Today we got into the Black and Blue action with a nice baby Blue estimated at 200lbs. While this small female might not be ready for the Bisbee this year, the release ensures this beautiful fish will have the potential to grow up and one day compete.
Seth Brown and his wife Kelly were the first ones back today on ReelRum. Omar and Americo found a nice size school of Yellowfin and had a blast bringing in one after the other. While they released a bunch of the fish they brought to the boat, they caught between 18-20 Yellowfin in the 15-35lb range.
Cabo Local Norm, had scheduled a trip this morning with another of Cabo's fine charter companies but after their boat broke down early he came to Cabo's Best Charter Company. Norm and his crew were the lucky anglers that hooked into the Blue Marlin, catching and releasing the estimated 200lb female. They were also kept busy in the school of Yellowfin, catching 18 Tuna.
The Johnston party was back for another day on the water and Bill, Scott, Brad, and Steven also got into the Yellowfin action. These guys were looking for Marlin all day and got to the school late, but were able to bring in 8 nice Yellowin Tuna.
Finally the Smolik Family, Mark, Linda, Jimmy and Matthew, headed out on the big boat the 54' Missing Lenk. Captain Mike also was looking for Marlin early but found the Tuna late and got 11 single jig strikes on the school. While they couldn't get an double or triple hook-ups the clients had their hands full, bringing in Tuna one after the other for the last 3 hours of the trip.
Great day on the water in Cabo!

Blacks and Blues Have Arrived!
While it wasn't on a RedRum boat the biggest Black Marlin of the year was caught today in Cabo San Lucas, with a nearly 700 lb monster being brought in. With the warm water and ample bait we knew it wouldn't be long before the Big Blue and Black Marlin arrived.
Gene and Rama Menn, Justin and Jolie Godfrey and Heath McDonald headed out with Alex and Ramon on El Nuevo today and had tough time hooking up. The boys spotted several billfish on the surface of the water and even had one hook-up with a nice Sailfish, but couldn't get anything to the boat. Next time guys!
Jack Parks, who fished with us on Friday and didn't have any luck, decided to try his luck again today on a Panga with Carlos. Today was finally the day he knocked the skunk off his offshore fishing luck, bringing in a nice Grouper and a good sized Dorado.
Finally, fellow Horned Frogs, Christine Chapman and Chris Gores headed out with Omar and Americo on ReelRum for a half day of fishing. Chris got to pull on, and land his first Marlin ever. Congrats Chris on a beautiful fish!

Monday Update
Today was a beautiful day in Cabo, while it was warm, the humidity wasn't too bad. We even had a little cloud cover, providing for a great day on the water. All the boats had success today, so that was great.
Bill, Scott and Brad Johnson, along with Steven Grounds were out on El Nuevo RedRum for their first of two days on the water. Along with Alex and Ramon, these guys had a great day. They caught and released 2 Striped Marlin, the first 99" and the second a 115" whopper. Congrats guys!
Another father, son, son combo of Dan, Todd and Justin Stewart were our guests aboard Rum Runnin with Javier and Manuel. Monday was Javier's last day of work for 8 days as he is taking a well deserved vacation, you'll never guess what his plans are. He is heading up to Loreto to do some fishing! That being said, Javier wanted to make sure his last charter was a good one. Dan, Todd and Justin are no strangers to fishing boats or charters as their family has been in the charter business for 30+ years on Lake Michigan. That being said, they had a great day here in Cabo. While things were slow to start, Javier and Manuel stuck with it and got them a nice Striped Marlin by the end of the day.
Charlie and Jessica Reinhardt in from the Hill Country of Texas were our guest aboard ReelRum. Omar and Americo found the fish quickly and kept the Reinhardts busy all day. They had 3 catch and release Sailfish by the time they returned. One of the fish hit a lure, the other two were caught on live bait, Caballitos.
Finally, we had Bryan Silverthorn, a Cabo local, with his crew on the RedBeam. Shawn, John, Debra and Susan are visiting Bryan from out of town and wanted to try sportfishing. While the seas didn't agree with Shawn, they did get to catch and release a Striped Marlin before heading back to shore. Congrats to Bryan and his wife who are celebrating 30 years of marriage this weekend in Cabo!

Sunday Funday
Sunday we had only one boat, El Nuevo, with a scheduled charter. Tyler Hagemen, Amy Dunnem, Ross and Sarah Biel, all from Austin, Texas, headed out with Alex on El Nuevo. The bite had been good the last few days but the fish were really spread out. There were some schools of Tuna way up the Sea of Cortez past the Gordo Banks and Marlin and Sailfish out near the 95 bank. Alex, however, liked what he saw on the Pacific in regards to Sea Surface Temperature before he left the office. They headed for the Jaime Bank and found a nice school of Yellowfin. Tyler, Ross, Amy and Sarah were all smiles when they got back after bringing in 8 Yellowfin from 15-30lbs.

Texas takes Cabo once again!
The Zengerle group from Cuero, Texas, CCA supporters and first timers to Cabo went out on our 33’ El Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Ramon. They headed out to the sea of Cortez where the water was a steaming eighty four degrees. They used lures to catch 5 Tuna. The lucky crew took almost half of it home and the Texans from Cuero will be enjoying the rest for dinner tonight.
Jeff, Jakob, Zack, Debra and husband from East Bernard, Texas went out again for the second time this week on our 28’ RumRunnin with Javier and Juan. They had a horrible day on the water they said, catching a 50 pound Dorado using a lure, 2 twenty five pound Tuna and catch and releasing a 7 foot Sailfish. All of this only 15 miles south of our famous Arch where the water was eighty five degrees.
Sending a big Happy Birthday, or Feliz Cumplea~nos to George, our head Captain at RedRum who has been fishing these waters for the past thirty years. Muchas gracias for all of your heard work George!

CCA Texas takes on Cabo
Jeff, his sons Jakob and Zack, plus the Keller’s from East Bernard, Texas went out on our 32’ RumRunnin. They found out about RedRum through their CCA chapter and decided to come down to Cabo and give sportfishing a try with us. It’s their first time in Cabo and everyone was really excited to be here when they arrived at the office this morning. At a spot we call “Cabeza de Ballena”, or Whale’s Head on the sea of Cortez, the boys caught a forty five pound Dorado using live bait.
Jeannine, Fred, Ryan, Matt and Erica, also from Texas and CCA supporters, went out on our 33’ El Nuevo with Captain Alex, Mate Ramon and special guest Ryan Donovan. They used live bait to catch a large Sailfish at point 95 on the sea of Cortez and were back in time for happy hour. When I asked Ryan if he had anything he wanted to add to the report he insisted I let his readers know about his striking good looks. Being the honest girl that I am, I must insist that ya’ll decide for yourselves. Lucky for Ryan, Brooke likes his personality.

A great day for all...except maybe the fish (hehe)
Pete, Dustin and his son Ryan went out on our 32’ RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Manuel. They caught and released a ninety pound Marlin using live bait about 10 miles offshore of our lighthouse. They also fought two Sailfish and two other Marlin but they managed to get away. It was a good fight for young Ryan who got a chance to get into some of the action.
Gary, James, Brandon, Deborah, Sylvina and Jesse from Arizona went out on our 33’ El Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Ramon and caught 16 Tuna that weighed in between fifteen and twenty pounds. They also fished offshore from the lighthouse about twenty five miles out and used lures in the eighty three degree water. Now imagine how hot it was outside of the water…They’ll be making ceviche out of some of the fish tonight and taking the rest home since the only catching in Arizona is for snakes and scorpions.
Patrick and Juanita went out on our 28’ ReelRum with Captain Omar and Mate Americo. They used live bait to catch a Sailfish ten miles offshore and unfortunately struggled and lost a Marlin.
Doug, Carla and Jason from Dallas, Texas went out on our 32’ RedBeam with Captain Marcial and Mate Fabian. They caught 8 Tuna weighing in between fifteen and twenty pounds. They used lures to catch their Tuna and were fifteen miles offshore form the lighthouse where all the action went down today. The kind Texans took a few fillets for dinner, gave half of their catch to the crew and will be picking up the rest of their catch, vacuum sealed and frozen by RedRum, on the way to the airport upon their departure.
Another great day with RedRum!!!!
