Massive Sierra's all over the place and few big schools of Yellowfin!

James and Andrew Luers, longtime friends of Brooke's from Nebraska shared Nuevo with Jesus 3 and Alonzo today as Captain Alex had the day off. With 6 guys on board they started inshore to hammer some of the big Sierra and then headed offshore looking for a Marlin. Not finding any Stripers that were willing to bite, they headed back inshore. The guys finished the day with almost 30 Sierra, some as big as 4' and 20 lbs.

Ron McCullum was back for another day on ReelRum with Jesus and Edgar and he was in search of Yellowfin. After trolling through 3 different schools of Porpoise and not finding any Yellowfin that were willing to bite, Ron told the boys to head for home.

Danny Smith and his family fished with Omar and Americo today aboard RedRum and they had a great day. After hammering close to 10 Sierra inshore they went a few miles offshore to the Lighthouse Bank and got a Striped Marlin for a photo.

Finally, Bum-Suk Kim, fishing by himself and on the hunt for Tuna fished with our partner boat Cabo Chica and Captain Tata today. They found the same 3 schools of Porpoise as TantRum but took a chance and went looking for one more. That was the right call as Mr. Kim was able to hook into 12 Yellowfin, and a Dorado. They even found a few Marlin, but none were hungry. They fished about 20 miles straight out from the Cabo Marina.

Post Christmas fishing... Presents in store?

Stephen Lane and his crew are down for a week and getting two or three charters in with us. Stephan and his wife took out RedRum with Omar and Americo while the rest of the crew fished with TantRum and Captain Ramon. Ramon was able to find a hungry Marlin, but Stephen and Omar pitched bait to 9 different Marlin who had no interest in taking the bait. Stephen was stoked on how hard the boys worked throughout the day and that is always the best compliment we can receive.

Jan Lundberg and his buddies had their first of two days on the water with us aboard, ReelRum. Captain Jesus was back for his first charter in nearly a month after a nasty accident and he knocked the skunk off the boat quickly with two nice catch and release Marlin.

Marc Burtnicker fished by himself today and had a great day with Captain Salvador. After catching a half dozen Bonita inshore, they headed offshore and were able to entice a nice Striped Marlin and were able to catch and release it.

On El Nuevo today we had the Ruhman family from Houston and they were after Marlin. No Yellowfin, No Dorado, No inshore species, they wanted Marlin. Captain Alex and his mate Jesus 3 who is filling in for Manuel who is on vacation had plenty of opportunities. 3 different Striped Marlin were hooked, they just couldn't get one to the boat. Snapped leaders, spit hooks, etc. Chris Ruhman did his best, as did the crew, we just couldn't get one of those pesky Marlin to the boat for a photo.

Inshore fishing has been non-stop for Sierra and Roosters, even a few Yellowtail starting to show up. Offshore we have been running 10-20 miles to get to the Yellowfin, Marlin have been everywhere just very finicky.

Catching up after Christmas

Sorry to all the faithful readers that haven't seen a post in a few days. Things are great in Cabo but with Nick visiting his family in Mexico City and Brooke and I's family visiting, the fish report gets a little behind.

I won't go through each charter, so if you were dying to see your name or catch reported here, let us know and we can do so. (Or maybe your friends don't believe you really did as well as you did and need proof!)

Fishing has been interesting to say the least. Mainly Marlin and Yellowfin recently but like I said interesting.

Omar was out on the 23rd and found 40-50 Marlin throughout the day up near the Los Arcos area, but none that wanted to eat, we were throwing Caballito and dragging everything we had but no bites. On the 24th Omar fished with my sister Jen, Step-father Mark, and his sister Bridgette and her husband Suds. They went back to the same spot and found huge bait balls full of tasty Green-Back Mackeral but the Marlin had disappeared. The full-moon and eclipse were playing tricks on the fish.

The boats that had success got out past some of the green water, 15-20 miles and got into the Yellowfin Tuna. We had 3 or 4 different schools that we found, and once we found the fish, catching 10-20 Yellowfin was automatic.

We'll keep you up to date from here on out... With 10 boats going out tomorrow we should have a nice report for you all!

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all of our wonderful friends.

"There's plenty of fish in the sea"

Fishing today took place 15 miles out and Tuna was biting great.
We had a total of 5 boats out.

On Cabo Chica we had Howard Joe and his family fishing for a full day with Captain Lupe and mate Fabian. Howard Jr, reeled in a 102" Striped Marlin. It took him 30 mins to get this done and he did it all by himself. Awesome job Howard. Today he came in the office wearing the RedRum Gear and just advertising out company!! that's the spirit! Hope to see this group again next year.

Timothy Angell and his girls fished on ReelRum with Captain Edgar and Mate Omar. They had a full day of fishing and reeled in a Striped Marlin that was around 120 Lbs. The fish was released.

Austen Metz fished on Juanita II for a half day and his catch consisted of several Sierras. Had a good day out there! maybe next time he will do a full day and go after the big ones!

Matthew Mundy and his group of 6 fished on Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Javier, this group had a great day out in the water coming back with 6 yellowfin tuna and 1 dorado, I'm not sure if they caught and released everything or they kept it and took it to a restaurant as they did not come back to the office and brag about their fishing trip. Anyhow, crew told us they were awesome and had fun out in the water.

Duane Albrecht fished on RedRum with Captain Omar and Mate Americo and had an awesome day out in the water, their final catch was 3 striped marlin ranging between 100-140 Lbs! Not bad at all, especially for this time of year! Nice job.

Gloria Baca and David fished on their second trip and ended up with a 58" Dorado. Gloria has been very lucky with big fish. Hopefully today, their last day, they will gather some bigger fish to accompany their success!

Thanks for reading.

Tunas are closer 11 miles!

Fish biting was closer yesterday December 20th.
Tuna's were located 11 miles out, way closer than a week ago where we had to go out 37 miles to catch them. This was a good day for all of our boats going out. We did a total of 14 Yellowfin and 2 Striped Marlin

The average weight for the Tuna was between 15-25 Lbs and the Marlin were 140-160 Lbs

On ReelRum we had Ken Paulsen sharing a boat with John Baer who fished for a full day with Captain Edgar and Mate Omar. Their day was a bit slow but they enjoyed it. John caught 1 Tuna between 8-10 Lbs and in the end shared some of it with Ken. Awesome team work and a great man.

Mike Ethridge and Debashis fished on RedRum with Captain Omar and Mate Americo. When this duo walked into the office yesterday morning the first thing I saw in their hands were 2 bananas! At first I thought it was a joke, until I told them the Banana Myth and Boats. They were not familiar but ate those suckers in a sec before getting on the boat. In the end they caught a total of 5 Tunas being between 15-25 Lbs. At least they now know not to bring a banana on the boat!!!

Gloria and David are fishing with us for 3 days on Tantrum with Captin Ramon and Mate Juan. Their first day of fishing consisted of a Striped Marlin which was 160 Lbs. Hopefully today they will bring in some edible fish. I know they will be going to the Misiones de Kino restaurant to get some fished cooked up, afterall, Misiones does a great job and the service they provide is TOP NOTCH!


and last but not least, Randy Wagner and his crew wen't out on Cabo Chica for their first day of fishing. This group is enjoying a nice play and stay package which consists of fishing and lodging in one of RedRum's nice lookin condo. They reeled in a Marlin about 140 Lbs and was 99 inches long. They also caught 8 Tuna being between 15-25 Lbs. The Marlin was released. Tomorrow will be their last day of fishing so lets with them sucess!

Tuna's are in

Hi all,

Things have been picking up here in Cabo mostly for Tuna. Of course as each day goes by they seem to be going further and further. Yesterday we had to go out 37 miles to get them but they're out there.

Marling and Dorado have slowed down a bit, there is a lot of Marlin out there but they aren't too hungry right now making it a bit more of a challenge for our anglers to reel them in! at least you'll have one heck of a time out there!!

The average temperature is between 79F to 84F and that's what we're expecting this whole upcoming week. Winds are blowing between 5-10 mph and and seas have been 3 to 4 ft hight. On Thursday we had choppy seas but nothing too bad.

This is what are fishing looked like from December 16th up to today.

Boat: Nuevo and RedRum
Fish Caught Day 1: 1 Dorado
Fish Caught Day 2: 8 tuna and 1 Dorado
Crew: Alex and Manuel / Omar and Americo
Cody fished with us back in June and decided to come for another two days of fishing. Even though his first day was a bit slowed, that didn't disencourage this group to go out a second time. The day they fished with Nuevo was a great day out there, they caught a total of 8 Tuna and 1 Dorado. Taking their catch to Misiones de Kino to get it cooked up in their unique way.


Customer: Barbara Williams
Boat: Tantrum
Fish Caught: 3 Dorado between 10-15 Lbs

Barbara went with her party of 4 and had a great time out in the water. I think I remember someone saying they had got seasick, but can't confirm this!! Anyhow, it was great out in the water and had a nice number of Dorado at the end. Thanks Barbara and hopefully we'll see you again in the near future.

Customer: Lou Wheeler
Boat: RedRum

Once they were all set to start their fishing trip Cindy decided not to join Lou in this trip so he went solo. Not a bad day for one guy, huh? Congrats Lou!!

Fish Caught: 1 Tuna
Crew: Ramon and Jesus
Robin and Hub wen't on a full day trip on Thursday but decided to come back a bit early after they got soaked! it wasn't a bad day though, for a half day they caught 1 Tuna! Nice job guys. Have a safe flight home.

Customer: John Pierson
Boat: Nuevo
Fish Caught Day 2: 11 Tuna 20-30 Lbs

John had an awesome time the first day he wen't fishing so he decided to go for round two and boy he did great. Had a total of 11 Tuna on his second trip and 1 Dorado on day 1. Nice job John, hope to see you again next year.

Fishing is taking place on the pacific side going anywhere from 26 to 37 miles out to catch them.

Tuna, Tuna, Dorado & Marlin!

Happy Wednesday Guys,

Really looking forward for the upcoming holidays! I will be flying to Mexico City and visiting my whole family who will be reuniting after a a few years. Awesome!!! I am so thrilled. But enough about that.

Even though fishing has been OK these past couple of days, we've still been slammin' Tuna, Dorado and Stripers!

Out of the 4 boats we had out yesterday, they all came back with a catch or a catch and release!

On Nuevo we had Marilyn Cox and her party of 4 fishing with Captain Jesus and Mate Manuel. Someone from that crew said Jesus was a wonderful performer, we are glad to receive all sorts of feedback related to our crew. So out in the water it started off a bit slow in the morning but in the end they had caught and released a Striped Marlin. Captain said it was around 120 Lbs. Great team Work Cox's!

RedRum's crew Omar, Americo and Jesus also received great reviews from John Pierson who said Jesus had a great eye to spot Marlin (Ironic but both Jesus' are father and son) anyways, John ended his day with a 160 Lbs Striped Marlin that was around 9ft! and a 25 Lbs Dorado. Not bad huh?

We also caught a big Tuna yesterday 50 Lbs which is not a bad size at all! this was on a half day trip with Return customer Ken Kessler who had fished with us earlier this year. Ken loves the way we work that's why he always comes back and is even scheduled for another two more trips in Feb. 2011! Thanks Ken!
He fished on Tantrum with Ramon and Juan (Juan is also brother to Jesus and son of Jesus...Sorry for the confusion!) Juan is also our employee of the month. Ken caught a 50 lb Yellowfin Tuna out on the Pacific side yesterday. Congratulations.

Last but not least, we had another half day trip with Ken Sylvester. His trip started around 11 since he was on a cruise ship and the arrival was delayed an hour and a half. But in the end he and Jake Sylvester reeled in 3 Yellowfin tunas that were between 8-10Lbs. All fish was caught and released in this party. They fished on ReelRum with Captain Edgar and Mate Omar.

Thanks for reading.
