Sunday Tuna Session



Just your typical Sunday for a couple of buddies from San Diego, battling a cow Yellowfin Tuna for over 3 hours. Craig and Mike Joyce, and their buddies from Poway/Escondido came to Cabo and repped East County San Diego as best they could today. After a few small Dorado, Captain Alex found a school of Tuna. Unfortunately, the Tuna were finicky and not interested in any of the lures, plugs or feathers we were pulling through the school. Mate Manuel thought the fish were finicky because of the heavy line and leader on the lures. He live baited a Caballito onto one of the pitch bait rods and threw a Caballito out into the school and immediately got hooked up. Manuel knew the fish had some size to it as he handed the rod off and because the live bait rod and reel is set up with 40lb test and 100lb leader, he knew the guys might be in for a long fight. The long fight turned out to be 3.5 hours as the guys passed the rod back and forth a few times but finally landed the big Yellowfin. The guys were stoked on the 150+lb fish and had plenty of sashimi and filets to bring back to San Diego.

Frank Frank go Away!

Today's fishing was also great peeps. We had 2 boats out and as I stated earlier on Twitter we had Jennifer Enciso, previous customer, fishing aboard ReelRum with Captain Jesus and Mates Edgar and Omar.

This time she went fishing with her fiance Skii and this nice couple ended up with 1 dorado which was caught 3 miles out from The Cerro Bank and a nice huge 220 Lb Blue Marlin caught by a spot called La Herradura which in English means The Horse shoe. AS they were walking into the office I saw the mates in front of them and they just kept bringing in fish in bags, buckets and more bags. This couple emptied the ocean! Great job guys!

Last but not least we had Max and Terry Munn fished on Tantrum with Captain Ramon and Mate Alonso and their final score was a 25 Lb Dorado and a 40 Lb Wahoo by the Golden Gate Bank. 1 Blue Marlin snapped the line and got away but they still had an awesome time out there. Thank you guys for fishing with us!!

Update on Hurricane Frank is that it is located 550 Km south of Cabo. The port will not be closed tomorrow so fishing will take place as scheduled. Will have another update tomorrow. We are expecting thunderstorms tonoight...but to be honest I don't even think so, it's sunny and hot! so come to Cabo guys!!

Our Friend Scott Patterson and his crew went out for a second day on partner boat SolMar1 and caught/released a Striped Marlin! These guys are planning on going out for a 3rd time, hopefully they'll decide to go out on Saturday!

Chris English and Brenda Guerra from San Diego fished aboard the 28' ReelRum with Captain Jesus and Mates Edgar and Omar. They fished for a full day on the Sea of Cortez and ended up with a 25 Lb Dorado and 2 Blue Marlin! They were thrilled with their whole trip and we hope to have them fish with us real soon! BTW they donated their fish for charity, that's awesome!!! thanks guys.

Happy Birthday Paige Aderholt!!!! Paige decided to celebrate her b-day aboard the 33' Nuevo along with Charles, Hannah and Suzanne this past Tuesday Aug, 25th. On day 1 which was Monday, Aug. 23rd. Paige managed to reel in a 9ft 9inch Blue Marlin all on her own and it only took 20 minutes!!! AWESOME JOB PAIGE, this sure was a dream come true. This "Super Girl" also caught two 10 Lbs Dorados on that same day while hubby Charles took care of his lovely lady and made sure she had the best fishing trip ever.

On Tuesday Aug 25th Paige and Charles decided to go out fishing with Hannah and Suzanne (Charles' sister and niece) to celebrate her b-day. On this day this team caught and released another 8ft Blue Marlin! AWESOME and also caught and kept a 15 Lb Dorados. It took 20 min to reel the Marlin in, nice job ladies!...and gentlemen.

Paige, we are so glad you decided to celebrate your birthday with us, can't thank you enough. Hopefully day 3 of your fishing trip will be a lucky one as well!! and we hope you have an awesome time in your snorkeling trip tomorrow. "FELIZ CUMPLEANOS"

From Michigan we had Nenad and Marko Milicevic fish aboard our 28' Tantrum along with Captain Ramon and Mate Juan for a full day trip. This Father-Son team managed to catch and release 2 striped Marlin. No information on the size and weight was provided, but we do know they fished between La Herradura and Cerro Gordo. Thanks for fishing with us guys.

And last but not least the group that was outside the office at 5:30AM! ready and eager to go out fishing was Mike Kelly and his party of 5. This awesome group is full of of energy and had an awesome time reeling in 8 Dorado (4 of them were released) and 2 nice 40 Lbs Wahoo. They promised to share their pictures and videos with us, so we expect to see them soon and post them on this fish report and our other sites.

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!

Thanks for Reading
Nick

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.
