ReelRum was the first boat to get back today, and unfortunately it was not under it's own power. Richard and Kristen Snell, along with Chris Cordova headed out this morning with Americo and Manuel on ReelRum looking for some Dorado and Marlin. The day looked to be very promising from the start with 5 or 6 Marlin spotted before 7:30am. Manuel pitched a live bait to one of the Marlin and got him hooked up and the first battle was on. After releasing the Marlin, Manuel stitched up a bait and they were then lucky enough to bring in a very nice Dorado. Marlin and Dorado before 8:30am and things were looking good. That's when the bad luck hit and Americo had a problem with the engine. Not wanting to chance running the boat anymore he quickly called in for help. I want to first thank, Richard, Kristin and Chris for their understanding of the situation. As with most problems on boats, as is the nature of the beast, you encounter the problems out on the water.
Americo and Manuel did a great job explaining the problem and assuring the clients that help was on the way. However, just because a boat can't move doesn't mean it can't fish right? Manuel quickly rigged the new kite fishing rig we put on the boat and sent it up into the air with two live bait floating off in the distance. Sure enough another Marlin hit and the fight was on. Marshall from the Red Beam arrived a short time later and Kristin jumped on board the Beam, rod and all. Marshall and Kristin chased and fought the big Marlin which the boys estimated at close to 200lbs.
All in all, while there were problems, they had a great day on the water and after we make some repairs tomorrow, they will head back out on Tuesday to reap the few hours they were forced to leave on the water today.
Karma is a powerful thing, and you have to love when good things come our way!

Some to mount, some to eat, plenty of it all with RedRum!
Cory and his wife Magen from Salt Lake City, Utah were back at the Marina by 10am proudly displaying a Marlin and a catch and release flag. Being from Utah their fishing experience comprised of mostly Trout so they were thrilled to catch their first Marlin in Cabo. They fished with Marcial and Fabian on our 32’ RedBeam about four miles from the Marina on the sea of Cortez and caught their striper using live bait.
Danny and his son Josh from North Carolina went out for the fourth time this week, talk about some serious fishermen. They stayed inshore today on our 28’ ReelRum and caught 3 Red Snapper and 15 Triggerfish with the help of captain Omar and mate Americo. They used live bait to catch their dinner just off of the lighthouse on the Pacific side. It was their first time in Cabo and they said that they’ll definitely be back.
Out for the third time this week, our friends from Louisiana, Ed and Rob caught and released 2 Marlin and brought back 2 Dorado, all before noon. The first Marlin weighed 180 pounds and the second came in at 140 pounds. The Dorado’s were nice sized as well measuring 59” and 47”.
Robert from Fort Worth, Texas was the first one to arrive this morning and the last angler back. He’s been fishing in Cancun before but it was his first time in Cabo and he was after a Marlin. We set him up with Captain Javier and mate Manuel on our 32’ RumRunnin and Rob did not come back disappointed. They ventured over to point 95 on the sea of Cortez where they picked up a Hammerhead shark with our kite that ended up breaking the line. Then using live bait, Rob reeled in his Marlin and a Dorado as well. Nicely done!

A full day
Michael and Maryann from Bend, Oregon went out on our 32’ RedBeam today with captain “El Ta Ta” and mate Fabian. They caught and released 5 Roosterfish, and brought back a Dorado, 3 Bonita and 5 Sierra, all caught in the sea of Cortez. It was a great day for them. They loved the boat, they loved the crew and said it was the best fishing trip they’d ever been on and would never fish anywhere else again. Now that’s what we like to hear when our clients come back.
Danny and his son Josh went out on our 28’ ReelRum will Omar and Americo and caught and released 2 Marlin using a combination of live bait and lures. Josh also caught and released a Hammerhead shark using our kite and a Dorado using live bait as well. They went out twice on Panga’s this week for inshore fishing and will be back for more offshore fishing tomorrow. What pro’s!
Matt and Scott from San Diego, CA went out on our 32’ RumRunnin and caught 2 Marlin on the sea of Cortez with captain Ulises and mate Mickey. The Marlin weighed between 140-150 pounds and measured roughly 100 inches long. They used both live and dead bait. They saw a lot of fish out on the water and hooked up twelve times…they had quite the fight.
Out for the second day in a row was the Watson group of friends from Louisiana. They went out on our 33’ El Nuevo and caught and released a Marlin and brought back Sierra and Yellowtail for dinner. Great job guys!

Marlin/Dorado Pattern
Out on our 32’ RedBeam captained by Marcial and mate Fabian, was the Mariano couple. When they came in this morning the wife said she was going to catch the bigger fish of the day and she was right. She caught and released a 165 pound Marlin and her husband caught a nice sized Dorado. They fished the sea of Cortez right by Santa Maria bay where water temperatures were at 78 degrees.
Sharon and her husband went out on our 28’ ReedRum with captain Omar and mate Americo. They used live bait to catch 2 Marlin by Chileno bay in the sea of Cortez. Their fish weighed 150-170 pounds and it was the first time they visited Cabo and first time catching Marlin.
We found two groups to share our 32’ RumRunnin today captained by Javier and his mate Manuel. They caught a forty pound Dorado using a lure and a striped Marlin using live bait.
Bruce and Karlene fished with us today on a Panga and caught 4 Roosterfish, 5 Yellowtail and 5 Sierra on the sea of Cortez, also in front if Santa Marian bay. The couple fished with us a few days ago and caught a Marlin but came back for some dinner.
Joel and four of his friends from Louisiana are in Cabo this week staying at our Portofino condos. They went out fishing on our 33’ El Nuevo for the first time this week and caught and released a Marlin and a Dorado. They almost got a second Marlin using a kite but it got away.
