Fresh out the oven!

Morning Peeps,

These pictures just came in! This is Russel Brewster and his crew!

Marlin and Dorado

Hi Guys,

Thanks for reading our reports! Yesterday was an awesome day here in Cabo for both weather and fishing. It was a very hot day, around 96F - 97F but nice! We had success with all 4 boats that went out fishing and every single customer that came back was satisfied with their trip! SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT!!!!!

Dennis Chadwick was out fishing on RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Americo for a full day trip. Dennis and his son Hunter had an awesome day fishing on the Sea of Cortez side and ended up catching and releasing 1 Marlin (180 Lbs) and 1 Dorado. I was telling these guys that the last 2 teenagers named Hunter had caught Marlins and I was pretty sure this 16 yr old was no exception...and so I was right! Nice job guys.

Jeff Wing and Wayne Repard from Fairfield CA, (which is really close to Vallejo...the city where I am from...sigh =0) went fishing with Captain Ramon and Mate Juan aboard the 28' Tantrum. These guys fished the 95 and 1150 bank for most part of the day and even though it started off a bit slow, it started picking up real good as the day went buy. Their total catch were 6 Dorados between 20-40 Lbs. Not bad at all.

Another Dorado reeling couple were Scott and Heather Osterhoudt who fished aboard the 28' ReelRum along with Captain Jesus and Mate Edgar. Just like Tantrum they fished the Sea of Cortez and ended up with a total of 2 Dorado which will be heading back to PA tomorrow morning. Have a safe flight and hope you guys come back soon!

Last but not least we had Miguel Enciso and his family members fish the seas of Baja Cali along with Captain Alex and Mate Omar. This awesome family knows how to rock it here in Cabo. A day before their fishing trip some of the members had gone skydiving and had a blast and their fishing trip was no exception! They caught and released 2 Marlin which weighed 150 Lbs each. They also caught 4 dorados and 1 Bonita. Jennifer enjoyed the trip so much she decided to go out a second day, let's see how she does!

Thanks for reading!

Back in Business!

Hi everybody,

It's good to be back in Cabo and working! Unfortunately I had to leave almost 2 weeks ago after I received an emergency phone call from my family in Mexico City. I just got back this past Friday. Thank you all who have kept my Mom in your prayers. Things are looking a bit better, but we are still waiting for that angioplasty surgery this upcoming Saturday...I am confident that everything will be ok.

After coming back to work on Saturday, I realized I missed out on a lot and it took me a while before I got updated with all the changes in the office...but I am up and about ready for round 2!

That is why I did not post anything for Saturday or Sunday. I was busy "understanding" some things here in the office.

So on Saturday we had Russell Brewster and his 4 friends fishing for a second day on Nuevo with captain Alex and Mate Manuel. These guys had luck on their side throughout their whole trip, I mean a day before they had caught that 50 Lbs Rooster and some other fish and this last day was no exception. They fished on the Sea of Cortez and after their full day of fishing and fun their total count was 1 66' Dorado (Which is probably the biggest I've seen)and a 180" Striped Marlin.

These guys showed me pictures of their catch and I was shocked to see such a big Dorado! I sure hope they send in the picture so we can show it off to everyone!

Mike Fox, who had previously fished a day before on Nuevo, decided to try RumRunnin on this day, and after their full day of fishing they ended up with 4 nice size Dorados. They took some to get it cooked with Cesar the Chef! I personally know this Chef and I know he does a wonderful job with food! Nice guys.
They also fished on the 22nd aboard Nuevo, but they did not have as much luck as previous days.

ReelRum went out on Aug. 22nd for a full day but had no luck out there! I won't say names.....All I know is that Captain Jesus and Mate Edgar tried their hardest out there but the fishies were just not cooperating!

abard Tantrum we had Anny Rodriguez and Alexander Sandoval from Chicago who fished for a full day with Captain Ramon and Mate Juan. This nice couple reeled in a total of 13 Dorado, biggest being between 35-40 Lbs. They took some to a restaurant to get it cooked for the night and left the rest to haul back when they leave to San Francisco. Awesome job guys!

Last but not least we had Michael and Mandi Waldron from Shreveport, LA and their trip was cut short because water was too rough so they decided to head back not before reeling in 3 nice size dorados. They came back by 11 and they had already caught 3 Dorado which means that fish are starting to bite closer and earlier!

P.S. I also want to Thank John, Ryan, Brooke and Randie for always being there when I needed them. Thanks guys! you are my second family!!!!

Wowsa!!

Well it has been an amazing day on the water for RedRum clients today!

We kicked off with the Brewster party enjoying a Stay & Play package at the Portofino Condos. They headed out for their 2nd day on the water aboard ReelRum for a half day trip. They headed out to the Sea of Cortez area along Chileno Bay and was able to pull 1 Dorado, 4 Jack Crevalle and a whopping 50 lb. Roosterfish! Not too shabby.

Our other boats headed out to the Pacific side for their full day trips. First back were Kyle and Adrienne from Indiana aboard TantRum with Capt. Ramon. Kyle walked into the office and says, "Well, we got skunked!". Of course this happens from time to time with fishing, but before I could say more he smiled and said, "Just kidding! We pulled in 5 Striped Marlin!" He and Adrienne were ecstatic of course. They were able to release all 5 of the beautiful Stripers. We'll see you in October for your 40th Kyle!

Next back was RumRunnin with Captain Javier. Jim, Robbin, Dave and John had a great day out at Golden Gate as well. Our friends from Horned Frog country as well as Minnesota were all smiles with their bagged up Dorado. They were able to catch 2 nice Dorados as well as 2 Striped Marlin. One of the Stripers weighed in at what they thought to be about 200 lbs. One of the bigger Stripers we've seen in awhile. Both were released as well. Thanks for fishing with us again guys, we'll see you again soon we hope!

And last but not least was another wonderful group from CCA Texas hailing from Houston and Oklahoma. They too are also enjoying the Portofino Condos. Michael, Lance, Mike and Joel headed out for the first of three days aboard El Nuevo. Out at Golden Gate Mike Fox was able to reel in that Striped Marlin that he was waiting for that weighed in at about 120 lbs. They also pulled in another 3 Dorado weighing between 20-40 lbs. Now they're headed back to the condos to have a nice meal cooked up by Chef Cesar at the condos. Yummy!

Thanks for checking in! Oh, and we're happy to announce that Nick will be back in the office tomorrow. We have missed his shining face.

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.
