish!!
Great job to all Redrum anglers!!
Let's hope it doesn't rain as some clouds seem to be moving in!!

August 1st Fish Report
Marc Brundige and the Linear Architecture Group from all over the nation had a great day fishing with the Redrum fleet.
Alex and Juan led the pack helping out 1/4 of the LAG with 3 Catch and Release Sailfish and a nice Bull Dorado as well. Omar lead another 1/4 of the group to a catch and release a Stripe Marlin on Reel Rum. The fish fought so hard at one point Omar thought it might have been a small Blue Marlin! Cesar headed out and spotted several Sails on top of the water but for some reason he could not get them to bite. He was fortunate enough to catch a large Bull Dorado with his group. Rum Runnin also landed a nice Sailfish.
Mr. and Mrs. Noone from McAllen, TX came in and fished a half-day with Mickey and Tili on Red Beam. I had told them they had a better chance of catching Billfish if they went out on a full day. They were confident that they would do alright, and they did just fine. Before their 5 hour trip was up they had caught and released 2 very nice Sailfish. Great job guys!! Good seeing you again.
As you can see we are catching and releasing multiple Sailfish in the area. With the water as warm as it is, the Sailfish come in and feed. It is a short Sailfish season but we are always very excited when we get them down here. They are such a beautiful fish to watch.
Tight Lines!!

End of July Report
The second half of July was a solid one for Redrum and their anglers. We were fortunate enough to see some warm water come in close as it gave the crews a chance to make a little bit longer of a run but still able to get to the fish.
Marlin and Dorado were pretty consistant on the Sea or Cortez side, one day Cesar ran almost to Los Barriles to find fish. When you're that determined you're bound to do alright. August looks like a lot busier months for Redrum and their boats, we are excited about the "busy" season as all the boats are in tip-top shape and ready for the big fish!!

Fishing is in the Blood!
Redrum owners and father-son duo John and Ryan Donovan aren't the only ones with fishing in their blood! John's brother Jim recently caught an 85 pound Blue Fin Tuna fishing out of Cape Cod, MA. and had to send us pictures!
Great job Jim!
