Well I’m back in the office for a few days while my husband Ryan heads up to Clemson to root on not Clemson but our alma matter TCU. GO FROGS! Yup, it’s a boys trip so I was off the invite list, but am covering the fort while the guys get themselves into trouble up there. I’m glad to report the latest and greatest at RedRum in Cabo San Lucas.
The glowing honeymooners Nathan and Jessica from Tampa arrived early off of the RedBeam this afternoon. Jessica wasn’t feeling too well on the water and wanted to head in. But just when they were heading back from the Lighthouse the Captain and Mate on RedBeam fired a few lures in the water after some trolling in the morning. And BAM, BAM, BAM just like that a triple Marlin hook-up in minutes! Jessica was suddenly feeling a bit better. Muneca the mate had to get on the 3rd Marlin as the honeymooners were a few hands short. Muneca’s Marlin got away which he called a “Mexican release”. But Nathan and Jessica fought for 2 hours! They were able to pull their 180-200 pound Marlins on board for some pictures and released them all before 1 pm. That’s a heck of a morning on the Pacific!
The office was a whirlwind as the rest of the crews came back around 3:30. Chris, John, Russel and Rene headed out again on El Nuevo. The fish were putting up a fight as they were out around Los Arcos in the Pacific side. The got on a Wahoo but it got away. They just couldn’t get them on board. The guys got into about 3-4 Dorado as well and lost them in the fight, but ended up with one to cook up back at the condos. These guys will enjoy a nice dinner back at the Portofino Condos in their Stay & Play package.
Our dear friend Kaye Peters had her family in town and her dad had his eyes on catching that BIG Billfish. All aboard RumRunnin was Jona, Jerry & Cordelia Swaford along with the lovely Kaye. They headed out to the Pacific Side and saw a lot of Marlin out on the surface as they were pitching live bait, but just couldn’t get them to bite. The had the feather lures out for the Dorado, but they weren’t having it either. As they headed toward Mirgrino on the Pacific side about a mile out, Jerry got that BIG fish, that Sailfish that he’s always dreamed of!
Yvette & Tracy from Newburgh, Indiana headed out on ReelRum with Omar & Americo. Out to Golden Gate they ran hoping to get on some fish for dinner. They were able to catch 2 nice Dorado on live bait and a nice Tuna on a lure. We’ve got their cooler here to vacuum seal and freeze their catch and the rest they’ll be eating at Missiones de Kino for dinner!
Hasta Manana

Tuesday's Report
Chris Sadlers CCA Play and Stay group from Louisiana wanted to target the Billfish today and while the bit for Marlin still hasn't arrived in ridiculous numbers here in Los Cabos, they were able to catch and release a nice 9ft Striped Marlin.
Sean and Elizibeth McCrary from Dallas, Texas were referred to us from a friend from TCU and they were excited about their trip with us. After a slow start to the morning, Omar and Americo ended up finding the fish late and after catching 10 Yellowfin within an hour, they were then able to catch a nice Stiped Marlin which Sean described as one of the Top 10 Highlights of his life!
Finally, we had Jason and Jacque Tedesco fishing with us aboard Rum Runnin with Javier and Manuel. Javier really like what he saw water temperature wise on the Sea of Cortez, and while the fishing has been good on the Pacific, he decided to take a chance with the Cortez. Good call Javier! The Tedesco's fished the 95 spot with live bait for the Dorado and feathers for the Tuna. They ended up with 8 Tuna and 3 Dorado.
- I am off to Dallas and then Clemson, South Carolina for a little guys trip to watch the TCU Horned Frogs do battle with the Clemson Tigers, it's up to Brooke and Diana to run the show. See you Monday.

Monday's update
Joe Gaar and his wife April are down visiting from Louisiana and after catching a Marlin on his last trip, it was April's turn. The Gaar's had a great day with Alex and Ramon on El Nuevo and while originally scheduled for a half day, they were having too much fun and decided to stay out for the full day once they were into the action. After hooking up with a Striped Marlin briefly in the beginning of the trip, then catching 4 Yellowfin and a Dorado, April's turn finally came. Ramon pitched the right bait to the right fish and her battle was on. 35 minutes later, after a successful catch and release, April earned her Marlin flag. Congrats April, and come back and see us soon.
Next up was Kyra Williams and Ryan Covino from Boston, Mass. Kyra and Ryan were all about getting out for a day on the water and hopefully chasing some Billfish. While the Billfish didn't cooperate, Javier and Manuel did put them on the fish today. Kyra and Ryan finished up with 6 Yellowfin Tuna and 1 Dorado which they enjoyed over at Mango Cantina with the crew of Rum Runnin. Next up, was Wild Canyon Zip Line Park and Dune Buggy's with Wide Open.
Finally, our good friend from Cabo Kaye Peters and her Dad Jerry, Stepmom Jona and Sister Cordelia headed out with Omar and Juan aboard ReelRum. Jerry has always wanted to catch and Billfish and while they put in the time today, they couldn't get one to bite. As soon as they switched gears, and opened the first beers, they were into the Dorado. Finishing up with 4 Dorado, which they were nice enough to share with us at Missiones de Kino, Jerry will have to wait until Wednesday to try to catch the elusive Marlin.

Sunday's Report
Trista Bolinger, Justin Lewis, and Carrington Brown, all from TCU and Lindsay Brown, Carrington's wife, headed out with the boys on Rum Runnin for a half day of fishing today. They hooked into a Marlin which spit the hook after only a few minutes, and Carrington fought a nice Wahoo all the way to the boat, before it too spit the hook and got away at the last second. I guess it wasn't in the cards for these guys today, Fish 2 Clients 0. Next time guys, that's why they call it fishing. Nice to see some familiar faces from school though, hope to see you back in Cabo soon.
Heather and James Graham shared a boat with Donovan Rittenbach today and they had a great day. They pulled in 3 nice sized Yellowfin and a Mako shark, and Donovan went to battle with a monster. For nearly 2.5 hours, Donovan pulled on a giant Yellowfin Tuna. Americo the mate who pitched bait, said the fish left a hole in the water the size of a VW Bug when it took the live bait offering. Rigged with 50lb test, the pitch bait rod turned out to be no match for this monster that Omar and Americo estimated at well over 200lbs. Way to get after it Donovan, I think you may need to join a few other Donovan's this year in defense of our 1st Place finish in the Los Cabos Tuna Jackpot last year.
Daren Gann, along with friends Karen Carrington, Cary Carrington, John Harrell, Marlene Feroni, and Matthew Judy joined Fabian and Marshall aboard the RedBeam today. Daren kept his hot streak going and everyone got to spend ample time on the rod and reel. When it was said and done, they had 14 Dorado to show for their day on the water. Great stuff Daren, enjoy the filets.

Belated Fishing Report
WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 16TH
Kodi and Kurt shared our 32’ RumRunnin. They were both looking to fish but their ladies weren’t having it. Not wanting to battle the bills and fins alone, they requested our help to find a suitable fighting partner and we were able to set this up. The new friends headed to the Pacific side and with the help of Captain Javier and Mate Manuel, Kodi and Kurt caught 5 Dorado and caught and released a Marlin.
Gordon and Gordon, the father-son duo, went out on our 28’ ReelRum with Captain Omar and Mate Americo. After catching a ton of fish on Tuesday they went looking for a big one. Father and son spent two hours fighting a 150-200 pound Tuna before the line broke…bummer. They still had a great day on the water though and lots of fish to take home with them. So much, they couldn’t even fit it into their cooler and had to leave lots behind. Don’t worry guys, we have plenty of mouths we can feed over here.
THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 17TH
