Guys - I wanted to give a big 'thank you' to you for the GREAT fishing trip my wife Erica and I had with Omar, Manuel and you all on September 7th. In the end, we caught 4 nice tuna, 2 nice dorado, a striped marlin about 125 lbs and a 90-100 lb sailfish (96 inches).
At one point we had 5 lines hooked up with tuna and being that there was only myself, Erica and Manuel to grab the rods, we would have had even more. The billfish experience was incredible. I had been bummed that we lost our first hookup and then the crazy action came. We had both billfish hooked up at the same time! Erica had not really even planned to fish too much but as I was reeling in the sailfish, she was forced into fighting the marlin! We released the marlin, but the crew had felt the sailfish was too damaged in the gill so we kept it and it is being mounted in my rec room at home!
Anyway, I wanted to say thanks and let you know we will definitely be back with you again in the future. All my friends are very jealous of the trip I had and I will recommend you to all I know. I think my buddies are going to force me to take them along next time! I have attached a few pictures, but we really didn't have enough hands to catch fish and take pictures at the same time!

Tuesday's Tuesday Update...
Wow!!!! I feel bad for our vacuum packing machine right now. 3 of the boats just got back at the same time and I can't see across the Marina because of all the flags on our boats right now. Tourists are going to walk by and think we just washed all the flags and are just hanging them to dry because we couldn't possibly catch all those fish. Au Contraire!
I'll start with the slackers and you will quickly be able to see where this is going. Danny Armijo along with his son Jay, and two buddies Mike and Mike headed out with Alex and Ramon and were quick to tell me this is definitely going to be a yearly trip for them. Jay was hooked into a monster Yellowfin, over 100lbs, but unfortunately lost it. One of the Mike's had a 60lb class Yellowfin, while the other had one in the 30lb class. After they finished with the Tuna, they hooked into and landed 8 Dorado. 10 fish for the day, and they were the boat that came back with the least amount of flags flying.
Terra and Josh Richards are super nice couple from the Fort Worth area of Texas who are down here on a "business trip." Terra and Josh own a Marina on Eagle Mountain Lake and wanted to see what our Marina looked like. Terra was a trooper today, while she normally does not offshore fish because of Sea Sickness issues, Josh had a buddy back out and she decided to make a go of it. One Scopace seasickness pill later and we officially turned her into an offshore fishing JUNKY. She is already ready to squash wintertime plans of taking the kids skiing to come back to Cabo and chase the Billfish. Josh returned to the office and stated that today was his best trip ever. They finished the day with 6 Dorado and 7 Yellowfin Tuna. Terra claims to have taken some great pics and I am going to hold her to sending them down to us.
Gordon and Gordon Coble Jr. fished with us on ReelRum today with Captain Omar and Mate Americo. These guys took the cake today and caught some whoppers. The father and son combo stayed busy all day bringing in an astonishing 10 Yellowfin Tuna and 8 Dorado. Tomorrow they head back out to try and match today's phenominal fishing.
It's not often that the stars align like they did today, but it sure is fun to be around all our wonderful customers when it does. Normally, we see the Dorado bite strong and someone will come back with 6-8 on a great day. Other times, the Yellowfin are biting well and somewhen can also have a great day with 6-8 fish. As folks know, the fall and winter can be great for Marlin and we can have similar success with the Billfish. But for 2 of the 3 main species to be hitting the way they did today, magical!!!
Awesome day to be a part of RedRum and the fantastic fishery that is CABO SAN LUCAS!

Tuesday's Monday Update.
Julie Houghtling was back fishing with us again today. I thought it had only been a year, but Julie quickly informed me that it has been two years since she has been down. Julie, Nick, Lynette, Nathan and Kevin headed out with Captain Alex and Mate Ramon aboard El Nuevo Redrum. The guys headed for a temp break near the Los Arcos area that they found looking at the Terrafin.com website. They had a feeling the area was holding fish and they were right. Not 10 minutes after the guys set out the lines, they had Dorado on the line. The problem was, not 20 minutes after the first fish was in the boat, one of the guys started feeling seasick. Unfortunately, Julie had to signal Alex to head back to the Marina, cutting their time on the water short. All in all, they returned happy, had a nice time on the water, enjoyed the crew and had two nice Mahi Mahi to show for it. Hope to see you again soon Julie!
Jud Sustala and Wilson Franklin treated their crew to the to the top of the line today. Jud, Wilson and 6 others headed out aboard the 53' Viking Missing Lenk and had a phenominal day with Captain Mike Powell. Mike has been fishing a temp break north of Golden Gate the past few days and had great success there again yesterday. The guys hooked into some nice Yellowfin Tuna, had 2 Striped Marlin (one of which was apparently a hoss), and a Blue Marlin estimated between 250-300lbs. Great day guys and come back and see Missing Lenk again soon.
Allen and Andrea Scheib from Kingwood, Texas are visiting Cabo and wanted to give sportfishing a shot. I'm not sure they will be doing it again, and not because they had a bad day, but rather because they probably won't ever match how good a day they had. Captain Marshall hit the jackpot today and hooked into and landed 13 Dorado by the time it was said and done.
Finally, we had Lisa and Fred Bolton along with Skip Russo and his wife Pam who traveled down from Los Barriles on the east cape yesterday morning to fish with us. About an 1.5 hours from here Los Barriles is a beautiful little laid back town on the east cape which offers good fishing and great diving. Their morning started out slow, as they had car trouble right of the bat. Once they got here to Cabo though, it was all good. They headed out with Captain Javier and Mate Manuel aboard Rum Runnin. When they got back in the afternoon they had caught 4 Dorado and a nice 90lb Yellowfin. Hope you guys had a less eventful ride back to the East Cape and thanks for making the drive to come see us.

Weekend Fish Report
Scott and his friend David from San Antonio Texas went out with Captain Omar yesterday on our 28’ ReelRum. They headed west to Golden Gate and caught 7 Dorado that weighed between thirty and forty pounds.
Tom (aka Tyrone), Greg, Greg and Steven from Minnesota went out for the second time this week but this tie on our 32’ RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Manuel. When I asked them how it went, they said they “were like kids on Christmas morning”. They caught 4 Tuna using live bait just 12 miles offshore at the lighthouse on the Pacific side. They caught big ones, weighing 100, 80, 60 and 30 pounds which they picked up this morning, vacuum sealed and almost frozen, to take home with them.
The Gomez group went out on our 32’ RedBeam with Captain Marcial and Mate Fabian yesterday. They caught 2 Tuna, an eighty pounder as well as another around 55 pounds using live bait. They also caught a Dorado which they released at the lighthouse point just seven miles from shore.
The Culpepper/Martin group from Corpus Christi, Texas went out on a 44’ partner boat yesterday and today. Yesterday they caught 4 Tuna weighing between fifteen and thirty pounds and a Dorado which they took home for dinner that night. Today they caught sixty pound Tuna just twenty minutes after leaving the Marina, followed by a 30 pound Bull Dorado and another 10 pound Dorado, all on the Pacific side.
Eric and his wife Marry-Ellen from Chicago went out today on our 33’ El Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Ramon. They checked-in a bit late this morning citing the tequila tasting they went to last night and came back after their long day looking fully recovered. Out by point 95 of the pacific side they caught 2 thirty pound Tuna and 3 thirty pound Dorado, two of which they released. They used live bait and feather lures. When I asked them how their day had gone, Eric replied: “If it were that easy it wouldn’t be called fishing”. What a sport. They caught their “dinner” within the first hour and proceeded to search for Marlin. They spotted a few but they didn’t want to bite. Before leaving the office and after purchasing a RedRum t-shirt or hat for everyone in their extended family, they wanted me to know that their crew was great and that we will definitely be seeing them next time they come to Cabo.
Ryan Donovan, aka Donny, aka Picoso, went out today with his buddies Gonzalo, Jerome and Marcial on our 32’ RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Manuel. Picoso (translation, Spicy) spent a lot of the time on the tower with Captain Javier looking for fish while Jerome and Marcial napped off their hangovers. Ryan insisted on using the spread bar and just when they were about to switch it out, a 40 pound Tuna hooked up. Ryan and Gonzalo jumped in the water to swim with the big one before they ended his sweet life. Gonazalo, being a world famous, professional, aquatic photographer got some good shots in the water which we will post as soon as they’re back from the dark room. They also caught a small twenty pound Dorado. And finally, while Ryan was looking into the expanse of the sea and sky, most likely after quite a few cervezas and a few too many hours of sun, he came up with an updated RedRum saying (not yet authorized by John “El Jefe” Donovan): “Do you like to fish, or just catch fish”. You’re going to have to ask him about this one. Just another philosophical moment at RedRum, ladies and gents.
Another great weekend. What are you waiting for???

Enough Tuna to Last Through the Winter
Leslie Jordan and her new husband Jerome went out with daughter Shelby and her friend Jillian on our 32’ RedBeam with Captain Marcial. Leslie and Jerome wed this past Tuesday on famous and beautiful Pedregal beach and decided to celebrate their amor fishing with us today and doing a great job at it! They fished Golden Gate on the Pacific side just thirteen miles offshore where the water was at eighty five degrees. They caught 8 Tuna ranging from twenty to forty pounds and on their way back caught 3 Dorado weighing up to twenty pounds.
Tom, Greg and Steven from Minnesota made me laugh more than usual this morning and even as they arrived back after an eight hour fishing trip they managed to keep the humor running high. Great anglers that they are, they didn’t pout after coming back with just one Tuna. “That’s why it’s called fishing” said Greg. Lucky for them they’ll also be going out on Saturday and get another try at reeling in a big Tuna. One thing is for sure, they won’t let anything get in their way when it comes to having a good time.
AJ and his wife from California went out on our 32’ RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Manuel. They went off to Golden Gate, about twelve miles offshore and caught 5 Tuna. Three of the Tuna were quite large and took us forever to vacuum seal. The three largest Tuna weighed 120lbs, 95lbs and 45 pounds. They’ll be taking their fish home with them tomorrow once it gets all frozen and will have enough Tuna meat to get them through the winter.
