Cecilia, your breaking my heart....

Today we had our good friend Cecelia, along with 4 of her girlfriends, from Montana fishing with us. They only wanted to fish for a few hours, but they got lucky with a few Dorado and real nice Roosterfish that the girls hooked themselves! We met Cecilia a few years ago at Rips Bar and she has been back each year, always ready for another great adventure with RedRum. One of these days we will get to her neck of the woods for the Elk Hunt she has promised us.

On ReelRum, we had Harold from Pennsylvania, along with the Biro crew from Kansas had a great day on ReelRum with Ramon and Americo. They saw and hooked a bunch of marlin and were able to catch and release 2 of them.

Sorry no tales of strippers today...

Until tomorrow.

January 28th -- More Stripers!

Now I should start by saying that, yes I'm new to writing the fish report and although I won the spelling bee in 3rd grade, I tend to misspell a number of words from time to time.

As was brought to my attention yesterday, by our dear friend Louie, I've been calling what has been caught on our boats, strippers. Now this is where I pause, clearly all of you must have been getting a chuckle because we don't catch strippers in Cabo unless you are at Mermaid's or Lord Black, am I right? Based on my reports did some of you mistakenly imagine that by fishing with RedRum, magically a pole dancer would appear at the end of your rod? No pun intended. Sorry for the high hopes guys. I'm sure some of you have noticed this, but haven't said anything, thanks for being polite. So my apologies, we haven't been catching strippers, we've been catching stripers, meaning striped marlin. Which brings me to today...

Again heading out to Golden Gate is Andy and his lovely wife aboard ReelRum with Omar and Americo. The midwestern pair got out of the cold of Illinois and came down to Cabo for some nice weather. The 3 striped marlin they reeled in put up a fight.

The second crew that headed out was Diane and Chuck with Javier on RumRunnin. They too hit Golden Gate and had some success with the stipers. Reeling in 3 total it has been a wonderful vacation after purchasing a time share over at Villa Del Arco. We look forward to seeing you guys from years to come!

Signing out... Brooke
Long live stripers!

January 27th - Marlin Offshore - Sierra Inshore

With sunny skies and happy faces the boats headed out to Golden Gate this morning to what has been a continously strong stripped marlin bite.

Aboard ReelRum was the Ellison couple from Idaho, originally from southern Cal along with the Davis party 2 gentleman from central Califonia. They headed out to Golden Gate with Omar and Americo and got into some stipped marlin as well as some tuna. The Ellison couple brought in the 30 lb. yellow fin and had it fileted up for dinner at Misiones de Kino this evening, our favorite spot as many of you know.

RumRunnin also headed out to Golden Gate with the Schafer group down with a big group from California. They ideally wanted to catch dinner for the whole 15 person crew and they nailed it on their way back in from Golden Gate with about 8 sierra, they really weren't sure as they had 3 on at a time. While at Golden Gate they got into a bunch of strippers, just watching them boiling at the surface, after loosing 2 they got 2 aboard for the picture and the release.

And last but not least is the crew from Indiana aboard the RedBeam. They too headed out to Golden Gate to get some marlin. On their annual guys trip with buddies from their heating and air conditioning company they had a blast on the water. With smiles all around 2 marlin were reeled in with memories to last a lifetime.

Don't forget to send us some pictures of your day on the water guys!

I'm back! Brooke

Roosters, Marlin and Shark

Hola Hola... Another good day for RedRum Anglers, Marlin are getting a little picky about which bait looks the best but the crews that went to Golden Gate still had success. The Schultz Party on ReelRum wanted to take a shot at catching a Roosterfish, so Omar and Americo headed for the lighthouse with some extra bait and were able to nab three of them. After the Rooster bite slowed down, the Schultz's headed back out to Golden to top off the trip with 3 more Marlin.

Rum Runnin was a share boat today between the Neil and Brown parties. They had some trouble keeping fish hooked throughout the day, but were fortunate enough to bring one big Marlin to the back of the boat for pics and a close up for those who had never seen one before.

The Harpine's on the RedBeam had a great day as well. While they also lost a few Marlin along the way, they had one great big Marlin mounted as well as a really nice Dorado they kept for dinner.

Until tomorrow....

Jan 23-24

Marlin were still going crazy yesterday at Golden Gate while the bite slowed a little today. It would be hard to think that kind of bite would stay as hot as it has been. We'll see though, the Marlin could be all over the place again tomorrow. Tough to say.

Yesterday, the Shultz's aboard ReelRum caught and released 3 Marlin with Omar and Americo. Lonnie Poole and his crew brought in 6 Marlin aboard Rum Runnin with Javier and Manuel and called back to book another day after seeing the amazing action at the Bank. Finally, our friend from Texas and South Africa the Crawfords spent one last day on the water and were able to bring in and release 3 more stripes.

Today, Helmut, Brian and Brent Adam headed back out with the Rum Runnin' crew. They went in search of dinner and came up short, no Dorado to be found. After realizing the bite would be slow for Dorado they went in search of the Marlin. They were able to bring in 1 more for a total of 7 for the 2 days. Good stuff guys, and thanks again for taking us out to dinner. Really enjoyed hosting you guys. Looks like you have Helmut's Cristmas gift picked out for the next few years.

Finally, the Vanzile crew spent today inshore after catching their share of Marlin and Dorado the past few trips. Today they managed to catch about 18 Spanish Mackeral or Sierra as we call them, releasing half and keeping the rest for dinner. They were also able to land 3 Roosterfish. Great meeting you guys and look forward to seeing you guys and a few of your friends from Brewski's next year.

To the crew at Brewski's....

RedRum Sportfishing in Cabo San Lucas wanted to give you guys a special shout out. JC, Philly, Stan, Booby Z, Mike, Amy, and Sam in particular. Your boys down in Cabo, have been killing it the last few days. 5 Marlin and 2 dorado each of the two days they went offshore. And then today they tried a little inshore fishing. 9 Spanish Mackeral and 3 Roosterfish later and we are ready to send these guys home.

Final trip statistics:
4 guys, 8 cases of beer, 5 bottles of booze, 10 Marlin, 4 Dorado, 9 Spanish Mackeral, and 3 Roosterfish, 1 case of Montezuma's Revenge, and finally 1 case of a birthday boy just too tuckered out to even make it to his own birthday dinner. Let's hope the Brewski's crew can give him some proper sh*t for that when he gets back home.

Ahhh hamburgers, love Butters!

Golden is Golden

Brian and Brent Adam, my good friends from Wisconsin, bought their dad a fishing getaway for Christmas, and today Helmut Adam cashed in. The boys were a little confused why we didn't need to drill through 18 inches of ice before we started fishing but they caught on quickly. They hooked in 6 Marlin, bringing 5 to the boat. On the way back they were nice enough to catch a Dorado for dinner for all of us.

The Vanzile boys also caught and released their share of Marlin today, and were also lucky enough to grab a Dorado for dinner. Looks like it will be a busy night at Missiones de Kino.

Finally, the Quinn party from Massachusetts, had a great day on the RedBeam bringing 3 marlin to the boat for photos and a release.

Until tomorrow....
