Rich Delor promised we would send pictures of the Marlin we caught with Omar and Americo on June 30. Again, thank you for the once in a lifetime (for me anyway) experience. We truly enjoyed our time. You have a top notch crew and outfit and we look forward to our next trip to Cabo and utilizing your company.

** Marlin caught and released on June 30th, 2009

Sunny Saturday

July 11th, 2009

Hot weather and cool fishing is what the day brought to our anglers on RedRum boats. The temperature is sitting at 93 degrees but feels like 102, and not too much breeze just a bit from the south at 10 mph. It’s official, the heat has arrived in Cabo, if you aren’t in air conditioning, you are sweating, or glistening if you’re a lady. The good news is, the RedRum office is on its way to get some A/C installed, and we just can’t wait.

But back to the fishing, which there was a lot of, but not too much catching being done.

The crew on ReelRum, 2 fun couples from Boston, we liked them immediately as they are huge Red Sox fans, obviously. They headed out the Pacific side in search of some marlin or something. The fish gods weren’t on their side today. They fought with a roosterfish inshore for a bit, but lost it in the end and didn’t have too much luck after that. But they did have a fun time on the water! As we say it, “A bad day fishing still beats a good day working.”

The 2nd boat out was the 4 pack of ladies from Truckee, California. They were down about 2 years ago and were ready for more! Lisa, Peggy, Dian and Heidi are nothing but a good time and smiles. They had a blast on the water and loved the crew Manuel and Chivo aboard RumRunnin. Fishing near the light house about 12 miles out they caught two Skip Jacks a.k.a Bonitas. They were content with that, dinner for 4 at Misiones de Kino tonight with sashimi on the menu!

We hope tomorrow there is more catching.

Hi Friends at RedRum!

Although Martha and I did not manage to land the trophy wahoo on July 4, we still had a great time. Our crew of Omar and Americo were outstanding, and I think that they even had fun showing off the kite fishing technique to the "El Loco Ladies".

We plan to come again and are telling all our friends about RedRum.

Here are some photos of that day that will make you laugh!

Playing catch up...

Hola Hola... Back to the reports after missing a few days. John Donovan was in town covering the office for a few days, since Diana is still out with her broken jaw. Unfortunately there is more to running a sportfishing company than catching monster fish all day long. Brooke and I spent the week going to Notary, getting permits, and all the other extremely boring and often times frustrating aspects of the business. That being said, at the end of each day, dad was more interested in cooling off with a glass of Pinot Grigio on ice than writing about all the fish being caught. I will do my best to piece together what happened in my absence.

Tuesday was phenominal for most of the boats we sent out. Another whale was found dead, floating offshore and providing both shade and a meal for many a fish. The boats that were fortunate enough to find the whale had amazing days. John Baggette, a friend from the state of Texas and TCU took a large party out with Fiden, the Captain of the 42' Pescado III. Fiden was one of the first boats on the scene and they caught 8 Yellowfin and 2 real nice sized Wahoo. We saw John and his crew that night at Misiones de Kino enjoying their catch. I had the pleasure of meeting John's wife and his daughter Hannah, who informed me that she was heading out the following day to show her dad how it was done. Unfortunately, day 2 wasn't as great of a day as a few of the ladies on the boat didn't agree with the seas and got sick. They were back early and didn't get much fishing in.

The Rico party that came off the Royal Carribean cruise ship suffered the same fate and they too had to call it quits shortly after their trip began.

Keith Grove and his son were back for Day 3 of their Cabo adventure and after 2 days and only 1 fish to show for it, they had something to prove. Well they certainly made up for the two slow days, Keith and his son came back with 4 Dorado flags and 8 tuna flags flying, grinning from ear to ear.

Jeff Clinkscales and Leon Jordan fished with Javier and Manuel aboard Run Runnin and caught a nice Marlin and a big Dorado. Not a bad day at all!

Kevin Miller fished with Carlos aboard a Panga and they went out searching for Roosterfish. While they couldn't get into the Roosters, they did grab some Bonita and 6 Pargo. A good friend of Captain Marshalls found the Roosters though and brought in a monster 53 Kilo fish, 116lbs. Can't imagine the fight that fish must have put up.

Matthew Clark and his crew had a great day on the Tuna as well, they fished with Omar and Americo on ReelRum and brought in 6 Yellowfin Tuna.

Don and Cecilia Carruth along with Matt and D'Liza Stockman fished with Freddy and caught a huge 107" 160lb Striped Marlin.

Wednesday was a little rough on the water, as the girls on Pescado III can vouch for. Duane Abshire fished with Javier and Chivo, and while they caught a Marlin they had a somewhat slow day.

Brian Reardon and his crew fished on the RedBeam and El Nuevo RedRum. Not sure how the Beam did, but they found a school of Tuna on El Nuevo and caught 5.

I'll catch you up on today tomorrow morning. Need to send out the latest edition of Portside, our email newsletter. If you don't currently receive Portside and would like to, shoot us an email and we will add you to the list. info@redrumcabo.com

Sunday session...

After a great 4th of July party last night (yes, we still celebrate American holidays,) Brooke and I had little to no interest in fishing this morning, but my Dad John was ready to get out on the water after working in the office all week. I talked to him early in the day and they had seen a bunch of Marlin, which he did not want to do battle with. (I know, pretty spoiled, seeing Marlin and not throwing bait.) Mate Manuel got a call from a friend on the radio who had found a big school of Tuna so the guys raced over. Unfortunately they were 7 miles away when they got the call and by the time they got there the school had dissipated a bit. John was able to get dinner for us out of the smaller school they found.

On ReelRum today we had Mr. and Mrs. Perry from Victoria, Texas. After "fishing" with another fleet yesterday, the Perry's were ready to do some actual fishing today so we hooked them up with Americo and Marshall on ReelRum. These folks wanted to catch Marlin and the boys made it happen for them. Both Mr. and Mrs. Perry were able to bring in nice Striped Marlin, one of the two measuring a whopping 114" inches. After the Marlin it was time to find dinner and once again they were successful, catching a nice Dorado to cook up tomorrow night.

Sorry for the few missing reports this week, Jefe John has been covering the office while Brooke and I have been running some errands away from the office. We are ready for Diana to get back, she has been feeling better and her jaw is healing, shouldn't be long. Thanks for all your help this week Dad, we love having you down here.

Adios, Happy Dominion Day/Canada Day and Happy 4th to all our wonderful clients from Canada and the United States!
