Can we find the Tuna again today?

After yesterday's unbelievable Tuna bite, they boys were heading back out to see if they could find that big school of hungry fish again. Let's see how they did.

Nikki Chadwick and Thad Fird are repeat customers down from Harrisburg, North Carolina. They searched and searched today, but could not find the school that was out about 25 miles yesterday, but they did get a couple of random Tuna bites. They finished the day with two Yellowfin.

Brian Bjorge and his wife Shelley, from Scottsdale, Arizona are here celebrating the wedding of their daughter Brooke, who is a friend of my wife, Brooke. Brian and Shelley joined Ramon and Cesar aboard Red Beam and they had an awesome day. They finished the day with 1 Dorado, 2 Yellowfin, and a nice 150lb Catch and Release, Striped Marlin.

James Waugh was back for his second day on the water and he had a phenominal day aboard ReelRum. Jesus was able to find a small school of Tuna, landing 6 fish, and they also caught and released a Marlin and added a nice Dorado as well. Best wishes to James' friends who weren't able to make it down to Cabo this year. Hopefully, we will see you in the near future.

Sunday Tuna Session

The boys found the Tuna today everyone! They had to go about 25 miles out before they found the big school, but once they did the action was non-stop on all the boats. Everyone had their limit today and there were some big fish in the school as well. They biggest fish was well over 100lbs and it hit on a colored Cedar Plug.

Julie and David Cooper from Harvey, California had a great day with Javier and Americo on Rum Runnin'. They were the first one's to find the school and they had action for hours with double and triple Yellowfin hook-ups. They finished the day with over 12 Tuna, releasing the majority of them.

Brandi and Gary Hollis from Lincoln, California joined Juan and Ramon on TantRum today and they got into the Tuna as well. Brandi and Gary each were able to fight a ton of fish with over 12 Tuna making their way to the boat as well.

Brian Gibler and his buddies, Dorman Fawley and Richard Levy had the most luck today out in the school of Tuna. They fished with Jesus and Manuel on El Nuevo RedRum. Jesus has been filling in for Captain Alex the last few days because Alex has had his hands full at home with two new baby girls. Congrats to Alex on the healthy twins and congrats to the guys on Nuevo today with more than 15 Tuna. Brian was the "lucky" guy today with the Big Fish of the Day, a Yellowfin that weighed in at over 130lbs. Brian fought this fish for over an hour and they got some beautiful filet't to bring back home.

Congratulations Captain Alex!

Good Morning Peeps!

Most of you might know Captain Alex who is always ready to take you off on a fantastic fishing experience aboard the 33' Bertram El Nuevo. Well yesterday, after 9 long months his wife gave birth to two little healthy babby girls! All us of at RedRum want to congratulate Alex for "reeling" in those little babies to the world!

Alex's wife had been deeling with some pregnancy problems for the last couple of months, but yesterday after a long wait, the baby girls finally arrived and very healthy, we still don't know what their names are, we'll have to wait for Alex to come back from his week off to let us know all the details! Lets all congratulate Alex for this wonderful news!

Yesterday's fishing was great, We had one customer come in and say that he's never seen the pacific so smoothe. And it's true, even though the pacific side was a bit choppy the last couple of weeks, yesterday it seemed to get back to normal.

It was a warm day out there! So people, if you have an upcoming trip I strongly suggest that you bring sunblock lotion.

From Texas we had Randy Boyd and his crew from CCA. These guys fished aboard El Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel. After a full day of fishing they caught 1 Dorado. Hopefully they'll have better luck today while they're out on their second trip.

Another couple from Texas, Christopher Pace and Jodi Hicks, decided to go out on a half day aboard a Panga. They had a great time and caught 2 bonitas. Very nice couple, came in the office with a big smile and left with an even bigger smile. We make it happen!

And last but not least we had a new friend from San Francisco!! Whoo Hoo.....
I (heart) SF...as you may probably already know, I am from San Francisco so it gets me all excited to see people from my hometown. Dutch and Sharleen Haarsma along with their little boys who were 4 and 2 yrs of age went out for a full day on ReelRum with Captain Jesus and Mate Edgar. Their final score was 2 Striped Marlin (both C/R)
One of them weighed 130 Lbs and the other 90Lbs, they also reeled in 3 Dorado and 1 bonita.

So it wasn't all that bad, it was great! Thank you all for fishing with us =0)

On Another note we are about to go live with our new website and reservation system, this is something we've all been working with for the last few months, the going live date is still pending but I am sure it will be in the next couple of days. Make sure to check out our website and check out the new design!

Thanks People!

Another Blue Marlin

Good Morning everyone,

Hope you are all having a fantastic mid week! Time is going by so fast lately, or is it just my imagination?

Yesterday's catch was a total of 1 Blue Marlin (170Lbs), 2 Striped Marlin (180 - 190 Lbs), 2 Tuna (60 Lbs) and 1 Hammerhead Shark.

We had customers from Atlanta, Houston, Canada, New York, California, and Cabo! Weather was great, 96F, sea temperature 80F, winds blowing at 9 mph and waves 5 ft high. It was a good day out there. We had a full moon last night, I don't believe in the whole "Moon Theory" but some people do, will see how fishing goes today.

On the 28' ReelRum, we had Bob Eger who came in on the Cruise Ship along with his family Mark, Justin and Linda. These nice folks from California reserved a spot on RedRum's boat a while back. They went out with Captain Jesus and Mate Edgar for a half day of fishing...had to be on the boat by 6 PM Cruise time, and before heading back, they wanted to do some shopping. By the end of their trip they had caught and released (C/R) 1 Striped Marlin. Glad to meet you guys at the main dock!

Another group that I met yesterday at the main dock was David Sproule and his crew Harrison, Christopher and Edwin. These guys from Canada and New York went out for half a day on the 32' RedBeam along with Captain Cesar and Mate Ramon. By the end of their trip Harrison had C/R and Hammerhead shark, some of the guys got a bit drowsey, but managed to enjoy the trip! Glad to hear ya'll had fun!

James Alexci and Chris Marrus from Atlanta and Houston fished for a full day on El Nuevo along with Captain Omar and Mate Juan and Manuel. These guys C/R 1 Striped Marlin through out their day of fishing. Had a great time, and Captain and Mates came back to the office to say these guys were great! I really didn't get a chance to talk to them after they had finish ed their fishing trip, but I am sure they had an awesome time out in the Southern Baja Waters! Thanks Guys!

And Last but not Least we had Alvaro from Cabo San Lucas taking a full day trip on RumRUnnin with his buddies from Sinaloa, Mexico. They were out with Captain Javier and Mate Americo and ended up with 1 Blue Marlin which weighed 170 Lbs and 2 Yellowfin Tuna. This is the third Blue Marlin of the year guys, which means they are getting closer!

Thanks for reading.

Case of the Monday's!

As if Monday's weren't bad enough right? My customers from yesterday that re-scheduled due to the rain, re-scheduled for today and once again did not show up. This time without so much as a phone call to let us know. One bad apple isn't going to spoil this bunch though, the folks that did show up had a great day on the water.

Jason Sanford and his buddies from Idaho had a nice day on the water aboard ReelRum today. They didn't bring in any monsters, but they did finish the day with 3 nice Dorado and a Jack Crevalle.

The Roach clan, from Louisiana fished with us today aboard Pescado III. Captain Fidencio found a big school of Porpoise and Tuna but couldn't get any fish to strike. With a chef waiting back at their house, they needed something for the grill and luckily came back closer to shore and got into some Dorado. They also trolled the shoreline late in the day and got a real nice Rooster fish that was in the 40lb class.

Ken and Dawn Foster from Oshkosh, Wisconsin were down with their two kids, Ashley and Matt and they had a nice day on the water aboard El Nuevo RedRum. While they only caught and released 1 Marlin, they had a lot of action throughout the day and had a blast. They pitched bait to at least 4 other fish, and had a whole school of Dorado striking lures and bait, unfortunately no hook-ups though.

Slow Sunday with RAIN!!!

Can't remember the last time that we had rain in July, but as I left the house this morning, it was raining pretty good. I know this is probably second nature for most of you readers, but considering we get about 5 rainy days a year, it was really interesting for us. By the time I got to the office things had subsided and by 7:30am it was completely clear skies!

I certainly won't name names, but we had one group that backed out of their charter because of the weather. I can't imagine not wanting a little sprinkle to cool things off while on the water in July, but to each their own.

The Unger family didn't back down, hell no. They were going fishing come hell or high water, no pun intended. Dean, Dale, Zach and Jacob had three generations of fishermen out there today! Grandfather, Father and his two sons, how cool. I mentioned to the boys how many people would have loved to have been able to fish with their grandfather. The Unger guys were amazed at how quickly they hooked up once they got to the fishing grounds, catching and releasing a nice Striped Marlin within the first hour. They also had a nice Dorado and a Tuna before the day was done.

Wow guys, today was such a great day! All our boats came back with fish, no one got skunked, no one got seasick, and the best part one of our group had alrady caught and released 4 Marlins before 8 AM! EXCELLENT!!!

We also C/R a Blue Marlin and a Sailfish aside from the other 6 Striped Marlin caught on our boats.

We had 5 boats out today:

John Myres from the CCA group in Texas came fishing for the second and last day. They brought back 12 Dorados and 4 Tuna. Yesterday they C/R a Sailfish. Today John and Hunter decided to go out instead of the whole group. They did an awesome job and had a great time.

On RedBeam Sandra Haut and her family enjoyed a nice 8 hour trip with Captain Cesar and Mate Ramon, they caught the 2nd Blue Marlin of the year. It weighed 160 Lbs. This monday was also the first time we caught a Black Marlin so this means they are coming in guys! Nice Work Sandy & Fam.

Dave Hughes....All I can say is that this guy is going to leave Baja without any fish!, this is his second day of fishing with his son. It was a father-son trip. This group caught 6 Dorado, 1 tuna 1 Marlin (C/R) yesterday and today they did 2 tuna, 5 Dorado, 1 Sailfish (C/R) and 1 Hammerhead. Our freezers are stuffed with their catch..Nice Dave, glad you had an awesome time. It Only took Dave's 12 yr old son 10 min to reel in the Marlin caught yesterday!

Ted and Lew did another day of fishing. These guys came back to the office on Wednesday and since they had a great time, they decided to do it all over again. Once again they were out on Anzuelo with captain Salvador and before 8 AM they had already catched and released 4 striped Marlin! the biggest one being 10 ft! NICE!!! I know we have gain another loyal customer for the years to come.

Last but not least Corson Lawrence from Dallas, went out for a half day on the 31' Fishtails, they ended up C/R 2 Striped Marlin which weighed 80 Lbs. They wen't fishing by the 95 bank and the Cabeza de Ballena Bank (Whale's Head Bank)

All of our fishing took place on the Sea of Cortez, around 40 miles up from San Lucas towards Los Frailes.
