Swordfish??

Rene and Slim took out Kent Somner and his children aboard Utopia today and almost made the catch of the year. Kent had Utopia out for a Sunset Cruise last night and he mentioned that today he wanted to fish for something he could put on the dinner table. Since we haven't seen a Dorado in sometime, Tuna was what we were after. The boys headed out and hooked up on 4 nice yellowfin before they decided to stop biting. Later in the day, the boys spotted a Swordy on the surface. They tossed a live bait and actually hooked up to a swordfish!! You will have to excuse our enthusiasm but it is highly irregular to even hear or see a swordfish. The 200lb leader however was no match and the beast was off the line in a matter of minutes. Good stuff though.

Marlin are biting today

Alex and El Nuevo are back early with 2 striped Marlin, catch and release.

Cesar also has caught and released 2, so far.

Atlantic City Boat and Tackle Show

If you are around Atlantic City this week or weekend, stop by the RedRum Sportfishing booth and say hello.

John and Luis are busy at work, so they say. I think the booth is unattended and they are playing Craps in the casino!!

Sorry Sorry

Sorry folks, I know it has been a while. Luis is off in Atlantic City at a tradeshow with John Donovan and I didn't have the first clue how to post here.

Fishing was slow the last week in January, full moon wreaked havoc. There were a few Marlin coming in, but for the most part slow.

Late last week though things started to pick up as we saw more and more Marlin coming in every day. Haven't seen a Dorado in a while, but still seeing an occasional Wahoo. Tuna have been found every few days by boats heading straight out of the marina. A partner boat yesterday caught 8, after finding a school about 22 miles straight off Cabo. Sierra have showed up as well. Another partner boat went out and caught a ton of Sierra yesterday. A good inshore bite is always fun.

Yesterday, Javier led the charge with 4 Marlin.

Friday, January 25th

The infamous Homer Jones and his wife Barbara headed out with Cesar for a day to try to catch Marlin. They went out with the right captain and the right boat! Tantrum put Barbara on her first Stripe Marlin, and added 4 more to Homer's count! They also had 2 Stripe Marlin that got off as well. It was a pleasure having them fish Redrum. Cesar and Americo said you 2 are welcomed back anytime.

El Nuevo pulled in right after Tantrum. Mr. and Mrs. Mukon headed out with Alex and Juan and were able to pull in a nice size Wahoo as well as a Tuna.

Steve Pohlman came in off a Cruise Ship and fished just long enough with Javier and Manuel to get onto a nice Stripe Marlin.

Mr and Mrs. Bennett walked into the Redrum office checking to see if we had any extra boats available for the day. It just so happened that ReelRum was not booked. I looked over at Omar and Jesus who were happily enjoying their breakfast and told them to get the boat ready. Excited, they both wrapped up their meals and hustled down to the boat to start the engine and head out. Mr. and Mrs. Bennett were able to catch and release 2 Stripe Marlin before heading back. They claim that Jesus "was the hardest working mate they had ever seen". That means a lot comming from a couple that has fished just about everywhere!

Friday night in Cabo San Lucas!

Saludos,

Luis

Attack of the Giant Squid!!

Our (2) 28' ft. boats got into a mess of Giant Squid today. The Marceau party hooked themselves into 4 Giant Squid while fishing on Tantrum with Cesar. Each of the squid were well over 6ft long. Cesar and Americo also worked to get them on 5 Yellow-fin Tuna as well as a Dorado. ReelRum was getting into a mess of squid just a mile or so away from Tantrum. The Sillman party fished on ReelRum and was able to catch 3 Yellowfin Tuna, catch and release 1 Stripe Marlin and 3 Giant Squid. The Tuna provided dinner at Misiones De Kino where we ran into them just as they were finishing up. "Best dinner we have had in Cabo", Mr. Sillman told us.

El Nuevo and Rum Runnin were able to stay clear of the Squid but were still able to get on the fish. Blase Barbera and his group of buddies came down to fish on our two larger boats. Alex and Juan were able to catch and release 2 Stripe Marlin with Mr. Barbera and 2 of his buddies. The other (3) anglers fished with Javier and Manuel and were able to catch 4 Yellofin 1 Dorado and catch and release a Stripe Marlin.

Our Marina Manager George said that Squid will eat anything and everything including eachother when roaming around. Although it is a good sign of fish being around the area the squids are chasing them down as well.

Wednesday, January 23rd

We are happy to announce Utopia, the newest addition to the Redrum fleet (54' Hatteras) caught and released her first Stripe Marlin in Cabo this afternoon. Robert and Andrew Schlesier invited Redrum's Ryan Donovan and John Henigan out for a day on the boat. Rum Runnin crew members Javier and Manuel went along as well to check it out and try to put the boys on some fish. They ended the day with a nice Stripe Marlin while only being out for a few hours.

Rum Runnin and Reel Rum stayed in thier slips today so Rene our mechanic could do a little maintenance on them. They are ready to rock tomorrow as they both have charters.

Cesar caught and released 2 Stripe Marlin with the Renford/Keyes share. Our friend Gregorio from Lennys Deli sent his buddies over to us to fish on El Nuevo. They were able to catch and release a Stripe Marlin as well as a Wahoo for dinner.

A quiet and cloudy day in Cabo with not a lot of action in and around town. Days are a little cooler now with a little more cloud coverage.
