Hi Guys.
Hope you are having a fantastic Monday! It started off a bit crazy here in the Morning. We had 3 scheduled boats but 2 more reservations made in the last minute, so there I am looking for partner boats at 6:00 AM, good thing we were able to find them!
This morning started off a bit warm and then all of the sudden we had winds blowing 15 mph, it got very cloudy and we even though it was going to rain, but after a few minutes, sky was back to normal, no more winds and it turned out to be one hot, sort of humid, day!
So we had a total of 5 boats out today.
Michael Kelly and his brother Jaime wen't out on the 34' Topaz Ziggy with Captain Manuel and mate Alex. After a full day out in the water they hit 1 Marlin and 1 Dorado. Don't know the actual weight and size of them but customer said it was pretty big. After they came back to the office they decided to go out for the rest of the week so You will be reading more about Mike and Jaime throuout this week's fish reports. Hopefully they will catch tons of fish to bring back home!
Another great group were the Mathis. These folks went out on our 33' Nuevo and had an awesome day out by the different spots were fish are biting (Archs, Cabeza de Ballena, Jaime Bank, Golden Gate) They ended the day with 1 striped Marlin (150 Lbs) 2 yelllowfin and 1 wahoo.
Lately we've been striking a lot of wahoo, yellowfin and Marlin. Dorado has also been part of the menu but it has been hiding a bit.
Our first share group was Lupe Navarro along with Sandy Mattingly and Ruben Davies. These nice people wen't fishin on our 28' and came back with a nice Striped Marlin! This trip had been scheduled for quite a while now and Today was the day they were finally able to go out and catch some fish!!!
On our Parter boat Edith II we had Chris Vine along with his buddy Ken. These guys showed up this morning looking for a boat and fortunately I was able to find one for them!!!
They spent 8 hours out fishing on the pacific side and came back with 2 yellowfin and 2 dorado.
Thanks guys!
And our last group was with Ty and Carmichael, Don and Lynne Pammler who fished with Captain Ramon and Juan. This was our second share group and after 8 hours of being in the ocean, these nice people were able to reel in 2 wahoo! I wasn't really sure how they decided who would keep the fish, they drew some papers and got it figured out on their own.
What I do know is that they had an awesome time!!!
Thanks for reading guys!!!

Fish Report. Have a great weekend!
How's everyone enjoying their Saturday? Cabo San Lucas is simply amazing, the weather could not be any better!!! It's a sunny hot day (not humid) very nice, almost want to get out of the office to head out to the beach!
Sorry I haven't posted the fish report these couple of days, busy has been very VERY busy, we can't complain though, by the time I want to begin with the fish report we have customers come in the office with lots of bags of fish for us to Vacuum Seal and freeze! Which of course this means that fishing in the last couple of days has been....AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
On May 13th we had 3 boats heading out by Cabeza de Ballena a.k.a Chileno Bay, most of you are probably familiar with this place as it's on the way to San Jose del Cabo, it's the Public Beach just between Tule and Las Viudas beach. Very nice place by the way.
So on May 13th and 14th we had Long time customer Joe and Karen Assenza fishing for two days on Rum Runnin. The 13th was a great day for them as they came back with 16 Yellowfin Tuna, they were out for a full day with Captain Javier and Mate Americo and they did everything, kite fishing, trolling, etc to make this trip unforgettable for the Assenzas!
The second day however wasn't the same, as they didn't have much luck out there. I guess it was becuase waves were a bit rough and of course that's never any good, right?
We will be seeing more of Joe in September and October. SO until then, see you soon buddy!
For a half day trip on the 13th Laura Aaron Raff were fishing with Captain Ramon and Mate Juan aboard our 28' Tantrum. These nice folks came back with a 180 Lbs Striped Marlin caught and released by CERRO LA PUNTA which is like 12 miles off the Marina. They were happy because the trip was very worth it! Half a day was a lucky day for these guys! Thanks and don't forget to send in some pics with that Marlin!!!
We also have William Minton and his buddies fishing with us since Thursday with Captain Alex aboard our 33' Nuevo. They are also staying at the Portofino Condos and all they've been doing since Day 1 of fishing is catch fish! on May 13th these guys reeled in 10 yellowfin and 1 Dorado at the Punta Ballena site, took some fish back but most of it was left to Vacuum Seal and Freeze. On May 14th they reeled in 11 Yellowfin as well and Today they are still out fishing so I don't know what their number is so far. I am pretty sure they will have more fish. Excellent guys!!!!! Thanks for enjoying the trip.
For a two day fishing trip and a stay at the Condo we had Family members Douglas Howerton and his kids fishing with us on the 14th and on the 15th.
On the 14th these guys reeled in only 2 Yellowfin the biggest one being 20 Lbs. 2 members of this party decided not to join their crew for a second day of fishing as the water was too rough. So the other two (Micah and John) had the task to bring back some food on day 2....and MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, these guys just came back from fishing and caught 17 yellowfin! they were out by the Golden Gate bank and evenly reeled in the fish...although 17 is a pretty hard number to even so, I am guessing one of them had an extra shot!
They leave tomorrow, glad you decided to fish with us guys and we're glad you enjoyed the trip!
We also had Eddie Machia and his crew members fish with us on the 12th and on the 14th. The Machias are Ryan's College budds so of course they had a blast! old friends getting back together to party out is always so awesome. On Day 1 they caught 12 Yellowfin Tuna about 15 Lbs each, on Day 3 they did 3 Striped Marlin (NICE!) and a beautiful 61', 70 Lbs Wahoo! Woot Woot! you know this is a big fish! they were happy to reel it in and happy they took this trip, I mean it's not like you see your friends everyday after you graduate right, and what is better than getting back together, go out fishin and actually catch something! 2 birds 1 stone! Thanks guys see you soon.

Tuna makes it to Cabo!
Nice weather here in Cabo San Lucas today but the Marina seems so lonely today though, It's a nice day out there people!!!!
We had an awesome day people! We had 4 boats out today. Tantrum, RumURnnin, Nuevo and Anzuelo and they all had a wonderful day out there. Tuna are back in business! That is what's on the menu this week or so it seems.
We had a shared party aboard out 28' Tantrum. Captain Ramon and mate Juan did a fine job fishing out by the Pacific side today. We had Steve Munnell and Dave Burgin sharing turns in reeling in those 16 yellowfin these guys caught. The biggest one was 25 Lbs. Some where smaller but they were still a lot of fun catching!
Seriously people, Tuna this week have been all up in the Pacific just waiting to be caught! Nice job Steve and Dave. Glad you decided to join the fun today.
On our 33' Nuevo we had William Salvinski, Jody Riley, Todd and Lynne Krueger and Paul Korhonen fishing for a full day out by the Pacific and these guys reeled in 19 Yellowfin!!! there was one point where they had 5 Yellowfins on the lines and only 3 guys reelign in so they couldn't let the other 2 get away. What they did was have the ladies come to the rescue!
These guys had an awesome time out there, brought back the fish to get it vacuumed sealed and frozen up. Thanks for fishing with us!
On Anzuelo, the biggest tuna caught was 110 Lbs!! surely a prize winning fish for today. The guys decided not to mount it. Barbara Costelly was the lucky angler who got to reel in this huge fish! Congratulations Barbara!!!! She came fishing with her family Bryan, Jill and Bret.
They had a great time out there. Captain Salvador did an amazing job and has been doing so for a long time now! Thanks guys.
And last but not least we had Bert Telles and his crew members fish aboard the 32' RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Americo. These guys practically caught and released most of their fish. Just wanted to have some fun, but not really looking into keeping them. They caught a total of 15 Yellowfin and released 10 of them. I think they took those 5 to some restaurant to get it cooked up. I really don't know as they didn't come back to the office but Captain says they had a great time out there! Thank you guys so much for doing this =)
So Tuna are in da house, they decided to come back to give Cabo another try. Let's see how we do tomorrow! don't miss out on the 411!
Thank you all for reading.

Dia de los Madres... and IGFA
While yesterday was Mother's Day in the states, here in Mexico they celebrate on the 10th of May. Entonces, Feliz dia de las madres a todo las madres!!
Also welcome Tournament Anglers from the International Game Fish Association or IGFA. Today was the start of the invitation only Rolex IGFA World Championships. Good luck to all the anglers and especially those on RedRum Sportfishing's Pescado III.
John Matteson, Art Davis, and Michael Marks were back at on TantRum again today. After catching their weight in Yellowfin yesterday, they really wanted to try some inshore fishing, and Roostertail's were the prime target. They headed up the Sea of Cortez to chase some reports of some really nice sized Roosters and it didn't take Ramon long to find the spot. They had 4 huge Roosters in the 35-40lb range and a few Jack Crevalle's of the same size.
Next up we had Travis Knott and his buddies who hailed from all over the US. They fished with Omar and Jesus on Rum Runnin today. The guys were looking for a recommendation and like I said, while the Tuna are running, get out there and hammer them. Well hammer them they did, the guys caught their limit catching 16 Yellowfin.
Today we also had the Platt Family from Virginia down and they had a great day on the water as well. Gary and his son Michael, Daughter Kendra and her husband John had a blast bringing in 8 Yellowfin.
Pescado III had one Marlin during IGFA fishing, only 7 Marlin were caught throughout the fishing day. Congrats to Captain Marshall. If he can get one or two more in the coming days he should be able to crack the Top 10.
Explain to me why they have a Marlin tournament in May again?

Tuna, TUna, TUNa, TUNA!!!!!!
Tuna are still all over the place, the boys found 4 huge schools all over the Pacific from San Jaime to North of Golden Gate. Water temps were in the high 60's, low 70's and when I asked what the Tuna were eating the boys laughed at me. Whatever they put on the water was getting bit, from Cedar Plugs, to Spreader Bars, to Hoochies.
I had a little incentive program in the works today, any Captain that was able to land a Tuna more than 50lbs got a $50 tip from me. Let's see how they did....
The ever pleasent Monks group was back for their final day on the water with Javier and Americo on Rum Runnin and Alex and Manuel on El Nuevo RedRum. The folks on Rum Runnin had 13 Yellowfin and the guys on El Nuevo had 11. These 9 guys had nearly 70 Yellowfin Tuna over the last 3 days. I know the folks who fished last week would have really liked to have seen those fish a few days earlier. Just goes to show how quickly the ocean can wake up.
Ray Laurie and his crew fished with Lupe and Ricardo on Cabo Chica and had a great day as well. They weren't able to get quite as many as the other guys, but they did manage to haul in 7 Yellowfin Tuna and a nice Dorado. A phenominal day by anyone's standard.
John Matteson, Art Davis, and Michael Marks joined Ramon and Juan aboard TantRum today to and they got out there and chased the Tuna as well. They told me they wanted to do a little inshore fishing, but I suggested they wait until tomorrow for that. When the Tuna are biting, you have to get out there and make a go of it. They finished the day with 13 Yellowfin.
And for everyone worried about who got my $50 for the biggest Tuna... no one. Nobody was able to catch one over 50lbs. They tried to throw live bait, tried to get some bigger bait down deep, tried some spreader bars way back, but couldn't make it happen.
Maybe next time boys!
Happy Mothers Day to all the Mom's out there!

Yellowfin are back in business!
Wow another great fishing day and an awesome hot sunny day in Cabo San Lucas. Fishing seems to be getting better every day. We started off with a slow week but it began picking up by Wednesday.
We only had 2 boats out hauling the Monks' party.
RumRunnin was the first one to come back in after a full day of fishing and as we thought...they did beat their own score from yesterday. Instead of coming back to the office with only 7 yellowfin, they decided to bring in 20 yellowfin caught during their fishing trip. You should see the amount of bags in our sink ready to be vacuumed sealed and frozen up for them! It's going to be one loooong afternoon!
On Nuevo, Mike Monks and his crew reeled in a total of 14 yellowfin! awesome guys. Lets see how they do tomorrow.
Thanks

May 7th Fish Report.
Good Morning everyone. Hope y'all are enjoying a fantastic Saturday and have all your mothers' day gifts ready and wrapped up for tomorrow! How will you guys celebrate mother's day? All I know is that I will call my mom who's in Oceanside California!! (760) Rules!
I came accross this post:
"I traded eyeliner for dark circles, salon hair cuts for ponytails, bubble baths for short showers, late nights for early mornings, designer purses for diaper bags & awesome shoes for flip flops. Great Moms will always give up ANYTHING for their kids because they are worth it!! "

HAPPY (EARLY) MOTHER'S DAY
Ok, now after my 2 minutes of "momma's boy phase" let's get on with the fishing report from yesterday May 7th.
So we had 5 boats out yesterday, with one of them being a little hard to find after a last minute boat switch, you should've seen us looking for a bigger boat...it was hard, but not impossible! we managed it just right!
We had long time customer and friend Chris Rowe with his crew on the 50' Fearless. Chris was very pleased with the whole trip. Him and his buddies reeled in 22 Yellowfin, 2 Striped Marlin, 4 Dorado and 2 Mako Shark! AWESOME!!!!
We are now in one of the Best months for many of the fish here in Cabo San Lucas. And I am talking about Dorado, Snapper, Roosterfish, Wahoo and Striped Marlin among others! so Kudos for that people!!!
Thanks Chris, see you in November buddy!
A couple of nice folks, Daniel and William Shattuc, also fished with us for the first time. They got off a cruiser at 8AM and hopped on Tantrum with Captain Ramon and Mate Juan who were already waiting for them at the main dock. These guys went out fishing near Cerro Blanco and spotted a Wahoo which in the end decided to bite afterall! Great job guys. Glad you decided to make this trip possible!!! See you soon.
Johnny Warren and his party of 6 also fished with us aboard the 33' Ziggy along with Captain Manuel and Mate Alex. These guys decided to switch sites, instead of going to Cerro Blanco or the light house they stuck by the Archs and after a wild chase of Marlin, they caught and released 2 of them. NICELY DONE BOYS!
And last but not least aboard our 32' RumRunnin and 33' partner boat Cabo Chica, was Mike Monks and his party of 9. These guys of course decided to do a little "let's see who catches more fish" type of game and in the end they both came back as winners. On RumRunnin with Captain Omar and mate Americo the guys reeled in 7 Yellowfin tuna, while in Cabo Chica the guys also did very good. They caught and released a 150 Lb Marlin, caught and kept 3 Yellowfin and 1 Dorado. They fished by the 190 bank.
These guys -Monks- are fishing again with us today and Sunday will be their last day. Hope they beat yesterday's record!! Come back for today's fish report later on!!!
Thanks for Reading.
