AWESOME WEEKEND!!!!

Another weekend guys, first weekend of the month and these past couple of days has been fantastic for fishing. Lot's of fish, our freezers are once again filled with fish and waiting for their owners to come pick them up!

Nice warm weather here in Cabo, perfect to be at the beach chillin with your fambam / friends.

Ramiro Duran and his group of 5 fished yesterday on RedRum with Omar and Americo. This time they decided to fish on the Pacific side about 11 miles out. The group ended up catching a total of 13 yellowfin tuna. The guys were excited and just amazed with the wonderful day they had out in the water.

Michael Collins, Thomas Collins and Linda Collins fished on Nuevo with Alex and Manuel. This was a birthday gift from Michael and Linda to Thomas. Thomas had no idea he was flying to Cabo, they tricked him to the airport and while he was there they told him the whole plan! This was, in my opinion, an awesome birthday gift. This group fished for a full day and they landed a total of 14 Yellowfin Tuna and caught and released 2 Striped Marlin. They were glad, had a blast and were happy that the birthday trip has been going so well. All we can say here at RedRum is that we're glad you had a great trip and once again Thomas...Happy Birthday buddy!

Last but not least we had April Bonds and her mom and dad fishing for a half day on our 28' tantrum with Ramon and Juan. Their trip was also fun but there was some seasickness going on for a bit. These strong people did not let that get in the way with their fishing trip and they fished the entire time. They caught a total of 9 Yellowfin tunas between 25-30 Lbs.

AWESOME!

Today's fishing (June 4th) was also amazing. The morning started off a bit crazy and wild but ended in praises and happy customers. Comments going from the best trip of their lives or all the money was well worth it to even what they had been waiting for their entire lives. All comments are well accepted and I do have to be honest it feels great when you know customers had a blast and they come back into the office and brag about their trip. The expression on your faces are priceless.

We had a wedding group today that seemed as though they came from the party straight to the office! This fun group made this fishing trip to join Amber Flores and Scott Hamrick on their first trip as newly weds. Now you can imagine why I say it was a WILD morning! LOL. 13 people total but it seemed like more hahaha. Anyhow, they fished on 3 boats:

On RumRunnin the group of 4 who fished caught a total of 10 Tuna and 1 Striped Marlin
RedRum: The boat Amber and Scott were on caught a total of 2 Striped Marlin and 12 Tuna
and Mucho Loco the remaining boat caught a total of 1 Dorado, 9 Yellowfin tuna and 1 Striped Marlin.

The bite took place early in the morning and as soon as they started fishing, they started catching fish. A bit unusual for this time of year, but it keeps getting better.

Shannon Bartkowiak and her family fished on the 38' blackfin Marlin Too and they also caught a lot of fish, especially Tuna around 12-15 (they lost track)! That's a great sign.

Last but not least loyal Customer Jeff Massengill and his family fished on Nuevo with Alex and Manuel and caught a total of 8 yellowfin tuna tha were about 20-25 Lbs. Thank you Jeff for the words.

And thank you for reading.

May 23rd-36th= AWESOME FISHING!

Hi All!

It's been a very busy week filled with lots of fish , fun and nice warm temperatures! This has been one of the best weeks this year if I may say so!

At the beginning of this week, we thought it would be slow but it started picking up pretty darn good and everyone who has been fishing has been coming back stoaked about their trips. They've kept their fish and taken them to restaurants to get it cooked up, the best praises go to Misiones de Kino for their fantastic job!

Tons of Marlin, Tuna and a few Dorado have been caught and those are the three big spieces that have been biting great this week. We've all read that Tuna and Marlin were great a few weeks back, but now add some Dorado their and you have yourslef a great fishing trip.

Sorry we haven't updated the blog but like I said, it's been crazy, a lot of things going on on this end, and the weekend looks pretty busy as well but we can't complain!

Here is a brief recap of what happened these 3 days.

May 24th:

Michael Wysocki along with friends and family fished on our 33' Nuevo for a full day trip and came back with 3 nice tunas which weighed 25-30 Lbs each and they also caught and released 3 striped Marlins 80,130 and 150 Lbs each.

another successful Marlin fishing trip was with Rob McCalland and his party of 4 who fished on our 28' Tantrum. They wanted Marlin and so they did! they caught a total of two (both were caught and released) they were 90 and 91" each and they weighed 140 and 145 lbs.

May 25th

Lisa Fiorito and Mike Mackessy fished on our33' Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel. Their fishing trip consisted of 5 yellowfin tuna and 1 40 lbs Dorado. The tunas were 15-25 Lbs. It was a great day for these folks and they were super friendly! Hope to see you soon.

Ron Matherene and his party of 4 also had a successful fishing trip this day. They fished the Sea of cortez on our 31' RedRum with Omar and Americo. They caught a 100 Lb Marlin (released) 3 yellowfin tuna 15-20 Lbs and 1 Dorado.

May 26th

Quinton Jones and his pals fished on RumRunnin with Javier and Jesus. They fished for a half day but they came accross Marlin and caught a nice 120 pounder! Not bad for a half day especially if we take into consideration that marlin fishing has been far away around 30-35 miles out. Congrats.

David White and his group had initially planned to fish for a full day, but since the waves were a bit high and it started getting a bit choppy out there, they decided to head back in early. During their short trip they landed 2 yellowfin tuna. One was 20 Lbs and the other was 25!

And last but not least, second day of fishing for Ryan Pomroy who fished on Monday as well. This time he and erica went out for a full day and by the end of their trip they had landed 5 big tuna (20-25 Lbs) and 1 striped Marlin. They also fished on the Sea of cortez side.

Thanks for reading and sorry for the delay!

Awesome Saturday in Cabo, Filled with Fish!

Yo yo, What's goin' on people? Nice weather today in Cabo, not a lot of people walking by the Marina today but good fishing has been taking place. I barely found out this morning about the world coming to an end today...yet here we are with all our boats out fishing! Nothing bad yet =0)

Yesterday's fishing was superb, all our boats caught tuna, dorado and marlin!

On RedRum we had Ace Schlameus and his crew fishing for a full day;However, seas were a bit rough so they decided to call it a day just a few hours after they had taken off. Still, even after only fishing for a few hours they caught a total of 2 yellowfin tuna and a Dorado. Not sure how big they were but I'm guessing that the average was 20-25 Lbs for the Tuna and 10-15 Lbs for the Dorado, considering the fact that that's how big the fish were for the other boats who also caught the same fish species.

On Tantrum Ginger Maness and her party of 4 fished for a full day as well but came back early because of the swells. Never the less, they caught 2 striped Marlins between 140-150 Lbs in less than 15 min. They fished on the Sea of Cortez Side.

Charles Wilson fished on RumRunnin, and although his trip was originally scheduled for Thursday, they fished on Friday (Happens to everyone!) anyhow, they had a great day in the water with Javier and Jesus, they landed a Marlin and 2 Tuna.

And last but not least, the "B's!" their last name is a bit hard to pronounce and even to write LOL, Chris Brzozowski and his party of 6 fished on Nuevo with Alex and Manuel. This was their first trip out of two that was planned. They are staying at one of RedRum's Portofino Condos. These CCA members, fished for 8 hours and had a blast out in the water, landing a 100 Lb Striped Marlin and 5 Tunas about 20-25 Lbs each. It took them an hour and 15 min to reel the Marlin which was released in the end. Hopefully tomorrow will be just as great as it was on day 1.

This just in. Kelton and Veronica McCaffrey along with Lance and Kelli Harpe fished on RumRunnin today May 21st and landed a total of 1 Striped Marlin 175 Lbs, 1 Dorado 15 Lbs, 1 Tuna 25 Lbs and a Blue Shark 140 Lbs. They had such a great time in the water and also had a Wahoo but this one eventually got away. Otherwise they would've had their offshore fix set! These nice folks from Napa, California will definitely be coming back again for more Fun. Glad they had a blast...Northern Cali in the house!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for Reading.

Great week.

It's been a while, but we have great news. A lot of great fishing has been going on here in Cabo.
Fishing is no longer only on the sea of cortez side, but it has also started hitting the pacific side. Marlin, Tuna, Dorado are in even though Dorado is still a bit mellow, it's coming in! I can bet this season will be great for Dorado fishing.

Don and Barry Whitaker, CCA Members from San Antonio and Houston fished for two days on our 33' Nuevo. Even though their first trip was a bit slow consisting only of 1 yellowtail, their second trip sure made up for it. On their last trip which was yesterday they caught a total of 7 Yellowfin Tunas and 2 Dorado. The Tunas weighed about 15 - 20 Lbs. Thanks Guys for fishing with RedRum. Hope to see you again in the near future.

Charles Meyers fishin on RumRunnin on Tuesday and caught a total of 1 tuna (15 Lbs) and released an 8 ft 140 Lb Striped Marlin. They fished with Javier and Jesus. It took them 50 mins to catch and release the Striper and was caught on the pacific side, just 11 miles out.

From New Jersey Kurt Wille and his crew fished on Tantrum last Tuesday with Ramon and Juan and after a half day trip they managed to catch and release a Striped Marlin. Not sure how big it was since they got off at the Cruise Ship Dock to walk around. Thanks

Norman Johnson fished on Wednesday with Javier and Jesus and during this full day trip him and his buds landed a 25 Lbs yellowfin Tuna and a 30 Lbs Dorado. Nice!

And on the sea of Cortez side, a shared boat by Randy Becker and Brent Jenson also had a succesful ending. They landed 5 yellowfin tunas about 25 Lbs each. It was a bit slow in the morning but picked up later that day.

John and Ryan Donovan also fished yesterday on RedRum and RumRunnin both boats caugt a total of 10 Yellowfin tunas, the biggest being 30 Lbs, 2 Dorado and 1 Striped Marlin. They had a great day in the water and will be doing it again tomorrow! Let's see how they do.

Thanks

Friday the 13th, what will it bring?

Friday the 13th...

Carl Moberg, down in Cabo for his daughters wedding, decided to add a little more fun to the weekend and took a few guys from the wedding party fishing. Carl fishes commercially in Massachusetts for Striped Bass and we had a nice chat about fishing in his neck of the woods as I occasionally get back that way for Striper and Bluefin fishing. The one thing they don't catch a lot of is Marlin back in his neck of the woods so it was nice that they were able to Catch and Release a nice Striped Marlin.

George Kahle and his two sons, Aaron and Bryan had a nice day on the water with Jesus and Jesus on Rum Runnin'. Father and sons fishing and father and son Captain and Mate! Pretty cool. They caught 2 nice Yellowfin and also hooked a big 108" Striped Marlin that they got to the boat. George came back to the office and told me how impressed he was with the Jesus' and how they were able to get the fish hooked up! Always great to hear about the hard working crews we have!

The Miller party, in from Louisiana on a Stay and Play Package had their second day on the water today and after catching 18 Yellowfin and a Dorado on day one, they had Billfish on their minds. The boys on El Nuevo RedRum did not disappoint as they were able to catch and release 2 nice Striped Marlin! They had a great time at the condos and enjoyed their trip, especially the chef we sent up to the condos to prepare their Yellowfin and Dorado!

Finally, Bob Babei, who joined us from a cruise ship fished today with Cabo Chica. They only had a half -day to fish, but they slayed them out at the 1150! Bob was alone and caught 3 Striped Marlin, 2 Yellowfin Tuna and 1 Dorado! Not a bad day on the water, especially a 5 hour half day!

Thursday, May 12th Where did the Tuna go?

Wondering where all the Yellowfin from yesterday ran off to? After catching more than 30 Yellowfin yesterday, fish were hard to come by for some reason today.

The Souza family, fishing on Rum Runnin was the first boat back and after seeing a few Marlin that wouldn't bite, their time was up and the half day didn't give them enough time to get hooked up.

Daniel and Dawn Brennan joined us today from the cruise ship and they were able to hook into a random Yellowfin that wasn't swimming with any school mates. They finished up their half day with just the 1 Yellowfin.

Joe Thilbourg and Vanessa Cortez fished RedRum with Omar and Americo and also found a random Yellowfin. While we had a few Yellowfin today, none of the Captains found the big school that brought double and triple hook-ups.

Finally, Don Black and his party, fishing on Marlin Too with Captain Pancho, caught 1 Dorado and 2 Yellowfin Tuna.

Hopefully we can find the big school again tomorrow.
