Sunday Sportfishing

Sunday was a beautiful day in Cabo and when El Nuevo got back in the afternoon, it looked like things had really picked up out on the water. Water temps were in the low 70's on the Pacific and in the high 70's on the Sea of Cortez.

We had two boats out today, Larry and Garry Bartgis on TantRum and Doug Drennan's crew on El Nuevo RedRum.

Larry and Garry were looking for action of any type, but were interested in starting the day off with some Rooster fishing. Ramon and Juan were their Captain and Mate for the day and they got into the Roosters early. After hooking a nice 25lb Rooster right off the bat, they had a hard time getting any more fish to bite. Larry and Garry thought, as most anglers would, that they were set for a great day on the water with such an early hook-up. Unfortunately, the Roosters didn't cooperate and neither did the Marlin, Tuna, and Dorado the rest of the day.

Douglas Drennan and his guys from Louisiana, enjoying one of our Stay and Play Packages, had their second day on the water today and they had an awesome day. The guys got into the fish early and often and everyone got some time on the rod and reel. They finished the day with 2 catch and release Marlin, 2 Dorado, and 4 Yellowfin Tuna. They headed over to Solomon's Landing to get the fish cooked into an amazing dinner.

Welcome Baja Brigade: Adam, Adan & Jonathan

Hi guys!
an early Happy Father's Day to all those dad's out there! I hope you all have an awesome day tomorrow with your loved ones!

Yesterday was a great day here in Cabo, nice hot weather, abundand sunshine, winds were good and the waves were just perfect!

We had 4 boats out yesterday all with awesome people who came fishing from different parts of the States. We had folks from Louisiana, Kentucky, Florida...basically all around! and they all did very good out there!

From CCA Louisiana we had Douglas Drennan along with his pals taking our 33' Nuevo for their first fishing trip out by the Sea Of Cortez where they spotted several fish and reeled in 1 Marlin that our crew said as about 120-130 Lbs. These gentlement will be staying at the Portofino Condos and will be fishing again tomorrow. Maybe they'll reel in even more fish, right?

Scott Gorczyca, Steve, Derrekk and Mr. Williams fished with Captain Omar and Mate Americo on the 32' RumRunnin. Unfortunately one of their members did not make it to their first fishing trip but I am sure he will be included in the second round on Monday. These guys had to walk a lot to get to our office as they were dropped of in another point all the way around the Marina...many of you might remember the Main Dock??? some of you have also walked this road a few times LOL!
During their full day of fishing and after a very awesome day out in Baja Waters, they reeled in a 250 Lbs Marlin...and yes...Scott was tired! it took a while before Mr. Marlin decided to give in.
Let's see how they do on Monday!

GOOOOOOOOOOOO FROGS!!!!!!!! TCU member Matt Voegler came fishing with his crew for a 1/2 day aboard Fish Tails. They were excited about going out on this trip with RedRum and by the end of their 5 hour trip they had a 125 Striped Marlin...SUPER COOL!!! go frogs!

Last but not least we had a shared boat with Mark and Russell Hoppes and Nova and James Connor. These guys wen't out on our 28' Tantrum along with Captain Ramon and Mate Juan. The Hoppes and Connor, together, reeled in a 120 Lbs Marlin. Very good day out there huh?

We striked Marlines yesterday on all our boats! guess that was on the menu! will see how our boats do today.

On RumRunnin we our first group of wounded soldiers from The Baja Brigade program. Adan Garcia, Jonathan Gean and Adam Maloney arrived on June 16th at the San Jose International Airport where Ryan and John Donovan were waiting outside the gate to greet and meet these heroes. They were later taken to the Portofino Condo where they will be staying for the next couple of weeks.

We are very exicted about the Baja Brigade Program and we are really looking forward to doing this again in the future.
The Baja Brigade Program provides wounded veterans and their families with an all expenses paid adventure to Cabo San Lucas Mexico. Attendes will fly to Cabo and stay in a private ocean view condo for four nights while enjoying two days of offshore fishing with RedRum Sportfishing.

This very first group to come to Cabo has been having a wonderful time and John, Ryan and Brooke have entertained the guys a lot!

Today John and Ryan are out fishing with our new friends and we will let you know how they did out there!!!

Support Out Troops!

Not too much to report

Hi Guys,

Today we had a calm day in Cabo. There are a lot of Marlin spotted out there but they are not all biting. We had 2 boats out today but only one of them caught fish.

This day's trip includes a father/son trip "starring" Steve Glass and son Cameron. They went out fishing for a full day with Captain Javier and mate Americo. They fished 30 min away from the Marina out by "Cerro Blanco" aka White Hill. The Marlin was reeled in by Cameron who is around the age of 13 yrs reeled in his first Striped Marlin that weighed 180 Lbs.

Thanks for reading.

four winds

Hey y'all! Hope you're enjoying the weekend wherever you are!
Us here in Cabo could be doing a bit better you know, although we have been catching fish we certainly could be catching more...Does anybody know how we could get rid of the amazingly strong winds??? is there like anything we can do?????

These last couple of days we've been getting hit by very strong winds. It starts out really nice in the morning and you think "Oh cool, today will be an awesome day" little do we know mother nature has other plans in mind!

Once the clock strikes 11:30, better hold on to your hats cause the ride get rough. Waves have been between 5 and 6 ft high and the speed of the winds has been increasing every day reaching up to 24 mph...I know this sounds like nothing but believe me...out there it DOES have an impact.

Our RedRum Sign has already suffered consecuences because of this, it has been falling over and over causing some of the picture frames to break this means that you will be seeing me fixing it up every day and end up just bringing it back inside cause if I kept trying to fix it, I wouldn't be able to get some boats out in the water!!!! =)

No seasickness has been reported these couple of days so we are cool on that side and it makes no difference if we try the Pacific or Sea of Cortez side...winds will catch up!

Yesterday we had 4 boats out in the watern all of which caught fish. This is how they did

On Tantrum for a second day of fishing we had a double father/double son fishing trip. David Kaiser and David Spalinger decided to bring their kids Tyler Spalinger and Zachary Kaiser to Cabo for a graduation fishing trip...how awesome!!!!
Their total number of fish for both days was 1 Marlin and 5 yellowfin Tuna... Don't ask me where because the guys were all over the place looking for fish, so there really isn't an exact hot spot for me to mention.

For their last and second day trip, members of CCA Travis Roy and his crew hopped on Nuevo for their last fishing trip of this month. Their catch on the first day was 1 Tuna and 1 Wahoo while yesterday they only caught 2 Tuna...Not bad, but it could've been better...You know who I blame! I mentioned "it's" speed several times in the lines above.

From the state of Texas we had Clint Dean and his party of 3 fishing aboard RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Americo and after a long day of being outhere and almost a bit bummed out becuase no fish was spotted anywhere did reel in 1 hammerhead.

On their second day fishing but with less crew members we had Cody Walker and the guys fishing on ReelRum. They did great on Thursday but Saturday was not so good to them. They managed to reel in 2 Hammerheads. not bad guys!

So you see, we have been catching fish just not the quantity you'd expect. I have been checking the weather forcast and it seems this upcoming week will get better, stay tunned for more!

Here we are!

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.
