Hey guys!
Have been a bit unable to update the fish report so I will try to do it as briefly as possible for the last couple of days.
Fishing has been good, we've been striking Marlin, Dorado, Tuna and a Hammerhead this week. Winds have been rough, yesterday's weather was just awkward, it was very cold! not normal weather for Cabo San Lucas, but we woke up to a heavy Marine Layer and the winds were just freezing everybody...we sold almost all of our sweatshirts!
But anyhow, today it seems to be a bit nicer, we still have winds, not as strong as yesterday though, and not as cold either!
On June 9th we had 4 boats out.
On Rum Runnin we had Cody Walker and his buds fishing for the first time with RedRum, they were out with Captain Javier and Mate Americo. They hit 1 Marlin and 3 Yellowfin Tuna out by the Arch.
On RedBeam Captain Cesar and Mate Ramon had the pleasure to have Richard, Robert and Bill sharing the boat. These guys came back with 3 Marlin and a Dorado! They all got to catch and release a Marlin, so awesome!!
On Nuevo we had Craig Christiansen who after a full day of fishing, came back with 12 yellowfin tuna. He went fishing with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel. Great job guys!
On Tantrum David Jenkins and his friend decided to reel in 9 Yellowfin Tuna and 1 Marlin!
So as you can see Marlin was in the house!
Yesterday we had 5 boats out and a Panga. The panga was not very lucky but the guys still had fun.
On Tantrum we had Brett and Lisa Faucett from Dallas, TX fishing with Captain Ramon and Mate Omar. These guys reeled in 4 yellowfin tuna. Brought it back to get it seeled and frozen up! They had a great time.
Rick Barnhart and his party of 12 went out on RedBeam and RumRunnin. They had an awesome time out there and they both caught fish!
On RedBeam the guys did teamwork in reeling in a 10Ft 180 Lbs Striped Marlin plus a 7 Lb Yellowfin tuna!!! Awesome job!
On RumRunnin a 200 Lb Marlin was also caught but it snatched the line before it was able to make it all the way in....darn! they also caught a Tuna and a Hammerhead! first one of the month. Nicely done!
And last but not least was Steve & Debra Kman fishing on ReelRum, after their full day of fishing, they came back with a Tuna. Not bad either, the good thing is you guys enjoy your trip, right!!!
Thank you all for reading.

Tuesday June 8th
Family day at RedRum! Today, my cousin, Sean Macrae fished with us. Sean is down on vacation with his wife and a bunch of friends and they wanted to get out on the water. Sean was joined by Scott Press, Steve Press and Nick Curry as they fished with Javier and Americo on Rum Runnin'. This was Sean's first time deep-sea fishing and the boys on Rum Runnin showed them a great day on the water. They got into some Tuna on the Pacific side, near the Lighthouse, and some good size Tuna at that. They finished with 4 Tuna, 2 of which were over 50lbs and a big Dorado as well. They will have some excellent filets for dinner during the rest of their stay here in Cabo.
James Stratten was out for another Marlin hunt today and once again came up empty handed on the Marlin. They pitched bait to several fish, and even had one on for a short time before the fish spit the hook and went on her way.
Jack and Dottie Cernik are visiting from Jacksonville, Florida and being boating enthusiasts, they wanted to enjoy a day on the water here in Cabo. Good thing they are boating enthusiasts, and not fishing enthusiasts, because it turns out the fish weren't quite awake during their half-day on the water. The bite was stronger today in the afternoon and Jack and Dottie came back skunked. They said they had no complaints, as the crew worked hard on the RedBeam and they had a nice day on the water.

Monday June 7th
Richard Snell, a repeat customer of ours and his buddy Jim Silvia, down from San Jose, California joined Ramon and Juan for a day aboard TantRum. Before they even left the office in the morning, they mentioned wanting to get back out on the water for another day of fishing. I guess they had a good feeling, and they were right. They caught 8 Yellowfin and 1 Dorado. And yes, they are headed back out. After relaxing tomorrow, they are headed back out on Wednesday.
Dan Armijo and his family, down from Peralta, California, fished with us today aboard Rum Runnin with Captain Javier and Mate Americo. Everyone got to catch and fish and Dan even got to catch a Marlin! They finished the day with 5 Tuna, 1 nice Wahoo and 1 Marlin.
Kris Kartens and his crew from Bryan, Texas (Aggie country) joined us for a day aboard El Nuevo RedRum today with Captain Alex and Manuel. They had a nice day on the water catching 4 nice Yellowfin Tuna. While they pitched bait to countless Marlin, it was the late day, final cast to a tailing Marlin that finally did the trick. One thing I love about our crews is that tey love to fish! They won't pass by a Marlin that the client doesn't see just because the trip is scheduled to be over. They did what they had to do, and they got Kris and his crew a nice Catch and Release Striped Marlin.

A little behind on the blog, busy packing fish!!
Sorry to have gotten a little behind on the fish reports folks, I know you have all been anxiously awaiting the latest and greatest.
Fish are still close to the Marina with the boats fishing anywhere from a 1 to 5 miles offshore. All the Marlin, Tuna, Dorado and Wahoo are in the same area so folks are coming back with some nice mixed bags.
James Stratten and Josephine Folino from Manhatten Beach, California joined Ramon and Juan on TantRum today for a day chasing Marlin. The Tuna are biting like crazy, but James wanted to focus on Marlin. They pitched bait to 4 or 5 different Marlin but couldn't get a bite, they did however finish the day with 2 Yellowfin.
Jake Edens and Yousef Afgher treated their ladies Krisitine and Kelly to a day on the water today with Javier and Americo on Rum Runnin. (More like the ladies allowed them to have a day on the water, but whose keeping score?) This crew was down from Seattle, Washington and we sent them away with some awesome Tuna steaks for when they get tired of Salmon. They had an epic day catching their limit of Tuna, 12, a small Dorado and a 100lb catch and release Marlin.

Strong Winds
Today Cabo is experiencing strong winds around 15 mph which are causing the very rough waves and seasickness, a bit odd for this time of year and it's funny that it seems to have a pattern one day no wind, the next day strong winds, then no wind and so on so forht. I guess tomorrow it will be better.
Some customers came in this morning from Arizona and they were like it has been very cold since we got here this is nothing compared to Arizona! I can imagine, today it was VERY cold in the morning, and as the morning passed, the sun decided to show its face but the winds remained.
Today we only had 2 boats out and our fishing was done mostly on the Sea of Cortez, this is because the Pacific is too wild!
On our 33' Nuevo, Captain Alex and Mate Manuel went out with Brian Ladin and his crew who decided to switch from a full day to a half day. They left the Marina at about 11 AM and came back a bit early becuase it was too rough out there. Of course this didn't stop them from catching and releasing a Striped Marlin. This was all they caught and that's not bad for only a few hours of fishing and considering the weather, I can say they did great!
Another big party of 7 was John Devine and his people. They decided to go out for a full day on the 42' Pescado III and enjoy a day all together on the boat instead of taking different boats. There day was not bad either as they came back with 2 Striped Marlin and 6 yellowfin. Awesome guys!
Hopefully tomorrow the weather will be much more different and we won't have anybody get sick while out with our guys!

Jimbo "The Marlin Master" Carmouche!
Howdy peeps!
It's been a couple of days since I last wrote the fish report. Sorry things get a bit busy more often, which is cool with us, but sometimes this doesn't allow me to post the reports after the boats come back....just be a bit patient with me ok? Thank you so much, I appreciate it.
But now, let get you that 411 you've been waiting for...........So... lets go back in time.....Yes, back to June 1st, 2010........... tada!!!
Today was a very warm day, a bit chilly in the morning but hot during the afternoon with temerature being 92F while waves were chest high and a bit rough...ahhh but this did not stop all are good professional and non professional fishermen to stop their day o' fun! Seasickness??? pop some dramamine or scopace and voila!
On this day we did very good with yellowfin tuna, ok with Dorado and won the lottery with, another successful story, a 180 Lb Marlin caught, reeled in and released by another member of the Carmouche Party!!! These guys were on a role!!!!!
Tunas were very co-operative, we caught a total of 28 and we only had 3 boats out. Not bad huh?
So the day began like this.........(time warp!!!!)
Jim Gobbi and crew members John, Steve, Tyler, Jordan and Kato came fishing with us for a full day. Their trip was planned ahead a long time ago by Julie. These guys are staying above the redrum office so there were here just in time. It would've been funny if they would've been the last ones to arrive or be very late, but fortunately they didn't.
They went off on the 32' RumRunnin and while being escorted to the boat by Mate Americo, their ladies were saying goodbye, taking pictures and wishing them goodluck from the balcony that has the Marina view. They fished with Captain Javier and came back with 9 Yellowfin Tuna the biggest being around 30 Lbs. and 1 Dorado. SHARP guys! great job!
Dustin & Elizabeth Dorsey also fished with us on this day. They went out on the 28' ReelRum with Captain Jesus and Mate Edgar. They went out for a full day on the Pacific side and their catch through out the day were 7 yellowfin. Like I said earlier, tunas were being good players! Nicely done you guys.
The last group to go out on this day were once again the Carmouche's. This was also their last trip with RedRum and last night staying at the Portofino Condos. These fellas came back with 12 Tuna and (drum roll.......) a 180 Lb. Striped Marlin!!!! Guess who reeled it in this time....No, not 17 yr old Hunter but his Father Jimbo! I can see where hunter got his skills from he has a great mentor!...no wonder.
Jim faught this marlin for a few minutes before the Marlin decided to lets say...take the day off. It was quite an experience and we are glad to name Jim the new Marlin Master. The marlin was a good fighter but Jim played the right card! Great job Jimbo. The rest of the crew were cheering for Jim as he faught this monster fish! In the end they all came back to the office to get their fish frozen up and vaccum seeled. You can imagine...the office was loud! LOL I am a person who talks very loud and with all the good vibes and excitement they came back with, well this got me on a roll!
Unfortunately the Carmouche party had to say "hasta la vista baby" to Cabo yesterday and we really hope they decide to come again and have another awesome trip and pass on the legacy to another member of their Royal Partaaayy!
Thanks guys for the awesome attitude, it was my pleasure meeting you all and hope to do it again soon.
June 2nd, 2010:
Yesterday we also had a regular customer Paul Gaske fishing with us for a half day trip on a Panga and came back with 5 yellowfin and 1 roosterfish. This nice fella already knew everything he had to do and what he would except...so my morning speel was not even necessary.....My whole "you have to hold on to the fishing licenses. When you get on the boat the mate will ask for them and hand them over to the port Cap..........STOP! He's a regular.....the man knows this stuff already! but it was actually the first time I had met him. Of course he did not tell me to stop or shut me up he was very polite but he seemed anxious to go out, so I had to cut my speel shorter than usual. LOL. He had a great time out there with Carlos. I guess I will be seeing him more often!
Thank you all for reading and thank you for liking my reports. It's nice to hear people actually make comments when the walk into the office! "You're the guy who writes the reports" "you write just the way you talk" "You do a good job" 'Keep em comin'" and so I will! =)
Have an awesome day my friends!

Hunter Carmouche: The Marlin Tamer!
Hi again,
Today's fishing was up and down again. It's rough out there and everybody said that the guys did their best, but fish decided not to bite. We did have 2 successful stories though, one of them includes a 17 yr old buddy who reeled in his first striped marlin. I will give details further ahead.
The marina has been very lonely today, not much action or activity going on, but hopefully it will start picking up by tomorrow. I am guessing it's because many people decided not to travel for this memorial day weekend???? who knows.
Any how, Our first group includes a party of 6 aboard Rum Runnin with Captain Javier and mate Americo. This was Shelby Posner, Ernest, Hunter, William, Harry, Andrew and Matt. These guys started off with some offshore fishing on the pacific side but decided to stick to doing some inshore fishing because someone on board got a bit seasick. But this did not stop the guys from continuing their search for big fish and by the end of their trip they came back with a 25 Lb. Yellowfin. Not too bad, considering the waves, winds and all! They decided to bring the fish back with them and get it cooked up later tonight and have a nice "cena" (dinner) Thank you guys for coming!
Our second group is the Carmouche Party. and the words that pop into my head when I think of them are 2: Awesome gentlemen. I met them yesterday while I was checking them into the Portofino Condo. They are all very down to earth and very nice guys. and today was a lucky day as they came back with Yellowfin and a 150 Lb. Marlin. But this Marlin has a story behind it....You see, the Carmouche's were accompanied by Jimbo's 17 yr old son and Jim's oldest grandson Hunter.
This buddy reeled in the 150 Lb Marlin all on his own and it only took him 30 mins! Great going!
Jim Carmouche, Jimbo, Charlie, Pete and Friend Lloyd Fisher witnessed Hunter catch the 150 Lb Striped Marlin all on his own and his very first!
Too bad they didn't do the old bucket trick! hunter, you have no idea how hard it is to reel in a bucket! That's what the guys did to me when I first worked here. You can say my Cherry was popped in the ocean! LOL
Anyhow, these guuys had a great time today and they are really looking forward to do this again on Tuesday!.
Let's see how they do then!
Thanks for reading!
