Hey guys,

This just in. RumRunnin has a blue Marlin which they think is more than 400 Lbs.
This boat is participating in the Los Cabos Billfish Tournament. Joe Assenza has been fishing throughout the whole tournament and today just might be his lucky day.

Jason Pruden seems to be the angler who reeled in the Marlin, it took him 135 min. They are heading back to the weighing station to see just how much it weighed. Let's wish them good luck guys!!!!

Go Joe & Crew!

Great Day!

Great day today guys,

Our final numbers for today's fishing was 10 striped Marlin, 1 Sailfish, 35 Dorado, and 1 tuna.

So today we start off with the Los Cabos Billfish tournament were Joe Assenza and his crew participated aboard our 32' RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Jesus. They caught a 50 Lbs Yellowfin and a 30 Lbs Dorado. They will be fishing for the next couple of days and hopefully things will be even better than today.

Miguel Locatelli fished along with his buddy Carlton Hughes from Alaska and fished on our 28' ReelRum with Captain Jesus and Mate Francisco. They had purchased a full day trip but decided to come back in a bit earlier than expected. Their final number was 16 Dorado in total but only kept their limit.


Chris Needle fished for his 3rd and last day aboard the 31' RedRum and after 3 days of fishing he finally caught and released a Striped Marlin around 150 Lbs! Congratulations Chris. He also caught 4 Dorado around 30 Lbs

My Friends Richard Krueckel, Terry and Matt Teeple from Sacramento fished on El Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Omar. These guys had an awesome time out there and Matt caught his first Striped Marlin which was 7 ft 100 Lbs! Congratulations Matt. They also reeled in 8 Dorado.

Kenny Ketchum and Bob fished on Cabo Chica today and caught and released 3 Striped Marlin and 4 Dorado. Dorados were between 20 - 25 Lbs. He will be fishing again on Friday. Let's see how he does then.

Jay O'Connor and his crew fished for a second day on Fish Tails and caught and releaed a 150 Lbs Striped Marlin and 4 Dorado. These guys from California had a blast and made us laugh with their comments. Thanks guys!

Dale Haines went out for a second trip this week aboard the 28' Anzuelo. Captain Salvador has been taking good care of him. Yesterday he caught 11 Dorado by the Golden Gate bank and today he caught and released 2 Striped Marlin. He will continue fishing for the rest of the week, this awesome guy will probably catch many more fish throughout his RedRum trip!

Another Happy Customer Klint Friedenauer has been fishing for a few days now on Edith 1. Yesterday he caught 1 Sailfishg and a Dorado and today he caught a 125 Lbs Striped Marlin, 1 Sailfish and 3 Dorado. He will continue fishing tomorrow, making that his 4th and final day with the same crew. We know he's enjoying it!

Last but not least James Thedford and Albert Davis fished on Tantrum today with Captain Ramon and Mate Juan. These guys from Dallas had a blast this day and caught a Striped Marlin between 85-90 Lbs aside from the 13 Dorado they also managed to reel in.

Monday, Monday....

Today we had another beautiful day on the water here in Cabo. Calm seas, and mid 80's water made for another great fishing day. A buzz is certainly in the air as this week marks the beginning of Tournament Season in Cabo San Lucas. We get started with the Los Cabos Billfish Tournament on Wednesday and Captains and Mates are getting excited.

Brian Impey and his crew from San Jose, California fished with Jesus and Edgar on ReelRum and they had a great day on the water. They finished with day with their daily limit, of 2 Dorado's per person for a total of 8.

Don Jackson and his son Brad, down from good ole Fort Worth, Texas (Go Horned Frogs) joined Ramon and Juan on TantRum today and they had a fish of a lifetime, almost two actually. The day started off with 3 Dorado and then a catch and release Striped Marlin. Ramon then spotted a school of Porpoise and Juan got the Tuna jigs out and into the spread. When Ramon got in front of the school, Juan pitched a Ballyhoo back which immeadiately got inhaled by a 200+ lb Yellowfin. He passed the rod off, and quickly rigged another. By the time he pitched the second Ballyhoo, the first Tuna had come off, but he quickly hooked another, this time a 180 lb Yellowfin. Finally, he hooked about a 60lb Yellowfin and both fish were landed. What an awesome experience.

The Kruse crew headed out for their second day on the water aboard both RedBeam and El Nuevo RedRum. They were focused on Billfish today, and they got what they were after. RedBeam had 2 Striped Marlin and 1 Sailfish, and El Nuevo finished with 2 Striped Marlin.

Day 2 of fishing for Evan Miller and his crew was another awesome day. Javier and Jesus got the guys into the Dorado and they finished with 9 for the day.

I could go on and on, but basically, the Dorado bite is non-stop. Some huge Tuna are around, and the Billfish bite has been great.

We are busy getting ready for the Tournaments, so we apologize for the short fish reports but I think you all get the general idea that Cabo is red hot right now and we are super busy.

Thanks,
Ryan

Catching up... What a crazy busy month!

As most of you know, October is our busiest time of year with all the tournaments and the incredible fishing. We tend to get behind on the Fish Report and for that we apologize. Quick synopsis, fishing is great.

The guys have been fishing both sides, the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific with great success. Bait has still been a little tough to come by, but with the Ballyhoo we had sent over from Mainland Mexico via airfreight, we have been hooking up non-stop.

Sunday we had 6 boats out, and everyone had great success.

As many of you know, Cabo Wabo, annually celebrates owner Sammy Hagars birthday with 5 or 6 shows in the month of October, by none other than Sammy himself. A few members of the band took a day off to head out on the water with Pescado III, and they came back with 6 Dorado and a nice Wahoo.

TantRum fished with Richard Marsh, Al Moler, Joey and Ashley Lassiter for the day and they too had a great day. They finished the day with 7 Dorado and 1 Dorado.

Mike Murphy has been coming to Cabo for years and years and he couldn't catch the elusive Marlin he had been looking for. A Marlin was a "bucket list" item for Mike and finally after 5 attempts, RedRum got him on the fish! Mike caught and released a Striped Marlin and also caught 4 Mahi Mahi.

El Nuevo fished with Marc Lamberti, Michael O'Donnell and Jason Keller today. This was the Massachusetts connection, with all the guys hailing from the Boston area. Never hurts to wear a Red Sox hat into the office the morning of your charter and it certainly didn't hurt these guys. To be perfectly honest, we spent so much time "bs"ing that I forgot to get an exact count on the fish, but I know they had Wahoo, Tuna and Dorado and they had a blast out there.

Tracy and Joel Wegenast, along with their boys Casey and Gary, joined Javier again for another great day on the water. They finished with 7 Dorado and 1 Marlin.

Paul and Patrick Ferrigno along with his girlfriend Belinda Hargright are down again for the 3rd year in a row, enjoying our Stay and Play package. They had 7 Dorado and 1 Marlin on day one of their adventure.
