Today was a beautiful day, as April usually is here in Cabo. A slight breeze picked up in the afternoon, but nothing too crazy. The guys fished the Pacific, water temps were in the high 70's and they pulled spreader bars, plastic artificials and live bait Caballito.
Steve Davies and Rod Schick were out for their 4th and final day on the water with us today with Javier on Rum Runnin'. Steve has fished with us many times in the past and always had great success, but this trip the fish definitely won the battle. They pitched bait to several Marlin and even a Dorado, but just couldn't get the fish to bite. Steve said he would be back later this year and Rod is coming back in July. They told me that Javier did everything he could, they just chalked it up to fishing. Fellas, we really appreciate your business and understanding that sometimes, even in Cabo San Lucas, it really is FISHING and not CATCHING. It is clients like y'all that make this the best job in the world.
On TantRum today we had the mysterious, Robert and Kelly Lee. The recently married duo sent a request to fish under one name and a deposit under Kelly's maiden name. They had Nick and I confused like a beast in the office for a week or so. Anyway, once we realized that Finkle was Einhorn, we got everything set up for them to have a great day on the water. They started off inshore and had a blast catching 5 or 6 Sierra before heading offshore and catching a nice 104" Striped Marlin. Congrats on the great day guys and come back and see us soon.

Sunday Funday...
Today we had some really fun people fishing with us, and I always say, when you show up with a good attitude in the morning, you are going to have a great day on the water.
Our first charter was Wilson Hunt, who was down from Houston, Texas. Wilson fished with his better half and a few friends on Pescado III on Friday, but todays charter was all about Wilson. He had Marlin on his mind and wanted to make sure they got one. Wilson fished with Juan and Ramon on TantRum and had a great day. They actually spotted several Marlin and pitched a lot of bait before finally getting one to bite. Wilson caught and released a nice 150lb class Striped Marlin and he had it to the boat in 45 minutes or so. Nice to have met you Wilson and hopefully we will see you back here soon.
Next up was Gary Romano and 4 of his good friends from California. Gary is a boat owner himself and he really wanted to spend the day learning about fishing from the guys that do it everyday. He wanted to know about knot-tying, lure placement, pitching live bait, etc. Which brings up a great point, if any of you all ever want a tutorial on what the guys are doing, they are more than happy to show you. Gary had a great time with Americo, his crew saw a ton of sea life, but just couldn't get anything to stick when they did get bites.
Finally we had Heather Beaulieu down from Kirkland, Washington. She has fished with us in the past and was all set to fish by herself during this vacation but she met 3 guys on the plane that wanted to fish as well, but just hadn't figured out with whom yet. Well, we are certainly happy that Heather told them about RedRum and I am sure they are happy they met Heather. They had a great day on the water with 5 Sierra early and 2 Striped Marlin a little later in the day.
All the fishing was done on the Pacific, past the Lighthouse at Margharita. Water temps were in the high 70's and live Caballito was used for both the Sierra and Marlin.

Here...fishy...fishy...fishy !!
Hi everyone.
Once again we haven't been too lucky out in the oceans. Believe us guys, if there was a button to make those fish come in and bite, we would've pushed it years ago! unfortunately our button broke down =)
Today was sort of a good day for our friends who were fishing on Tantrum along with Captain Omar and Mate Juan. They were fishing off by Margarita Bay and came back to the office after a full day with 9 Sierra, 2 Jack Grevalle and 1 Snapper. Bill Baxter and Jim Lewis are very cool guys who understand that fishing has been slow but still decided to give it a try and well they did pretty good.
These guys didn't come back to the office after their day of fishing but they told me yesterday that if they caught something, they would take it to a restaurant to get it cooked up. We suggested Misiones de Kino because they have a variety of ways to cook the fish up. Hopefully, they will go there. In the meantime, thank you guys for fishing with us, we hope you enjoyed the day.
We had another boat out but it wasn't lucky, these guys did not catch anything and well it can be quite frustrating to come fishing for several days and not being able to catch what you're looking for. These are very cool guys and we really wanted them to catch something you know.
Hopefully their luck will change in the next few days.
Weather here in Cabo is warm with some clouds, mild waves, I would say humidity is about 20% but not that bad and winds blowing around 15-20 mph.
Maybe we will have better luck tomorrow.
Thank you all for reading and for being great customers, we value and appreciate all of you.
Thanks
Nick

Back to NADA!
Don't know why, we did good yesterday after the two Marlin....but no fish was spotted today.
A lot of squid though and whales!
Waters are warm, winds are blowing 15-20 mph, Caballito is being used as the main bait, but that seems not to matter right now, as it seems that the Pacific and Sea of Cortez, along with the fish have gone on strike.
We had two boats out today, and didn't catch a thing.
Funny comment a person said was...Fishing is like Marriage, it has its up and downs and it's a pain! as being a single person I really wouldn't know but I am sure he is right, that's the way life rolls in may different situations.
So maybe by tomorrow I will have great news. In the meantime all of you enjoy this day and remember to keep reading our posts and sending in your pictures.
Thanks!

Javier found some Marlin!
Today we had 4 charters on the books, but only had 3 groups show up. That 4th group definitely missed out on some great action, as Javier and Cesar found the fish today. Ulyses didn't really get a chance to find the fish, but we'll get to that later.
Water temps are still very warm, mid to high 70's, and Caballito is still the predominent bait being sold and the guys are trolling cedar plugs and hoochies for the Tuna, big lures in a variety of colors for Marlin and using live bait for the inshore species.
David Gregg is down from Solana Beach, California... right near my old stomping grounds. Congrats to David as his youngest daughter is getting married here in Los Cabos this weekend. David brought a group from the wedding party over to fish for the day with Ramon and Javier. Unfortunately, a few people had trouble getting down here so Ramon and Juan on TantRum got left out of the action today.
Javier headed out with David and a few of his friends and they had a great day on the water. The guys headed straight out from Cabo or El Zero as they like to call it and found some good water and action about 15 miles out. They fished the area and were rewarded with 2 Marlin that they got to the boat and another that they lost. Great day for David and his friends and hard work by Javier and Americo.
The other group we had today was the folks from ICore. They had two boats today, the 31' Grey Light and the 32' RedBeam. Unfortunately, the guys on Grey Light with Ulyses felt a little under the weather once they got out to the fishing grounds so they had to turn around and cut their day short. The guys on RedBeam, however, did a little better. Cesar put the guys on some fish right off the bat with some inshore fishing for Sierra. After 12 or so Sierra, they headed offshore and were able to catch and release a nice HammerHead Shark.
Great day overall for the RedRum crews!

Sierras in Cabo.
Hi there Everybody! Hope you are all doing fine!
We have very nice weather today here in Cabo. We are in the high 80*F, winds blowing between 5-10mph, not that bad at all and it's not choppy out there, so that helps prevent people from getting seasick, even though I heard one of our group did have to come in early because of this.
Today, we had 4 boats out. Initially it was only 3 but we had a walk in customer at 6:30 AM and he decided to come aboard and join the fun for half day.
On our 28' Tantrum, along with Captain Ramon and Mate Juan, we had Jesse Krueger and Scott Briles fishing out in the pacific side today. Biting has still been a bit slow. There has been Marlin spotted by they are just not biting. Anyhow, Scott and Jesse came back to the dock with 1 Sierra.
I was expecting the bite to be better this week, but I guess I still have to keep my fingers crossed, but hey, it's barely Tuesday, maybe by tomorrow we will have something better.
On Pescado III we had John Cronen, Randy Skarda and their kids fishing on this nice 42' and after fishing for half a day. They reeled in 8 Sierra's. The kids always have a blast when fishing, they really don't mind catching something small...they just want to catch something! Good Job guys!
From California we had father and son Paul and Luke Forgay fishing on our 32' RedBeam. After a hard day trying to go after Marlin, and then Tuna, and then Sierra they ended their journey with only 1 sierra. But it was a good catch anyways. I mean that's why the saying goes: "A bad day of fishing still beats a good day working" Thanks for coming along guys!
And last but not least on our 32' Rum Runnin, with Captain Javier and Mate Americo, we had Brian Graves fishing alonside his friends Tina, Todd, Trey and Lauren McDonald and son little Alex...or "Alejandro" as he calls him fishing out on a full day charter. They did good out there, reeled in 14 Sierra and were going to get it cooked up in Misiones de Kino. They wanted to get different kinds of dishes and give them all a try.
Enjoy your meal guys!
Thanks for reading.

Happy Easter to all!
Hi Guys,
Another slow day in cabo. There really isn't much to report today either (unfortunately).
Our Navy guys David, Tyler and Cassidi wen't out on Rum Runnin' for their last day of fishing and came back with 11 Yellowfin. They wen't out with Captain Alex and Mate Americo.
THey headed out 38 miles out and spotted 2 Marlins but they did not bite.
Today's fishing was done mostly by the Jaime Bank. That's where we were also told the yellowfin were spotted.
David, Tyler and Cassidi learned how to vaccum seal the fish, they are heading off tomorrow and offered to help vaccum seal so they could take it back with them. A lot of fish they are taking back home I must say. They were our lucky group this week and very awesome people. Hopefully we will see them again in the near future
Since they had a lot of fish they needed 2 coolers to take it back home! Safe Flight guys
On Tantrum we had Sean Russell and Beth Piantidosi who after a full day of fishing, came back with 2 Sierra. They did not stop by but I heard they had a great time.
and on a cruise/snorkeling trip we had Steve Leveroni and his crew who decided to start their trip at 10. They had an awesome day with Capt. Mike Powell. They had taken this trip last year, so they are familiar and decided to do it again this year.
Hopefully we'll see more of them in the upcoming months.
Happy Easter to all and have a great weekend!
