Big enough to mount, beautiful enough to release

It seems to be the TCU fraternity brother reunion month because yet another one of R. Donovan’s friends came by to fish with us. Blake along with girlfriend Kelly went out on our 28’ ReelRum with Captain Omar and Mate Americo and caught 3 twenty to thirty pound Dorado. They met up with these beauties about twenty four miles offshore by Golden Gate on the Pacific side where water temperature reached eighty five degrees.

Daniel, Mike, Jake and Jake went out from New York and California went out on our 32’ RedBeam with Captain Marcial. They caught a Wahoo, 7 Dorado that weighed between ten to twenty pounds, five of which they released, and a seventy pound Sailfish which they also released. The fun happened on the Pacific side which has become quite the popular spot amongst our trophy fish.

Josh and friends from Houston, Texas went out on our 32’ RumRunnin with Captain Manuel and Mate Juan. They caught and released 2 sixty pound Sailfish using live bait and a hundred and twenty pound Striped Marlin using a lure. They also caught 6 ten to thirty pound Dorado, releasing one of them and keeping the rest for dinner. It all went down four miles offshore by the lighthouse.

Shane and friends from Houston, Texas found us through their local CCA chapter and are enjoying a four night stay at our Portofino condos. They’ll be fishing twice on this trip and went out today with Captain Alex and Mate Ramon on our 33’ El Nuevo. The guys did not come back empty handed. They caught a hundred and forty pound Striped Marlin two miles offshore on the Pacific side as well as 2 twenty five pound Dorado and 3 fifteen pound Tuna. That’s a lot of fish! Nice job guys, see you on Sunday!!!

Joey and Annie send us some love

Enjoy these pics of seasoned anglers Joey and Annie Minville from Louisiana. They have fished with us seven times and released 34 billfish. Here's a highlight from their last fish with us at the end of July:

They were on the Beam two days in a row with Marshall and the first day reeled in a nice 40 pound Tuna. They enjoyed a nice dinner at Misiones de Kino with some killer tuna sashimi. Joey had his heart set on Marlin. So when the second day rolled around he had high hopes of a good day, and as luck would have it, they had a phenomenal day. The first two Striped Marlin they caught were on a double hook-up out at Golden Gate. As Annie was fighting her Marlin asking for Joey’s help, his reel went off and Annie was on her own. They ended up fighting about 7 Marlin, lost 3 but brought 4 to the boat to release them. They caught 1 Tuna and 2 Dorado. They just can’t get enough of Misiones de Kino, so will be heading back for more!

I'll take the fish combo please...

Jason, Josh, Natalie and Kelley from Tuscola and Amarillo, Texas fished on our 32’ RedBeam with Captain Marcial and Mate Fabian. They headed out into the Pacific ocean where the water was at seventy two degrees and the fish started to bite a mere mile from shore. They caught 7 Dorado and 2 Tuna using a combination of lures and bait. The Dorado weighed between fifteen and twenty pounds.

James, David, Jimmy and Rickey from Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi and Alabama went out again today with Captain Alex on our 33’ El Nuevo and caught 3 Tuna and released a Marlin on the pacific side.

The Harnack group went out on our 28’ ReelRum with Captain Omar and Mate Americo. They caught 11 Dorado, 4 of which they released, a Tuna and released a ninety pound Sailfish. They also fought a hammerhead shark which they also released. The action went down on the pacific side about fifteen to twenty miles offshore.

Jon Westerfield went out with his wife and two young daughters on one of our partner boats and caught a Dorado and 6 Bonita. Unfortunately one of the girl’s didn’t feel too well and they headed back early but vowed to return in the near future.

Colby, Jim, RB and “jefe in training” Ryan Donovan went out on our 32’ RumRunnin with Captain Manuel and Mate Juan. They spent the day reminiscing about their fraternity days and pretended the fish were young freshmen scheduled to be hazed. The guys did well and brought back 2 Dorado, released another 2 and also caught and released 3 Striped Marlins, the largest weighing 170 pounds.

At this moment I would like to give a shout out to the Donovan’s for having air conditioning installed in the office. Without your support I would be melting right about now.

Peace,
Diana

Ansite picks




James Ansite was down from Long Beach, California. On Saturday August 1st he fished with Captain Marshall on the RedBeam and was constantly hooked up with Yellowfin Tuna. Marshall found a huge school which they circled for a few hours catching more than his limit. Sunday was much of the same but more of a mixed bag for James' second trip. Along with Captain Manuel on Rum Runnin, James got hooked into a nice Striped Marlin, 2 big Dorado and 10 more Yellowfin Tuna. Awesome two days on the water James, I am sure your arms are still tired.

Monday's report...

RedRum boats were back at it again today, filling the ice chests with tons of Yellowfin and Dorado. The massive earthquakes 600 miles or so north of us weren't felt here in Cabo, and no Tsunami's or Rogue waves, so that is great! All is well in Baja.

Eddie, Patrick, Jamie and Hunter Wyrick all from Oklahoma fished with us today on ReelRum. Captain Omar was at the helm and guided the Wyrick's to a phenominal day. When it was said and done, they had 8 Yellowfin Tuna and one nice Dorado.

Greg and Brandon Ishmael along with Jennifer Womble, all from Texas were our guests on Anzuelo today. They too had a phenominal day on the water catching and releasing a nice Marlin, and bringing in 3 Dorado and 4 Yellowfin Tuna. Everyone got into the action and had some time on the rod and reel so that was great.

John and Jamila Albright, along with Steve Wagner, all from Aurora, Colorado were our guest on El Nuevo RedRum, the 33' Bertram, today. The action came early and often for these folks and Captain Alex did a great job with all the fish. When they returned to the docks, they had released 2 Marlina and brought in 1 Dorado and 6 Yellowfin Tuna.

Webb Sabin and his girlfriend Brittany Elster from Memphis, Tennesse joined us aboard Rum Runnin with Captain Manuel and Jesus. They too got into the action quickly and boated 6 Yellowfin and 2 Dorado. They had a big Marlin take the bait, but the hook didn't set and they lost it. Webb and Brittany enjoyed a few filets over at Missiones de Kino last night.

Finally, I had my good friend Summer Cook and her husband Kelly, from TCU fishing with us aboard the RedBeam. Summer was a trooper today, battling not only motion sickness, but morning sickness as well! She was the perfect wife, for Kelly of course, though as she stuck it out long enough for Kelly to bring in 2 really nice sized Dorado and a Blue Marlin. The boys thought the Blue went around 225-250lbs. Great stuff guys. We will also be enjoying a few of those fillets tonight at Missiones de Kino.... and maybe 1 or 2 Mojito's.
