Tuna on the Pacific, Marlin on the Sea of Cortez Side
Well I thought we were going to have more rainy days but I guess I was wrong. In the two years that I've been here I've only seen 4 rainy days! That basically means that 726 days were absolute sunshine!
Tuesday was a cloudy morning and by the time the boats took off, it started to rain and it lasted like 2 hours. Of course this did not have an impact on the fishing. We caught a total of 32 yellowfin and 2 striped Marlin.
From San Celemente we had Steve Milner along with Connor Pasne and Jacob Contreras fishing for a full day on our 32' RumRunnin. During their 8 hours of fishing with Captain Javier and mate Jesus they landed a total of 7 Tuna.
From Delaware and Los Angeles Jorge Goytisolo and his party of 4 fished on our 33' Nuevo with Captain Alex and Manuel. Their fishing consisted of 12 yellowfin tuna. biggest being 40 Lbs and released 2 Striped Marlin that were 96" and 106", the biggest Marlin weighed and aprox 180 Lbs.
Robert Mitchell fished for two days on RedRum with Captain Omar and mate Americo. During their first trip they landed a total of 13 yellowfin tuna. They took some to a restaurant and gave the rest to the crew. Brad and Robert had such a great day out there that they decided to give it another shot in search of Dorado. During their second trip yesterday they caught 1 Marlin around 110Lbs and 1 tuna. A little slower than day 1 but they still had an awesome time.
From New Jersey we had Tara Smith and her party of 8. They fished aboard our 38' partner boat Marlin Too. They were out for a half day trip and only caught 2 yellowfin tuna. Some of the folks got a bit seasick, but they still had a great time. They took some fish to Misiones de Kino to get it cooked up for the night.
On Cabo Chica we had Mike Ray and his party of 5 fishing for a full day. Their morning started a bit rough but in the end everything worked out great. They landed a total of 5 yellowfin tuna weighing around 15 Lbs each. They took all their fish to Misiones for some nice 6 way cooking of their catch. I'm sure they enjoyed their meal.
And last but not least Brandon Emory from Austin Texas along with Jade Burgoyne fished for a full day on our 32' RumRunnin. They caught a Yellowfin between 35-40 Lbs. They had a great day and I'm sure Brandon will come back soon. He's a repeat customer and loved RedRum so much that he decided to come back again. Hopefully we'll see him soon.

4th of July fishing!
4th of July fishing was great here in Cabo. No rain during the day which is even better but a few raindrops don't hurt anybody.
We had all of our boats booked. Just like last year, not much going on here for locals regarding 4th of July but you sure can see firework displays and buffets at resorts which is where our customers are staying so at least they had a great 4th of July.
On partner boat Rosy we had Dan Colman fishing along with Nicolas and Len and they released a total of 2 striped Marlin and caught 7 yellowfin tuna. Their captain was Luis. Great day!
From CCA Texas we had The Fischer Party, who had their first fishing trip on Saturday and they were celebrating Michelle's birthday. On day one all 6 went out fishing for a full day and landed 1 dorado and caught and released 2 striped Marlin (94"&96")
Yesterday only the guys took the trip and they landed 3 yellowfin tuna. Today they have taken off to go back home but I know they had a blast and were very pleased and satisfied with their whole trip from lodging to fishing! Congrats and we hope you had a special birthday Michelle.
on RumRunnin we had Michael DeHart and Christy Hackea fishing for a full day with Javier and Jesus. They caught a total of 5 yellowfin tuna and just like the rest of the groups had a blast out there. Thanks!
From Denver Co, Tyson Smith and Shelby Smith fished for a half day on Tantrum and landed a 120 Lbs 6 1/2 Striped Marlin. These folks were excited that it's not usual to catch a Marlin on a half day trip but they did. It's not unusual either but it's a bit early for it to happen so congrats to these two!
And last but not least Dennis Ortiz fished on nuevo with his party of 7 for a full day and also tried going out for tuna with a success. They landed a total of 5 yellowfin and decided to g et their fish cooked for the night.
Thanks to all and congrats on your catch.

We ended a good fishing month with success.
Another month goes by which means less time for me here at RedRum. Just one more month left and You'll be reading someone else's blogs/fish reports.
We ended June with good fishing. Lot of things happened this week, lot of people to interview, lots of candidates, but right now, we've narrowed it down to 3...I guess the decision will be made on Sunday.
Seas are still at 5 ft and winds remaining at 10-20 mph. The days are hot! I think this will be a very HOT summer, probably even more than last year.
On Nuevo we had Gerry Zachery and Wanny Huang fishing for a full day trip. They were out for a while before they landed their first Dorado. They ended their trip with a total of 2. They took some to get it cooked up for the night and the rest gave it to RedRum for donation. Thanks you guys!
Daniel Sutherland and Craig Pittz fished on RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Jesus. During their 8 hour trip they landed 2 yellowfn tuna, 1 dorado and 1 striped marlin. I heard the marlin was 140 Lbs. These gentlemen were satisfied with their fishing trip. Thanks and congrats on your Marlin
Richard Spragues and his party of 8 fished on Marlin Too with Captin Pancho and mate Jesus. They were out for 8 hours as well and they caught and released 2 Striped Marlin. Not sure the size since they did not come back to the office.
Thanks for reading.

Fish Report for Tuesday June 28th
Hey guys,
Yesterday's fishing was good. I had a group who was a little bit hesitant about fishing but in the end realized it was well worth it.
Seas have still been 5 ft high which is average here in cabo. No one came back because of seasickness.
All our groups had a great time, especially those who were doing a full day charter. Half Day charter are good but I would personally go for a full day instead, chances of catching fish are much higher.
On RumRunnin we had Todd and Tanner Smith who fished with Captain Javier and Mate Jesus for a full day. After their 8 hour trip they came back with 2 Striped Marlin and 1 40 Lb Dorado. Dorado's are coming in and like I've been saying over the past days, the numbers are low, but they're almost reaching the right time.
From Las Vegas Nick and Vander Poel and mel Meier fished on our 33' Nuevo with Captain Juan and mate Manuel for a half day. They had an awesome time catching a nice 140 Lbs Striped Marlin. It's the first one they've caught and they were thrilled about it. Glad they decided to look us up and charter one of our boats. Hope they send in their pics soon so we can post them on this site.
Thanks

Tiny Hands, Tiny feet, there's someone new for you to meet!
Ryan and Brooke Donovan have expanded their house by two feet. They're Dalton Bruin's!
We know this is not a fish report but it will top any fish report we have done in the past or future.
On Monday June 27th, 2011, we welcomed Dalton Bruin Donovan in this wonderful world of fishermen and women. He was born in Cabo San Lucas to the very proud parents.
Both Mom and Bruin (as he will go by) are doing great. Our plans are to get him out fishing soon and setting some world records.
Bruin definitely beats Ryan's Huge Black Marlin landed in 2008 and the jackpot winning Yellowfin of 2009! This is Ryan's biggest "Catch" ever.
We thank all our RedRum friends and family for all there help the past nine months
John(Grampy), Ryan, Brooke, Bruin, Nick

San Franciscans and the mighty Sword fish!
You probably already found out through facebook, twitter and what not, that on Friday we had a group of guys from San Francisco fighting a sword for more than 9 hours?? No? Well here's the scoop!On Friday, I received a call from Captain Omar and first Mate Americo telling me that they would arrive a bit late because they were fighting a BIG FISH. I right away thought it was a Marlin, little did I know they were talking about a Sword Fish, who's weight was 320+ Lbs.
It's been 3 years 3 months since RedRum fought and landed this kind of fish. The one caught a while back weighed 260 Lbs. After so long and patiently waiting for the next big catch on Friday that wait came to an end. Michael Black, Shawn Meroni, Mark Roberts, Brendan Morris, Conrad Castor and Sameer Advani where at the airport Thursday about to catch their flight to Cabo San Lucas when they called asking for prices on fishing charter. The information was given and they were going to decide which boat they wanted to take, if any.
A few minutes later I was back on the phone with Mike and they had decided to book the 31' RedRum. Friday Morning came and it was almost 7 AM...no sign of this group, I started dialing the number provided to remind them of the charter, when in Cabo you know it's normal to party out a night before and I just wasn't sure if this was the case. As soon as I hung up the phone, they walked into the office ready for their trip.
These awesome, down to earth guys, were ready for their trip. Omar and Americo walked them down to the boat and off they went into the unexpected. By 11 AM, they had a sword fish on the line, which was caught on live bait with a 50 Lb fishing line and 80 Lb test leader, Custom made fishing pools and shimano reel.
By 6:30 PM, every member of the RedRum family was at the dock waiting patiently to know if the fish had been defeated during the fight, we weren't sure if they were going to land it since it had been over 7 hours of fighting and Mike and team were a bit tired and ready to give up....All of the sudden Omar contacts us and says "It's gone to a better life" The cheering started, everyone was stoaked and you can just feel the great vibe at the dock, beers on RedRum, said Ryan.
At 8:30, after a couple of beers and talking with the security dock manager (who wanted to kick us out), RedRum's headlights start coming in, everyone received Mike Black and his team members with claps, high fives and cheers.
John Donovan had been on the phone with us most part of the day waiting for updated news, I bet he wished he had been here with everyone, it was a fun night. They guys told us how many turns it took each to fight the fish, how they were about to give up on it and how happy and excited they were.
A small interview, thousands of pictures and 6 tired guys was the outcome of this amazing fishing experience. Enjoy one of the many pictures taken and let us know what you think!
Thanks for reading
Nick
