Wednesday Update

Joe Scamardo and his Italian Mob fished again today with us and wanted to get out and search for Tuna and Marlin after catching a bunch of Dorado yesterday. The guys fished hard and certainly put forth the effort. While they did see some Marlin they couldn't get any to bite. Great group of guys and it was a pleasure meeting everyone. Hopefully we see you guys back next year.

Greg Spreen and Jennifer Halverson were back on the water today aboard TantRum with Ramon and Juan. While they got into the Dorado again, catching 2, they also got into some billfish action. Greg wanted to go after some Tuna this morning, so I recommended making a big circular loop in the morning heading eventually towards Golden Gate. They spent about three hours looking for Tuna, and while they found some Porpoise, they couldn't get a Tuna bite. The good thing was, when they were ready to call it quits, they were close to the Golden Gate and they soon found some action. Greg caught a nice 99" Striped Marlin and another a bit smaller, plus the 2 Dorado.

Ken Moss and Jon Kendall were back on the water with Ulyses today on Grey Light. These guys came back excited as they thought they might have had a World Record catch on their hands. Fishing with 10lb test, Ken caught an estimated 120lb Sailfish, in less than 5 minutes!!! Unfortunately, there is no 10lb line class in the IGFA, it goes from 8lbs to 12lbs. The 12lb World Record for Pacific Sailfish was caught in Australia and weighed in at 170+lbs. World record or not, it was an impressive catch! The guys also got 3 more Dorado today, great day!!

Sumner and Andrea Brown from Weymouth, Massachusetts joined us today aboard AnzueloII. These guys had a great day with Captain Lupe catching a bunch of Dorado and Tuna. They weren't even sure how many they had, Sumner claimed, "I don't like eating them, just enjoy catching them." I know their are a few readers of this blog out there that would love to enjoy those filets! To each their own.

John Heitkamp, Mike Nickerson and Gary Johnson fished with Javier today and they too caught a bunch of Tuna and Dorado. John also mentioned he only wanted a few filets for Missiones de Kino and was going to leave the rest with his buddy Wally here in town. Lucky Wally, I know. John has been fishing with RedRum for about 15 years and is probably our longest tenured client. After his day on the water John told me about his collection of RedRum gear, hats, t-shirts, flags, etc. He claims to have about 45 RedRum hats from over the years and says his wife plans to take the logo's from all the hats and shirts and make a quilt for us. Too cool huh, can't wait to display that in the office. Great seeing you John.

Last but not least we had William Ott and Joanne Davis with us aboard ReelRum with Captain Omar. William and Joanne were the first ones here this morning, beating me to the office. I guess you could say they were excited! And, they had every reason to be, they must have known they were going to battle a Marlin and 8 Dorado today!

Another great day,

Ryan
