Marlin, Marlin and more Marlin.

Hi Guys,

TGIF!! sorry I did not post yesterday's fish report earlier, things got a little busy in the office.
Fishing as you may have read from the last post is picking up every day. This whole week we caught a Marlin each day which is great after a long time of no fish.

Water temperture is 75F winds blowing 15mph, we have medium waves today, evern though yesterday's were choppy. And it's 86F. Not too hot nor cold, just right!

So on to the fish Report.
On Wednesday April 14th we had 4 boats fishing out on both sides of Baja, The Sea of Cortez and The Pacific.

On a Panga we had Rojo Goodwin fishing for his second day. And after reeling in 1 Marlin on day 1 he caught 6 sierras on the 14th but was not so lucky yesterday. Yesterday was his last day fishing with us but he left very happy. Hope he joins us again!

From the famous Sharelist we were able to arrange a fishing charter for Edward and Leslie Miller along with James and Simon Halbur. They had an awesome time out there, they were very exicited because they caught 2 Marlin and 1 Dorado. Simon (16 Yrs Old) was really looking forward to catch a Dorado and it happend! It took him 15-20 mins to reel him in. Great job buddy! Edward and Leslie caught one of the Marlin and just had a great time with us. Leslie is even thinking of buying a place here in Cabo! hopefully Leslie!!!!

We also had another 28' Anzuelo out in the water wigh Matt Johnson and Tim Wetzsteont. These guys after a full day of fishing also reeled in 1 Marlin and 1 Dorado. They weren't really sure what they had to do with it. They had a great time. Hope to see them again soon.

Yesterday we had Brian Brumfield and Darlene Bonis out for half a day of fishing and they came back with 2 Marlin!! Thye were fishing with Captain Javier and Mate Americo. They had an awesome time.

**** I need to apologize to Brian Brumfield for typing incorrect information regarding his trip with Ms. Darlene Bonis. And I hope this did not cause any trouble.*****

Lets just hope I don't jinx the fishermen out there, but I am so exicted that fish are coming back. We haven't caught any yellowfin since April 3rd, but as long as we have Marlin and Dorado everyday that's fine by us....

Thanks for reading, I will let you guys know how fishing is today!

Have a great day!

Marlin are back!

Fishing is defintely gettin' better! We've caught a Marlin every day since Monday. But I don't want to jinx our fisherman!!! (knock on wood)

Anyhow, fishing has been picking up pretty good these last few days after going through a fish fast practically the first two weeks of April. Yesterday we had 2 boats out and they did an awesome job out there.

On Tantrum we had "Red" Goodwin and Sylvia fishing out for their 1st day out of 3 and came back with a Marlin. "Rojo" as he wanted us to call him, is an awesome down to earth guy and is very excited about the whole fishing trip. He did a great job reeling the Marlin in. He will be on a Panga on Wednesday and out on Tantrum again on Thursday. I will let you know how he did

On Rum Runnin we had Terry Banning, Laura Meyers, Maria Howard and Charles Meyers coming down from San Marcos California and Los Angeles. These folks fished for a full day, came back very excited about their fishing trip because they reeled in 5 Dorado the biggest one being 55 LBS!! that's a big fish and a 50 Lb Mako Shark. Laura needed Charles to help her out because she got a bad blister from reeling it in but they did an awesome job. Great people and very cheerful.

I am glad they came along and we will see them again next May.

So it seems Marlin is back in the Cabo Oceans finally! after a long wait "they're here"

I'll keep you posted to see what else we catch in the upcoming days.

Thanks for reading.

Monday's results...

Today was a beautiful day, as April usually is here in Cabo. A slight breeze picked up in the afternoon, but nothing too crazy. The guys fished the Pacific, water temps were in the high 70's and they pulled spreader bars, plastic artificials and live bait Caballito.

Steve Davies and Rod Schick were out for their 4th and final day on the water with us today with Javier on Rum Runnin'. Steve has fished with us many times in the past and always had great success, but this trip the fish definitely won the battle. They pitched bait to several Marlin and even a Dorado, but just couldn't get the fish to bite. Steve said he would be back later this year and Rod is coming back in July. They told me that Javier did everything he could, they just chalked it up to fishing. Fellas, we really appreciate your business and understanding that sometimes, even in Cabo San Lucas, it really is FISHING and not CATCHING. It is clients like y'all that make this the best job in the world.

On TantRum today we had the mysterious, Robert and Kelly Lee. The recently married duo sent a request to fish under one name and a deposit under Kelly's maiden name. They had Nick and I confused like a beast in the office for a week or so. Anyway, once we realized that Finkle was Einhorn, we got everything set up for them to have a great day on the water. They started off inshore and had a blast catching 5 or 6 Sierra before heading offshore and catching a nice 104" Striped Marlin. Congrats on the great day guys and come back and see us soon.

Sunday Funday...

Today we had some really fun people fishing with us, and I always say, when you show up with a good attitude in the morning, you are going to have a great day on the water.

Our first charter was Wilson Hunt, who was down from Houston, Texas. Wilson fished with his better half and a few friends on Pescado III on Friday, but todays charter was all about Wilson. He had Marlin on his mind and wanted to make sure they got one. Wilson fished with Juan and Ramon on TantRum and had a great day. They actually spotted several Marlin and pitched a lot of bait before finally getting one to bite. Wilson caught and released a nice 150lb class Striped Marlin and he had it to the boat in 45 minutes or so. Nice to have met you Wilson and hopefully we will see you back here soon.

Next up was Gary Romano and 4 of his good friends from California. Gary is a boat owner himself and he really wanted to spend the day learning about fishing from the guys that do it everyday. He wanted to know about knot-tying, lure placement, pitching live bait, etc. Which brings up a great point, if any of you all ever want a tutorial on what the guys are doing, they are more than happy to show you. Gary had a great time with Americo, his crew saw a ton of sea life, but just couldn't get anything to stick when they did get bites.

Finally we had Heather Beaulieu down from Kirkland, Washington. She has fished with us in the past and was all set to fish by herself during this vacation but she met 3 guys on the plane that wanted to fish as well, but just hadn't figured out with whom yet. Well, we are certainly happy that Heather told them about RedRum and I am sure they are happy they met Heather. They had a great day on the water with 5 Sierra early and 2 Striped Marlin a little later in the day.

All the fishing was done on the Pacific, past the Lighthouse at Margharita. Water temps were in the high 70's and live Caballito was used for both the Sierra and Marlin.

Here...fishy...fishy...fishy !!

Hi everyone.
Once again we haven't been too lucky out in the oceans. Believe us guys, if there was a button to make those fish come in and bite, we would've pushed it years ago! unfortunately our button broke down =)

Today was sort of a good day for our friends who were fishing on Tantrum along with Captain Omar and Mate Juan. They were fishing off by Margarita Bay and came back to the office after a full day with 9 Sierra, 2 Jack Grevalle and 1 Snapper. Bill Baxter and Jim Lewis are very cool guys who understand that fishing has been slow but still decided to give it a try and well they did pretty good.

These guys didn't come back to the office after their day of fishing but they told me yesterday that if they caught something, they would take it to a restaurant to get it cooked up. We suggested Misiones de Kino because they have a variety of ways to cook the fish up. Hopefully, they will go there. In the meantime, thank you guys for fishing with us, we hope you enjoyed the day.

We had another boat out but it wasn't lucky, these guys did not catch anything and well it can be quite frustrating to come fishing for several days and not being able to catch what you're looking for. These are very cool guys and we really wanted them to catch something you know.

Hopefully their luck will change in the next few days.

Weather here in Cabo is warm with some clouds, mild waves, I would say humidity is about 20% but not that bad and winds blowing around 15-20 mph.

Maybe we will have better luck tomorrow.

Thank you all for reading and for being great customers, we value and appreciate all of you.

Thanks

Back to NADA!

Don't know why, we did good yesterday after the two Marlin....but no fish was spotted today.
A lot of squid though and whales!

Waters are warm, winds are blowing 15-20 mph, Caballito is being used as the main bait, but that seems not to matter right now, as it seems that the Pacific and Sea of Cortez, along with the fish have gone on strike.

We had two boats out today, and didn't catch a thing.
Funny comment a person said was...Fishing is like Marriage, it has its up and downs and it's a pain! as being a single person I really wouldn't know but I am sure he is right, that's the way life rolls in may different situations.

So maybe by tomorrow I will have great news. In the meantime all of you enjoy this day and remember to keep reading our posts and sending in your pictures.

Thanks!
Nick

Javier found some Marlin!

Today we had 4 charters on the books, but only had 3 groups show up. That 4th group definitely missed out on some great action, as Javier and Cesar found the fish today. Ulyses didn't really get a chance to find the fish, but we'll get to that later.

Water temps are still very warm, mid to high 70's, and Caballito is still the predominent bait being sold and the guys are trolling cedar plugs and hoochies for the Tuna, big lures in a variety of colors for Marlin and using live bait for the inshore species.

David Gregg is down from Solana Beach, California... right near my old stomping grounds. Congrats to David as his youngest daughter is getting married here in Los Cabos this weekend. David brought a group from the wedding party over to fish for the day with Ramon and Javier. Unfortunately, a few people had trouble getting down here so Ramon and Juan on TantRum got left out of the action today.

Javier headed out with David and a few of his friends and they had a great day on the water. The guys headed straight out from Cabo or El Zero as they like to call it and found some good water and action about 15 miles out. They fished the area and were rewarded with 2 Marlin that they got to the boat and another that they lost. Great day for David and his friends and hard work by Javier and Americo.

The other group we had today was the folks from ICore. They had two boats today, the 31' Grey Light and the 32' RedBeam. Unfortunately, the guys on Grey Light with Ulyses felt a little under the weather once they got out to the fishing grounds so they had to turn around and cut their day short. The guys on RedBeam, however, did a little better. Cesar put the guys on some fish right off the bat with some inshore fishing for Sierra. After 12 or so Sierra, they headed offshore and were able to catch and release a nice HammerHead Shark.

Great day overall for the RedRum crews!
