April 23rd Fish Report

Redrum owner John Donovan headed out with Alex and Americo on El Nuevo today. He was joined by his older brother Jim and thier friend Mason. They were able to have a great day on the water catching Tuna after Tuna after Tuna. They ended the day with 16 Tuna caught and 7 kept since there was no need to keep that many fish. John was allowed to reel in one of those fish as big brother Jim "kept him out of the sandbox" so to say!

Alan and Danny Ross brought a group of 8 anglers from Los Angeles CA for 2 days of fishing with Redrum. On day 1 they headed out on the 28' boats and combined were able to catch 26 Tuna. They only had to head to 3 miles out before they were hooking up for the rest of the day!

Mr. James Peterson headed out with Javier and Manuel and he, if at all possible wanted to avoid Tuna. He was here for Marlin fishing and although the Marlin bite had not been that great he was able to tie up to one and fight it long enough to get it to the boat for a Catch and Release. Congrats James, hope you had fun buddy!

April 22nd Fish Report

What seemed to be like an overnight change, the Yellowfin tuna were back in town! It was also great to see Dorado flags flying high on our boats this afternoon.

Todays fish Report:

John Donovan had a special guest on George's boat Redrum today. Jim Donovan headed out with Sal on the Red Beam. They were able to catch 25 Yellowfin Tuna as well as 5 Dorado. He showed his friends a great time and George could not have been any more proud!

Cesar had a great day as well with the Anderson party. On their first of two days fishing on Tantrum they were able to catch 4 Tuna, 1 Dorado, a Mako shark and a 117" Stripe Marlin. It was a heck of a fight done by Mr. Andersons son. It will be tough to top a day like that!

Jesus and Omar took out Robert Rusnack today on Reel Rum. He had a great day on Omars 28' California. A Stripe Marlin and a handful of Yellowfin was what they ended up with.

We hope the fishing stays like this for a while! Great day for all.

April 14th Fish Report

Justin Hartzog from Edinburg, TX came down to fish with Redrum today. He came into the office yesterday and said he really wanted to catch Marlin. We put him on ReelRum with Omar and Jesus. They boys hooked him into 3 Stripe Marlin. He had a great time with the boys on the water. He reeled in 2 Stripe Marlin while his wife took care of the other.

Alex and Ramon took out Shawn Daniel and his 3 buddies from New Jersey on El Nuevo. They caught and released 2 Stripe Marlin on their day. They are heading out on Tantrum with Cesar tomorrow. Best of luck tomorrow.

Mr. Moore from the Make-A-Wish crew went out with Cesar for his second trip today and caught and released 4 Stripe Marlin. They had a great 2 days catching and releasing 7 Stripe Marlin.

Robert Logghe fished with his friend Chris Ullom and their wives. Javier and Manuel were able to put them on a 2 Stripe Marlin during their trip out. With the weather and the seas as perfect as they were today I am sure they had a blast.

April 12th Fish Report

Picture of the Day: Trevor (on the left) poses with Manuel (left), his brother and Javier (right) outside of the Redrum office after reeling in his first Stripe Marlin!!

Congratulations to Trevor Neighbors for catching his first ever Stripe Marlin, 94 inches and 145 pounds. Trevor, a youngster from Newport Beach, CA. fished on Rum Runnin with his father Rod, his mother, and his brother. Javier and Manuel took great care of the family hooking into several other Marlin after Trevor reeled his bad boy in! The fish took over an hour to reel in and my man Trevor didn't give up at all. Mr. Neighbors is doing a great job teaching his kids the beauty of fishing and the importance of conservation. By conserving our waters we will be able to see more and more fish for years to come! Congrats Trevor, welcome to the elite group of people that have caught their first Marlins with Redrum!!



Cesar had a great day with Mr. Moore and his friend from the Make-A-Wish foundation. They were able to catch and release 2 Stripe Marlin and caught a big Dorado for dinner! They are headed out one more time with Cesar and Tantrum on Monday, let's see how they do!



Mr. Olson had another great day fishing on his new love, El Nuevo. Ramon and Juan were able to hook he and his wife into 6 Stripe Marlin, 1 Yellowfin and 2 Dorado! That's a great day if you ask me!



Omar and Jesus prove to still have the touch as they also caught and released 5 Stripe Marlin for our buddy Joe from California.

April 10th Fish Report

Mr. Olson had a killer day with Alex and Juan on El Nuevo and caught and released 2 Stripe Marlin and also caught a Tuna.

Rum Runnin took out Mr. Angelini and his wife Maria for a full day of fishing and were able to catch a release a Stripe Marlin.

ReelRum had an inshore trip and hooked into plently of Yellowtail. Believe it or not they were also able to catch 2 nice sized Dorado!! I don't want to jinx it but I think we are starting to see Dorado heading back our way. Lets cross our fingers.

Tantrum had the Boyer family on his boat this morning and what a treat they were. Mr. Boyer's son was able to catch an release 2 Stripe Marlin all on his own and catch dinner for his mom and Dad. Little Mr. Boyer also reeled in 3 nice Yellowfin to end their day with Cesar and Americo!

April 9th Fish Report

The Sunset group that finished yesterday on Rum Runnin finished their second day today aboard Rum Runnin and El Nuevo. Let's just say the boys will be taking over 100 lbs of Tuna between 4 people! They hit it hard yesterday and landed Yellowfin until about 11am. Today the group stayed out a little longer and added to yesterdays bag. They will be eating Tuna for weeks!

Reel Rum had a great day as well with Mr. Craig Christiansen and his family. They caught over 9 Yellowfin and had a Marlin on the line but heavy swells swept the Marlin under the boat and the line was cut by the propeller. It was a good thing Omar and Jesus satisfied them with the Tuna catch or else they may have been swimming back to shore!

Tantrum stayed back today for a little rest before she starts a 25 day stretch of charters!

RedBeam did well with the Tuna bit with our buddy Karl. He had his kids hooking up to Tuna all morning until the swells got a little rough and they headed back in. Mechanical problems kept them out a little longer than they wanted to but luckily everyone was alright!

Utopia Report:

Mr Merdock and his friends headed out on the beautiful 54' Hatteras for a day of fishing. Captain Cesar joined the gang as his boat was not moving today! I'm sure he was glad that he did! The group was able to catch and release 4 Stripe Marlin and also caught 9 Yellow fin Tuna! They had a fabulous time with captain Rene and "Mate" Cesar!

A slight front blew through Cabo yesterday evening that may caused some larger than normal swells but we do not expect them to be around long as the day ended with little to no wind and small to very small swells.

Time for Dinner!!

April 8th Fish Report

I know I probably sounds like I am repeating myself for the 12th time in a row but... what a great day for Stripe Marlin and Yellofin Tuna!

The day started off great when our half-day trip came back with 12 Yellowfin Tuna caught, only a handful kept and more memories to last a lifetime!! Chivo had a great time with the Sunset tour Group and was glad he could put them on the fish so quickly.

Reel Rum headed out with Maria Maloney and her husband Patrick. Jesus and Ramon were able to put the two of them on 4 Stripe Marlin. The couple was able to bring 3 of the 4 to the boat for a catch and release. One of the Stripe Marlins got off. They also caught a nice Yellowfin Tuna on their day out on the 28'.

Red Beam fishing with Mr. Scott Osborne from San Diego. Mr. Osborne had limited time to fish with us being that he came in on a cruise ship at 9am and had to be back to the ship by 3pm. Luckily he arrived early, after getting to know Scott a little bit I learned he had never caught a Billfish. I knew right away that he was on the right boat as Sal and Marshall have been Marlin machines lately. I knew the boys would take good care of him, that they did! He caught and released his first 3 Stripe Marlin ever. He also was casted, baited, and hooked his very own Stripe Marlin to make it 4 catch and releases for the day! For a guy that has never caught Marlin before you acted like you were some professional!! Great job Scott.

Cesar was back to his old ways today with the Mann family! After being a little tired from being sick a couple of weeks Cesar was the first one in the office with more energy in him than I have seen in a while. I knew he was 100% healthy when I saw Tantrum roll back in with 6 Stripe Marlin flags flying as well as 9 Tuna flags! I could barely see the Mann family on the boat with all the flags covering my view!

Alex and Juan also did very well with Mr. Ken Hunter. He and Mr. Gonzalez took out their families for a day out on the water. Half a mile outside of "Cabeza de Ballena" Juan told me that he saw 10 Stripe Marlin crashing on a bait ball that was at least an acre wide. His first attempt to toss the bait was a failure as the Mack. had a weak lip and the bait went flying off! He grabbed the next one and made sure it was on correctly, made a perfect cast and landed a nice Marlin for Mr. Hunter! They were also able to scoop up a few Yellowfin Tuna as well!

Just another all around great day for Redrum and all of its Anglers. We are thankful for everyone that came out today, all the anglers that have come out in the past and the ones that will be with us and experience fishing REDRUM style in the future!!

Saludos!
