Sorry folks, I know it has been a while. Luis is off in Atlantic City at a tradeshow with John Donovan and I didn't have the first clue how to post here.
Fishing was slow the last week in January, full moon wreaked havoc. There were a few Marlin coming in, but for the most part slow.
Late last week though things started to pick up as we saw more and more Marlin coming in every day. Haven't seen a Dorado in a while, but still seeing an occasional Wahoo. Tuna have been found every few days by boats heading straight out of the marina. A partner boat yesterday caught 8, after finding a school about 22 miles straight off Cabo. Sierra have showed up as well. Another partner boat went out and caught a ton of Sierra yesterday. A good inshore bite is always fun.
Yesterday, Javier led the charge with 4 Marlin.

Friday, January 25th
The infamous Homer Jones and his wife Barbara headed out with Cesar for a day to try to catch Marlin. They went out with the right captain and the right boat! Tantrum put Barbara on her first Stripe Marlin, and added 4 more to Homer's count! They also had 2 Stripe Marlin that got off as well. It was a pleasure having them fish Redrum. Cesar and Americo said you 2 are welcomed back anytime.
El Nuevo pulled in right after Tantrum. Mr. and Mrs. Mukon headed out with Alex and Juan and were able to pull in a nice size Wahoo as well as a Tuna.
Steve Pohlman came in off a Cruise Ship and fished just long enough with Javier and Manuel to get onto a nice Stripe Marlin.
Mr and Mrs. Bennett walked into the Redrum office checking to see if we had any extra boats available for the day. It just so happened that ReelRum was not booked. I looked over at Omar and Jesus who were happily enjoying their breakfast and told them to get the boat ready. Excited, they both wrapped up their meals and hustled down to the boat to start the engine and head out. Mr. and Mrs. Bennett were able to catch and release 2 Stripe Marlin before heading back. They claim that Jesus "was the hardest working mate they had ever seen". That means a lot comming from a couple that has fished just about everywhere!
Friday night in Cabo San Lucas!

Attack of the Giant Squid!!
Our (2) 28' ft. boats got into a mess of Giant Squid today. The Marceau party hooked themselves into 4 Giant Squid while fishing on Tantrum with Cesar. Each of the squid were well over 6ft long. Cesar and Americo also worked to get them on 5 Yellow-fin Tuna as well as a Dorado. ReelRum was getting into a mess of squid just a mile or so away from Tantrum. The Sillman party fished on ReelRum and was able to catch 3 Yellowfin Tuna, catch and release 1 Stripe Marlin and 3 Giant Squid. The Tuna provided dinner at Misiones De Kino where we ran into them just as they were finishing up. "Best dinner we have had in Cabo", Mr. Sillman told us.
El Nuevo and Rum Runnin were able to stay clear of the Squid but were still able to get on the fish. Blase Barbera and his group of buddies came down to fish on our two larger boats. Alex and Juan were able to catch and release 2 Stripe Marlin with Mr. Barbera and 2 of his buddies. The other (3) anglers fished with Javier and Manuel and were able to catch 4 Yellofin 1 Dorado and catch and release a Stripe Marlin.
Our Marina Manager George said that Squid will eat anything and everything including eachother when roaming around. Although it is a good sign of fish being around the area the squids are chasing them down as well.

We are happy to announce Utopia, the newest addition to the Redrum fleet (54' Hatteras) caught and released her first Stripe Marlin in Cabo this afternoon. Robert and Andrew Schlesier invited Redrum's Ryan Donovan and John Henigan out for a day on the boat. Rum Runnin crew members Javier and Manuel went along as well to check it out and try to put the boys on some fish. They ended the day with a nice Stripe Marlin while only being out for a few hours.
Rum Runnin and Reel Rum stayed in thier slips today so Rene our mechanic could do a little maintenance on them. They are ready to rock tomorrow as they both have charters.
Cesar caught and released 2 Stripe Marlin with the Renford/Keyes share. Our friend Gregorio from Lennys Deli sent his buddies over to us to fish on El Nuevo. They were able to catch and release a Stripe Marlin as well as a Wahoo for dinner.
A quiet and cloudy day in Cabo with not a lot of action in and around town. Days are a little cooler now with a little more cloud coverage.

Utopia Arrives!!
At around 9:00pm last night Redrum owner Ryan Donovan called me to let me know they were heading into the Marina in Cabo San Lucas. The boat is a beauty. The inside, set up for a luxury ride. Couches, full kitchen, flat screen, the whole 9 yards so to say. Don't mistake its beauty though, when it comes to fishing this 54' Hatteras is playing with the big boys. Equipped with the best GPS, Fish Finders, and Penn and Shimano gear this boat is going to make quite an impact down here.
Just thought I would let everyone know Utopia has arrived in one piece and all is well!

The anglers, captains and mates on the Redrum boats today all work hard to start the week off great! ReelRum was the first back to the slip with 2 Stripe Marlin and a Mako Shark all caught and released. Mr. and Mrs Evans had a great time with Omar and Jesus especially as the Mako shark got closer and Jesus was teasing Mrs. Evans about getting it on the boat! We wouldn't do that to you! Luckily the shark cut through the liter before it got too close to the boat!
Tantrum also ended the day with 2 Stripe Marlin with the Brunton party. They were able to land 2 large Stripe Marlin well over 200 pounds, according to Cesar. Great job guys!
Rum Runnin had a great day with Gary Wall from good ol' Dallas, TX. He was able to catch and release 3 Marlin on his day out with Javier and Manuel aka. Mickey!
Mr. Sauve headed out again with us after his first trip earlier this month. He fished on El Nuevo with Alex and Juan. Alex worked hard getting fish to the boat with his changing of lures. Together they were able to catch and release 2 Stripe Marlin!
Attached is a picture of the REDRUM Team at our recent Christmas dinner.
Bottom Row: Javier, Alex and Ramon
Middle Row: Cesar, Jorge, John, Manuel, Americo and Jesus
Back Row: Luis, Ryan, Juan, and Omar
Good Looking group of guys aren't we!!

Weekend Recap
Let me fill you guys in quickly on what happend over the weekend.
Friday we had the Steve Hayward from Texas bring his buddies down for a couple of days of fun and fishing. They took out Rum Runnin and Tantrum on day one and did fairly well. They were able to boat a total of 6 Stripe Marlin, 2 on Tantrum with Cesar and 4 on Rum Runnin with Javier. Mr. and Mrs Nienczyski headed out with Omar on Reel Rum and caught and released a Stripe Marlin while Alex took out Mr. Merrill and his group and brought in a Stripe Marlin as well.
Saturday the fishing continued to be good as Steve took out Reel Rum and bagged a few more Stripe Marlin totalling their count up to 11 for the 2 days. Not bad if you ask me!
Bruce Billings fished with his 2 sons Brody and Jonny. Talk about nice guys with great luck for fishing! On their first day out with Javier and Rum Runnin they caught and released 4 Stripe Marlin and also caught a Dorado.
This leads us to Sunday. On their second day fishing with Javier they wanted something they could take back to the states with them. They got what they were looking for! At around 10:00 a line went of on the boat. My man Brody was the first to grab the screaming rod as more and more line was heading out. Pretty big Marlin they all throught. Little did they know that on the other end of the line was a 150+ lb Yellow-Fin Tuna! Biggest one I have seen since I moved here over a year ago. Jonny reeled in a couple of Stripe Marlin after that and Bruce was able to get his hands tired fighting a Marlin of his own. It was great meeting you guys and best of luck. Good Luck on the wedding Brody.
Mr. Kilpatrick and his wife headed out on El Nuevo with Alex and Juan. They caught and released 3 Stripe Marlin and brought in a few Skip Jack as well. Here is a copy of the email Jeff sent me upon returning to his hotel.
"We had a great time- catching four marlin and three tuna. We had three other marlin hookup and something chewed through my steel leadered bait-I-magic lure! It was brand new and designed for sharks. alex our captain thought it was probably a wahoo or mako. These leaders are designed for large sharks so it something with a mouth of strong teeth! Crew was great and worked very hard the whole day! We will be back in the high seaon when it must be incredible fishing as compared to the amazing fishing today on your 33' bertram."

The wonderful Mr. and Mrs. Potts fished with Omar and Jesus on Reel Rum and caught and released for Stripe Marlin on a rough day on the water. They got beat up pretty hard but stuck with it and faught the 4 Marlin to the boat as well as a large Mako shark!
The weather was BEAUTIFUL all weekend in Cabo. Highs around 80, no clouds or wind which made for great fishing confitions!
