Hey People!
So today we celebrated Tantrum's Captain Mr. Ramon's b-day with a delicious traditional "Tres Leches" cake, happy b-day big guy!
We had Andrew Reberry and his buds come down to enjoy some fishin' with us before one of them gives the big next step in saying I DO next Saturday, congrats buddy! These guys fished with shrimpheads for bait and got 4 nice yellowtail 30 - 40 Lbs each and 1 Dorado. Sweet dudes.
We also had another large group with Willie Gossett and his crew who caught 2 Marlin, 1 Bonita and 2 Dorado. They were only able to bring 1 Marlin in though..but still they had one good time there!
And Last but not least our friend Steve Lenker with his buds showed up right on time! Steve was so anxious to go out there and catch some fish that his buddy Pete said he had slept all night with his Harness all set and ready to rock...that's the spirit steve. They caught 1 Marlin and 2 Dorado.

Wacky Windy Wednesday!
So it was a windy Wednesday today, but still very good for our customers who enjoyed the day a lot.
Today John Horger with his buddies Rick, Ed and Robert finished their Stay and Play with a great fishing day in the pacific side with Captain Cesar.They caught 4 Dorado's and more than 10 Sierra! Great Job dudes!
Also, Jimmy and Tammy joined us today for their 2nd day out in the water with Captain Alex on El Nuevo. Today really made up for all those slow days out in the Pacific.

Catching up, once again... and possible exciting news on the horizon.
As many of you know, Diana, our former office manager left the RedRum family and is now teaching English in Thailand. That being said, Brooke and I have been busy picking up the slack and interviewing new candidates and we think we are very close to making a decision. We have always tried to build this business and the client base around the idea of "family." We want all the clients to feel like family and our employees to feel like family. We also know that all of you like to see the same smiling faces each and every year, so we are looking for someone that is willing to stick around for the long haul. That being said, I know there are some of you that get a little feisty when the fish report skips a day or two, things should be back to normal soon.
Mid-week last week around the 20th and 21st we had some good fishing again, with Captain Ron and his crew back at it again catching 4 Dorado and 12 Sierra. Scott Pearson and his crew also had some great fishing with the guys on Rum Runnin hooking them up with 6 Dorado and 1 Wahoo. Seemed like there were only 1 or 2 Marlin coming in each day from the 20th through the 23rd. We did have a few boats that struck out during that time frame as well, but it was usually clients that really wanted to focus on a specific species.
One guy that wanted to really focus Ryan Esko. Ryan was joining us for two days of fishing from Miami, Florida. Ryan and his gal, Valeria, had a few fish on day one, but got skunked on day two and still had not had a shot at a Marlin. They took a day to re-group and gave it one more shot and it paid off big time. Ryan landed his first ever Marlin after close to 24 hours of fishing. That is certainly dedication, and a fish that Ryan can be very proud of.
Stay tuned tomorrow, hopefully we have some exciting news about a new member of Team RedRum!

Slow Sharky Sunday
A cloudless sunny sky here in Cabo today. The winds have calmed down a bit with the temp a bit brisk in the mornings still.
It was a slow sharky Sunday today on RedRum boats.
Jordanna and Nilsua from British Columbia headed out on the RedBeam today with Capt. Cesar. They went out in front of the Westin on the Sea of Cortez. They saw about 3 Striped Marlin on the surface but they weren't hungry. With the 63 degree Fahrenheit currents moving in and out, that can mean shark. And sure enough, they reeled in 1 Hammerhead.
On their first day out on the water, John Horger and his group staying in the condos up at Portofino using the Stay & Play package are out on Day 1 of their 3 day package. With Chivo and Amerio on RumRunnin, they had a tough day out there. They didn't reel anything in today, so it goes sometimes with fishing. But they've got two more days on the water so we're going to wish them the best!
And last but not least was David Foret, also staying in the Portofino Condos with his crew Trey, Linda, Steve, DJ and Roy from Louisiana. They were out for the 2nd day with Alex on El Nuevo. Simliar to the other boats, there wasn't much action out there, they saw one Marlin jumping on the surface but no bites. Out at the Palmilla in about 71 degree F waters they reeled in a Hammerhead Shark as well. Both Hammerheads were released as well.
We're hoping the seas pick up tomorrow!
Thanks for checking in...

Catching....Up
Hola Hola
As many of you know, we have been a little short staffed and one of the areas that takes a hit is the fishing report. We are currently interviewing for the Office Manager position, and while finding someone like Luis or Diana will not be easy, we have met a bunch of great candidates already and I am confident we will find someone to y'alls liking as well as ours.
I know Brooke did a quick report yesterday, but I will try to catch you up on the days I missed before yesterday. I won't go into detail about every single charter, but rather try to give you an idea of what's been happening.
As you may have read, we had great Marlin and Dorado fishing from the 1st of the New Year through the middle of last week, and then things slowed down. We had some winds that kicked up the water on the Pacific, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and it made for some tough fishing. We tried to send boats to the Cortez to stay out of the choppy water, but the fishing wasn't all that great over there. It's always a bummer when folks come back without any flags flying, but that's part of the game. We had over 10 charters on Friday and Saturday alone and we did have 2 boats get skunked.
Bruce Billings and his crew were the lucky anglers on the 15th. Bringing in 5 Dorado while fishing with Javier, these guys caught more than any other boat that day. They also fished the 16th and were only able to get 2 Dorado. Their final day of fishing the 17th, they really wanted to focus on getting that Marlin, but it wasn't in the cards. The guys were here early every day, and they fished hard, but couldn't get that Billfish.
Cody and Tonya Lavelett, along with their pal Mike Kiser were the winners on the 16th with 5 Dorado fishing with Javier on Rum Runnin. They decided on day 2 that they wanted to give a go at some Tuna fishing. Javier had heard a few reports on the radio and they gave it a shot on the 17th. Well, as it sometimes goes with the Tuna, they had to search a bit, and they had to travel close to 30 miles offshore, but they were the first to find them and landed 9 when it was said and done.
Not everyone had the same success as the Billings crew or the Lavelett's and that is always hard for our clients to comprehend. Why do two boats fishing the same area, with the same bait and tackle have such different success rates? That's fishing guys. Cabo is always billed as the Sportfishing Capital of the World, and 95% of the time we are catching fish like crazy, but great days wouldn't be special if there weren't a few tough days. That being said, it always sucks for those folks that get unlucky out there.
The average over the weekend was one or two fish per boat, some got lucky and found the Tuna and were able to really get into them. A few boats even found nice schools of Dorado and got 3 or 4 fish.
The last two groups that did very well were the Blair's from Alvarado, Texas and Chistopher Walters group from Cape May, New Jersey.
The Blairs are friends of friends, and I told them in the morning, while I couldn't get them on a Billfish more than likely, we could most likely find some Tuna and have some fun. Check and Check. 12 Tuna for the day and Mrs. Blair came back into the office to tell me it was her best fishing experience of her life. Good stuff guys, glad it worked out well.
Christopher Walters was supposed to fish with two buddies on TantRum, but two more friends showed up rather unexpectedly, meaning they wouldn't all fit on the boat. Luckily, I was able to move them over to the RedBeam where they fished with Raymond and Fausto. I could write about their day, but Christopher sent me a nice email and he said it well enough. Below is Chris' email....
RedRum THANKS You guys are the BEST. I am so pleased with your service. I reserved and at the last moment had 2 other guests show up and you were able to upgrade me to a larger boat in less than 30 minutes. Thanks. And buy the way WE CAUGHT FISH 1 Marlin and 6 Tuna WOW Everything was 1st class. The father and son team of captain and mate were great maybe the best. I will be back. This trip I will remember for ever. Hope to see your dad at the atlantic city boat show soon.

Thanks for taking the time to read the report, and hopefully we can stay on top of it better for you. If you are looking to get out of the cold and enjoy a nice weekend on the water, we still have boats available for the last weekend of the month.

Holy Tuna!
Beautiful sunny skies on this Tuesday afternoon in Cabo. All of you surrounded by snow should wonder why you aren't down here for a visit!! We're waiting.
I apologize in the delay of getting the fish report out. With Diana being gone, and us in the process of interviewing for a new office manager, Ryan and I have stayed busy around the clock. And John you wonder? Well he's been working his tail off at the Trade Shows up north. So for those of you in San Mateo, Sacramento, Long Beach or Atlantic City, he'll be heading your way! Be sure to come by and say Hola!
So back to the fishing, John and Diane out on their 1st of 3 days fishing headed out with Javier on RumRunnin. They had an enjoyable day on the water as they headed to the Lighthouse in hopes of some action. They got more than the bargained for when they went about 26 miles out from the Faro and caught 10 Tuna! And don't forget the catch and released Striped Marlin they reeled in as well! We'll see you guys again tomorrow for some more action.
Mike and Tommy from Sweetwater, Texas also out on their 1st of 3 days fishing with RedRum, sailed aboard the RedBeam with Captain Cesar. The stayed along the shore on the Mar De Cortez and got 3 Dorado on some lures. Not bad for day 1 gentlemen.
Clark, James, Steve and Rick all from Montana and South Dakota (smart people to get out of that cold weather!) headed out on El Nuevo today. Just like RumRunnin they got into some Tuna as well. Right around Chivo, about 26 miles out from the Faro they reeled in 9 Tuna!
And last but not least was Albert who fished with us from the Royal Carribean on a half day aboard Tantrum. The seas weren't in his favor today as we know how fishing goes sometimes, he wasn't able to get anything to bite on his 1/2 day trip. With his fun cruise, he'll have more sailing ahead. Thanks for being a good sport about the sport of fishing Albert. Hope to see you back with RedRum!
Have a wonderful afternoon everybody!

Thursday
Thursday was a lite day, with only one boat going out. While it isn't great for business, it is necessary from time to time as the boys get a chance to fix up all the little things that like to go wrong after 8 hours on the water everyday.
Bruce and Patti Londgren and Ken and Debi Lathrop were our guests today, everyone hailing from Minnesota. Bruce and Ken told me in the morning that they wanted to catch Dorado, and weren't interested in Marlin. Captain Ramon was on it, hooking them up with 6 nice fish.
As it is a little chilly on the water in the mornings, Bruce had brought a long sleeve flannel shirt to wear first thing in the morning. Not sure if he could feel Ramon eyeing it all day or not, but by the end of the day, part of Ramon's tip was the flannel shirt with a camo pattern and white-tail deer all over it. Ramon recently found himself a new squeeze and her father is a big hunter here in southern Baja. Ramon has been joining her father every sunday at his ranch, and even shot his first deer this year. If you don't think Ramon is going to be wearing that shirt come Sunday you need your head checked, he was absolutely thrilled as he came in the office modeling it.
Bruce, that was a very nice gesture and we thank you and all our clients who are so gracious to our Captains and Mates. They appreciate your goodwill more than you know.
Thanks,
Ryan
