The sun is out in Cabo and it is HOT! The temperatures have risen the last few days and is sitting at about 95 degree high.
Shane and Misty from Kerville Texas headed out on ReelRum this morning with Omar and Americo. Their goal was marlin and they got just that. At Golden Gate they had 3 catch and release marlin. Thanks Shelton's for sending us some good friends of yours!
Next out was Ken and his 2 buddies Tom and Mr. Jenner. They hopped aboard RumRunnin with Javier and Manuel and had a great day at Golden Gate, they reeled in 2 catch and release stripers and 2 mako sharks. We hope to see you guys back here next year, and we'll see you at the Boat Show in San Mateo as well!
And last but not least is the troop from Louisana staying in the Portofino Condos in the stay and play package. The 6 of them are enjoying themselves as their first time in condo and having a grand ole time on day 1 of fishing with Alex. All aboard was Rene, John, Keith, Keith, Daniel and Carl. They also headed out to Golden Gate and reeled in 6 catch and release marlin and 2 mako sharks. Very well done gentlemen! We'll see you on Friday again!
Now I'm off on a booze cruise...stay warm up there!

Bucket List #1, Done
More Marlin tales from the Pacific today, but stay tuned as we have a boat that wants to venture up to the Sea of Cortez tomorrow looking for Tuna.
Today the Brothen party on Rum Runnin didn't show up. Too much Tequila last night?
Michael Heaton and Kathy Taft came in to the office yesterday afternoon and booked for today, hoping to cash (or Catch) in on the recent success of the boats heading to Golden Gate. That they did, catching and releasing 3 Marlin.
Tommy Wells and his crew also had a phenominal day catching and releasing 5 Marlin, all before 11am. They missed a few more and missed on a Dorado hit, but overall they were very happy and had a great day.
Steve Preece and his wife are down from Ontario, Canada and Steve was hoping to knock an item off his bucket list. That of course, would be to catch a Marlin. After two attempts in Florida, he came to the Marlin capital of the world and caught three today. They missed a few Makos and few more Marlin, but they had the "trip of a lifetime." See you next year guys.

"Thousands of Marlin out there, y'all are spoiled!"
Really great day on the water today with lots and lots of Marlin still boiling at the Golden Gate. Water temps are perfect at 72 degrees right now and the sea life has been busy.
Devin and David from New Jersey came down to Cabo and figured they had to go fishing. Neither of them had done any offshore fishing before and they had a day most anglers would dream of. Most offshore afficionados would be tickled if they caught 5 Marlin their first day on the water. Congrats to Devin and David, hopefully we have made lifelong anglers of you guys!
On Rum Runnin we had some Louisiana CCA folks down for the Play and Stay Package. Leo Pollazo brought down a couple of his buddies and they were looking forward to a day on the water filled with bent rods and big fish. Leo's buddies were a bit worried before they got on the water about sea sickness, well as luck would have it Leo was the one who felt under the weather. Unfortunately for these guys the Marlin bit late in the day and they ended up getting skunked.
Alex and Ramon fished together on El Nuevo today, as Cesar had the day off, and they were host to Ed Brack. Ed and I talked a bunch before he got down here and it was very nice to finally meet him. Ed was all business today, he got his Marlin and got back to the Marina around noon.
John and Lori, also from Louisiana, fished with us today and had a great day on the water. John and Lori are super great people and happened to be in Cabo on business and wanted to get out on the water for the day. They actually purchased a Play and Stay before they came, but have yet to schedule a time to use it. I guess this was a scouting trip. We'll have a lot to live up to when they come back as John and Lori had a great day, John came back into the office and commented, "we saw thousands of Marlin, y'all are spoiled down here." We sure are John! They caught several Marlin, lost several more and even caught a few big Mako Sharks. Look forward to seeing you down here soon guys!
All the boats are heading out again tomorrow, should be another great day on the water.
Until then,
Ryan

Feb. 21st
Lots of people in Cabo, which is a good think to see despite all that is going on in the world. Lots of people throwing their worries away and enjoying the warm inviting weather.
First to arrive bright, well not so bright yet, but early in the morning was the Salazar family. Caleb came with his 3 kids in tow, little Kaley and Will and mature Kaleb. All aboard with Omar and Ramon (Americo is out fishing the finger banks). They headed out and came back early after they had reeled in 8 dorado! Little Kaley had the line of the day “I just couldn’t do it by myself, they were too big!”. They’ve got plenty of dorado to take back to Denver with them, which is where John and I met them at the Sportsmen’s Expo Show. Good to see you guys again and we can’t wait to see the pictures.
Todd booked a group of guys down for Kai’s bachelor party. Some more hungover than others, I won’t mention names Garrett, but they arrived with 7 guys to board RumRunnin. Oopsie, reservation is for 6! As I had to explain, the Mexican laws are very strict on how many passengers can be on board of a certain sized boat. The Port Captain and Mexican Marines can get a company into a lot of trouble if they rule is broken. I said I’d love to let the 7 on board, but they understood the maximum was 6 guys for RumRunnin. Todd, was nice enough to stay back and let the other guys that hadn’t been to Cabo before hop on board while he went back to the hotel to catch up on sleep. They had a fun day on the water as their laughing and yelling was heard over the radio here in the office. Three catch and release marlin were reeled in by the rambunctious group.
The lastest report from the crew out at the fingerbanks is this… Utopia had caught 8 dorado yesterday afternoon, and by this morning had turned back around from finger as the bite wasn’t as strong. They were outside of Pescadero this afternoon and had caught 4 skip jacks, 2 catch and release marlin and 1 mako shark.
On Blue Thunder, the guys caught 8 dorado yesterday and decided to head to Sea of Cortez today. We’ll have the report on their catch later.
And Spartacus the last boat of the trio, have been busy busy, reeling in 40 dorado yesterday and 1 catch and release marlin at finger banks. Today they are at 2 catch and release marlin so far. They probably won’t get back until 5 or 6 this evening, so I’ll have to get you the full report tomorrow.
And for those of you that are freezing at home, scrapping your car and shoveling your walk, take a look at our Stay & Play Packages. They are a comfortable and affordable way to come to Cabo. So grab your friends and make a weekend out of it!
Have a great rest of the weekend!

Along the shore at Golden Gate...
Another beautiful day in Cabo, with a light breeze just enough to keep you cool in the 85 degree temp. Russel and Adri from Austin stopped in yesterday inquiring about going fishing and, thanks to Rafa and his good looking boat Anzuelo II, we got them on board this morning. Russel said he had seen us on ESPN, which has been awhile ago, so good memory! What a rare day for them it was up in Golden Gate, they had 10 giant squids and 3 mako sharks. They didn’t get the marlin they wanted, but boy did they have a busy day on the water.
Kendell, Manuel, Eldon and Joseph the fabulous four some headed out with Alex on El Nuevo. They had a great day on the water reeling in 8 dorado, plenty from them to take to Misiones de Kino this evening.
We were able to hook up 2 eager fishermen looking to share a boat today. They hopped aboard ReelRum. Russ, who has fished with RedRum many times before with the TripAdvisor Tournament joined up with Chris a.k.a. Thumper, from Alaska who arrived into Cabo last night. Omar and Ramon took them to the Pacific side up near golden gate but along the shore line, they reeled in 4 dorado. Heading out to dinner as newly found friends they are taking their catch to Soloman’s Landing, who cooks up a wicked caper/basil/soy sashimi. Yummmm!
Next were the guys John and I had met in the Denver show, Derek, Cody and Kurt. They headed out on the RedBeam this morning, and not too far after they headed out Marcial realized they needed to turn around due to some engine issues. They were good sports about it and we put them aboard another boat. As many of you boat owners know, no matter how well you keep your boat maintained, every once in a while something like this can happen. We thank you guys for being cool about the situation. And they came out on top with quite a day, one catch and release marlin, 1 mako shark, 5 dorado and 1 yellow fin tuna. Nice job guys and thanks for understanding that boats are boats.
RedRum then hosted the newly married Mr. and Mrs. Trigg down in Caboo on their honeymoon. They were aboard RumRunnin with Javier and Manuel. The newlyweds hit it big with 2 catch and release marlin and 2 dorado! They bought some shirts for proof!
And last but not least is the crew headed to the finger banks this morning. Three, 54’ Hatteras’ headed out, Utopia, Spartacus, and Blue Thunder. All aboard was the Culler group including Ricky, William, Charles, Eric, Thomas Jr., Thomas Sr., Benjamin, Keith and Brian. They booked a Stay & Play package through RedRum at the Portofino condos, and as part of their stay they wanted to stay over night at the finger banks and get 2 full days of fishing in there. Ryan headed out as a second mate on Utopia along with Americo as first mate and Rene as Captain. They departed at about 7:30 this morning to get to the grounds. We’ll have a full report of how they did today and tomorrow when they get back. Communication at this point is non-existent, I’m guessing they’ll get back around 7:00 tomorrow evening.
I guess with my husband out of town, I’m going to tie one on tonight! Oh wait, I have to get up at 5:30 tomorrow morning, I guess dinner and wine with friends will work.
We’ll keep you posted!

Dorado and more dorado!
Beautiful sunny weather and lots and lots of dorado!
A fun bunch down for Eric’s post wedding bachelor party headed out on ReelRum, RumRunnin and El Nuevo while leaving Lisa at home. All the while this lovely new wife was busy booking the reservations for this group. All from California, they had a lot of fun. ReelRum reeled in 7 dorado, El Nuevo reeled in 1 catch and release marlin and RumRunnin came home with the cake for 8 dorado and 1 catch and release marlin.
Scott and the crew from Toyota had a phenomenal day on the water. They were looking for something new so they headed out with RedRum for the first time. The fishing took place at Los Arcos, in front of the Pedregal on the Pacific side. They were content with Marcial and the crew on RedBeam and happy about the 4 dorado they pulled aboard. Scott mentioned there was a rookie on the rod when a marlin was fighting his way, they lost it in the end. Nice job you guys, we hope to see you back here soon!
Anzuelo II, one of our partner boats headed out again today with some RedRum clients. Dennis and his crew came back and said, “Rafa is fantastic, thank you so much for sending us out with him.” Rafa has had a lot of RedRum clients on his boat this week and as always shows quality in his charters, which is why we trust him to put our clients on his boat. They reeled in one catch and release marlin, 3 dorado and some bonitos a.k.a skip jacks.
Warren, Mary-Jo, Brad, Cindy, Jim and Alane headed out for a half day trip aboard another partner boat, Pescado III. They didn’t have as much luck for the dorado, but were able to get into some inshore fish, sierra a.k.a king mackerel and Spanish mackerel. They had a good ole time though!
Until tomorrow… Brooke

Lots of marlin, but they aren't as hungry...more dorado!
Apologies for a few days late fish report, it’s been a busy last few days, and well the power went out yesterday mid morning, so I’m a bit behind.
We’ve had a lot of boats going out on Tuesday and Wednesday and the fishing has changed a bit. No longer is Golden Gate the hot spot for marlin, the bite has actually been non-existent there, they are still out there, but they just aren't hungry, which our anglers quickly learned on Tuesday the 17th.
Mark and Jeff from Idaho headed out first on the 17th aboard a Panga and then on the 18th aboard one of our partner boats Sol Mar 7. Aboard the Panga they reeled in 1 dorado and 2 amberjack. They enjoyed the different type of fishing the inshore bite is. With their newly caught dorado, they headed over to the Early Bird, the place where you all buy coffee in the morning, and they had some nice fresh dorado ceviche for lunch. On day two, they saw a lot of dolphin while out near the lighthouse but didn’t run into anything, not even tuna. As Mark, a.k.a Clark W. Griswald, nicknamed by his son said, “it’s fishing not catching”. These two were headed back to the cold of Idaho on the 19th but look back to heading back to Cabo for that marlin they dreamed of. We wish we could have made them bit for you guys.
Another two day fishing crew was John from Florida and Ken from Illinois, two perfect gentleman that headed out with Omar on ReelRum for 2 half days. They had 2 phenomenal days on the water. Heading out to the lighthouse on the 17th they reeled in 5 dorado and on the 18th they were very near the arch reeling in 4 dorado. They’ve got two ice chests sitting at our office waiting to be picked up with nicely fresh frozen fish to take back to the states with them. It was a pleasure meeting you two, we look forward to the pictures.
The dynamic trio of Jerry, Billy and Brad headed out for 3 days on the water. The 17th and 18th being their two final days at sea. On the 17th heading out on RumRunnin again, they were able to get 1 dorado aboard. With the fishing slowing down at Golden Gate, we haven’t seen as many marlin. Which in my opinion I prefer, who doesn’t like fresh dorado cooked up the day you catch it? Anywho, day three for the trio was aboard the RedBeam with Marshall, and a bit slow compared to Monday they were able to reel in another dorado. They were all happy campers as they each got a fish reeled in at the tip of the Baja. Great to meet you three, we look forward to your return!
A big group from Onatario headed down to Cabo, all six, Brad, Kyle, April, Barb, Michelle and Kevin had a good time on El Nuevo with Alex on the 17th. However, the fishing god weren’t in their favor. The biggest change we’ve seen this year with migration of fish you could say was Feb. 17th, it was the day the fish stopped biting at Golden Gate. They saw tons of marlin jumping but couldn’t get one on board. A good day on the water with family beats a good day working any day.
RedBeam headed out with Chris, Jana, Mike and Kristine a fun group that was rearing to go fishing bright and early. While out of the cold of Colorado they were ready to have a good time! While having a lot of fun on the boat, they reeled in 1 catch and release marlin as well as one dorado.
The big group aboard Utopia was down for a wedding and was ready to have a blast on board on the 17th. With 12 people, its hard not to, pretty much a party at that point. They came from all over the U.S. to meet up in Cabo. All aboard were, Dusty, Blake, Ronald, Krystal, Dale, Shannon, Laird, Sandy, Bill, Donna, Brayton and Krysta. Although the marlin were swirling around them, they had no luck getting one on board. However, being aboard a 54’ Hatteras is hardly anything to complain about. It sounds like they had a good time, reeling one in or not.
Barbara and Bob from Sacramento headed out on the 17th with another of our partner boats, Anzuelo II with Captain Rafa. They had a great time on the water reeling in 2 dorado.
Out on the 17th was Chuck hailing from the cold of South Dakota conquered the waters of Baja solo aboard another partner boat Sol Mar I. He had a great time with Freddy and reeled in 5 dorado. Nice job Chuck!
A fun group of four, Edward, Sue, Deborah and Ray headed out on RumRunnin with Javier aka Chivo. Getting out of the Seattle and Michigan cold they were glad to be in the sunny skies of Cabo, you could tell by their tans! Edward was the lucky one, reeling in the estimated 190 lb. striped marlin. He was so proud of his catch he’s bringing home a trophy to put on his wall!
The Volkmann group was out on day 2, on El Nuevo. Compared with the fishing they had on Monday, the seas had drastically changed in 24 short hours. They came back in a bit early but were able to reel in a dorado and a hammerhead shark! Great to meet all of you guys, we look forward to seeing you back down again, and thanks for telling everyone you know about RedRum!
Las but not least was William, Douglas and Lee aboard our partner boat Anzuelo II. Now these guys I think are my favorites, partly because they are great guys and partly because they are from Nebraska! Hailing from around Kearney they left their ladies at the Riu Hotel and headed out fishing. They reeled in 2 dorado and had one striper on the line for a ling while but lost it in the end. Apparently there was a rookie angler at the other end of the rod. Ha! Great to meet you guys and Go Huskers!
That’s all for now…

Apparently there was a rookie angler at the other end of the rod. Ha! Great to meet you guys and Go Huskers!
That’s all for now…
