Monday, a little overcast and a slight breeze

There was a slight breeze this morning that caused a little chop in the water, but nothing too radical. No one was sick or anything and no one came back early, just not glassy. There may be no rhyme or reason to it, but I always feel like I have better days on the water (ie. Catching) when the water has a little chop to it.


The Kadowaki's were back for day two aboard RedRum and they headed north to the Sea of Cortez. Things were slow for a while, as they were looking for Tuna and then things literally exploded. They ran into a school of Porpoise that were chasing bait and the Porpoise school was holding Yellowfin. And Dorado. And Wahoo. And Marlin. And Sailfish. They finished the day with a Sailfish, 4 Tuna, 4 Dorado, 1 Wahoo and 2 Marlin that they hooked but couldn't get to the boat. These guys were slightly stoked when they got back.

Today on TantRum we had a share boat that worked out, which is always great when folks are looking to share the experience and the cost of a day of fishing. Dareld Grube and his wife Kathy, along with Gary Luntz and Anthea Koutroulis spent the day with Ramon and Juan and they had some awesome action as well. They caught and released a Striped Marlin and also caught 7 Dorado.

Jim Poole and his guest joined us for a last minute fishing trip before heading to the airport. They literally got off the boat, changed clothes in the office here and headed to the airport. They had a slow start to the day but managed 4 Dorado and a last minute Marlin.

Roger Huffman and Kendall Karr our good friends from Kansas are back down this year for another Play and Stay Package. http://www.redrumcabo.com/html/packages.html
This year they brought along Joel Jarnigan and Randy Parsons. The guys wanted to focus on Marlin so Javier brought them up to the Golden Gate and it really paid off. They caught and released 3 Striped Marlin before a big Blue Marlin slammed a Williamson Bonito lure on the left corner pole. After making sure they had a good hook-set, Joel Jarnigan was on the rod and he brought in an 11' 8" Blue Marlin that was estimated at over 350lbs. A 9' Striped Marlin and a nearly 12' Blue Marlin isn't all that bad for your first day of offshore fishing in Cabo San Lucas. Roger and Kendall took care of dinner for the crew catching a few Dorado in between the Marlin Madness.
