April 28th Fish Report

After a few days of battling with Stripe Marlin to try to get them to take the bait the Redrum fleet did a heack of a job putting their anglers to work today!

We will start off with Aimee Reichlin and Geoff Hitchman. They headed out with Manuel and Marshall on Red Beam today. They ended the day with 2 Stripe Marlin, one hit a dead "stitch" bait sewn up by Marshall. Geoff took the first one, Aimee took care of the second one landed by a live bait tossed by Manuel. Hers took almost an hour to reel in. We won't say who's Marlin was bigger.... Yes we will!!! Aimee brought in her Marlin and it was almost 10" larger than Geoff!! Got shot Aimee. (Sorry Geoff I had to do it buddy!)

Dennis Eckstrom and his gang of 2 headed out on ReelRum. Orignially they were booked on Tantrum but after some problems with her starter in the morning we thought it may be a better idea to put them on with Reel Rum. Omar and Jesus could not have been more excited. They were itching to fish for Marlin and Marlin is what they the Eckstrom were looking for! They were fortunate to catch "2 nice ones" according to Dennis. He complimented on how hard the boys tried and gave them all the credit for landing the fish.

Luke Humphreys headed out on Rum Runnin and after having a long day yesterday only spotting a few Marlin today they got their chance and finally landed a nice Stripe Marlin! Javier worked very hard to land the fish and he is glad that the Humphreys got their Marlin in! Congrats on the fish and we look foward to working with you in the future!

TGIF Fish Report!

Jim Donovan had his last day on his brothers boats today and did the best they had done all week. Today he headed out with Javier and Americo on Rum Runnin. After spotting Marlin all week and having a difficult getting them to take the bait, one finally hooked in to the live bait!
Jim's friend Mason was able to reel the fish up to the boat and get it back in the water after a quick snapshot! Great job. They were also able to catch 6 Yellowfin and 4 Dorado. It was excellent having you guys down here.

The Edmiston party headed out on the RedBeam and caught 10 Yellowfin Tuna. Manuel, Javiers old mate, is now the Captain of Red Beam was we thought it was about time for a promotion for Manuel. He has been doing a great job since starting with Redrum and like all hard workers needed to be credited for his work. Congrats Manuel!

Jeff Ramsey from Nashville TN, fished the first of his 2 days with us on Reel Rum. He headed out with Omar in looks for the billfish but came up short and instead had the time of his life catching Yellowfin and Dorado. Sometimes life can be tough huh?!?!

Jonathan Fykes and his 2 pals fished along wtih Cesar on Tantrum and caught non stop Tuna for about 2 hours. They reeled in a nice 40+ pound boy that made the day well worth it! Cesar was also able to put them on a couple of Dorado as well.

With May around the corner we hope the fishing continues to be as solid as it has been for us the past couple of weeks. It has been a pleasure fishing with everyone and we cannot wait for you guys to come back and see us.

Saludos,

Luis
Team Redrum

April 24th Fish Report

Kerry Brown brought his group of friends down from TX and rented out El Nuevo and Rum Runnin for a couple of half-day charters. 5 hours is all they needed to tire them out from catching too many Tuna! Both boat filled their coolers with the Yellowfin before 11:00am and were back to the docks before noon!

Robert Rusnack had another great day fishing with Omar and Jesus on Reel Rum as he bagged a couple of Tuna, one Dorado and had a shot at a Marlin but the fish spit the hook! Hey, it happens!!

The Andersons headed out with Cesar again and absolutely tore it up! They had a great time reeling in Tuna and Dorado all day with Cesar! I have a feeling they will be eating fish for a long long time back home in Montana. Very nice meeting you guys, great job fishing this week!

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.

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.

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.
