Wednesday update...

Tons of boats coming back today with no flags flying (non-redrum boats of course.) I won't point fingers or name names, but a lot of the boats on Dock A had a hard time finding the fish. RedRum boys however, had a good day on the water today. While it was somewhat slow out there, we got all our clients on fish. Most of the fishing was done on the Sea of Cortez a few miles out from the 95 bank.

The first boat back was the half-day share of Brad and Mike Hodge and Steve Milner and Lorna Contreras. Steve had been looking for a share for the past few weeks and we couldn't seem to find him one. As luck would have it, they shared a taxi down to the Marina from their resort with Brad and Mike who were coming down to the Marina looking to get on board with someone. Captain Tata was at the helm and as luck would have it, he hooked into the first BLUE MARLIN of the season for RedRum. Mike Powell had a 400lber last week on the Missing Lenk, however it wasn't with our clients, so we can't count that one. After 45 minutes, this bruiser of a Blue, estimated at over 200lbs snapped the line and swam away. Oh well, at least we know they are out there. Steve and Lorna were up next and they caught a nice Dorado in the 40lb class.

Wid and Joe were back for day two of their fishing trip and today they headed out with Captain Alex aboard El Nuevo RedRum. They once again didn't get into any Tuna of astonishing size, but they did bring 2 Yellowfin to the boat.

David Welch, Amado Maschmeyer, Keaton, Stratton and Smith Day, all headed out with Javier on Rum Runnin. While things were looking grim most of the day, a late Marlin strike made it all worth while. They saw a small bachelor school of 3 Stripey's on the surface and before they knew what was going on, the crew had hooked one of them. The Striped Marlin fought like hell, giving each person on the boat a chance to feel it's power. The guys estimated the fish at 160lbs.

Finally, we had Dustin Daniels and his wife with us today from North Carolina. They joined Captain Omar and Americo aboard ReelRum and brought in a Sailfish and 2 Yellowfin Tuna.

Great day for the RedRum Crew!

Diana is back tomorrow after being out for three weeks with a Broken Jaw. Welcome back Diana, we missed you. Ryan will be taking a much needed day off!

Tuesday...

Alex Trasvina, James Gaskill and his son Daniel Maldanado fished with RedBeam. Captain Marshall took them out towards the 95 and trolled rigged dead bait and cedar plugs. The cedar plugs were too much for the Tuna and they were lucky enough to bring 3 of them in.

Brian Younger from San Francisco along with his two buddies had a great day as well. Captain Javier on Rum Runnin was right there at the 95 with Captain Marshall, however he was able to hook the guys up with 6 Yellowfin.

Monday Update

Ryan Mast and his crew went out for day 2 of their Cabo adventure and once again had a great day. Following up the 3 Marlin on Sunday, the guys brought in 3 Yellowfin Tuna while fishing from the RedBeam. The guys enjoyed their catch at Misiones de Kino. Look forward to seeing you guys again soon!

Our good buddy Wid, who fished with us last year in the Western Outdoor News Tuna Jackpot, is down again and he finally got the Tuna he was looking for last November. While the 3 Yellowfin they brought in weren't the size it would take to take top honors in the tournament, they did get one nice 30+ lber. Wid also got his buddy hooked into a Striped Marlin. Great day guys.

RedRum,

I just wanted to say we had a great time fishing on the "Rum Runnin". I'm attaching a picture of the 5' 3" 60 pound Mahi Mahi my ten year old son Nick caught. He founght the fish by himself for about 20 minutes before I gave him a little rest before fighting it again.

Thanks, John & Nick Bratanov

Danny Dupree and the Local Drew Crew

Danny Dupree and his crew had a great day on El Nuevo RedRum. While they didn't get into the Marlin and Sailfish that the Mast party did, they found a school of Yellowfin and were able to bring in 5 nice fish.

Local Drew Deckman was itching for a day on the water with some friends and we were happy to oblige. Drew and his crew brought in 4 schoolie size Yellowfin and a nice Striped Marlin.

Mast crew...

Ryan Mast is a good friend of Brooke's from her Peace Corps days in Guatemala. Ryan came down with some good buddies of his from Louisiana for his bachelor party and headed out with Javier on Rum Runnin today. They just got back with 3 Striped Marlin Flags and 3 Catch and Release Flags.

Still catching up...

Chris Yonko and Cathy Miller, from Hollywood, Florida are visiting Cabo and they were out looking for Marlin. Chris wanted a big Marlin so that he could have something to mount. Sure enough, after a long slow day, Omar and Americo spotted a Marlin on the surface and threw a live pitch bait. Sure enough the Marlin took the offering and Chris' battle was on. Mission Accomplished.

Gabe Corchiani is in from Louisianna and after returning early a few days ago with 3 sick boys, he headed out by himself today with Ulyses. While the fishing was much better the first day he went out and had to return early, the boys stuck it out and got him a Yellowfin late in the day. Nice meeting you Gabe.

John and Carol Bratanov headed out with their 10 year old son for a day on the water with Javier on Rum Runnin and caught a monster Dorado. While the fishing was a bit slow, they were able to hook into, and land, a 63" Dorado weighing more than 50lbs. John's 10 year old son showed some serious heart, and muscles, fighting the fish for 40 minutes and finally bringing it all the way in. Great Job!

Tony and Michelle Annan, the latest of our Play and Stay guests were out with El Nuevo RedRum today and while the Sailfish they caught was nothing like the 600+lb Blue Tony caught the week before, they had a nice day on the water.

Neil Bordelon and Chris Kastberg hooked up on our share board and headed out for a day on the water with Marshall on the RedBeam. The guys were able to bring in 1 big Striped Marlin.
