Sad Sad Day for Team RedRum
From John Donovan:
Our office mascot “Shea” passed away this morning, there was an accident (we do not wish to discuss). She was a great dog and friend to all of our RedRum family and friends. She will be missed by all. There are days that the number of fish that are caught does not matter, today is one of those days.
Please say a prayer for Shea, Ryan, Brooke and all the RedRum family.
Chris, James and James senior went out on our 32’ RumRunnin with Captain Manuel and Mate Juan. They fished Los Arcos and Golden Gate on the Pacific side. Just two miles from shore, where the water was eighty five degrees, the group caught a Marlin and 8 Dorado. They were four hours into their trip, a few Dorado already under their belt when they got a triple hook-up: Dick was fighting the nine foot; hundred and ninety pound Striped Marlin while the other two fought Dorado’s. The fight with Dick’s Marlin lasted forty five minutes and was afterwards released.
Isaac, Tom and James from California went out on our 31’ partner boat with Captain Ulises. They fished Los Arcos just four miles from shore. Using live bait, Jim caught and released a nine foot; hundred and forty pound Striped Marlin which he fought for about forty five minutes. Isaac caught a fifty pound Wahoo and they all helped in catching 2 fifteen pound Tuna as well as 8 fifteen to thirty pound Dorado.
The Weaver group went out for the second time this week on our 33’ El Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Ramon. They fished Golden Gate just three miles from shore. Using feather lures they caught 5 twenty pound Dorado, two of which they released. They also caught a fifteen pound Tuna.
As happens at times, the honeymooners from Alaska, fishing on our 32’ RedBeam came back really early after the new bride became sick.
Michael and Justin from Louisville, Kentucky went out on our 28’ ReelRum with Captain Omar and Mate Americo. They fished on Friday went the tropical storm going by us threw down some water and the Kentucky boys got a chance to fish again today with a clear sky. Fishing the Pacific waters they caught three fifteen pound Dorado and nailed a large Sailfish which they released.

Birthday Sail
Michael and his wife Dana from Caldwell, Texas went out on our 32’ RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Manuel. They fished Los Arcos on the Pacific side and caught 2 thirty pound Dorado and caught and released 2 eight foot Marlin.
Scott, Darren, Brian and Chris went out on our 32’ RedBeam with Captain Guadalupe and Mate Fabian. They also fished the Pacific side and caught 3 twenty five to thirty pound Dorado.
Joe, his dad Joseph and mom Lorraine from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Toronto, Ontario went out on our 28’ ReelRum with Captain Omar and Mate Americo. It was Joe’s birthday so we got him on a Sailfish which he caught and released. The Sail weighed roughly a hundred and ten pounds. Joseph senior was hoping to fight a Marlin but they weren’t biting so he opted for a fight with a forty pound Dorado which he caught as well as another smaller Dorado which they released. They fished Migri~no on the Pacific just seven miles from shore using live bait. Joe came by especially to let me know that “Omar and Americo did a great job”.

Sept 24th... a little late
It was a day of celebrating for clients and a super busy day for me at the office. With Ryan still on his guys trip, Diana out sick and 2 groups of clients checking in at the condos for the Stay & Play I was one worn out woman.
But there was celebrating to be had on the boats. We had 2 couples on their honeymoon, 1 birthday and 1 bachelor party. Let's party I say!
Mindi and Caleb (now) Leonard from Oklahoma just got done saying their nuptials before they headed down to Cabo for their honeymoon. They set sail towards the Pacific side with Omar and Americo on ReelRum and reeled in 2 nice 25 pound Tuna.
The second honeymooners were Dave and Agnes Nowak from Chicago. They had a great newly wed day on the water with 4 Tuna and 1 Dorado caught aboard RumRunnin.
Paul managed to get 4 out of 5 of his buddies out of bed after a night of partying in Cabo. You guessed it, this is the bachelor party group. With about 3 cases of beer being loaded onto the boat before sunrise these 5 serious fisherman were ready for fun and fish. Carlos, Paul, Jarrett, Jason and Ramiro headed out on the RedBeam with Marcial. The fish weren't biting. "The guys worked their tails off and did everything they could by switching line, baits, positions etc. I'd bitch if I could but I can't, they did a great job." said Jarrett. That says it all folks, our crews will do their best to get you on the fish, but we can't make them bite. The guys had a good time despite the few fish caught (heck who can't with 3 cases of beer!) And Paul the Bachelor was able to reel in the 1 Tuna that made it on board.
And last but not least was the Coens, Joseph Sr., Lorraine and son Joseph Jr. were down for two reason. One was Joseph Jr's birthday the other was to get dad on that billfish and catch dinner! Aboard El Nuevo the Coens headed out to Los Arcos in hopes of reeling in something. They did will reeling in the dinner that they hoped for, 3 Tunas around 15 pounds each and 3 Dorado around 25 pounds each. Nice job guys and Happy Birthday to you Joesph, I think the 25th is your actual birthday. Looks like tomorrow dad will have a chance to reel in that billfish. See you tomorrow.
Hasta Pronto!

Thunder, Lightening and a Brief Shower
Around 8:30am the sun coming through my window was covered by a pack of dark clouds. They looked menacing but I figured they were just teasing as usual. Then at 11am the thunder, lightening and shower show began. It didn't last more than an hour but the port captain ordered all the boats in and ended our fishing daily earlier than we would have liked.
Thankfully the guys on our 28' ReelRum had already planned on fishing a second day on Sunday so they'll have a chance for a nie catch soon.
The Weaver group from Texas went out on our 33' El Nuevo and managed to come back with 3 Dorado, one of which was released. They caught the 25-30lbs fish just short of Golden Gate on the Pacific side.

September 23rd
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.
