Alex's Twins!
As many of you know, Captain Alex and his wife recently had twin baby girls.
Here is a shot of the two cuties!
Nice and Calm today...
After some swells yesterday that came with the Low Pressure System today looks to be a beautiful day on the water. A little overcast and no one is going to complain about that in August in Cabo!
Low Pressure System in the Cortez
Well, we've had a low pressure system sitting in the Sea of Cortez/Pacific for the past few days and it has made for some bumpy rides out to the fishing grounds, but the swells are really only effecting the coastal waters. Most of our anglers have shared the same sentiment, once you get to banks, things really start to calm down.
The Blue and Black Marlin bite is still very strong right now with lots of Blue's in the 200-300lb class being caught and released. Just yesterday, Joseph Giladi and his family from Los Angeles joined Javier and Manuel on El Nuevo and they had a Blue that Alex estimated at 250lbs. The Giladi's were a little disappointed that they couldn't get the big fish onto the stern of the boat for a photo, but when you are dealing with a fish of that size, anything can happen. Javier said the fish was still a little "green" when it came to the side of the boat and for the safety of the fish and the anglers they decided against a family portrait.
Keil Strickland and his lovely wife Tiffany, my good friends from TCU were down to fish with us recently as well. They fished with Captain Ramon on TantRum and had a good day on the water. Keil had one thing on his mind and that was Marlin. The boys found a few fish tailing the surface of the water and pitched bait to several fish before getting a hook-up. Keil lost the first battle as the Striped Marlin spit the hook, but 15 minutes later they raised another Marlin and had a good hook set and Keil landed his first Marlin. Congrats Keil and thanks for releasing that fish to fight another day.
Scott and Kim Perry of Victoria, Texas had a great second day of action earlier in the week with 3 Striped Marlin, all caught and released. Captain Ramon on TantRum is on a serious hot streak with the Marlin right now. He had 4 Blue Marlin hook-ups in one day last week and is riding that hot streak as long as he can.

Sunday!
Hola everyone!
Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend. Once again we apologize for the delay on getting this report out, we appreciate your patience. We've been a bit short staffed during a busy time.
Here's the latest and greatest of what has been getting pulled in!
We had Aaron Huebner from Aurora, Colorado and Navid from Ladera Ranch, California head out on RumRunnin on August 14th and 15th. On Saturday they caught 1 small Tuna and a nice Blue Marlin. Today wasn't too bad either. With a bit of rain in the a.m. it cooled things off weather wise here in Cabo. They headed out to the 1150 point about 10-15 miles from there, they came back with about a 25lb Dorado as well as a Striper. Not too bad at all, nice to get some variety over the 2 days. It was a bit choppy today but didn't stop these two!
Saturday the 14th Keith & Brian Linton from California headed out on TantRum. They had some suerte out on the water reeling in one Dorado that they decided to pack up and bring home with them. They fought a Striped Marlin but lost it in the end.
The crew on ReelRum; Benjamin, David and John Powell from Florida and San Diego headed out with ReelRum. They were stoked to reel in 2 Marlin! And I wanted to be sure to tell all you readers that the Gulf of Mexico in their neck of the woods is open for fishing as of last week! Don't forget about visiting Florida, they've been hit hard.
On El Nuevo Saturday the 14th, David, Tom, Robert and Frank all from New Jersey had a great 2nd day on the water. They reeled in 2 Marlin and 2 Dorado!
Taylor, Paul and Roman from Kansas City headed out on Grey Light on the 14th. Ulysses did a great job of getting them into some Dorado, they were able to reel in 2 of them.
And last but not least for Saturday, John Southard and his crew headed out with Cabo Chica. They were able to reel in 1 Striped Marlin and 1 Dorado for the day.
Now for the rest fishing this great Sunday...
The friendly Blessing group from Ft. Worth, Texas (GO FROGS!) headed out with El Nuevo. They had fish on their minds. They went out past the 1150 and saw quite a few jumping Marlin but just couldn't get any of them to bite. Thanks for understanding friends that that's all a part of fishing.
We had the super nice couple with their Southern charm hailing from Victoria, Texas, Kim and Scott Perry. They went out on Tantrum fishing about 10-15 miles past the 1150 (that's about 32 miles from Cabo folks!) They were able to reel in a nice Striped Marlin as well as a yummy looking Dorado. Kim is excited to go back to her favorite restaurant that she remembers from last year tomorrow night... Misiones de Kino. They are ready for more fishing tomorrow!
Well we once again thank you for your patience with our delayed report. Please keep Nick's mom in your prayers!
Happy Sunday everyone.

Prayers...
You may have noticed in my earlier post that we are short staffed right now. Nick Lopez, our wonderful office manager, had to return home to Mexico City for a family emergency. Our thoughts and prayers are with Nick and his family now, and hope you will do the same.
Catching up....
Sorry for the lapse in reports guys, we have been super busy here in the office and a little short staffed as of late. The fishing has been really good lately, with tons of big Marlin making their way into the Cabo waters. This is always the time of year that we start to see lots of big Blue and Black Marlin and it looks like this year will be special. The last week or so we have caught more Blue Marlin than any week since I have been down here. Should make for some interesting tournaments this year.
The bite has been pretty consistent with a few Yellowfin and Dorado each day, and plenty of Marlin. We did have one day earlier this week where the fish weren't biting, and I apologize for to those customers that didn't catch fish, but overall it has been good fishing.
We had Sunday off this past week so I will get you started with Monday's action.
Andy Sherwood and Greg Cook from Fort Worth, Texas joined the guys on ReelRum for a day and it was a memorable one. Andy was up first and he caught a nice Dorado, which was great, but I have a feeling he would have rather given his buddy Greg that first fish. The next bite they got was a serious one, and Greg got into the chair and battled for almost two hours with a monster Marlin. This was Greg's FIRST OFFSHORE STYLE FISHING TRIP and FIRST OFFSHORE FISH (I know that many of you are rolling your eyes in disgust, but be happy for the guy!) The Blue Marlin was estimated at 450lbs and Greg was stoked! Hopefully he is hooked for life and will be coming back to see us soon.
Our Stay and Play customers, the Sanchez's, Dee's and Smith's decided to take the ladies fishing today, and unfortunately the picked the rougher of the two days to do so. They were back by 11am, as some of the ladies weren't feeling great, but they still had a great day, fishing wise. They caught and released 3 Striped Marlin, one almost 10ft. in length, before calling it a day.
Father/Son/Daughter combo's the Goodenough's from San Jose, California and the Klempf's from Jacksonville, Florida each had nice day's on the water with 2 nice Dorado each.
Richard Campbell and Sergio Garcia, from Studio City, California each got to battle with a Striped Marlin today aboard Rum Runnin'. Both fish were caught and released.
Tuesday- Tuesday was a little slow and for some reason the fish weren't cooperating all that well but we had a few boats that did well.
Tray Balke and his girlfriend Maci Massengale from Houston, Texas joined us for a day on Anzuelo and they too were each able to battle a Striped Marlin. Salvador got them hooked up, showed them how it was done, snapped a quick picture for them and released the fish to fight another day.
Steve and Jennilyn Bumpas from Fort Worth, Texas are down on vacation with their two boys Colton and Drew. They joined the crew of Marlin Too today for a half day on the water. They had plenty of action, but not much success. They hooked into a Blue Marlin, a Striped Marlin and a Dorado, but lost all three.
Bad Day for Husband and Wife fishing groups, Eric and Donna Lonadier and Luis and Kristine Mitjans each came back empty handed today. I know the crews worked their butts off, sometimes the fish just don't cooperate.
The Zoellner's, Tom, Tommy and Artum, fished with Javier for half a day today on Rum Runnin. They had several hook-ups but managed only 1 catch and release Marlin.
Wednesday- Fish woke up after a slow day and action was back!
Jacob Bazella and his crew were down from Minnesota and Telluride, Colorado enjoying his timeshare for a week. They decided to get a day of fishing in and they had a nice day on the water catching a real nice Dorado and a 200+lb Blue Marlin.
Jim Rodriguez and his crew down from Los Angeles, California got into the Dorado with Ulyses on Grey Light and they landed 3 nice fish. One for each person on board.
Jon Meyers who is a repeat RedRummer, showed Daniel and Margaret Valles from Richmond, Texas how it is done. They fished with Javier aboard ReelRum and they caught and released a nice Blue Marlin estimated at over 200lbs.
Steward Mills was back at it again yesterday after getting skunked the first day out. He was certainly rewarded on day 2 with Javier and Americo getting a real nice Dorado and a Striped Marlin.
