January 5th and 6th Fish Report

Another beautiful day on the waters surrounding Cabo San Lucas. Although yesterday had a little bit of rain in the morning and overcast it made for a good day fishing to kick off the New Year.

Dave Gladney along with his wife and daughter headed out with Javier aboard RumRunnin on the 5th. Despite the cloudy day, they managed to reel in 3 stripe marlin! One marlin, Dave says, weighing as much as 240 lbs. What a great job guys.

Today on the 6th the boats headed out with a bit of a chill in the morning but didn't stop RumRunnin once again to reel in 2 marlin with the Desmonds and RedBeam to knock out 2 dorado and 2 stripe marlin.

The fishing is still hot! We hope everyone is kicking of 2009 with a bite!

January 4th Update

Christmas cheer was still in the air when Dad, Brooke and I last visited our favorite sushi place Art & Sushi. The manager Miguel has always talked about how he would love to head our fishing some time. Well Dad made sure we stopped talking about it and made it happen. Miguel always takes very good care of us and our clients so we wanted to take good care of him in return. Miguel and his son (we have a soft spot for father and son fishing teams,) headed out on ReelRum with Omar on the house. They did a half day and caught and release a Striped Marlin and brought home a Dorado for dinner.

Javier and Cesar were the Captain and Mate team on Rum Runnin' for Ted Couch and Brett Haysen and they had a great day on the water as well. With the Pacific winds swirling this morning the boys decided to head up the Sea of Cortez and check on the warmer, calmer waters. The guys managed 4 nice Dorado and Ted and Brett are already cooking them up.

Charters are still available for the end of the week, give us a call and get on the water!

Marlin Marlin Marlin...

All the boys did great with Marlin today. Golden Gate is still holding tons of fish and people are really enjoying the diverse action with porpoise, whales and sea lions all over the place. El Nuevo had 8, Rum Runnin had 2, Beam had a few, and ReelRum is still fishing.

Gotta run home to take care of a sick wife, but more tomorrow.

End of the year wrap-up

The final week of December has been great for RedRum clients with loads of fish to brag about. Sierra and Yellowtail have begun to show up and folks are having a blast inshore with the light tackle fishing for these guys and Roosterfish. I, for one, would have thought the Roosters would be gone by now, but with the water still relatively warm the Roosters are still hanging around.

Offshore fishing has been great as well. This year is certainly looking similar to last year where we saw tons and tons of Marlin in December and January. Heard of a boat that ran to the Finger Banks yesterday that released over 50 Marlin and caught 20 Dorado. As some of you are aware, these guys "catch" Marlin a little differently with the boat doing more of the work; still an impressive feat nonetheless. Golden Gate has been the bank of choice for our Captains and the action there is non-stop with whales, dolphins, sea lions, and of course tons of fish.

Reports out of the East Cape and Sea of Cortez are showing Tuna, Dorado and Wahoo so we hope to see some of those fish in our waters soon.

All in all it has been a great year for RedRum Sportfishing and our anglers. Captain Omar on ReelRum will take the "Top Captain" of the year award in stylish fashion. An early season Swordfish, a monster 650lb Blue Marlin, and the winning Yellowfin Tuna in the Los Cabos Tuna Jackpot were all very impressive. We are however, very happy with all of our Captains and each and every one of them had great years and some fantastic catches.

With over 1000 charters and over 4000 clients this year, we couldn't be happier with2008. That being said, we are really looking forward to 2009. More fish to catch, more records to break and more tournaments to win.

We wish everyone the best in 2009 and look forward to seeing each and every one of you at some point this year. (Even you Mr. Flores)

I also want to say a special thanks to Luis Vela, our former office manager. I am not sure John Donovan will ever let Luis completely leave RedRum and he knows he will always have a place at RedRum and in our hearts. None of what we are today could have been possible without him and the work he has done the past two years. We wish you the best in your next adventure Luis, and no that you are missed by many in CSL.

December 22nd Fish Report

The estimated 80 degree weather, strong sun, and no wind led to a pretty good day of fishing for the Redrum boats that headed out today. El Nuevo and Rum Runnin both fished between The Lighthouse and Golden Gate, a spot that has been filled with fish for at least the last 2 months. I have seen countless Marlin released as well as almost double the amount of Dorado as compared from last year.

Today was Marlin all around! Our good local buddy Kaye Peters headed out with her family from out of town. They were an awesome group to host as some minor electrical problems in the morning postponed their departure time. After getting them out I hoped they would have a good day, as I do with all of our anglers heading out. Since I know Kaye I didn't want to have to put up with her making fun of our crews if they didn't put them on the fish! Luckily for me they were fishing with Cesar! When I saw El Nuevo come back this afternoon with 7 Marlin and 7 catch and release flags flying high I was very proud and lucky that Alex and Cesar were on that boat! They did a great job! As did the Peters for reeling in the 7 Marlin! The biggest was a little over 200 pounds pulled in by the smallest member of the party! So to Kaye, Kathy, Ryan, Austin, Lane, Nataly and April, it was a pleasure meeting you guys, take care and enjoy the stories!

Mr. Ian Slome and his son Ben almost did not make their trip to Cabo as they were held up in some nasty weather in the NYC. They're sure glad they made it down! They fished with Rum Runnin today with Javier and Lobo as Manuel has taken a small vacation for the Christmas holiday. Javier and Lobo were able to put them on 3 Stripe Marlin, all for releases. They have one more trip lined up with Rum Runnin on Wednesday to give it their best shot at some more big fish! Cheers and Congrats Slome's!

It's pretty cool that it is 3 days away from Christmas, it's 80 degrees out and sunny outside and the Marlin bite is still going "off"! I know Mark Stange and Jorge Flores are both loving reading this report as they are dressed in probably 15 layers of clothing, gloves and hats on! For the rest of you dressed in layers take down some tequila and keep thinking of us!

Saludos,

Luis

December 15th Fish Report

Although there aren't too many people fishing Cabo these days our boys are still have some nice luck when the oppurtunity presents!

Omar had the sole charter for Redrum today on Reel Rum. He headed out with Don England his son Brad and 2 daughters Ashley and Lindsay. They had a great day. Since Cesar had nothing going on with El Nuevo he decided to jump aboard and head out with Americo to up the chances of getting some fish. Of course, Stripe Marlin came first, one for Mr. England. Next up was Brad who caught and released a heck of a Stripe Marlin, 97"! Than the girls took their turn at one and after a little help from Cesar and Americo landed it too! Great day for the four of them! Not to mention the nice 35 pound Wahoo that they caught along with the Bull Dorado that was reeled in as well!

Great job guys!

Saludos,

Luis

December 10th Report



Again, sorry for the delay folks. We just completed a weeks worth of remodeling our office down in Cabo. Although we aren't completely finished yet at least I have my computer to get behind and touch base with my anglers again!!

Some pretty gnardly winds blew in late this afternoon cooling the temperature down quite a bit. I am actually going to wear a long sleeve shirt to leave the office! I may even have to put pants and shoes on tomorrow morning, hopefully I'll be able to find my shoes... haven't used those things since last year!

Todays Report:

Captain Ramon still has the reins on El Nuevo as Alex is still out of town with his family in the mainland. He continues to wow his clients with his ability to put them on fish. With Tantrum still out of the water for her re-hauls Cesar is having a ball fishing on El Nuevo. Today the boys took out the Rice party from Red Oak, Texas. The 5 of them had a blast with Cesar as he likes to show - hands on, how to fish. Mr. Douglas Rice caught 110" 170+ pound Stripe Marlin while Mrs. Rice was able to bring one to the boat as well. Pleasure meeting you folks!

Javier and Mickey had the pleasure of fishing with Redrums very own John Donovan today! John headed out with his Attorney Jonathan Pikoff and longtime Redrum buddy Marshall Gill a.k.a Pelon. Although they really wanted to get some Dorado for the grill tonight they had a good time catching Stripe Marlin. John hooked into each of the 3 Stripe Marlin that were caught today but was nice enough to pass the rod to his buddies to let them continue the fight. "The fun part for me is too hook into the fish and I get great joy out of seeing my friends catch the fish, especially if they haven't caught one", John said. He also wanted to add that "a day on the water beats a day in the office"!!
