Sunday's Marlin Bite was Incredible

Typical to a Sunday in Cabo, things are pretty slow around here. Folks are either heading to the airport or sleeping off a long first night in Cabo. Well, we did have a few folks that managed to make it down to the docks and onto the boats for a day on the water.

William Shiver was back on the water for day two with his son Nathan and his buddy, Tylor. After only 1 Marlin on day 1, it was time to get the other guys hooked up and Javier and Americo on Rum Runnin' were up for the challenge. Day 2 was excellent for the guys as they each got to pull on a Marlin. With 3 Striped Marlin, catch and releases, they had a great day on the water.

Keith and Dana Conway, down from Newark, Deleware enjoyed their first of 3 days on the water. Hopefully. Keith just had back surgery 8 weeks ago and things aren't exactly healing quickly. Well, it's a good thing Dana was aboard El Nuevo RedRum with him today, because Alex and Manuel got into the Marlin pretty good. Keith and Dana each caught and released 2 Striped Marlin for a total of 4 Marlin. That's not going to help the Back much, hopefully Alex and Manuel can put them on some Dorado or schoolie size Tuna on day 2.

Nice Cabo, Nice Fish!

Hi there people! what's happening? Here in Cabo we are having a nice hot day, smooth seas and great fishing!

Before I begin with the fish report I just want to clarify something. An annonymous person posted a comment on our fish report on July 12th where they make it seem that we kill billfish to get them mounted and that we sell the meat. In my fish report for July 9th I said that a person had mounted their marlin, but that doesn't mean that we actually killed it. There is no way that anybody here in Cabo can get skin mounts they are all made out of fiberglass and are all replicas. We appreciate the concern of this person as we, too, encourage the release of all billfish and we certainly do not sell any fish.

With that being said, we wouldn't want someone's misunderstanding of our reports to cause any doubts on our company's honesty and reputation.

On another note and back to the fish report, David Schulte fished for his second day aboard our 33' Nuevo yesterday. The guys had a great time out there and were completely satisfied with their whole Play & Stay package they purchased. During their second trip they caught a total of 3 Marlin, 1 Yellowfin Tuna and 1 Dorado. The billfish were caught just 2 miles offshore. They didn't even have to go out that far to catch their fish! Nice job folks. I hope to see you real soon.

Kevin and Roger Wallingford wen't out on the 28' ReelRum along with Captain Jesus and Mate Edgar. Their day started off a bit slow but got better as it went by. They fished on the Sea of Cortez side and by the end of the day, their score was 2 Dorado and 1 Marlin. They had an awesome time out there and came off the boat with a big smile on their face! That is something we are grateful for! We love to see our customers come back with a smile on their face and just happy that everything wen't well.

Jacob and Maisie Hargett fished on our 32' RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Americo for a full day. Their trip was a successful one as they ended up with 2 Marlin and 1 Sailfish. This is the first Sailfish for this month! Great Job guys!

Today Rachel Coward and her party of 8 decided to give the Baja Waters a try. They wen't out on Pescado III and were very excited about their trip. Things got better when they started spotting a school of Marlin by the 1150 bank. They managed to reel in 2 Marlin one of them being 90" and the other being 60". Great going, hope to see you all next year!

Jeremy Hodge from Oklahoma decided to go SOLO on his fishing trip. He went out on 28' ReelRum. His final score for today was 2 Dorado and 1 Striped Marlin. He is thinking about fishing on Sunday as well to continue with his luck! Thanks Jeremy, hopefully you decide to join us again.

From Nebraska we had Paul Kolkman and his crew, who are down here for a wedding, fish on our 33' Nuevo. This group is down here for a wedding that will take place tomorrow. Congratulations to both the bride and groom to be, we hope they all had a great day out there. Their final number was 1 Marlin.

Thanks for reading.

Successful Fishing!

Good Morning people.

Hope all is fine. We've been so busy here these last few days. Like I once said in one of our fish reports, starting July it becomes a ver busy time for RedRum, but we don't complain, it just doesn't give us time to write fish reports on a daily basis. We've had great days, Marlines, Dorado and Tuna is what has been biting the most, you might spot a couple of rooster fish, hammerhead sharks and Wahoos, but they are not biting too well right now.

On Tuesday our final scoreboard was 4 Striped Marlin on Nuevo, 2 Striped Marlin on RumRunnin and 1 Rooster fish on a panga. The Rooster fish was probably the last one in Cabo, LOL. This isn't their prime season, so it's really hard to catch them right now.

Yesterday we had a great day. The weather has been awesome, sea temperature has been 80F, winds have been 7 mph and there has been plenty of sunshine which means we have had success with fish!

On ReelRum we had Jill Whitney, Kim Noland, John Whitney and Daniel from Shreveport, Lousiana fishing for a full day. Super Cool folks with an awesome attitude to go out there and have a great time. Captain Jesus and Mate Edgar, worked very hard in finding the fish, using different techniques and getting these guys involved in the whole fishing experience. By the end of the day they had reeled in 3 Tuna and 1 Dorado. Nice job guys! glad you had a great / fun time. Afterwards they were heading off to Hacienda Cantina to get their fish cooked up for lunch. Hope they enjoyed it!

Robert Mitchell, from Texas, fished on his second day aboard RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mates Americo and Juan. On their first day they came back with 1 Rooster fish. Yesterday they came back with 4 Dorado. Hope these guys had a great time out there!

And last but not least Representing the 707 down from San Francisco we had newly weds Alex and Shara Jubilado fishing on the 33' Nuevo. My peeps from San Fran had an awesome time out in the water with Captain Omar and Mates Manuel & Ramon. Then ended up with 1 Striped Marlin and 2 Dorado. The Marlin was 92" while the Dorados were 46". Great Job guys!

We have been fishing on the Sea of Cortez side, that's where the hot spots are. Especially between the 95 and the 1105 banks. On another note guys, plane ticket from San Diego to Los Cabos is only $215 USD!! that is one great price, so get on line and come relax in Cabo, while fishing with RedRum! The offer is available from July 15th - 31st so hurry and book your flight now! Good Morning people.

Pics!

In the first pic you see Ronnie posin' next to the Striped Marlin caught on his day out in the water! Nice pic Ron.


















These last 3 pictures were sent by Gregory Jackson who caught 2 Dorado a male and female. The male dorado weighed 70 Lbs and female Dorado weighed 50! Nice job guys! THanks for the pics.







Hey Peeps! 5 Marlin, 7 Yellowfin and 4 Dorado!

Hey people,

Busy, Busy, Busy, we've been so busy we haven't had time to sit down and write the fish report for these past days. That means there's a lot of fun going on here in Cabo...can't blame people for coming, we've got awesome hot weather. Time to get out of the rainy spots back in the U.S and come to Cabo where it's hot, not humid and the sea temperature is 80F! which means there are "plenty of fish in the sea"

So just a quick recap:

Yesterday we had Brian Jurgensen and Cassandra Milles fish aboard the 28' ReelRum. They were with Captain Jesus and Mate Edgar and fished along the sea of cortez. All of our fishing has been done mostly towards San Jose. After coming in almost every day to ask about what are catch had been, Brian finally decided to give it a try. Lucky folks reeled in a 140 Lb Striped Marlin which got mounted. Brian and Cassandra left the office very pleased with the whole experience.

Tony Wille fished two days. And just like the group above, they reeled in a 150 Lb Striped Marlin. These folks fished on the 7th aboard Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel and yesterday they fished on Tantrum. Very nice people. Glad they enjoyed the trip

Robert Pletka has been fishing for 2 days and there are 2 days left. His trip is a 4 day fishing adventure. Glad he chose RedRum as his host! So far his score board is set to 1 Striped Marlin and 1 Dorado. We will see how they do tomorrow and Sunday. Lets hope he reels in more and more fish!!! Thanks Bob.

A San Jacinto CCA party of 5 came on their first day of fishing. These guys from Texas, Gabriel, Jim, Gilbert, Fidel and Dino went out for a full day and came back with 2 tuna. Their second day out in the water might be a bit different as they were thinking about just going to chill rather than to fish. We'll see how that ends up!

On Anzuelo we had Michael Marucs. These guys reeled in 2 Marlin and 2 Dorado. Were really considering mounting their Marlin but decided not to do it. They were visiting from London and Australia. They were very pleased with the whole service and experience. Maybe they'll send more people from the other side of the world this way, eh?

Bob Wingo and his party of 11 went out on Fearless and had a great time. They began their journey around 8 and after a half day of fishing, reeled in 5 Tuna and 1 Dorado. Bob is a very nice guy, jokes around a lot, but still that makes the day so much easier. Thanks Bob!

And thank you all for reading.

They fished aboard Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel who did a superb job in catching fish. They did a total of 4 Striped Marlin and 1 Dorado!!! good good!!!! The Rieger's will be leaving tomorrow and heading back to their hometown. Hope they enjoyed their "Play and Stay" package as much as we enjoyed being their host.

6 Marlin 8 Dorado!

Nick here again with information on our fishing results from yesterday.
Awesome day out by the Sea of Cortez and fishing got really good. We had 4 boats and most of our customers were from Texas and Iowa.

Sea temperature was 79F, and we had a hot 97F day. Cabo Skies were clear, a bit cloudy in the morninging but plenty of sunshine from 8 AM to sunset.

Our First group was with Brandon Emory, Christie Humphries and Farrah Momayezi. These folks fished aboard RumRunnin and their expectations were to catch Marlin and Dorado....MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! then came back to the office after their trip was over with 1 Marlin and 3 Dorado. The trip was meant to be. They had an awesome time and praiased the service. Can't wait 'til they'll come back soon!

On Tantrum we had another great fishing story, and although we didn't hear it directly from them, Preston Springer and Joe Hundt went out on a full day trip aboard the 28' Californian. As the boat was heading back to the Marina I saw a lot of flags hanging and I was like...wow! this is the lucky group who caught the most fish today! They reeled in 3 striped Marlin and 3 Dorado. These guys are enjoying Cabo, they just got here a couple of nights ago. Maybe they'll try some more fishing?

CCA member Scott Rieger and his crew Jennifer, Angela, Shane and Ronnie are enjoying a nice 4 night stay at the Portofino Condo and 2 days of fishing with the best company in town...US of course! on their first day of fishing, 1 Marlin was the result of a hard day of work. Tomorrow they will be going out on their last day before they head back to their hometown. Hopefully more fish will be on the menu for them.

Ed Gomes from Iowa and his Son Chris went out for a full day on RedBeam and after a nice 8 hours of fishing came back to the office to let me know they had a great time with Cesar and Ramon. Their catch consisted of 1 Striped Marlin. Nice guys!, don't forget to go to Todos Santos, the place I told you about.

Today we have 4 boats out, lets see how they do out in this big ocean.
Write to you soon!
