End of the year wrap-up

The final week of December has been great for RedRum clients with loads of fish to brag about. Sierra and Yellowtail have begun to show up and folks are having a blast inshore with the light tackle fishing for these guys and Roosterfish. I, for one, would have thought the Roosters would be gone by now, but with the water still relatively warm the Roosters are still hanging around.

Offshore fishing has been great as well. This year is certainly looking similar to last year where we saw tons and tons of Marlin in December and January. Heard of a boat that ran to the Finger Banks yesterday that released over 50 Marlin and caught 20 Dorado. As some of you are aware, these guys "catch" Marlin a little differently with the boat doing more of the work; still an impressive feat nonetheless. Golden Gate has been the bank of choice for our Captains and the action there is non-stop with whales, dolphins, sea lions, and of course tons of fish.

Reports out of the East Cape and Sea of Cortez are showing Tuna, Dorado and Wahoo so we hope to see some of those fish in our waters soon.

All in all it has been a great year for RedRum Sportfishing and our anglers. Captain Omar on ReelRum will take the "Top Captain" of the year award in stylish fashion. An early season Swordfish, a monster 650lb Blue Marlin, and the winning Yellowfin Tuna in the Los Cabos Tuna Jackpot were all very impressive. We are however, very happy with all of our Captains and each and every one of them had great years and some fantastic catches.

With over 1000 charters and over 4000 clients this year, we couldn't be happier with2008. That being said, we are really looking forward to 2009. More fish to catch, more records to break and more tournaments to win.

We wish everyone the best in 2009 and look forward to seeing each and every one of you at some point this year. (Even you Mr. Flores)

I also want to say a special thanks to Luis Vela, our former office manager. I am not sure John Donovan will ever let Luis completely leave RedRum and he knows he will always have a place at RedRum and in our hearts. None of what we are today could have been possible without him and the work he has done the past two years. We wish you the best in your next adventure Luis, and no that you are missed by many in CSL.
