Brooke & Ryan,
Kathy and I just wanted to thank both you and Ryan for setting us up so well for our stay in Cabo! The condo was perfect for our arrival. We really had a great time, especially fishing!
All your recommendations for dinners and activities were great, they were all top notch places and people. You guys are both truly connected and part of the community. Not to mention a great reputation fishing as well.
You guys made our stay both memorable and enjoyable!! See you guys in November.....
We had some of our catch for dinner the other night with family and friends and it was all outstanding!! Nice job packaging up our fish for us. It was still completely frozen solid....9 hours later!!

Taryn & Troy Salzar
Troy Salazar's trip aboard RumRunnin on August 16th, 2009
I would like to first start off by saying a BIG thanks to Ryan and Brooke of RedRum Sportfishing for an EXCELLENT time aboard one of their boats. They set us up on one of their 32 ft Sport fishers "RUM RUNNIN " a 6 pack boat that included Me my daughter and 4 of my friends that were vacationing with us.
The boat is in immaculate condition with top of the line equipment Shimano / Penn International on board just in case you didn't happen to bring your own. These airlines are just getting out of hand with the cost anymore so it is somewhat of a pain in the ass to transport! Anyway arrived at the boat around 5:45 waiting for the office to open to see what we needed to pick up at the store located in the landing . To my surprise I was greeted by RYAN the owner he payed personal attention to us and made sure the boat was packed with ICE, Lunches, Water for the trip as well as arranging mexican licenses for the day . The service was second to none so a few handshakes and an introduction to the crew and we are off . RedRum has a regular bait supplier in the harbor so they are GUARENTEED to have bait available even when it becomes scarce for MOST! That was good to hear so we picked up a dozen pieces and plotted a course the plan was to head to the Banks to see what was cracking but if anything looked FISHY along the way. So after about an hour + trek up the coast we get to some promising looking water lots of life porpoise , turtles , and bait fish balling on the surface the Captain had had some luck the day before. The Temp is high and the Tuna count seems to be coming up just the day before we left saw a guy in the harbor with a 200+ Yellowfin!
So we get the trollers out and start marching into the BLUE with all eyes on the water . It is not long I see a 100 + lb class striped marlin fining on the surface he had a slight case of the LOCK JAW as they sometimes do but it didn't discourage us just got the adrenaline going . It wasn't long before we spot the second one fining and seems he wants to GO ! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ FISH ON the deckhand ( Martine) hands off the rod to me and I IMMEDIATELY pass it off to my daughter ( 8 ) as the fish makes it's first jump . I can honestly say it was one of my proudest moments the look on her face ...gritting her teeth ready to take this fish to task ( FEARLESS) anyway she fought it for about 15 minutes until she couldn't take it anymore and DAD pitched in . The Guys on the boat laughed when I said those chairs are for pussies and strapped on the belt to handle this shit in true WEST COAST fashion . After about 20 minutes got the fish to the boat guessed the weight at around 100 to 110. A beautiful and respectable fish none the less . Turns out we repeated that process 2 more times before the day was over with 3 landed the BIG one for us going 140 lbs. ALL RELEASED after a few quick photos what a magnificent animal!
After a few MARLIN pulled on it was time to downsize the gear and see if we couldn't catch some dinner. Smaller feathers deployed we didn't make it 10 minutes before the first knockdown a small DORADO probably 8 to 10 lb. class Ended up at the end of the day keeping 9 for the boat of 6 but pulled on MANY more than that ! All the smaller or shall I say smallest models were released . My buddy Mike that went with us farmed 3 nice fish during the course of the day all I could do was shake my head but it was his first time fishing in the ocean so how mad can you get. The closing of the day was getting the trollers in and start steaming back to the the harbor when all of a sudden the CAPTAIN throttles up and make a quick turn I knew it was going to be something GOOD .....and it was . A Pair of Male and Female DORADO swimming on the surface and they are the BIGGER MODELS ! Bait goes in and ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ the female wants to GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I burry the hook and She comes flying out of the water and starts ripping line ........YEAH ! After about 10 minutes in the water and several jumps later the male decides to take a look at the action so I kept her in the water to see if we couldn't get him to take bait .........HE was smarter and had a case of the lockjaw. Until Next time for him estimated the weight of the female to be between 35 and 40 lbs. That I am not sure of but was a VERY nice fish to end the day with . Hats off the the REdRum Crew aboard Rum Runnin for and awesome time aboard your boat I would recommend you to ANYONE we all had a blast www.redrumcabo.com .......Made memories that will last a lifetime and you gained a CUSTOMER for LIFE !!!!!!! See you next year Ryan and thanks again for EVERYTHING .

Jefe Goes Fishing
SATURDAY AUGUST 22ND, 2009
Josh, Ben, Evan, Eric, Matt and Jacob went out on our RedBeam with Captain Marcial. They headed to Golden Gate where they caught 9 Dorado weighing fifteen to twenty five pounds and a twenty pound Tuna. We vacuum sealed and froze most of their fish for them to take back with them to Louisiana tomorrow and they took the rest of the fillets to Misiones de Kino for dinner. A nice end to their fishing vacation purchased through CCA. They enjoyed their trip so much they plan on coming back for one of our Play and Stay packages next year.
John Donovan met Danae and her boyfriend Jesse at Misiones de Kino the other night, told them all about the RedRum fishing experience that they simply could not miss out on and today they went out on our 28’ ReelRum with Captain Americo and Mate Juan. At only three miles from shore in the Golden Gate area they caught and released 2 Marlin, one weighed a hundred and twenty five pounds and the second weighing a hundred and seventy five pounds. They also caught 2 Dorado weighing in between fifteen and twenty five pounds. It was their first time fishing in Cabo and they vowed it would not be their last.
John also ran into some of Donnie’s (aka Ryan Donovn) old college buddies and found himself some friends to fish with. Kristen, Kimberly, Claire and Melanie went out on our 32’ RumRunnin with the Jefe himself along with Captain Omar and Mate Cesar. The girls each took turns reeling in the hundred and fifty pound Striped Marlin which they later released and swam with. That’s right folks, after reeling that biggie in they jumped into the ocean and went for a ride together. The ladies also caught and released a small Dorado and fought another that got away.

Mucho Dorado
Joe, Robert, David, Barbara, Irene and Alan from New Jersey went out for the third time this week on our 32’ Rum Runnin with Captain Javier and Mate Manuel. Out by Golden Gate on the Pacific Joe caught and released a Marlin, and the rest of the group caught 3 Dorado and 3 Tuna. After having such a great week with RedRum they decided to steal John Donovan away from the office and coerce him into sharing a few beers with them next door; poor Jefe.
Jake and friends went out on our 54’ Missing Lenk and caught a twenty pound Tuna, a twelve pound Dorado and a hundred and twenty pound Marlin which they released. The fight took place just two miles offshore inside Golden Gate.
Greg, his wife Mary and their fifteen year old son Nathan from California went out on our 28’ ReelRum with Captain Omar and Mate Americo. Out by Golden Gate Nathan caught a sixty pound bull Dorado in a fight that lasted forty minutes. He’s a nice kid so he left his dad a fifteen pound Dorado to fight afterwards.
Josh, Ben, Evan, Eric, Matt and Jacob from Louisiana went out on our 33’ El Nuevo with Captain Alex and mate Ramon.
