Sorry guys but we just lost a bunch of recent posts....
Not sure why, but certainly a bummer.
I am writing a piece now for Coastal Angler Magazine's June edition and will blog a preview of it here shortly.
Thanks,

IGFA World Billfish Championship's!
Well Alex and Manuel on El Nuevo RedRum have had a great tournament so far and are certainly within striking distance today of reaching the top 5! Right now they are in 8th place with 1230 points after 3 days of fishing. 1200 points for Marlin caught and 30 points for the 3rd largest Dorado of the tournament which was 30lbs.
The IGFA Tournament is different in that you never know who is going to be on your boat each day, the teams are randomly assigned boats and the Captain and Mate are then in charge of putting them on the fish. Once they get there, the Captain and Mate can not help the angler in any way. Some days you are fishing with a team with a ton of experience, other days you aren't.
Everyone misses hook-ups, even our guys, and while El Nuevo had 3 Marlin yesterday, he said they missed 3 more that they should have or could have had.
As the standings sit before today's final day of fishing, Alex is 3 Marlin off the lead.
Wish the guys from El Nuevo RedRum the best today in their quest for the International Game Fish Association's World Championship!

Lots of tuna out there, Dorado are coming back and we caught and released the first Sailfish of the year! That's what happened yesterday May 10th.
Kurt Schlehuber fished on RedRum with Captain Omar and caught a total of 3 yellowfiin tuna and 1 sailfish. They had a great day in the water, they said they were going to send in their pics so we can show them off the everyone. These 2 couples were the ones who caught the very first sailfish of the year, around 120 Lbs, congrats!
Kyle Thurston fished on his second trip and caught a total of 5 tuna the sizes were between 15-20 Lbs. This group from Wyoming had fished on Monday and ended their trip yesterday with these nice edible fish!
Dennis Byrd and friends from Houston Texas fished on RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Jesus. THey caught a total of 3 Yellowfin Tuna about 20 Lbs each and 1 striped Marlin (caught and released) about 150 Lbs.

Today fishing is no exception, it's still great! We caught more Tuna than yesterday

Hi everyone!
Hope everyone up north had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday.
Brothers, Patrick and & Ross Hardage from Los Angeles and Dallas headed out this morning with Omar aboard RedRum. Patrick had been down fishing with us once before over a year ago and is back for more! They headed straight out from the Arch about 20 miles where they had a phenomenal day on the water. They pulled in 6 Yellow Fin Tuna, in the 20-25 lb. weight range. One good sized Dorado and a whopping 40 lb. Wahoo! Excellent job guys! They'll have plenty of fish to eat for weeks to come. Don't forget, when you fish with RedRum, we vacuum seal and freeze your catch so you are easily able to take it home with you in a plastic cooler as a checked bag on your airline. These two are ecstatic to be bringing some fresh catch home with them. Hope to see you guys again soon!
The guys on TantRum in the Thurston party from Jackson Hole, Wyoming had a good day out on the water with Captain Ramon. They headed out towards San Jose on the Sea of Cortez about 14 miles out from the Palmilla. Despite a hot semi calm day on land the seas out there were a bit rough, but they managed to pull in three, 20-25 lb. Yellow Fin Tuna on board. They'll be enjoying a nice Tuna steak dinner. Check back in tomorrow to see how the Thurston party does on Day 2.
That's all she wrote. Check in tomorrow for the latest and greatest!

A bunch of Marlin and Tuna!
Happy Mothers day everyone! What are the plans for you guys on this Sunday? Remember to embrace and love your Momma! without them, we would not be here.
Fishing here in Cabo has been great these past two days. Lots of Marlin and Tuna are biting right now which is awesome considering that Tuna had been gone for quite a while but it seems like they are back and not too far away!
We've been catching Tuna around 11 miles out of here, so if you have a scheduled trip, make sure you speak to your crew for the best fishing options!
On May 6th we had 5 boats going out.
Fisrt we had Stephen Knight who did a half day fishing with Ramon and Juan. Stephen from the UK caught a total of 3 Striped Marlin and 1 Yellowtail during the 4 days he fished with us. He began his fishing trip on May 4th along with Katherine Knight but after day 1 Kathy decided to stay away from the boat and do girl stuff the following 3 days. Stephen, decided to go solo and had a great trip out there. Hopefully, he'll come again for more fun. He sent in some pictures which I will post shortly.
Ron Frost fished on RumRunnin this Friday and caught and released a 71/2 120Lbs Striped Marlin. He fished with Captain Javier and Mate Jesus along with Chris, Aaron and Dennis. These guys had a great day in the water and really enjoyed fighting the Marlin.
Greg Walsh and Rachel Schlanger fished on a Mucho Loco boat and caught 1 Marlin and 1 Dorado. They did not come back to the office after their trip but I heard from the crew that they were excited about their catch. They had a great trip out there and I'm sure we'll hear from them soon.
Ryan Donovan and his family went out on our 33' Nuevo and their trip was all about Tuna and Marlin. They caught and released a Marlin and kept the tuna. It was a great day out in the water for the Donovan's who were here in Cabo for Ryan and Brooke's baby shower!
May 7th (yesterday) was also good fishing, From Austin Texas and on their second trip, Brian Replogle, John Sparrow and Shane Goodman fished for a second time on Nuevo with Captain alex and manuel. This time they caught a total of 7 yellowfin tuna and a striped Marlin. These nice folks bought their S&P package through CCA. Brian told me this morning that he was plannin on bidding for another package in the upcoming auction! Hope to see him around again. The ladies decided to enjoy a Saturday at the malls, spa and doing other girl stuff while the guys enjoyed a nice cold beer while heading out for their catch. They had Chef Cesar come into the condo to fix up a nice meal with their tuna. They had a great time last night.
David and Martha Bauer fished for a half day on our 31' RedRum with Captain Omar and mate Americo. Their trip began at 11 AM and had a slow but good day. Their total catch was 2 yellowfin.
From Sacramento California, Moira Sharma and Tim Aspinwall fished on our 32' RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Jesus. They did a half day trip and caught a total of 2 yellowfin. They took some fish to get it cooked up, Ithink they were going to go to Misiones de Kino with our friends Israel and Renee, the rest of the fished they donated it to RedRum. Thanks guys!
Thanks for reading and have an awesome Sunday!

Robin & Sean's fantastic pics.
Great Pics from Robin & Sean Sulz.
Thanks for sending these in! We really appreciate them.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
What's happening people!
Happy CINCO DE MAYO!!! and it's weird but here in Mexico we really don't celebrate it as they do back in the states I don't know why! They should though since it was the first battle where Mexico's army defeated a strong Force (The French Force).
But on to the fishing news.
MARLIN, Marlin and more Marlin. The 1150 and 95 banks are still the places to go fishing. Like we've said in previous posts, it's 30 miles out around an hour and half to get there, but we've been successful in most of our attempts.
These past couple of days have all been about offshore fishing rather than inshore. There was a day where inshore was basically not biting to well but everyone who did offshore caught fish.
May 3rd:
Mike Nitido and his gang fished on RumRunnin with Javier and Jesus and together they reeled and released a striped Marlin. Not sure how bit it was though, but I know they fished on the 1150.
Raul Couret fished on Nuevo along with his peeps and this group had an awesome day out there. They caught a total of 3 stripers! They were all caught and released. The weights were 80lbs, 120lbs and 160lbs. They had a great day with Alex and Manuel. Congrats
Last but not least Dennis Anderson fished on a panga and he landed 4 nice spanish mackerels. 10 lbs each.
May 4th
Stephen & Katherine Knight fished on their first out of four trips with us. On their first day they got upgraded to a bigger boat (what a nice way to start off their fishing trip) they went out with Alex and Manuel and landed a total of 2 Striped Marlin that were 130 and 190 Lbs, the latter took almost 2 hours of fighting!
David Gonzales fished on his second trip on RedRum with Captain Omar and Mate Americo and also landed a Marlin. These guys are currently fishing on the same boat and hopefully they'll catch more fish today.
Thanks for reading.
