Right around 2:00 yesterday afternoon the winds picked up and haven't really let up since. We had a few boats come back in early yesterday as the anglers were looking a bit green. So today a new destination was in order and the boats headed out to the Sea of Cortez side to get some relief from the beating of the Pacific, to some calmer seas on the other side of Baja.
We had 4 boats head out today and some new species were caught that we haven't seen in the Pacific waters lately.
Harold headed out again today this time for a quick 5 hour trip on a panga and getting into lots of sierra and tuna. He reeled in 25 sierra total and 4 yellowfin tuna on the Sea of Cortez!
Greg and his wife came down from Wasilla, Alaska to fish on ReelRum with Omar and Americo. They headed out to the Sea of Cortez as well and reeled in 5 dorados!
Scott and Andre from Alberta headed out on the RedBeam along with their 2 boys. They too headed out to the Sea of Cortez to prevent any munchkins blowing lunch on board. They reeled in 2 dorado as well.
And last but not least, the 2 couples, Tommy and Ann along with Dennis and Rachel hailing from Louisiana headed out with Javier today. After they got dropped off at the wrong location by the wonderful taxi drivers we have in Cabo, they arrived on time to get on board no problem. They are staying here in Cabo with the Stay & Play package offered by RedRum in the Portofino Condos. On their first day fishing they reeled in 2 nice sized dorados from the Sea of Cortez as well as 2 skip jacks. The question here is, where do you take your catch on a Sunday when Misiones is closed? This question I never know how to answer, especially if they aren't sushi eaters as my first response would be Arts & Sushi. So they are heading out to La Pampa, a great Argentian Steakhouse and will head to Misiones tomorrow night instead.
Now I'm off to pay more attention to my hand in pitch while my other hand on my Corona.
Salud!

Mucho Mucho Viento
Lots of wind in Cabo today, which of course made for some rough seas.
Our good buddy Dave Gapinski went out with his two buddies today. After hearing how well the guys did yesterday, Dave was not going to miss out on the action today. After a rough ride up to the Golden Gate Dave was looking a little green. The boys on Rum Runnin quickly hooked him up with a Marlin, hoping to take his mind off the seas. He was able to catch and release a nice Marlin, his first ever! The crew on Rum Runnin, Cali and Manuel, were able to hook two more, but that was all Dave could take. They were back in a hour and half, 3 Striped Marlin, catch and release.
Gerry De La Vega and his party headed out with Omar and Americo on ReelRum. No one got sick and they had a great day on the water. After catching and releasing 3 Marlin, they headed closer to shore and grabbed 3 Dorado for dinner.
Mark Durham and his crew head out with the RedBeam and grabbed 3 Dorado. They just walked out of the office with a few filets they are bringing to Misiones De Kino, Coconut Mango and Chilpialla Dorado in their future. Certainly a bit jealous.
Finally, Craig Bryan and his crew were supposed to head out with El Nuevo. The new engines we dropped in are almost done, but we just couldn't button it up in time for today's charter. Mexico. Anyway, Craig and his crew headed out with Gerry on SM7 and were able to catch and release 4 nice Striped Marlin.
Another great day on the water.

Feb. 6th
More Marlin at Golden Gate has been the common theme the last few weeks and today was no different.
Ryan, yes my husband Ryan finally got to get out of the office and take a day to go fishing. He headed out with Robert and Andrew, brothers from San Diego who've become great friends of ours. They headed to Golden Gate and reeled in 3 striped marlin out there.
ReelRum came back with a grin to grin smile from Harold hailing from West Virginia. He got out of the beautiful neck of woods where he lives and white water rafts to come down fishing with his buddy Pete from Pennsylvania whom are mutual friends of Jane and Dave! (Thanks for sending them our way Dave.) They hit up Golden Gate as well with Omar and Americo and reeled in 4 marlin up to the boat, catch and release of coure, while the fifth one got away.
RumRunnin had aboard the Hill group who headed down from southern California. No suprise that they headed out to Golden Gate as well to where the marlin seem to be boiling out there. They came back with 4 marlin flags and 4 release flags.
It sounds like I need to get out of the office and go fishing!

Update for the 4th
Today we had a bunch of boats head out, all in different directions it seemed, and with different fishing in mind.
Rum Runnin headed to Golden Gate and chased Marlin around. 3 catch and release Marlin and a Dorado for the Bastian crew and they were all smiles.
Red Beam with Marshall and Cali landed a Dorado and few small Tuna. Promising sign seeing a few Tuna being brought in. No information about there whereabouts is available at this time. We know where they are, and that's all that matters. (Just in case the other fleets are reading the report.)
Anzuelo headed out and the Henthorn party wanted nothing to do with Marlin. They were searching for Tuna and knew it could be a long day of "fishing," but stuck to their guns. Unfortunately, it did not pay off.
Omar and Americo on ReelRum stayed inshore and were able to get a few different fish from the Tuna family for their clients. No yellowfin, but a lot of fun for the Slater's.

More Marlin!
Another day of clear and sunny skies down in Cabo San Lucas. The marlin bite at Golden Gate is still very hot! The groups that headed out on the water today headed out that way and had some great fishing stories to tell.
Mike and Tami headed out again, this time with Javier and Manuel aboard RumRunnin. Their second day on the water with friends Heather and Patrick again. They were able to get 3 striped marlin to the boat. In the midst of it all, the pole broke and Manuel jimmy-rigged the line and pole to get the marlin on board. These guys were thoroughly impressed that the McGyver within Manuel didn't loose the marlin! Nice job. The topped off the day with one dorado for dinner. Tousignants and Halversons we hope to see you guys again soon. And don't forget to send in some pictures!
The second group out was the friendly bunch from Minnesota and Texas. Patrick, Diane and Charles headed out on ReelRum with the well-known crew Omar and Americo. They too headed up the Pacific side to Golden Gate where they got into some striped marlin as well. They reeled in 3 striped marlin, 1 mako shark and 1 dorado for dinner. They are headed out to Misiones de Kino, our favorite spot for them to cook it up with that coconut mango sauce or Israel's secret chilpalla sauce. yum yum. So good, that Ryan and I are going to head there for dinner tonight with some out of town friends. And with that, I hope all of you have a delicious meal as well!

Pobrecita Brookita!
Brooke's not feeling well today, over-worked and still cold from heading to Denver last week, things finally caught up with her. Sniffles and a sore throat, she's a trooper though, she'll be back and randy within a day or two. Just a little shout-out for the patient.
Jay Schmalenberg joined us today on the RedBeam. Jay brought his son and nephew out on the water for the day and they did great. The boys proved to be luckier than Jay however, each bringing in a Marlin while Jay lost 2 others that were hooked up. They also hooked up a nice Dorado for dinner.
Jack Tramuta hopped off the cruise ship at noon and jumped right onto ReelRum with Americo and Ramon. Without the necessary time to run all the way to Golden Gate, the boys fished about 4 miles off the point and had great success. Jack had always wanted to catch a Marlin and has been trying unsuccessfully for years. 30 minutes into his charter with RedRum and he was hooked up. He also brought in 3 Dorado shortly thereafter. Unfortunately for Jack (but very fortunately for the staff here at RedRum) you are not allowed to take fish back onto the cruise ship. Jack, I shall toast to you this evening, thanks for the Dorado filets.
Finally, we had the Anders party out for their final day of fishing with Javier and Manuel on Rum Runnin. While they were looking for a few more Marlin and something for dinner, it looks like cheeseburgers again. They caught and released 1 Marlin and another died during the battle, having been foul-hooked. Javier and Manuel assured the clients they would be happy to have the Marlin for dinner, so it surely did not go to waste.
Another great day.
Get well soon Brookita,
Ryan

January 31st and Feb 1st
Robert Fazio along with family and friends, Robert, James, David and Larry had a great day on the water heading out on RumRunnin to Golden Gate. They were great sports in the morning to understand having to move them from El Nuevo to RumRumrunnin due to some engine overhauling on El Nuevo. With 5 guys on board and 5 marlin brought in a can't imagine a better day on the water.
Heading out on the 1st of Feb, were 2 fun couples Patrick & Heather along with Mike & Tami. Hailing from Greenbay, I imagine they timed their vacation right to be out of the chilly weather of Wisconsin. They headed out on ReelRum with Omar and Americo and had a phenomenal day on the water. They reeled in 4 marlin and even bought themsleves a mount. Mike wrestled with a mako shark for a bit before it got away and on their way back in they did some inshore fishing where they tackled a roosterfish as well as a king mackerel. Very nice work guys. Tami and Mike, we look forward to seeing you guys on Tuesday for another bang up day on the water. Don't forget to send in your pics to our email and we'll upload them on the website!
Also heading out on the 1st was the Anders group from Tejas, taking thier winter vacation at RedRum's Stay & Play condos located at Portofino. With 3 couples in the condos they are having a fun stay so far with another day of fishing to come tomorrow. They went out on RumRunnin and headed to Golden Gate to reel in 3 nice sized striped marlin. They will also have a mounted trophy for their wall. We'll see you guys tomorrow for another day on the water!
Until tomorrow... tight lines.
