Dorado Frenzy!

We’ve had a super busy Sunday here at the RedRum office. As the tournament season thickens here in Cabo, so does all the general traffic on the water. We had a whopping 9 boats head out this morning. Here is a recap of how they all did on that 83 degree water.

As you guys may know the Bisbee’s Offshore Tournament is going on right now, with Day 2 just finishing up. Ryan is fishing along with the Arthur party on Missing Lenk, no update yet as to how big their Tuna is that they’ll be bringing to scale.

The Roberts clan headed out this morning including Mike, Robert, David, Patricia, Robert, Lynn, Steve, Corey, Karen and Craig on board El Nuevo. These Austin natives are always down for a good time every year they come down fishing with us. Thanks as always for your continued business and great attitudes! El Nuevo was back first after heading out to the Golden Gate area. Fishing closer to the shore an area called Cerrito de Golden they reeled in the majority of their catch. With a whopping 7 Dorado all ranging from 15 – 25 lbs as well as 1 Striped Marlin weighing around 120 pounds. They are gearing up for a yummy dinner at Hacienda.

Arthur and Bradley Rick headed out for Day 2 aboard Tantrum. Coming all the way from Calgary, they are enjoying themselves up at the condos at Portofino for their Stay & Play trip. Today was a killer day for them out at El Cerrito near Golden Gate. With skip jack as their bait they pulled in 13 Dorado, around 15-25 pounds in weight. They released 9 of them and are keeping the rest to take home and to have Chef Cesar prepare a feast for them back at the condo. They had at one point a Striped Marlin and Wahoo hooked up but both got away.

We had a partial group show up today to head out on Pescado III. Those that made the trip were Ross, John, Paul, Gerard, Jeff and Sam. They were 5-6 out from the Lighthouse on the Pacific side where they caught a 140 pound Striper on a hurricane lure. They also got a juvenile sailfish weighing about 60-70 pounds, releasing them both. And last but not least a nice 20 pound Dorado caught on a Ballyhood lure.

Frank, Robert, Donald and Mike headed out again today aboard RumRunnin. They are also staying up at the Portofino condos enjoying their Stay & Play trip. These guys from New Jersey headed out to Golden Gate and were able to pull in 2 Dorado right around 30 pounds each. They are hoping for a more action filled day tomorrow, so we’ll see what Monday brings for them.

Phil along with David, Jeff and Andrea all from California headed out on Anzuelo II with Captain Salvador. They headed out to the Pacific as well where they reeled in 5 Dorado around 20 pounds, one was a little guy. At one point they even had a triple hook up! In the midst of all the action they also had a shark following them that continued to break their line resulting in 3 lost lures. But all in all they’ve got some Dorado for dinner.

And last but not least was Dale Haines and his wife aboard ReelRum. They had a great day out there reeling in and releasing 1 Striped Marlin weighing about 120 pounds. They caught it out at Golden Gate on a hurricane lure. They also reeled in and released a 25 pound Dorado on a dead bait. Great job you guys!
