June 21st – Happy Father’s Day
Another sunny cloudless day in Cabo. Many people are enjoying their day off to celebrate Father’s Day with family and friends here and I’m sure everywhere. There was a lucky few that decided to spend that day on the water. The temperature in Cabo is sitting at about 93 degrees Fahrenheit with a SSE wind of about 12 mph.
The first boat back was ReelRum with Americo and Slim (Omar had the day off) with a crew from Scottsdale on board. Jeremy Grogan, Lyndsey Rupert along with Father Daughter Duo, Pat and Chrystal. They headed out to the Sea of Cortez and had a good morning on the water. They came back a bit earlier than normal but Chrystal was able to reel in her first ever Striped Marlin.
El Nuevo came back early and had nothing… The Schwarzlose party was diminished significantly this morning with only two of the original six going fishing today. The guys decided a half day was enough, and without much luck they came back without any flags flying.
Paul Spann, Grant McLay and Ross Mclay went fishing today for the fourth time in four days and had another great day. They caught one Marlin, which unfortunately would not have survived, one nice Dorado and one Yellowfin Tuna. These guys were rewarded with great fishing during their four charters and have a few coolers of fillets to show for it!
Pat Boehmer was lucky enough to fish with his daughter Carly today and they had a great Father’s Day on the water. Muneca and Tata on the Red Beam were able to hook them into a nice Dorado. Father’s day dinner should be great with that Dorado!
Jason Mensik, Doug and Bill Wilkerson, Jared Currey, Aaron Greene and Jacob Lee headed out on Rum Runnin today with Javier and Manuel. They headed back towards the 95 bank, and got into some big Dorado. Two of the four Dorado they caught weighed more than 45lbs, and two others around 25lbs were brought in. Glad you guys had a great day. Felicidades, to the Groom.

A Man's Perfect Day
The sun is out at 91 degrees Fahrenheit and the breeze is flowing east south east at about 13 mph through Cabo today. All the boats headed out to the Sea of Cortez to avoid the wind on the Pacific side. Jerry, Allen, Blaine and Thomas from Corpus Christi, Texas went out on our 33’ El Nuevo again today with Captain Alex and Mate Ramon. These guys are enjoying their stay at the Portofino Condos with the Stay & Play Package they purchased through CCA Texas. Fishing out in the Sea of Cortez and catching and releasing one Striped Marlin. They head back tomorrow but will hopefully be back to see us.
Virgins to Cabo until now, the friendly couple Eric and Kelly Huszar headed out on ReelRum with Omar and Americo. Hailing all the way from Edgewater, Maryland they are enjoying their time in Cabo. They reeled in 2 dorado and 4 Jack Cravelle. Kelly put it best when she said, “I understand what people mean when they say, it’s not if I’ll come back, but when!” They took a few fillets and headed down to Mango Cantina for some fresh fish tacos and Dorado fingers. We hope to see you back.
Aboard RumRunnin was a wild crew. I know personally because it was my husband Ryan, one of his best buddies, Mark Boone from TCU who is in town visiting, along with some friends from down here, Marshall, Ash, Leon and Rueben. After tearing up the town of Cabo last night, the crew of 6 miraculously arrived to go fishing at 6:30 am. With Chivo and Mickey as their crew, they headed out to the Sea of Cortez between the 95 and Gordo Banks. Although they came in early from fishing to make their 2:30 tee time, they still caught dinner! Boone managed to reel in a 40 lb. Dorado, which will be sitting on a platter for all of us at dinner at Misiones de Kino this evening, our favorite spot. Along with the Dorado, they had 2 Jack Cravelles and 2 Bonitas, all caught on live bait, caballito. It’s a non-stop day for these guys, fishing and golfing and drinking, oh my. A man's perfect day, right?
Back on the water for day 3, these guys just can’t get enough! Paul, Grant and Ross are on a fishing bender. Today they headed out with Marcial and Muneco aboard RedBeam. They came back with a nice Wahoo and a Striper. They booked another boat for tomorrow and the freezer is full of their fish. We’ll see you all tomorrow.
Happy Father’s Day Weekend!

Busy Day!
Out on our 28’ ReelRum with Captain Omar and mate Americo were Cosmo and Jon from Portland, Oregon with their two young boys. At around 10:30 am one of the boys reeled in a Striped Marlin weighing approximately 125 pounds, catch and release, using a blue and white lure. They were twenty five miles offshore on the sea of Cortez by Chileno bay where the water temperature was at seventy seven degrees.
Out on our 32’ RumRunnin were Jonathan and his brother and his two young kids Joshua and Jessica. They fished inshore close to Chileno bay and caught 3 Roosterfish and 1 Jack. Water temperature at that spot was close to seventy four degrees.
Paul, Grant and Ross from New Zealand went out on our 32’ RedBeam with Captain Marcial and mate Fabian. They caught 2 Tuna using lures and fought a Marlin and 2 Dorado that unfortunately got away. The action occurred at around 11:30am on the sea of Cortez in between point 1150 and 95.
Another bachelor party came through our doors today with Beau celebrating with four of his friends from California. They went out on our 33’ El Nuevo with Captain Marcial and mate Ramon and fished ten miles from the shoreline. They caught 1 Dorado using a green and white lure at point 95 on the sea of Cortez where water temperature was at eighty three degrees. They fought 2 Wahoo and another Dorado and saw plenty of Marlin that just didn’t want to bite.
Out on one of our partner boats were Ted and his son Daniel from Catalina Island, California and Tara and Josh from Destin, Florida. Fishing on the sea of Cortez they caught 2 Dorado, one of which Daniel reeled in, and 2 Tuna.

Wacky Wahoo Wednesday
Horrible name for the post, I know, but it has been a long week and it is only Wednesday. Good buddy Mark Boone is coming down to do some fishing from Texas this weekend and I can take solace in the fact that the rest of the week will involve good fun and plenty of beverages.
Will and Todd, along with their wives were the first ones back today after their half-day charter. They saw a ton of fish, but were only able to bring in 1 Catch and Release Marlin. The fishing is certainly, "patchy" as one client described it, with some boats just getting luckier than others. Glad you guys were able to get one big fish to the boat. Hope to see you back soon.
Next up was the McLain crew. Doug and Mark were excited about taking their sons out for a day on the water, but thought a half-day would best suit them. Captain Marshall asked them first thing this morning what they wanted their day to entail and the first thing Mark said was he wanted something for the dinner table. Marshall headed off in pursuit of a Dorado and/or Tuna, but as they got closer to the fishing grounds the swells picked up a bit. Marshall decided to head closer to shore to troll live bait for a Dorado, and he was able to get them hooked up to a nice fish. Doug and Mark felt it had taken far too long to get the Dorado and they remarked that they wanted the young boys to do some fishing, with poles in their hands. Marshall rigged up the poles for bottom fishing and they were able to catch several different bottom species including Rock Snapper and Triggerfish. All in all, Mark and Doug felt that Marshall spent too much time getting them a fish for dinner, and not enough time fishing with the kids. They were not happy with their charter and they came back to let me know. (No one will ever accuse us of not being honest with our fish report. Oh well, I feel like Marshall did a great job and feel like we did our best here at RedRum.)
Robert Bomkessel headed out with Omar on ReelRum and while they had a bit of a slow day, they had a good time. Omar too, had trouble getting the fish to bite for him today, but he was able to get one nice Tuna for the guys to enjoy for dinner.
Dianne Carlilse, who was part of the Roberts wedding group last week, didn't get enough action the two days she fished last week. They booked another charter with us today to try to match the success of their first day fishing last week on El Nuevo. They came back to the office after the charter to let us know the crew did a fabulous job and to buy a few flags commemorating their different catches during the past two weeks. Today they caught a nice big Dorado to enjoy this evening.
Finally, our good friends from Fort Worth, Texas, Wayne and Sandra Bordner were back again today to finish up their second of two fishing days. Wayne and Sandra won the mixed bag prize today with a phenominal day with Javier and Ulyses. After losing 2 Marlin that had spit the hook, they brought in 2 Yellowfin, a Dorado, and a nice size Wahoo. That's right, a Wahoo, you lucky dogs you! Wahoo for the Bordners tonight, Ramen Noodles for the Donovan's. No worries, you can leave a filet of Wahoo with us next time you come down.
Thanks to all my guys today, they worked hard to put the customers on the fish and I know they will be back tomorrow to do the same.
Adios,
Ryan

Tuesday's Report
Jerry and Kristi Branum were back for day two of their adventure and after giving Jerry some sea sickness medicine he had a much better day on the water. The caught a beautiful Marlin which they had mounted to proudly display back home in Arp, Texas. Nice meeting you guys and send in some pics so we can get them on the website. Look forward to seeing you guys again soon, maybe next time at our condos through the Play and Stay Package.
Alan and Ron, two buddies from Kentucky had an interesting day on the water with Javier and Manuel today. The guys got lucky right of the start and hooked into a nice Marlin which Ron successfully caught and released. Next up was a small school of Tuna, and they were able to take 4 good size fish (which they thought they would be enjoying for dinner.) Upon returning to the Marina, they were stopped by the authorities who wanted to know why we hadn't brought the fish to the cleaning station. Javier, kindly told them that the fish were caught in the morning and would have gone bad if we had waited until the end of the day before we cleaned them. The whole story sounded fishy, seems like the "authorities" may have wanted some Tuna for themselves. This is the first time in over two years that they have boarded any boats, checking for limits or cleaned fish. Personally, I would much rather see these guys spending their time (and stealing fish) from folks that went over their limit everyday. Nonetheless, we sent Alan, Ron and their spouses for a nice dinner at Misiones de Kino on our dime to make up for the problem and they came back today to let me know how much they appreciated it. Sometimes there isn't much we can do about the occasional rougue ambush from the authorities.
Phil Cammarano along with his wife and daughter, Barbara and Emily had a great day on the RedBeam with Marshall. They caught 3 nice sized Dorado's.
David Daray, along with the Hoffman brother clan made up of Frank, Greg and Mark had a great day as well. These guys fished El Nuevo with Alex and Ramon and were able to catch and release two nice Striped Marlin and one monster 60+ lb Dorado that they enjoyed for dinner.

Dorado Day
Two charters today, ReelRum and RumRunnin. Water and weather in Cabo were nice and warm. Fish are still very close to the Marina, only a mile or so outside towards the Sea of Cortez.
Javier and Manuel, aboard Rum Runnin, had guests Wayne and Sandra Bordner today. Having fished in Cabo before they claimed to be all set with catching Marlin and they wanted something to bring home and put on the grill. Javier and Manuel had seen quite a few Dorado in the past few days, so they decided to slow troll some live bait Caballito's to try to entice a strike. As luck would have it, their first strike was a Marlin. After catching and releasing the Marlin, they were able to bring in 3 nice Dorado and will be enjoying their catch at our favorite restaurant, Missiones De Kino. The Bordners had so much fun today, they will be back Wednesday to try to re-enact the success of today.
Jerry and Krista Branum fished with Omar and Americo today aboard ReelRum. I was shocked to see ReelRum come back to the Marina early, around 11:30am. My first thought was that someone might have been seasick, which would be odd seeing how the waters have been very calm lately. After talking with the boys, they said they had a few strikes but weren't having much luck and the Branum's decided that today was not their day. Hopefully tomorrow the fish will be a little more cooperative.
Boats are full for the rest of the week, still some availability towards the end of the month, great airfare and hotel accomodations can be found all over the web. Come down and see us and take advantage of the great fishing.
