Love from Clients

Hola Team Redrum, just a note to let you know that we thoroughly enjoyed our day on Tantrum Saturday Nov. 7. Juan and Ramon worked very hard to get us some fish, they showed great expertise in spotting, enticing and hooking the 2 marlin we boated. It was truly the thrill of a lifetime to land a marlin and I doubt we could have achieved it without their help and coaching. We cant say enough about the treatment Team RedRum provided throughout the entire process and cant wait to fish with you again!

Thank You, Tom, Debbie, Angela and Dave.

Mondays Update

Today was the first day in the 2009 IGFA Rolex World Championships the 5th and final tournament to come to Cabo San Lucas in the last 5 weeks. The IGFA is an invitation only tournament with teams from 50 different countries around the world. Since May 2008, the last time the event was held, teams from all over the world have competed in 40-50 tournaments held in many different locales. The winning teams of these IGFA sponsored tournaments are invited to Cabo San Lucas, to fish with Cabo skippers and local Cabo boats for 4 days. Teams are paired up with 31' to 38' foot boats randomly, and no team will fish the same boat twice. This is a strict release only tournament with awards in Billfish, Dorado, Wahoo and Tuna categories. Three of our boats, Grey Light, El Nuevo RedRum and Pescado III are participating and all did well on day one. Alex from El Nuevo fished with a team from Brazil, and said they had a great time conversing in Spanish and Portuguese with each other, learning the differences between the two languages. Alex had a slow day catching only one billfish but also releasing several Dorado.

On Tantrum today, with Ramon and Juan, we had a share with Tommy Tran and Alice Ly, hooking up with Jeff Roberts. All went well for the new friends and they shared the day on the water bringing in 8 Dorado and 1 Striped Marlin.

Rick Navarro from Kansas is down visiting Los Cabos and wanted a day on the water with one of our Panga skippers. Rick fished with Jose on Ana Isabel and had a hell of a day. After catching and releasing a Striped Marlin, Rick also brought in 2 Dorado and 2 Yellowfin Tuna.

Joe Kus from Illinois also fished by himself today, with Captain Cesar on the RedBeam. Joe spent the morning catching 10 Dorado, releasing 6 of them. Joe came back to the office and told me about the great day he had on the water.
