Sunny weather and blue skies, why wouldn’t anyone want to be fishing? Despite the breeze, the Pacific side has been calm and boiling with stripers and sharks. Don’t get excited, not strippers boys.
First group to the office this morning is a long time RedRum customer Dallas along with his wife Kathy. We paired them up with another nice couple from North Carolina looking to share a boat. They headed out on the RedBeam to Golden Gate. Each couple came back with a catch and release striper. Dallas and Kathy had their hearts set on dorado, so it looks like they’ll have to head out again (oh bummer) to catch their goal!
Next out was Kathryn and Randy from Annapolis, Maryland. A super nice couple whose friends we met on the Tropical Jazz & Wine cruise a few weeks back. Amidst many cocktails we had good times on board and Roy and his wife were nice enough to recommend RedRum to Kathryn and Randy. By the way if any of you come to Cabo and would like a nice sunset cruise that is free of spring breakers and body shots, I highly recommend the Tropicat Jazz & Wine cruise. It’s top notch with great food, staff and beverages, and not just wine either. Anywho, Randy and Kathy headed out to Golden Gate aboard RumRunnin. Randy was quite a trooper as I think he spent most of his time hurled over the edge of the boat, and Kathy was nice enough to take pictures. Thatta girl, good blackmail someday! In the midst of blowing lunch, they caught and released 3 striped marlin and one baby mako. And despite not feeling well, Randy stayed out there the whole time, not that is a true fishermen!
Returning with us once again is John, Kirby and Lewis. Hailing from Calgary and Victoria they boarded El Nuevo and also headed out to Golden Gate. They caught and released 3 striped marlin in the water of the Pacific. They almost got a dorado on board, and managed to land their mako. Nice job guys, we hope to see you guys back here again!
And last but not least is Erick and Gayla. Now I think Erick owes Gayla a big thanks as she is the one that convinced him to actually go fishing! I love women like that. I think he was on the fence and she pushed him into the arms of Omar and Americo on ReelRum. After their trip they came back to the office and Gayla says, “we had a terrible time, just terrible.” In the background I see Erick’s face filled with smiles and glee. I wasn’t quite sure what to think but figured Gayla was being sarcastic. She continued, “you guys made him reel in 4 striped marlin! He is exhausted and we had to come back early.” And they did, showed up at the office around 1:30. Well that about sums it up, oh and 3 of the stripers were just shy of 200 pounds, not to mention the mako they pulled in as well.
Excellent day for everyone! Have a wonderful rest of the weekend.

Great Fishing = Great Fun!
A great calm clear day down in Cabo, nothing out of the ordinary or bad happened out on the water for all you superstitious people out there on Friday the 13th. In fact it was a phenomenal day for those on RedRum boats.
First to arrive this morning was the chipper group from Denver who John and I met at the Sportsmen's Expo show. This enthusiastic crew coming to Cabo once again for a fun vacation and decided to fish with us this time down. Tiffany and Shawn along with Steve and John headed out to Golden Gate aboard ReelRum. Although the breeze is still in the air they said the ride out there was smooth. They reeled in 5 catch and release marlin, 1 mako shark and 1 dorado. Hell of a day guys, we look forward to seeing you back down soon.
Next up was the ever bubbly group from New Jersey. Some mutual friends of ours via our buddy Nick out east (what up Nick!). Thanks for sending us a fun handful of sarcastic easterners! Tom, Amanda, Pat and Catherine headed out on RumRunnin with Chivo. They too got into the marlin out at Golden Gate and caught and release 5 of them. And the sharks must be everywhere out there because they reeled in a mako as well. Pat, many thanks from Ryan for his beloved Dunkin' Donuts coffee... he was about to run out. Much appreciated!
And last but not least was another group of fun loving people! The Smiths from Maryland and the Shields from Colorado had no complaints on the water today. They headed out on the RedBeam and reelend in 4 dorado! Plenty for them to eat for dinner!
Oh, and the group on El Nuevo, another no show. Shame on them, they missed out on some killer fishing!
Wishing all of you a light spirited Friday the 13th.
Feliz Noche... Brooke

Attitude is Everything
The winds are still ever present in the afternoons down here in Cabo. But that hasn't stopped the fish from biting.
Aboard the RedBeam was George, Natalee, Larry and Linda all coming from Ohio. After buying a time share down here in Cabo, they've become annual vacationers to the Baja. After fishing with us last year, they came back for more. They reeled in 2 nice dorado for dinner.
Jeff, Drake, Ron, Kylan and Kaden all came down from Canada and have been on RedRum boats before. This time heading out with Chivo aboard RumRunnin. With the winds they way they are they fished out by the "Faro" a.k.a Lighthouse where they caught and released 1 marlin. On their way back in they did some fishing close to shore from the lighthouse and ran into 5 dorado! Plenty for them to take back to their hotel and cook up for dinner. Nice job guys, and enjoy!
Jason, Brian, Jennifer, Jason and Anique headed out today on El Nuevo's long awaited new engine. Getting out of the cold weather in Minnesota the hot sun of the Baja gave them some nice color on the water today. They had a good day on the water catching and releasing 2 stripped marlin. They were great sports when the boats alternator base broke off unexpectedly, having nothing to do with the new engines. Our faithful mechanic Rene was able to head out and meet them to switch the part out quickly and get them back on their own. As many of you know who own your own boats, these things tend to happen, no matter how closely you maintain your boats. We greatly appreciate the easy going and understanding attitude of this group as we do our very best to keep our boats in the best shape possible. We hope to see you guys back here next year.
Ken and Pam headed out for a second day this week aboard ReelRum. Another fun and easy going pair they had a fantastic day on the water. With just the two of them, they were able to pull in 2 stripped catch and release marlin, 2 dorado and 1 small mako shark. They were nice enough to leave the fish with the crew.
Don't forget to send us your pictures and we'll get them up on our website!
I think the quote of the day was, "It wasn't a big deal, it gave us more time on the water fishing". Now that is a great attitude.

Marlin and Dorado, Oh My!
The sunny days of Cabo have returned and the winds have died down a bit from what we've seen last week. The fishing is still taking place out in the Sea of Cortez, some boats at Gordo Banks, some boats right off the arch.
Today was the third and final day for Rudy aboard ReelRum, after 3 days of hard core fishing! On board with Omar and Americo, he had a phenomenal great 3 days on the water reeling a total of 3 catch and release marlin and 13 dorado. The final finale was today, tackling 7 dorado. Plenty for him to take home and plenty for he and his wife at Misiones this evening. If that kind of fishing can't make you happy I don't know what can, job well done! Rudy and his wife are headed out to La Paz tomorrow for more fun on the Baja.
A fun group from Utah headed out on the RedBeam today. Debbie, Jan, Mel and Travis aboard with Captain Marshall had a fantastic day on the water. They got into some marlin as well as dorado. Unfortunately one of the marlin didn't make it but they released the other 3 marlin. And well, the 2 dorado will make a fine dinner for the 4 of them.
The group for El Nuevo didn't show up for their charter this morning which is a bummer, as they missed out on some great fishing. However, after the new engine being put in, El Nuevo is running bigger and better than ever.
And last but not least, my own hubby, yes Ryan, headed out fishing on RumRunnin with his long time buddy Brian and girlfriend Jess, who have been down in Cabo for a month or so, hailing from the east coast. They managed to drink more beers than anything else, but that is to be expected of men fishing, right? Jess, I'm sure had to do the babysitting while I worked away here in the office. The good thing is, they brought home 2 dorado for dinner. Thank you honey.
Until tomorrow!

Too much wind on Tuesday...
...for the boys to head up the Pacific, so all boats fished the Sea of Cortez today.
Rudy headed out with Omar and Americo again today on ReelRum, Rudy landed several Dorado and even pitched bait to several Marlin. The Marlin weren't hungry and Rudy won't be either after a nice Dorado dinner.
The Danattell's from Denver were going to be the first to test out the new engines on El Nuevo, but Rene the mechanic needed "one more day." If I could only patent that phrase in Cabo. Thankfully the Danattell's were understanding when they went out with Gerrardo on SM7. A Dorado for everyone on the boat(5) and even a few Marlin.
Finally, the fellas from the Childress wedding party came in and joined us on Rum Runnin. These guys are going to have great stories the rest of the wedding weekend, not to mention fish. I think these guys had at least 8 fish by the looks of their bad.
See you tomorrow,
Ryan

Monday Monday
No case of the Monday's here. Winds died down and folks were able to head back to Golden Gate. We were worried that we wouldn't be able to get up there, but today was relatively calm on the water.
Rudy is here for 3 days of fishing aboard ReelRum and today was a great start. 3 catch and release Marlin and 3 nice Dorado. Not bad for a guy out there by himself.
Our CCA friends from Louisiana had another great day on Rum Runnin as well. While today was slower than yesterday for them, they were still able to land a nice Dorado and a catch and release Marlin. They are headed to Misiones de Kino for a Dorado dinner. And yes, we are jealous.
The husband and wife Wilczek team went out with Rafa today and they too were able to land and release a really nice Marlin. Great Job guys!
-See you tomorrow, Ryan

Off to the Sea of Cortez
Right around 2:00 yesterday afternoon the winds picked up and haven't really let up since. We had a few boats come back in early yesterday as the anglers were looking a bit green. So today a new destination was in order and the boats headed out to the Sea of Cortez side to get some relief from the beating of the Pacific, to some calmer seas on the other side of Baja.
We had 4 boats head out today and some new species were caught that we haven't seen in the Pacific waters lately.
Harold headed out again today this time for a quick 5 hour trip on a panga and getting into lots of sierra and tuna. He reeled in 25 sierra total and 4 yellowfin tuna on the Sea of Cortez!
Greg and his wife came down from Wasilla, Alaska to fish on ReelRum with Omar and Americo. They headed out to the Sea of Cortez as well and reeled in 5 dorados!
Scott and Andre from Alberta headed out on the RedBeam along with their 2 boys. They too headed out to the Sea of Cortez to prevent any munchkins blowing lunch on board. They reeled in 2 dorado as well.
And last but not least, the 2 couples, Tommy and Ann along with Dennis and Rachel hailing from Louisiana headed out with Javier today. After they got dropped off at the wrong location by the wonderful taxi drivers we have in Cabo, they arrived on time to get on board no problem. They are staying here in Cabo with the Stay & Play package offered by RedRum in the Portofino Condos. On their first day fishing they reeled in 2 nice sized dorados from the Sea of Cortez as well as 2 skip jacks. The question here is, where do you take your catch on a Sunday when Misiones is closed? This question I never know how to answer, especially if they aren't sushi eaters as my first response would be Arts & Sushi. So they are heading out to La Pampa, a great Argentian Steakhouse and will head to Misiones tomorrow night instead.
Now I'm off to pay more attention to my hand in pitch while my other hand on my Corona.
Salud!
