Weekend Run Down

I hope everyone had a great weekend just like Redrum did. The fishing stayed very good over the weekend for us as we recorded several Stripe Marlin catch and releases as well as many many tuna in the area.

Right off the Arch about 12-20 miles out is where the boys primarily fished this weekend.

The panga fishing also proved to be active as we sent Steve Stephensen and his group of buddies out for a trip with Carlos. Yellowtail, and Rooster were the 2 targets for these gentlemen and they nailed both on their outing.

The weather was beautiful all weekend which made for excellent fishing conditions!

April 3rd Fish Report

Pic of the Day: Ken Root and his group of buddies pose for a picture outside the Redrum office after having a couple of cold ones. They spent the rest of their afternoon talking about the 103", 165 pound Stripe Marlin that Dennis Walkes (in red shirt) pulled in on Rum Runnin!

Todays Fish Report:

Today was the day for Marlin. After over a week of catching Yellowfin Tuna and more Yellowfin Tuna the boys pulled in the Billfish!

Rum Runnin fished a half day with Ken Root and his buddies. They were able to land a monster Stripe Marlin that took 2 people to reel in! The fight lasted quite a while for Dennis Walkes handed the rod over to Mr. Root to finish the fish off! It was the first for Mr. Walkes and he swears next time that he will be better prepared for the fight! Great job, nice group of guys!

Mr. Mike Knipfer fished his first of 3 days on Tantrum with Cesar. The guys on Tantrum were having tough luck trying to land fish with the live bait that were given to them in the morning so Cesar and Americo got to work and "made bait" in the deep waters of the 1150 mark. They pulled up enough Green-Back Mackeral to fill the live well and were ready to go. As soon as those macks hit the water near the Marlin the fish were chomping at them! After the bait change they were able to land 2 pretty much back to back and they were set for the day! They still have 2 more days with Cesar and don't want to get too warn out on the first go 'round!

El Nuevo took out Stacey and Mario Lozina for a day of fishing. Today Stacey is celebrating a birthday and we want to wish her a very happy birthday from everyone here at Redrum!! They had a great time with Alex and Juan who at the beginning had the same problems as Cesar with the bait. Than all of a sudden " Bam, the 2 lines went off and sure enough, double hook up". Mario explained to me that his "Marlin took off so fast it almost spooled him within 40 seconds". Stacey was fighting hers heading one direction while Mario was busy with his going the opposite way! Eventually Mario decided to let his Marlin off the line so Stacey can battle her fish with more attention from the crew. They tightened the line on Marios rod and snapped the line off, freeing up some room to manuever for Alex and Juan to get Staceys fish to the boat. After a good 45 minute fight Stacey had her beauty up to the boat with Mario snapping away! Hope that you had a great birthday. Mario, you're a gentlemen for letting your wife take the Marlin. You will be rewarded next time you fish!! Karma you know!!!

The McArthy group headed out on 2 Redrum boats today. The group of 7 split up: 3 with Omar and Jesus on ReelRum and 4 with Sal and Tili on Red Beam. They youngsters on Reel Rum slightly outshined the adults on the Beam. Omar and Jesus were able to help the kids catch and release 2 nice Stripe Marlin while Sal managed to hook one long enough to get it to the boat for the pictures. Great job guys, and sorry about the loss Mr. McArthy!! See you guys next time.

It is great to see the Marlin bite continue to pick up and we hope it sticks around a while. I'm itching to get out on a boat, this office stuff isn't quite for me!!

Next time,

Luis

April 2nd Fish Report

Pic of the Day: Captain Rene gives 2 thumbs up to the great day of fishing on the Redrum boats! Rene works as our full-time mechanic as well as the Captain on Utopia, our 54 Hatteras.

Todays Report:

Dr. Thomson and his family headed out on El Nuevo this morning ready for a day of fishing. They ended of the day with a nice size Dorado as well as 2 Tunas. They had a great time on the boat with Alex and Juan.

Yet again Javier and Manuel show their anglers a great time on the water. Mr. Andy Miller and his family had an amazing time fishing on Rum Runnin today. All Mr. Miller wanted was for his children to have a great time and get to see big fish! They got a see a "big fish" when their dad reeled in a Stripe Marlin well over 100" and well over 150 pounds. The kids got into the action themselves catching 9 Yellowfin Tuna!

Omar and Jesus were back at it today with Captain Tom from Atlantic City. ReelRum had Tom and his wife on board for a half day and they were both able to catch and release a Stripe Marlin! They had a great time fishing with the 2 and we hope to see them back soon.

Captain Sal on the Red Beam had a fun time fishing with Mr. Smith and his family. The group were able to catch 3 Dorado as well as 8 Yellowfin Tuna. We hope they had a great time because Sal said you were some great people!

Tantrum headed out for just a few hours and was able to catch and release a Stripe Marlin as well as a Dorado and a Yellowfin Tuna.

We will be back at it again tomorrow hopefully sending and recieving each boat out safely.

Redrum Starts the Month of April off with a Bang

Shawn Stoops and friend heading back to the tendor after a long day of catching Tuna and Stripe Marlin on TANTRUM!

Team Redrum started the month of April with a great day of fishing! It was a hectic morning as it seemed like everyone showed up at once and were all equally eager to fish, which is very understandable when the fish reports have been this good!

After George hustled around making sure everyone got on the correct boat the boys were running! At the end of the day all was good in the Redrum office with happy clients, tired boys and beautiful weather down in Baja!

Todays Report:

El Nuevo and Rum Runnin had a heck of a day. Alex and Juan on El Nuevo fished with the Lawrence party while Javier and Manuel took out Mr. Steve Stephensen and his buddies from AC on Rum Runnin. Both of the boats caught more Yellowfin Tuna than they could imagine! Alex did have a Stripe Marlin on the line for a little while but after a crazy acrabatic display by the fish, it got itself off the hook.

The Red Beam continues to prove itself to the rest of the fleet as she had a great day catching and releasing a Stripe Marlin, 1 Dorado, and 7 Yellowfin Tuna. Sal took out Mr. Root and his boys for a day of fishing. Mr. Root swore to me that his boys wouldn't get tired on their trip, I am not too sure that they're going to be too tired to go out tonight but I can gurantee their arms will be hurting!! Hope you had a good time, see you guys on Thursday.

Reel Rum led the fleet with 3 Catch and Release Marlin today as well as 1 Dorado and 11 Tuna.

Mr. Shawn Stoops came off the Princess Cruise Ship and had a great time fishing with Rene and Americo! The four gentlemen got off the cruise ship at around 9:00am and were on the boat in a matter of minutes. With Rene as captain they headed out about 14 miles and hit the Tuna hard! They caught "mucho, mucho, Tuna" said Rene. They were also supper excited when they hooked into a Stipe Marlin at about mid-day. Rene and Americo were able to get it to the boat for a few shots and back into the water before any harm was caused to the fish.

We look foward to a great month of fish in Cabo and hope you can join us shortly.

Saludos,

Luis

March 31st Fish Report

Redrum hosted a great group of anglers today! We were lucky enough to be part of the Hansen-McMillan wedding group that Redrum friend Kent Hansen brought down this past week. 20 of the now, McMillans closest friends and family came aboard the Redrum fleet today.

Each boat headed out with 4 anglers, filling El Nuevo, Rum Runnin, Red Beam, Reel Rum, and Tantrum.

Tantrum was the first boat back and Cesar had one heck of a day. It had been a few days that Cesar was unable to captain his boat due to fighting the flu. One day this past week his fever hit 102 degrees and if you know Cesar, you are going to hear about it from him all day/night! Cesar did not miss a beat though as him and Americo were able to catch and release 5 Stripe Marlin as well as 2 Yellowfin Tuna.

Alex took his 4 anglers and hooked them into 8 Yellowfin Tuna, 1 Dorado, and 1 Stripe Marlin. Looking towards the month of April, El Nuevo is going to be one of the busiest boats in the Marina. Alex and Jua are catching a lot of peoples' eyes down here with the way the have been fishing together since Juan came on board.

Red Beam continues to impress all of her anglers. Kent Hansen has been fishing with owner John Donovan for years now. He wanted to test out Red Beam and her crew. Both the crew and the boat passed Mr. Hansens standards, 11 Yellowfin Tuna and a Stripe Marlin. Not a bad day!!

Jesus captained ReelRum today as Omar took his day off today. These boys work 6 days out of the week and with the way it's been there has not been much down time. If they could fish 7 days out of the week they probably would! None the less, Jesus did a great job putting his group on 6 Yellowfin and 1 Dorado!

Rum Runnin was the last boat in today because a late Stripe Marlin hook up delayed their arrival just a little. The boys have been trolling high speed trolling lures on their way in and their way out of the Marina now a days. On the way in the lure slowed up a Marlin just enough to give Manuel a chance to pitch a live bait to it. As soon as the bait hit the water the fish was on it and running Manuel told me. They were able to get it to the boat for some quick photos before the realse. Javier and Manuel also caught 6 Yellowfin and a Dorado!

It was a pleasure working with you guys and we wish the best of luck to the new Mr. and Mrs. McMillan. We hope you had a great time and look foward to working with all of you again!

If anyone is interested in bringing a large group down to Cabo to fish please let me know. We organize trips for groups all the time and we think it is a great way to get together and spend a day in Cabo. You can reach me on my email at info@redrumcabo.com. If you mention that you read the fish report I will give you a good deal!!

Saludos,

Luis

March 29th Fish Report

Reel Rum and El Nuevo both had anglers comming off of cruise ships today. We enjoy accomodating cruise ship passengers and think it is great that they want to spend the short time that they are in Cabo on one of our boats!! Thanks guys!

Reel Rum was back just right after noon time. Omar and Jesus had taken Mr. Todd Norwood and his son out for a half-day trip and caught more Sierra and Yellowtain than they could count!! They were also able to hook into the infamous squid!

Alex took Tim Davis and his group of friends out on El Nuevo for a half-day. They were able to fight a Stripe Marlin up to the boat in the 5 hours they were out. They caught and released a 101" Stripe Marlin and we set for the day. The guys may have had a better time than the girls as they were busy feeling the effects of being on the open water!

Rum Runnin was the third boat back today. Jason Davidson and his gang from the DFW Metroplex headed out with Javier and Manuel. The boys got hooked into a mess of Yellowfin Tuna on their full day trip. Although they wanted to land a Marlin there wasn't one to be landed. They spotted several but could not get them to bite. It was nice meeting you guys.

Tantrum had a long day on the water with Rene and Americo. The boys tried their hardest to land fish and were in the right spots all day. They were able to grab 1 Tuna on their day out with the boys.

Tight Lines,

Luis

March 28th Fish Report

A Happy Birthday goes out to Donny McWhiter from California. On his 19th Birthday he headed out on Tantrum with Americo and Ramon. He hooked into a nice 102" Stripe Marlin. The fight took well over 45 minutes he said and that he was "already feeling sore". Being an athlete and about to take his football carrer to the NCAA level you think a fish wouldn't be able to slow this kid down!! I wonder how his arms are feeling today. Best of Luck next year Donny.

Our group from Fort Worth, TX headed out on RedBeam with Rene and Juan for the day. With high winds that blew in from the North some larger than normal swells followed. They were able to find a school of Porpoise and tear up the Yellowfin Tuna for about half-an-hour before having Rene head back in. They had a great time and a fabulous fresh fish dinner at Misiones de Kino later that night!

Helen Tierney from New York headed out with her family for their second day with Redrum. Her first day was not exactly what she expected when the manifold on Red Beam went out! She was understanding enough to give us another shot and we were able to get them out on Rum Runnin with Javier and Manuel. Javier knew of thier situation and wanted them to have a great day on the water. He stayed connected to Rene on RedBeam and was hitting on the same school of Tuna within minutes of finding the fish. After the kids had reeled in about 5 Yellowfin, Manuel spotted a Stripe Marlin. A live bait was pitched and within seconds a 99" Stripe Marlin was hooked to the end of the line! The fish put up a heck of a fight but was no match for the Tierney Family! Great Job Guys and thanks for being so understanding.

Larry Powell headed out the hottest captain in town. Omar who was the captain that caught the Swordfish a few days ago has been walking around, chest out, head high for the past couple of days!! Jesus spotted a Marlin about 3 hours into their charter and the show was on from there. Bait pitched, boat back down, rod bending, hook set! Just like clock work the boys got to work and landed that Stripe! Mr. Powell was in the seat and after several minutes the fish was brought up to the boat for pictures.
