Today was another great day for Dorado in Cabo San Lucas. I was driving back from San Jose this morning and saw a bunch of boats out in front of Cabo del Sol and relayed the info to my Captains and it made all the difference. Marshall fished the Red Beam today with the Matias party and was able to land 3 nice Dorado with several others spitting the hooks during the fight. On Rum Runnin with Javier and Cesar we had Aaron, Ron and Sue Brothen as well as Brent Christiansen. They were also lucky on the Dorado front bringing in two real nice keepers. Finally, on ReelRum with Omar and Americo was Craig and Alice Grosseto. They were the top anglers today with 5 nice Dorado, they threw a few back and kept two nice fish for dinner.
Water was a beautiful blue color and water temps were in the low 70's. Live Caballito and trolled lures were the bait of choice today with our crews.

Monday March 23rd
The seas were calm out on the Sea of Cortez today with some overcast clouds.
First boat back was the half day charter aboard our partner boat Anzuelo II with Captain Rafa. Mark along with wife Jane and daughter Margaux and friend Alex had a great time on the water. They spoke of seeing lots of whales, porpoise, and some marlin passing by. They reeled in a mako shark, about a 6 footer right from the start. They also got into some squid as well, reeling in 3 of those monsters. One of the girls had a nice dorado on line for a while but couldn’t get it on board, but gave it a good fight. So great to meet you guys and look forward to seeing some pictures!
Alan and Katie come from my hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska, they are family of my dear friend Nichol who I grew up with. And actually the first time I came to Cabo was with her family back in 1994! Anywho, they headed out with Omar and Americo aboard ReelRum. They had a bit of a slower day compared to the other RedRum boats on the water but were able to reel in 2 skipjack tunas. Sorry I couldn’t get more fish to bite for you guys.
Also out again on the water today was Joe Assenza, our buddy who joined up to help the local soccer kids program called MundoStar. He booked a Stay & Play package and is staying in the Portofino Condos. He headed out on RumRunnin today with Javier and Mickey. The first did a bit of fishing right near the Arch and got into some sierra, about 4 total. They then headed out to the Sea of Cortez, where they reeled in one dorado, which they’ll be taking to Misiones de Kino for dinner. They also reeled in one stripped marlin while out there, but unfortunately it didn’t make it in the fight. We look forward to seeing you guys back again.
Douglas and Roger headed out on the RedBeam. They are visiting us from Wisconsin and California. These two brother-in-laws had a great day on the water while the sister they married relaxed by the pool. They had a great time with Marcial and along with other boats saw tons of marine life. Anything from jumping sting rays to porpoise to even some marlin at the Sea of Cortez. They ended up with 3 dorado as well as one catch and release marlin. They gave some dorado to the crew and will take the rest to dinner at Misiones de Kino this evening.
El Nuevo headed out with Rick coming in from the NCL Star Cruise Ship. They didn’t depart until about 11:00 and headed out to the Sea of Cortez. Out with Alex, this group from Idaho also saw quite a bit of action on the water. They reeled in 4 dorado in their short half day trip! Very well done guys! Please send us some pictures.
Thanks for checking in with us!

Moving a little slow today...
On the water, and in the office. Last night's festivities were a blast! Brooke and I hosted a Tacky Tourist Party in honor of all the Spring Breakers in town. We figured we needed to give our local friends an outlet to make fools of themselves like the rest of the folks in Cabo right now. With the final "tourists" leaving around 3:30am, Brooke and I are moving a bit slow today.
First boat to return today was El Nuevo RedRum with Andy Strine and his boys. This was Andy's second trip this week with us and it sounds like they had another nice day on the water. The Dorado aren't exactly slamming the lures when they are interested so that is causing a lot of fish to be lost after the strike. The guys on El Neuvo had 6 bites slow trolling live bait and then lures and were able to bring in 2 Dorado. Nice size fish as well.
Next back was Randy and his crew from Joe Assenza's group. Randy dropped back by the office to let us know that they had a very nice day on the water. They encountered some finicky fish and weren't able to land any, but they said the weather was great on the water. A little bumpy with the wind picking up on the way back in, but nice blue 72 degree water on the Cortez where they fished.
Next was Scott Fulton and his boy Trey. Trey was feeling a bit under the weather last night and they weren't sure that he was going to be able to make it. Fortunately, a good night sleep was all he needed. Scott and Trey had a nice day bringing in 2 Bull Dorado's and 2 female Dorado's. The Bull's had some decent size to them as well, Scott said he had a 30lber and 25lber.
Finally, we had the rest of Joe Assenza's group on Rum Runnin. Joe and his crew were able to reel in 4 dorado out on the Sea of Cortez as well as one nice sized cabrilla and some sierra as well. Joe and his crew are staying in the Portofino Condos and have enjoyed themselves thus far. They'll be heading out again tomorrow for more action. And speaking of action, Joe brought us in a nice check today to be donated to the Mundo Star soccer program, which raises money for local Cabo kids to be able to play soccer. If you haven't heard about Mundo Star, there are some great pictures of the kids posted in our Photos section. Ask us how you can help sponsor just one team for as little as $150 per year. They'll even put your logo or name on the jerseys!
We'll see you all tomorrow!

Well, we tried.....
That was the sentiment this afternoon when talking to the clients that got back from the Golden Gate. I talked with Rich and Sandy Pratt, as well as Steve and Karen Ghormley this morning. We talked about the Marlin bite and how it had died down a bit the last few days but they really wanted to give it a shot and we were more than willing to make the trek up the Pacific. I had a similar conversation with Bob and Kathy Cripe and they too understood it could be slow on the Pacific but they wanted a shot at a Marlin.
Alex and Ramon took the Pratt and Ghormley crew, while Americo and his father Juan Carlos (who was filling in for an ill Omar) took the Cripe's. Both crews worked their butts off trying to get their clients Marlin, but the fish just wouldn't take the bait. Americo came back and told us he tried pitching live bait, slow trolling live bait, bottom fishing live bait, and also trolling lures. They said they saw tons of fish, they just weren't hungry. Definitely a bummer when folks come back without fish, but we take pride in knowing that our crews did everything they could.
Craig Bryan and Dan Oneal were back on the water today and they had a good day on the Sea of Cortez. They were constantly getting bite by SkipJack Tuna and landed a couple Dorado as well, one very nice one that went 40 lbs or so.
Finally, we had the Martin party on Rum Runnin. They showed up about 10 hours late, just coming into the office about a half hour ago. They mixed up their dates and thought that they were fishing tomorrow. Stranger things have been known to happen in Cabo, luckily we had Rum Runnin available on Saturday and they will head out then.
Water Temps on the Sea of Cortez were around 72/73 and Temps on the Pacific were around 69/70. Bait was GreenBack Mackeral and Caballito, even some SkipJack belly strips were used.

Clients aboard RedRum boats found another trip out to the Sea of Cortez returned a lot of smiling faces with a consistent dorado bite. The water temperature is still sitting at about 71 degrees. First group back was Todd and father Tom aboard ReelRum. They headed out to the Sea of Cortez in front of the Palmilla. The crews were switched around due to Omar and Americo having the day off, so Ramon captained the boat while Americo’s dad Juan Carlos was first mate. They reeled in 2 dorados about 20-25 lbs and lost 3 in the fight. They also reeled in and released about 10 skip jacks. They saved some of the fish to take home and will be returning to Misiones de Kino as they remember from last year how good their fish tastes when Israel cooks it up there.
Next group back was with Marcial aboard the RedBeam. They headed out to the same fishing grounds as ReelRum. All aboard was Gord, Tom and Greg & Tracey. We were able to pair the 3 groups up using our share board and today was the day that worked out best for them to fish. Between the 4 of them they reeled in 7 dorado! They said they saw a lot of whales still out their breaching as well as schools of dolphins. I was psyched at the amount of fish they reeled in as with share boats its good when everyone gets a chance at the action. Gord is saving some of his catch for dinner. Greg & Tracey are freezing their fish and taking it back home and Tom let them have his share. Well done you guys! We look forward to seeing the pics.
Now, while I stayed in the office working and slaving away at the desk, my husband Ryan and father-in-law John decided to take out El Nuevo and get in on some of the action. John flew down yesterday and surprised us for St. Patty’s Day, so we celebrated with lots of green beer last night at the Amigos de Los Ninos fundraiser. They headed out to the Sea of Cortez alongside the other boats. Here is Ryan’s report of their day:
On El Nuevo today we had a bit of a “fun day.” Our fleet manager George, mechanic Rene, along with Cesar, Americo, and Omar headed out with my dad and I. Dad was reading the fish report a few days ago and saw that Brooke and I were headed to a St. Patrick’s Day party for the Amigos de Los Ninos. Never one to miss a party or a charity function dad decided to make the trip down, without telling us. Yesterday we were working away here in the office and in walks dad. What a wonderful surprise! He announced that he wanted to do some fishing today and all the guys who weren’t heading out on other boats made it known that they wanted to fish with John today. Tacos and Beers were bought and good fun was had. We laughed and joked, and even did a bit of fishing. As you will read, the other RedRum boats did better than us, as we only brought in 2 Dorado and 1 Tuna. Regardless, we had blast! Thanks for surprising us Pops, it was great to see and fish with you!
Also heading out on the water was our partner boat Anzuelo II with Captain Rafa. My new found friends Paul and Nate from Iowa headed out with high hopes for catching dinner. They too hit up the Sea of Cortez in the calm seas. They were happy with 2 dorado that they will be taking home with them for a big fish fry with friends! It was wonderful to meet some other Midwest folks, I look forward to seeing your pictures and putting you up on the web.
Finally, heading out on Rum Runnin was Brian and Shawn Hoyer, Brian Trask and Jim Laffoon. The guys wanted to head out a little later than the normal 6:30am start because of a wedding event last night. Unfortunately, the late start did them wrong. They headed up to Golden Gate as the boats that went up there early had some luck. Sounds like by the time they got there they missed the majority of the bite. They were able to catch and release one striped Marlin, always nice to pull on something.
See you tomorrow! Brooke
