Matt, Damon (two different people, though yes, we cater to movie stars) and a few friends ventured out on our 32' RedBeam today in search of adventure and came across a specie new to this area, the giant Calamarlin. This new creature is stealing the spotlight of our precious Marlin. Its a relationship of awe and angst, given the size of the beast (taller than you and me combined!) and its ability to satisfy the hunger of a Marlin.
Cousin species with the native Calamar (squid), town folk believe this mutation ocurred as a result of too many locals and tourists alike tossing pork into our bay. These beasts are so scary looking that a Mako shark swimming nearby jumped onto Matt and Damon's boat pleading for help.
On other news, airlines are loosing their minds, basically giving away great deals. Book that flight someone else just cancelled....now $100 bucks cheaper!

Wahoo... BIG Wahoo
Warm warm water usually means Wahoo in our neck of the woods and today was no exception. With water ranging from 72-80 in and around Cabo, the boys were excited to get on the water this morning.
Alex and Ramon on El Nuevo hosted our good friend Alan Bryan, his new fiance Monica (congratulations!!!,) as well as his parents Kathy and Jim and his sister and brother in law Abby and Jeremy. The Bryan party had a few Dorado hook-ups throughout the day, none of which amounted to anything. A few Marlin were spotted by the crew, but no hook-ups. When it looked like a skunk the lucky lure they had out was slammed by a monster Wahoo. When they got the fish to the boat, Ramon the mate, estimated the fish to be 65-70lbs. Looks like the Bryan's will have some nice fillets for the rest of their stay. Congrats guys!
On ReelRum we had Josh Smith, Eric Gusinsky, and Paul LeCroy. Down from the Seattle area these Seahawks fans were not picky about what they wanted to catch today. The only request this morning, "tight lines." Well that would not be a problem it seemed. Two tuna early this morning, followed by 2 big Dorado. Unfortunately, while tight lines were not a problem, the fuel line was. A hose came loose on the ride home and the boat lost a good amount of diesel fuel. Making the best of a bad situation, Americo immediately put two lines in the water. As luck would have it, they were able to catch a Hammerhead and a Blue shark while Omar fixed the fuel line issue.
Great day for RedRum Anglers. Congrats to all.

How did the ladies do?
This morning we had the mother/daughter team of Jolene and Kirstie Scott. Alex and Marshall on El Nuevo RedRum got the call, and Tuna was the desired species. If you have been following along Alex has been a Tuna machine the last few days bringing in over 30 keeper Yellowfin. Unfortunately, the 3rd time was not a charm for the El Nuevo crew. Alex headed back out to the Pacific in search of the large school he had located and fished the previous two days. As they often do, the Tuna had disappeared, which was a total bummer as the ladies were really looking forward to some fresh Yellowfin for a nice sushi dinner. The day was not a complete loss as late in the day the boys saw a finning Marlin and they were able to entice a bite. A battle ensued and the ladies got to pull on and catch and release a nice Striped Marlin. "That's hard work," stated Jolene. "I know why sushi is so expensive," replied her daughter Kirstie. All in all, they said they had a blast and really enjoyed their day on the water. Hopefully next time we can get that big Yellowfin hooked up and sashimied for you.
Nevermind the swine!

Mas Tuna
Hola amigos,
Today we had two boats heading out. Would have been 4, but we had a few cancellations due to the Swine Flu. Much too big a deal, in our opinion, has been made. The flu is treatable and not as dangerous as once thought. Stop slamming Mexico!
Dave Sylvia headed out with Omar and Americo and they had a plan in place. Americo told me yesterday how he had 14 different Marlin strikes and they were headed back to the same place as yesterday on the Sea of Cortez. As luck would have it, the Marlin disappeared. They did hook a shark that Dave fought for a few minutes, unfortunately, it spit the hook. We'll get you hooked up next time Dave!
Alex and Ramon on El Nuevo played host to the Monks group again. For their final day of fishing. The boys still had room in their coolers so, Mike, Lee, Scott, Dino, Billy, and Mark wanted to head for the Yellowfin school they found yesterday. They boys got lucky again today and found the school early this morning. By the end of the day they had 20 Yellowfin on board. Jorge and Rene are busy on the vacuum packer right now, and will be for the forseeable future. Great trip for the guys and we really enjoyed having you guys down. See you next year!
Hasta Manana!

Beers flowing and fish biting
It’s beautiful, sunny and warm Sunday in Cabo sitting at about 90 degrees Fahrenheit in the air and about 76 degrees in the water. The bite has been good these last few days with marlin and tuna ever present.
Robert and his wife Viki from Palm Desert, California headed out with Omar and Americo on ReelRum. We met them at the Fred Hall Show down in Long Beach. Viki wasn’t sure if she wanted to be out on the water as she hadn’t been fishing in about 20 years. After John talked to her about one of our great Mate’s Americo, she was convinced that he was her man to walk her through the whole fishing process. They headed out about 28-29 miles on the Sea of Cortez where they were able to catch and release 3 Striped Marlin. They also got a hold of about a 20 pound Yellow fin tuna that is currently getting prepared for their sushi lunch! I’m glad you guys had a good time; we look forward to seeing some pictures.
Mike Monks, Lee Hutchins, Scott Reich, Dino Camino, Billy Uhler and Mark Bowers from Maryland headed out on El Nuevo today. They are no spring chickens to Cabo, they come down often and fish hard for the time they are here. This is day 4 for them on the water. With 2 cases of beer on board, they checked in a bit late this morning and headed out with Alex on El Nuevo. They headed out to the Pacific side and were on the search for tuna. They hit it big when they got into some porpoise and landed 10 nice Yellow Fin Tuna. They'll be taking most of it back to the states with them all nicely vacuum sealed. We'll see you guys again tomorrow.
Thanks for checking in!
