Mark's First Marlin
Brooke-
Good morning from Houston...........what's good about it when returning from fishing 3 days with Redrum????
I need to send Alex a small package.
Most importantly, on behalf of Renea and myself, we wanted to express our "Texas sized" appreciation of our recent stay in Cabo San Lucas and just how great the time was had!
Very few trips of this kind have all the expectations met. Our trip to Cabo with Redrum was one of those trips where every expectation was just not exceeded, but overwhelmed.
From the morning taco lady, the boat crews, guest chef, massage lady, and the condo, plus marlin and roosterfish.....what a fantastic trip.
We appreciate your efforts and wish you and Ryan the best of success!
If you are ever in the Houston area, our home is open to the Donovans.

Sharon's First Dorado
Just a special thank you for such a wonderful time with Omar and Americo. My sister and I had a great time. We had no idea what we were doing, and now that we tried our hands at deep sea fishing, we are convinced that wecouldn't have pulled in a Marlin if our lives depended on it, but just being out with the two of them on a beautiful day, on the beautiful Cabo waters and the warm Cabo sunshine was a real treat. I did happen to pull in a 30-40 pound Dorado, which was the highlight of my vacation. What a hoot!!! The guys were real gentlemen and did everything to make our trip very pleasant. I'm sure they got a huge kick out of our ignorance, but we didn't care, we had so much fun. If we ever have the opportunity to visit Cabo in the future,we will definitely call you again. Just a side note, we called another charter that was highly recommeded to us, but they never responded. Thanks so much for your response and your excellent service andaccomodations!

Big Tuna still out there....
Marshall hosted some friends from John Hennigin's Fish Talk Radio today and they were in search of Tuna and Dorado. They caught one Dorado before finding a school of Tuna feeding on the surface. Once they got to the fish, they had a double hook-up for a short time, before losing one of the fish. The one that "didn't get away" was a nice 40-45lb Yellowfin. Sounds like some nice steaks for the BBQ at Hennigin's condo.
Manuel and Javier fished with John and Charlene Heather, Keith and Michelle McDonald, and Dominic and Tina Burke, all down from Washington. The ladies were able to keep from getting sick, which I know they were worried about, in part because of the perfectly calm waters today, and in part from the fish they were catching. They headed offshore first thing and got the big Striped Marlin catch and release out of the way. Next, while trolling back towards shore they landed a nice Dorado. And, finally, while doing some inshore fishing they caught a nice Grouper and a Triggerfish varietal. Great day guys, be sure to send us some pics so we can get them up on the web.
Finally, on El Nuevo, we had a long time RedRum client and VIP, Mr. John Heitkamp and his two buddies Clint and Virgil. John has been fishing with RedRum for over 10 years and can even remember far enough back to a time when our fleet manager George actually got on a boat from time to time as Captain of the original 31' Bertram RedRum. The guys spotted a ton of fish, and were able to catch and release one Marlin and also landing a nice sized Dorado. Thanks for coming back to see us John, and give a call to John Donovan next time you are up in San Marcos.
Thanks,
Ryan

Big Tuna today!!
Joe and Suzanne Broussard from Texas City, Texas were out with us again today and had another real nice day. Lots of fish in the water! Tuna, Marlin and Dorado were spotted but not much action from the fish with regard to hook-ups. The boys found a nice school of porpoise that were working bait and Yellowfin and Manuel was able to get two hook-ups. Joe and Suzanne each fought big Tuna, with Joe's heading for the prop and snapping the line. Suzanne was able to land hers though, a big bruiser of about 60lbs. After filleting and vacuum sealing, they should have plenty of Tuna to bring back to Texas. We even saved a few fillets for them to eat at Misiones de Kino tonight.
Adam and Laura Barber also fished with us today and while Javier did his best, he could not get them hooked up. Javier said that he saw 20 different Marlin today and had one playing with a pitch bait, but could not get it hooked up. Later he saw a school of Yellowfin working over a school of bait. After catching a few of the baitfish they were snacking on, he rigged them up and tossed them down, no interest from the Tuna though. Hopefully, it was still a great day on the water!

Knock the Roosterfish off the Bucket List!
Today we had the Mohr party for their last fishing day of their trip. Mrs. Mohr came in this morning and proclaimed that she had never had a chance at a Roosterfish and really wanted to catch one. I let her know that while we hadn't seen a ton of them lately we would sure try.
Captain Alex from El Nuevo had the day off so mate Ramon took the helm and Marshall from the Red Beam filled in. Marshall seams to be our inshore expert so the Mohr's were in luck. True to form, Marshall got them on the fish and they were able to bring in 5 Roosters, all catch and release. Mr. Mohr, even had a nice 35-40lber on before loosing it at the side of the boat, and a nice Amberjack was also lost. The guys were slow trolling live caballito on the Sea of Cortez when they got bit.
After getting the inshore fish out of the way, they decided to head offshore and search for some bigger fish. Once offshore they were able to hook up with and land the final Marlin of the trip. After they returned to port Mr. Mohr came into the office to give Brooke a big hug for setting up their dinner and massages the night before. Thanks very much for coming down and visiting us, look forward to seeing y'all next year.

The Marlin are back!
Another gorgeous day on the water: barely any wind and lots of sunshine.
Today we fished with two groups of smart and compassionate people that purchased a Red Rum Stay and Play package at an auction to benefit our friends, the Coastal Conservation Association.
What is CCA? From their Web site: CCA is a non-profit organization, comprises 17 coastal state chapters spanning the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic and Pacific coasts. CCA’s strength is drawn from the tens of thousands of recreational saltwater anglers who make up its membership. The stated purpose of CCA is to advise and educate the public on conservation of marine resources. The objective of CCA is to conserve, promote and enhance the present and future availability of these coastal resources for the benefit and enjoyment of the general public. Check them out: http://www.joincca.org/index.html.
When not laying out by the pool, receiving massages or having gourmet meals prepared by a personal chef at our ocean view Portofino condos, the Mohrs and Broussards are out fishing with us.
Out for their second day of fishing on our 33’ Bertram “El Nuevo” were the Mohrs from Texas. Captain Alex and mate Ramon traveled over to Gordo Banks, a popular dive as well as fishing location and caught and released 3 Marlin by 1pm. There were lots of Marlin showing off their acrobatic skills and they almost hooked two more. On the way back, they stopped by the lighthouse and caught a Yellowtail for dinner.
The Broussards, new neighbors and friends of the Mohrs, went out on our 54’ Hatteras “Utopia”. You can’t really have a bad day on the water when you have fifty four feet, gourmet lunches and plenty of beer but the Broussards were after an adventure as well. Rene and Mickey headed outside of point 1150 and Mr. and Mrs. Broussard turned up the action and caught and released 2 Marlin by 10am.
It seems that the Marlin are back and ready for a fight!
