Saturday, January 12th

Although it was no record day on any of the boats today a good time was had by all anglers. Randy Shultz and his buddy were worn out from yesterdays 13 Marlin but still came in bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning. Cesar took the day off so Rene took out Tantrum with them. Of course Rene headed out towards Golden Gate where Cesar was yesterday and although they were not able to reel in 13 Striped Marlin they still were able to get 5 to the boat and a pair of Dorado.

Mr. and Mrs. Runnels took out Reel Rum for a full day of fishing. Ramon and Omar hooked them into a Stripe Marlin right off the bat- maybe 8:30, if not before Omar said. The fight was a long one and the Big Striper wasn't to the boat until after 9:00am. The day seemed full of action but the boys could not get the fish to take bait. Bait ball after bait ball, they were chasing Marlin all day. Finally at around 1:00 o'clock they were able to hook into another Stripe Marlin, this one even bigger than the first one. Once to the boat Mr. Runnels told me that it hung over on both sides of the boat. They headed in shortly after and were back to the slip by 2:00pm.

While down on some business Nate Ingwerson thought he would squeeze in a day of fishing. He came to Redrum to help him out and we were able to get him out on El Nuevo. He had meetings until 8:30 and was not able to get to the boat until almost 9:00am but Alex put the pedal to the metal and got to Golden as fast as he could. Nate and his buddy ended up with 2 nice sized Dorado and were nice enough to leave some for the Redrum office for Dinner! Thanks Nate and it was nice meeting you.

Javier and Manuel took the day to clean and wax the boat also changing out the line and hooks. Rum Runnin is looking brand new and ready to catch fish!

Anyone intereseted??? Let us know.

Record Setting Day!!

WOW!! The Marlin bite was very hot today as 2 of Redrum boats set new Records for 2008. Mr. Schultz and his 2 buddies fished on Tantrum and Cesar was able to hook them into 13 Stripe Marlin!! Tantrum's previous record was 8. We know it's very early in the year but it looks like it's going to be one heck of a year for that boat. Mr. Schultz said they could have caught 20 Marlin if it wasn't for 7 of them getting off the lines. The 13 Stripe Marlin ranged from 130-200 pounds. What a great day!

Mr. Anderson saved his best trip for his last! On his last day of fishing with Redrum he and his buddies were able to catch and relase 10 Stripe Marlin! From double to triple hook ups the boys stayed pretty busy all day! They want to give all the credit to the crew as Alex and Juan worked very hard all day long!

Javier and Manuel also had a good day but stopped a little early. Rum Runnin was back to the dock by 11:30 with 4 Stripe Marlin caught and released and a Dorado.

Mr. Andy Frafard headed out with his daughter and her buddies for a day of fishing on Reel Rum. Omar took good care of them and landed 4 Stripe Marlin for them. His daughter Danny was able to Reel in a Stripe Marlin that measured 108 inches and almost 200 lbs! Her new replica is going to look great in their home in Mass.

If the fishing continues to be this good expect more REDRUM Records to be broken in '08.

Saludos!!

Wednesday, January 9th

Rum Runnin' was the first boat back to the slips today. Two of Mike Andersons buddies from his group of 5 were able to land 2 Stripe Marlin and 1 Dorado by 12:30. The other 3 incuding Mr. Anderson fished with Alex on El Nuevo again today. They were able to Catch and Release 3 Stripe Marlin and hunted 3 Dorado to take home for a nice dinner.

Although Reel Rum and crew didn't see another Swordfish today, they still had a great day on the water. When it was all said and done Timothy Andres and his buddies had caught 3 nice size Dorado.

Would it shock you if I told you Cesar caught the most fish today?? I didn't think so! We are happy to say that Cesar was able to catch and relase 6 Stripe Marlin today. Tantrum took the Taormina family out for a day of fishing. She headed towards Golden Gate and being one of the quickest boats around was hooked into a nice Stripe a little after 7:00am. The action did not stop until the 6th was caught right before 2:00pm. Talk about a day filled with action!!

The temperature looks like it may get a little chilly tonight, as there is some cold air that blew in late this afternoon. The fishing should continue to be good as the cold air will not be around long enought to effect the water on the Pacific Side..... let's hope!
I hate the cold!!

January 8th, 2008

Mr. Garamendi and his party 0f 7 headed out with Alex for a long day on the water. Although they were only able to boat 1 Stripe Marlin they spotted "at least 40" said Juan. All the anglers agreed that it was not because of lack of effort that they did not grab more as the boys did everything they could and tried new ways all day long. It's fishing! El Nuevo will head out tomorrow in search for the hungry Marlin!!

Reel Rum spotted a 300 plus pound Swordfish basking in the water and tossed bait for 20 minutes but to no avail. That has been the first Swordfish spotted this year and it is a great sign of good fishing to follow. Omar and Jesus were able to hook the Sauve into a Marlin for a catch and release as well as a Dorado for dinner.

Javier and Manuel headed out for a short day with the Thorley party. The Thorleys came in on the Royal Caribbean cruise line and we able to fish 4 quick hours with us. In the 4 hours they fished Mr. Thorley was able to hook a Stripe Marlin and a Dorado. Mr. Thorley thought the Marlin would look great in his house so he decided to get a fiberglass replica made to forever keep the memory!

With all the boats heading out tomorrow we hope to keep the fish count rising for 2008!!

Monday Afternoon Recap

Buenos Dias!! Couldn't get around to filling everyone in on the yesterdays action so before I start my day in the Redrum office here it goes...:

Yet again Cesar returned back from fishing with outriggers full of flags flying high. Before the day was over Tantrum with angler Jeff Stedman was able to catch and release 6 Stripe Marlin. What made it special was he showed up from a cruise ship at 8:00am and had all 6 Marlin released by 1:00 pm!

Our buddy from the Make-A-Wish Foundation Dave Pirie came down with his wife for a couple days of fishing. On their second day out they headed out on Reel Rum with thier favorite Captain Omar. They had a great day fishing catching and releasing a Stripe Marlin, boating 3 Dorado and a Wahoo.

Mike Anderson brought his group of buddies down for a few days of fishing with Redrum. Yesterday was their first day aboar Rum Runnin and El Nuevo. The group on Rum Runnin returned back with 2 Stripe Marlin as well as a couple of Dorado. El Nuevo, the boat Mike was on boated 3 Stripe Marlin and a Dorado for dinner. They will be at it again tomorrow and Friday so keep yourselves posted to see how they do.

El Nuevo and Reel Rum headed out this morning while Rum Runnin will head out at 10:30 for a half-day. Cesar and Americo are taking their day with no charter to fine tune all the equipment on the boat and give Tantrum a shine.

It looks like it's going to be another beautiful day in Cabo. Todays high looks like it's going to be around 80 degrees, no clouds, and little to no wind. In other words, a perfect day to fish!

January 6th Mid-Day Report

Just got off the phone with the guys out on El Nuevo. Ryan and Brooke headed out with our local buddy Marshall and his Dad who is visiting for a couple of weeks. The four of them headed out for a day of fishing with Alex and Juan. By 11:00am they had already caught 4 Dorado, 3 Tuna, and a Marlin. Seems like they are having a great time!! Ryan told me they found a school of Porpoise about 11 miles off shore and trolled in and out of the school with small hoochies. He also told me Brooke hooked into a nice one estimated about 50 pounds!! Nice Job senorita!

Tantrum is also out but I have not heard anything back from them. If they are having a day like El Nuevo I'm sure everyone aboard is busy!! I will keep you posted.

Yesterdays outcomes:

El Nuevo headed out with the Olsen family and caught and relased 6 Stripe Marlin during their full day with Alex. Daniel chartered Rum Runnin for the day and came back with 4 Stipe Marlin caught. Local buddy April Bonds headed out on Reel Rum with her friends and they also caught and released 4 Stripe Marlin with Andrew and his family. His family had a great day catching and releasing 3 Stripe Marlin as well as a Sailfish. That makes Cesar the first Redrum captain to pull up a Sail in 2008! Leave it to Cesar!

Stay tuned for updates on the rest of the day.

Big Marlin Today...

Well we didn't have anyone with double digit Marlin catches, so I guess fishing has come back to earth. But, we did have some really nice size Marlin brought in today. Cesar and Rene fished with Andy Miller and his son and they caught and released two Marlin, one estimated at 190lbs. Another father and son duo was the Fulton party aboard Rum Runnin'. They also brought in two nice size Marlin, a Dorado, and a few Red Snapper as well. All smiles from the Fulton's. Matt Rudolph and his buddies fished on El Nuevo and had a great day. 3 Marlin and 1 Dorado were caught. Matt had a really nice Striped Marlin estimated at 200lbs. He decided a replica of the fish would look great in his lake house and had to have a trophy. Realizing the fish may not fit, he called the builder and had the specs in the house changed. Now that is cool! The Hale family, last but not least, fished with red hot Captain Omar. They caught and released a Marlin, and boated a Tuna and two Dorado. Someone from the family got a little seasick, but we won't mention her here. The last thing we would want to do would be to embarrass their teenage daughter!! She got big props from everyone at RedRum for hanging in there though.
