July 6th Fish Report

Another good day of fishing for the REDRUM anglers!!

Todays fish Report:

Reel Rum was the first boat back today probably due to the fact that Omar tired the Lafferty's out. Mr. and Mrs. Lafferty had a great day fishing with Omar and Americo, 3 very nice Dorado, a Sailfish and a Stripe Marlin. Both Billfish were released. Great job!!

Kandee Baird and Mr. Mathews had a good time fishing with Marshall and Manuel on Tantrum today. They were able to catch and release a nice Stripe Marlin and hook into a couple of nice Dorado as well. Man, its great to see the Dorado bite picking up again!

Mr. and Mrs. Scott fished on El Nuevo today with Ramon and Juan and had a fabulous time!! Mrs. Scott caught and released a 140 pound, 100" Stripe Marlin while Mr. Scott took care of the Dorado and the nice Mako Shark!!

Hopefully the fishing will keep up and we will keep tiring our anglers out!

'Til tomorrow...

4th of July Weekend Report

Happy 4th of July Weekend to all around the states! Drink a cold one for us here in Mexico although we managed to get by with a pretty good 4th of July bash.. mexican style!

It's been some time since I have posted a report. I can blame that on a couple weeks of vacation back home to Texas, got to do some Gulf Coast fishing in South Padre Island and had a blast catching Red drum, or should I say REDRUM!! As well as trout, snook, and flounder.

I must say, none of that compares to comming down to Cabo and catching Marlin! That's for sure!!

With the Port being closed yesterday due to foul weather the fishing today was pretty strong.

El Nuevo fished with the Bosma party from Texas and were able to hook into a nice Stripe Marlin. The Texas group fished with Ramon and Juan as Alex is taking his vacation with his
family.

Rum Runnin had an excellent day with Mr. Weishuhn and his 2 sons, Jacob and Ross. They were able to start the day off catching 3 nice sized Yellowfin Tuna, all over 25 pounds. They ended their day with Javier and Americo reeling in a nice Stripe Marlin. Great job guys.

Tantrum caught and released a Stripe Marlin. Ms. Kandee Baird and crew showed up a little tired from last nights events but were still able to put up an excellent fight against a nice Stripe Marlin! Great job guys.

RedBeam had a great day as well. Manuel and Manuel were able to catch and release a Stripe Marlin and boated a beautiful bull Dorado! Great job guys.

Hopefully I can start posting a report daily. Of course that is up to the anglers!! You catch the fish and I will write about it!

Saludos to all those who have served our country in the past and present and to all over seas!!

June 17th Fish Report

For the first time in a couple of weeks I was able to walk into the Redrum office without noticing strong winds. That is a good sign for fishing as the temperature in the air seemed almost perfect for heading out. Still and almost warm, when the sun is still down that's a pretty good combo!

Todays Report:

Mike O'Malley headed out with his 3 friends and their sons. The group fished El Nuevo with Alex and Ramon as well as Red Beam with Manuel. Alex had the lucky touch today as he was able to catch and release 4 Stripe Marlin with his half of the group. Each angler on board got to reel in a Marlin and also help eachother out on all the others. Great job guys!

Javier and Americo fished with our new buddy Joe Bonjorno, if you guys want to meet someone with an intense passion for fishing look up Mr. Bonjorno. Not only does he have a great passion along with a hilarious sense of humor but he also bring good luck with him. Yesterday he fished with Omar and Jesus and caught and release 2 Stripe Marlin and was able to boat 2 Dorado for dinner! Today, he and his buddy Scott Boyer were able to Catch and Release 3 Stripers. Two of them Joe spotted himself! They get the day off tomorrow and come back for 2 more days with Javier and Rum Runnin on Thursday and Friday. We'll see how they do. "The bar has been set" boys!!

Omar and Jesus also had a good day fishing with Mr. Dick Washeback and family. They started off with a few technical problems and had to come back to the dock so Omar could fix the boat. They were patient and thier patience paid off. After heading back out Mr. Washbeck and his son were able to Catch and Release 2 Stripe Marlin!! Thanks for being so understandable guys and great job!

The wind seemed to have picked up a little later in the afternoon but it seems like it doesn't have as much fight as last week. Let's keep our fingers crossed that the fishing continues to get better as we lead up to the exciting Summer months in Cabo!!

Tight Lines,

Luis

June 13th Fish Report

Strong winds continued to blow today which made reading water temperatures in the morning a little frusterating for us! We managed to be alright as the skill and intuitions of our captains put them on some fish today.

Harold O'Dell and his group came back in the office this morning after leaving yesterday from a slow day on El Nuevo. He was happy about his results today as they caught 4 nice Yellowfin Tuna and were excited about heading back to the villa to prepare the fish.

Our long time Redrum angler Chris Corell headed out with his buddy Javier on Rum Runnin today for a half-day of inshore fishing. Chris Jr. and his brother had a great time catching Yellowtail Tuna and Bonita. Chris was glad that his boys got to see some action on the boat. Chris will be heading out again on the 16th in hopes of hooking into a Marlin!

Mr. and Mrs. Bobby Bretlinger from Mansfield, TX had a blast on Tantrum today. Bobby told me at the end of the day that he spent most of his time on the boat trying to explain to Cesar and Ramon bay fishing. Being from Texas, Bobby does a lot of Redfishing in South Padre Island. Cesar was in shock that there was actually another way of fishing!! Being from Texas myself I told Bobby he was going to be out of luck if trying to get these guys into bayfishing! Bobby caught and released a nice 107" Stripe Marlin with Cesar and Ramon.

Jessica Myers sent her boys out on Red Beam. They had a good time with Manuel and got into 1 Dorado. The day seemed pretty slow for the guys but nothing beats a day better than being on the water with family and friends.
TGIF!

Tuesday June 6th Fish Report

A cloud cover that seemed to have lasted all throughout the morning and into the early afternoon did not stop Redrum anglers from catching fish today!!

The Lenchanko family had a great time fishing on Tantrum with Ramon and Kili. They were able to catch a beautiful Stripe Marlin approximately 100" long. The other catch on the boat just happend to be a Dorado that measured 60"!! That is an excellent catch, a huge catch and you deserve all the congratulations!!! Nice Bull Dorado! It was a pleasure having the family fish with us again and we can't wait to get you guys out next time.

Cheryl Small from Pompano Beach, FL and her family have pretty much fished ALL OVER THE WORLD. The only spot they have not been has been Cabo. Now we can say that Cabo is the only spot they have done well! After trying for large game in places like Hawaii, Bahamas, Cancun etc.. they have always seem to have a tough time catching Marlin. Alex and Juan showed them what fishing was like, Redrum style! From nailing bait fish right on the top of the Marlins head during his cast, to wrestling the fish to the boat the boys worked the hardest they ever have to show the Smalls what they have been missing! We are glad that everyone had a good time and look foward to your next "rodeo" with Redrum!!

Reel Rum and Rum Runnin headed back in early today due to rough winds but were still able to catch and release 2 Stripe Marlin each. The McLaughlins on Reel Rum and the Hills on Rum Runnin! We hope you had a great time with Redrum.

Go Celts!!!!

June 9th Fish Report

With consistenly strong winds still moving in from the Pacific side, Sea of Cortez has been the "hot spot" for Redrum anglers and boats.

Today Alex headed out with Ramon and the Nelson Family. Mr. Nelson wnated to see nothing more than his son catch a Marlin. Alex made it happen. Little Mr. Nelson had a great time catching and releasing nice Stripe Marlin as did his father and the rest of the Nelson family.

Nancy Ince and the Goldman sisters headed out on Rum Runnin and caught a huge, 104" Stripe Marlin and were able to release it. They were also able to catch a 96" one. They will have one more day of fishing with Javier and Americo to try to catch a larger Marlin for a replica.

Mr. and Mrs. Wilson fished on Red Beam this morning and were able to catch a nice Stripe Marlin as well as a large Dorado. They will also have a day 2 of fishing, next time on Tantrum with Cesar.

Our pal Eric fished on Tantrum today and pulled in a couple too many Torro fish or, "African Tuna" as Cesar calls them. He was also able to catch and release a Stripe Marlin. Fittingly, he also has another day of fishing with Cesar on Wednesday.

Although it is a little windy still, the fishing is good. We expect the winds to die down within the near future and the big Dorado bite to finally pick back up again!

End May on a Great Note!!!

It is a good feeling to have 2 great days of fishing back to back! Although the winds are howling now it was dead calm all day.

Krista and Brit Balant were all set to fish on Reel Rum this morning. One problem, Omar could not figure out his live-well wasn't pumping water through it. Omar did not want to have to take his clients out if he could not assure live bait. With quick thinking he said "why don't I take Tantrum, Cesar doesn't have a charter today". Now, whether Omar just wanted to take Tantrum out or he was really having problems with his live well, we'll never know!! Anyways, it turned out to be a great day for the Balants as they were able to catch and release 5 Stripe Marlin and back a little before 2:00pm. We can't let Omar get used to Tantrum now!!

Javier had an excellent day himself fishing with Americo and the Budneys. After a little mishap on the boat and loosing a rod and reel the team quickly got back in the game and together Team Rum Runnin reeled in 4 Stripe Marlin. Three of the Marlin were able to be released. Great day!!

NHL star, Andy Sutton fished on El Nuevo this morning with his father. They headed out with Alex and Marshall and were able to catch and release 2 Stripe Marlin to start their day off. One of the Stripes put up a heck of a fight Andy told me while showing pictures of a Monster Stripe. To bring their excellent day to an end, they were able to catch a massive Pacific Sailfish. The pictures I saw looked like it weighed well over 115 pounds! Great Job, nice meeting you guys. Good Luck to you Andy.

Time to start looking foward to the great fishing in June...and the heat!!!
