Today Cabo is experiencing strong winds around 15 mph which are causing the very rough waves and seasickness, a bit odd for this time of year and it's funny that it seems to have a pattern one day no wind, the next day strong winds, then no wind and so on so forht. I guess tomorrow it will be better.
Some customers came in this morning from Arizona and they were like it has been very cold since we got here this is nothing compared to Arizona! I can imagine, today it was VERY cold in the morning, and as the morning passed, the sun decided to show its face but the winds remained.
Today we only had 2 boats out and our fishing was done mostly on the Sea of Cortez, this is because the Pacific is too wild!
On our 33' Nuevo, Captain Alex and Mate Manuel went out with Brian Ladin and his crew who decided to switch from a full day to a half day. They left the Marina at about 11 AM and came back a bit early becuase it was too rough out there. Of course this didn't stop them from catching and releasing a Striped Marlin. This was all they caught and that's not bad for only a few hours of fishing and considering the weather, I can say they did great!
Another big party of 7 was John Devine and his people. They decided to go out for a full day on the 42' Pescado III and enjoy a day all together on the boat instead of taking different boats. There day was not bad either as they came back with 2 Striped Marlin and 6 yellowfin. Awesome guys!
Hopefully tomorrow the weather will be much more different and we won't have anybody get sick while out with our guys!
Thank you all for reading

Jimbo "The Marlin Master" Carmouche!
Howdy peeps!
It's been a couple of days since I last wrote the fish report. Sorry things get a bit busy more often, which is cool with us, but sometimes this doesn't allow me to post the reports after the boats come back....just be a bit patient with me ok? Thank you so much, I appreciate it.
But now, let get you that 411 you've been waiting for...........So... lets go back in time.....Yes, back to June 1st, 2010........... tada!!!
Today was a very warm day, a bit chilly in the morning but hot during the afternoon with temerature being 92F while waves were chest high and a bit rough...ahhh but this did not stop all are good professional and non professional fishermen to stop their day o' fun! Seasickness??? pop some dramamine or scopace and voila!
On this day we did very good with yellowfin tuna, ok with Dorado and won the lottery with, another successful story, a 180 Lb Marlin caught, reeled in and released by another member of the Carmouche Party!!! These guys were on a role!!!!!
Tunas were very co-operative, we caught a total of 28 and we only had 3 boats out. Not bad huh?
So the day began like this.........(time warp!!!!)
Jim Gobbi and crew members John, Steve, Tyler, Jordan and Kato came fishing with us for a full day. Their trip was planned ahead a long time ago by Julie. These guys are staying above the redrum office so there were here just in time. It would've been funny if they would've been the last ones to arrive or be very late, but fortunately they didn't.
They went off on the 32' RumRunnin and while being escorted to the boat by Mate Americo, their ladies were saying goodbye, taking pictures and wishing them goodluck from the balcony that has the Marina view. They fished with Captain Javier and came back with 9 Yellowfin Tuna the biggest being around 30 Lbs. and 1 Dorado. SHARP guys! great job!
Dustin & Elizabeth Dorsey also fished with us on this day. They went out on the 28' ReelRum with Captain Jesus and Mate Edgar. They went out for a full day on the Pacific side and their catch through out the day were 7 yellowfin. Like I said earlier, tunas were being good players! Nicely done you guys.
The last group to go out on this day were once again the Carmouche's. This was also their last trip with RedRum and last night staying at the Portofino Condos. These fellas came back with 12 Tuna and (drum roll.......) a 180 Lb. Striped Marlin!!!! Guess who reeled it in this time....No, not 17 yr old Hunter but his Father Jimbo! I can see where hunter got his skills from he has a great mentor!...no wonder.
Jim faught this marlin for a few minutes before the Marlin decided to lets say...take the day off. It was quite an experience and we are glad to name Jim the new Marlin Master. The marlin was a good fighter but Jim played the right card! Great job Jimbo. The rest of the crew were cheering for Jim as he faught this monster fish! In the end they all came back to the office to get their fish frozen up and vaccum seeled. You can imagine...the office was loud! LOL I am a person who talks very loud and with all the good vibes and excitement they came back with, well this got me on a roll!
Unfortunately the Carmouche party had to say "hasta la vista baby" to Cabo yesterday and we really hope they decide to come again and have another awesome trip and pass on the legacy to another member of their Royal Partaaayy!
Thanks guys for the awesome attitude, it was my pleasure meeting you all and hope to do it again soon.
June 2nd, 2010:
Yesterday we also had a regular customer Paul Gaske fishing with us for a half day trip on a Panga and came back with 5 yellowfin and 1 roosterfish. This nice fella already knew everything he had to do and what he would except...so my morning speel was not even necessary.....My whole "you have to hold on to the fishing licenses. When you get on the boat the mate will ask for them and hand them over to the port Cap..........STOP! He's a regular.....the man knows this stuff already! but it was actually the first time I had met him. Of course he did not tell me to stop or shut me up he was very polite but he seemed anxious to go out, so I had to cut my speel shorter than usual. LOL. He had a great time out there with Carlos. I guess I will be seeing him more often!
Thank you all for reading and thank you for liking my reports. It's nice to hear people actually make comments when the walk into the office! "You're the guy who writes the reports" "you write just the way you talk" "You do a good job" 'Keep em comin'" and so I will! =)
Have an awesome day my friends!

Hunter Carmouche: The Marlin Tamer!
Hi again,
Today's fishing was up and down again. It's rough out there and everybody said that the guys did their best, but fish decided not to bite. We did have 2 successful stories though, one of them includes a 17 yr old buddy who reeled in his first striped marlin. I will give details further ahead.
The marina has been very lonely today, not much action or activity going on, but hopefully it will start picking up by tomorrow. I am guessing it's because many people decided not to travel for this memorial day weekend???? who knows.
Any how, Our first group includes a party of 6 aboard Rum Runnin with Captain Javier and mate Americo. This was Shelby Posner, Ernest, Hunter, William, Harry, Andrew and Matt. These guys started off with some offshore fishing on the pacific side but decided to stick to doing some inshore fishing because someone on board got a bit seasick. But this did not stop the guys from continuing their search for big fish and by the end of their trip they came back with a 25 Lb. Yellowfin. Not too bad, considering the waves, winds and all! They decided to bring the fish back with them and get it cooked up later tonight and have a nice "cena" (dinner) Thank you guys for coming!
Our second group is the Carmouche Party. and the words that pop into my head when I think of them are 2: Awesome gentlemen. I met them yesterday while I was checking them into the Portofino Condo. They are all very down to earth and very nice guys. and today was a lucky day as they came back with Yellowfin and a 150 Lb. Marlin. But this Marlin has a story behind it....You see, the Carmouche's were accompanied by Jimbo's 17 yr old son and Jim's oldest grandson Hunter.
This buddy reeled in the 150 Lb Marlin all on his own and it only took him 30 mins! Great going!
Jim Carmouche, Jimbo, Charlie, Pete and Friend Lloyd Fisher witnessed Hunter catch the 150 Lb Striped Marlin all on his own and his very first!
Too bad they didn't do the old bucket trick! hunter, you have no idea how hard it is to reel in a bucket! That's what the guys did to me when I first worked here. You can say my Cherry was popped in the ocean! LOL
Anyhow, these guuys had a great time today and they are really looking forward to do this again on Tuesday!.
Let's see how they do then!
Thanks for reading!

Dedicated to: Our Fallen Heroes
Happy Memorial day weekend to all!
Hope everyone is enjoying this 3 day weekend but lets keep in mind who we are actually remembering ...our fallen heroes. If you don't have anyone who has ever served in your family, it's still about respect for those who have lost someone. As you read this we have women and men making the ultimate sacrifice so that we can all enjoy the country today! Be with your families and enjoy their company this weekend, but keep it in perspective and take a moment to reflect for those who cannot be with us any longer. This is for all the brave women and men who are in the front lines...To you, the RedRum team says Thank you!!!
Fishing has been on and off these past few days and unfortunately we've had some boats coming back without any fish....It's fishing not catching guys!!
Jessica Fidrych and David Cooley fished with us yesterday on the 28' ReelRum. They went out for a full day but came back early as the waters were somewhat choppy and caused a minor seasick motion. Even though they came back early, they managed to reel in a 35 Lb. Yellowfin Tuna by the 95 Bank. These guys were very excited about their trip that they hardley caught any sleep!
Thanks guys for coming to fish with us!
On a half day we had Paul Marchesani and his family fishing about the 32' RedBeam for half a day. These folks had an awesome day out in the Pacific with Captain Cesar and Mate Ramon. They reeled in 3 yellowfin and a striped Marlin which was caught and released. Their tuna was going to get cooked at Misiones de Kino later that night, so hopefully they enjoyed their meal!
We had a CCA group from Louisianna with Blake Fouquier, Brant and Charles fishing aboard the 33' Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel. These guys had a great day and reeled in more fish than what was really allowed!! They caught 16 yellowfin tuna all on their own! while the guys did the fishing, the girls decided to make it a day of their own as well and spent most of it doing some shopping! Maybe they'll decide to join their crew on their second trip tomorrow. We will let y'all know!
And last but not least we had Kimberly Rouleau and Christopher Calvillo fishing aboard the 28' with captain Omar and Mate Juan. These folks reeled in 3 yellowfin tuna and a Marlin that was caught and released. I heard they had a great time. Thank you guys for fishing with us. They were out by the sea of cortez and several hot spots that lead to this gigantic salt water pool =)
I will keep you updated with the latest 411 from RedRum!

Back to work.
I am ready and back to work! First off I want to say thank you to all of you who have congratulated me for my Graduation last Friday. I flew back to Mexico City to receive my Diploma for my Masters Degree in International Business Administration at Alliant International University (AIU) Came back to the office Yesterday and have been catching up on the job!
Luckily everything is ok, Ryan did a great job in my abscense...of course, he owns the place LOL!
So this is the reason why I did not post yesterday's fish report, had some catching up to do. But ok this is what happend yesterday.
We had 4 boats out 2 of them were half day trips while the other 2 were full day.
On the Panga we had Kurt Solomon, his kids Kurt and Emily and friend Evan fishing for 5 hours. Did some inshore fishing by the sea of cortez and came back with 1 Tuna and 3 Rooster fish. They decided to have their fish cooked up at Misiones de Kino. I made sure to tell the chef to do some Ceviche with the Tuna and Sushimi with the Rooster....So I hope they enjoyed their meal and hope to see these guys again real soon! Kurt fished with us last March.
On our 28' we had Lino Vitek and his crew fishing for a full day with Captain Cesar and Mate Omar. These guys had a blast out there and reeled in 2 Dorado, 1 Yellowtail Tuna and a 150Lbs Striped Marlin! awesome buddies! After their day ended they did not come back to the office, so we got all this information from our Crew. Hope to see you guys soon!
Roy Clark went fishing on his own aboard our 32' RumRunnin for 1/2 day. After a lot of hard work to find the fish, he was able to reel in 3 yellowtail. Captain Javier and mate Americo did their best to find the fish for Roy but the Marlin decided not to bite this time...Sorry Roy, maybe next time? Roy came back to the office and said he had a great time and that the guys tried very hard. We are glad to know and hear this. Thanks Roy, hope to see you soon.
And last but not least we had Javier Ranger and Marisol Gomez fishing on our 33' Nuevo along with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel. They first wanted to do a half day but in the end decided to go for a full day instead...which is always better! It's a good thing they did change their mind because who knows if they would've caught the 3 yellowfin tuna they did? They are flying out today but before they leave, they went to Misiones de Kino yesterday afternoon to get their fish fixed up for them in 6 different ways! yummy. Hope they enjoyed the meal!
Today we only have 2 boats out. I will let you know how we did later on today.
Thank for reading.

Sorry for the lapse folks....
Nick, our office manager extroidonaire, is back at home in Mexico City, accepting his diploma. We are super happy for Nick and want to send a big congratulations from everyone here at RedRum to recognize this accomplishment.
That being said, hurry back, fishing is picking up and the boats are booked.
Fishing has stayed strong the last few days and I will try to bundle a few days into one post just to save a few minutes. Roosters and Jack Crevalles, of awesome size, are still all over the inshore waters and folks are getting some great fish doing a little inshore in the morning. Offshore (which is only a few miles right now) has been busy with Wahoo and Marlin. Had a boat do a half-day today and they were back by 11:30am with 3 Roosters, a Jack Crevalle and a Marlin. Killer half-day!!!!
Let's head back to Friday and start there.
Michael and Jamie Kelly, the New Jersey brothers who fished with us 5 times over the last week had their 5th and final outing on Friday and they finished with a Marlin, just like they wanted to. We had talked about chasing Tuna, but the allure of the Marlin was too much to pass up. Michael and Jamie always fish the east coast and they don't see as many Marlin so it was nice to see them get one last Striper before they headed home. This duo has fished with us for several years now and it is nice to see the same brothers coming down here and spending this time together. We appreciate you guys supporting RedRum and look forward to seeing you next year. Good luck with the Bluefins this summer and fall guys!
Friday, we also had the 3rd and final charter for Nick Rauber and his group who were in from Louisiana. After 8 Yellowfin on day one and 8 Roosters on day two, I thought the guys were going to come back with 8 Marlin flags flying. They certainly saw 8 Marlin in the short time they spent on the water, but after having a hard time getting the fish to bite, the guys decided to leave well enough alone and they headed in after only 2.5 hours on the water. Hope to see all you guys back down here next year.
Ryan Schmidt, Jason Rosell and Kurt Ceballas joined the boys on TantRum on Friday and they had a bit better luck getting the Marlin to bite. (Say that 5 times fast.) The guys put the time in on the water and finally got one to bite, catching and releasing a nice 8.5' Marlin.
Saturday we had an awesome weather day, with a slight breeze on the Pacific in the afternoon.
Atwell Goins along with his wife Lesa, and their friends Bobby and Suzanne Rolston came to visit us from Corsicana, Texas. They are good friends with Clint, Kenneth and Barbarra Arthur from Concan, and the Arthurs were nice enough to pass our name along. Well Atwell and his crew had a wonderful day out on the water and soon enough will have an awesome mount to show for it. The fish weren't biting offshore in the morning so they went inshore and the guys got them hooked up with 3 Roosters and a Jack Crevalle. After messing around inshore they decided to see if they could find a hungry Marlin and went back offshore and were lucky enough to find a beautiful 8'6'' Striped Marlin. This was Lesa's first Marlin so she decided to commemorate the event with a trophy! Congrats to Lesa, what a great accomplishment.
Saturday we also had the first of two charters for Eddie and Bonnie Rafanan. This was the first time that Eddie and Bonnie fished with us and they are scheduled for two days with Juan and Ramon on TantRum. They couldn't get anything to bite offshore so they headed in and landed 3 Spanish Mackeral and Roosterfish. Nice little inshore day and better than a skunk flag flying.
On Sunday we had Ryan and Richard Reid along with buddies Scot Nelson and Brad Gray. The guys headed out with Javier and Americo in search of some Roosters and maybe a Marlin or Wahoo in the afternoon. They got into the Roosters early but had a hard time hooking up, they did catch and release 1 nice Rooster, but several got away. Once they headed offshore, they saw tons of Marlin, but none were hungry. To salvage the day and dinner plans, they did hook and land a nice Yellowfin to provide tacos for a few days.
On Monday, Dale and Julia Vith joined the guys on ReelRum for a half-day charter. They did a few hours inshore and few hours offshore and came back before noon after releasing several nice Roosterfish.
John and Janice Oexeman along with Dan and Diane Perkins also fished a half-day today with Omar and Americo on Rum Runnin. These guys were back by 11:30am because someone wasn't feeling 100%. That being said, they still managed to bring in 3 Roosters, 1 Jack Crevalle, and a Marlin. That is an awesome half-day!
Craig and Barbara Eirich fished today aboard El Nuevo RedRum and Alex and Manuel headed offshore and while the Marlin weren't biting early, they found the Tuna. Alex was about 12 miles off the point here in Cabo when he found a nice little school of Yellowfin. They were able to stay with the school for an hour or so and they brought in 8 nice Yellowfin Tuna.
Finally, our new Amigos, Eddie and Bonnie Rafanan were back at it today with Juan and Ramon on TantRum and they had an awesome day. They headed offshore to try to get on the Marlin bite and Juan and Ramon had them dialed in. Eddie and Bonnie each brought in the first Marlin of their lives today! They spent a total of almost 2 hours fighting some really nice sized Stripers. Congrats to you guys and hopefully we see you again before too long.

They certainly saw 8 Marlin in the short time they spent on the water, but after having a hard time getting the fish to bite, the guys decided to leave well enough alone and they headed in after only 2.5 hours on the water. Hope to see all you guys back down here next year.
Ryan Schmidt, Jason Rosell and Kurt Ceballas joined the boys on TantRum on Friday and they had a bit better luck getting the Marlin to bite. (Say that 5 times fast.) The guys put the time in on the water and finally got one to bite, catching and releasing a nice 8.5' Marlin.
Saturday we had an awesome weather day, with a slight breeze on the Pacific in the afternoon.
Atwell Goins along with his wife Lesa, and their friends Bobby and Suzanne Rolston came to visit us from Corsicana, Texas. They are good friends with Clint, Kenneth and Barbarra Arthur from Concan, and the Arthurs were nice enough to pass our name along. Well Atwell and his crew had a wonderful day out on the water and soon enough will have an awesome mount to show for it. The fish weren't biting offshore in the morning so they went inshore and the guys got them hooked up with 3 Roosters and a Jack Crevalle. After messing around inshore they decided to see if they could find a hungry Marlin and went back offshore and were lucky enough to find a beautiful 8'6'' Striped Marlin. This was Lesa's first Marlin so she decided to commemorate the event with a trophy! Congrats to Lesa, what a great accomplishment.
Saturday we also had the first of two charters for Eddie and Bonnie Rafanan. This was the first time that Eddie and Bonnie fished with us and they are scheduled for two days with Juan and Ramon on TantRum. They couldn't get anything to bite offshore so they headed in and landed 3 Spanish Mackeral and Roosterfish. Nice little inshore day and better than a skunk flag flying.
On Sunday we had Ryan and Richard Reid along with buddies Scot Nelson and Brad Gray. The guys headed out with Javier and Americo in search of some Roosters and maybe a Marlin or Wahoo in the afternoon. They got into the Roosters early but had a hard time hooking up, they did catch and release 1 nice Rooster, but several got away. Once they headed offshore, they saw tons of Marlin, but none were hungry. To salvage the day and dinner plans, they did hook and land a nice Yellowfin to provide tacos for a few days.
On Monday, Dale and Julia Vith joined the guys on ReelRum for a half-day charter. They did a few hours inshore and few hours offshore and came back before noon after releasing several nice Roosterfish.
John and Janice Oexeman along with Dan and Diane Perkins also fished a half-day today with Omar and Americo on Rum Runnin. These guys were back by 11:30am because someone wasn't feeling 100%. That being said, they still managed to bring in 3 Roosters, 1 Jack Crevalle, and a Marlin. That is an awesome half-day!
Craig and Barbara Eirich fished today aboard El Nuevo RedRum and Alex and Manuel headed offshore and while the Marlin weren't biting early, they found the Tuna. Alex was about 12 miles off the point here in Cabo when he found a nice little school of Yellowfin. They were able to stay with the school for an hour or so and they brought in 8 nice Yellowfin Tuna.
Finally, our new Amigos, Eddie and Bonnie Rafanan were back at it today with Juan and Ramon on TantRum and they had an awesome day. They headed offshore to try to get on the Marlin bite and Juan and Ramon had them dialed in. Eddie and Bonnie each brought in the first Marlin of their lives today! They spent a total of almost 2 hours fighting some really nice sized Stripers. Congrats to you guys and hopefully we see you again before too long.

Thursday, back to non-stop action!
Today was a much better day than yesterday and everyone came back happy as clams! Another beautiful day on the water, but the Pacific did act up a bit at the end of the day.
Nick Rauber and his crew from Louisiana were aboard Nuevo today with Alex and Manuel for their first of 3 days on the water. Alex put them on a nice school of porpoise and Tuna and the guys brought in 8 nice Yellowfin. They will enjoy those filets at Missiones de Kino tonight and are having a chef come over to the "Play and Stay" Portofino condos tomorrow to cook them up a feast. Tomorrow they are going to chase Roosters in the morning.
Brothers Michael and Jamie Kelly were back at again today for their 4th of 5 days on the water. Today they decided to do a half-day and chase some Roosterfish inshore. Javier and Americo on Rum Runnin were up to the challenge and after running up to Los Arcos, they heard some reports of some fish back closer to the Lighthouse. The guys had a blast, catching 8 Roosters up to 30lbs and several Jack Crevalle's as well. Tomorrow is their last day and they will be chasing Tuna with Alex on El Nuevo.
Finally, we had Steve Kratzner with his buddies Skeets and Derek Ellis. These guys joined Ramon and Juan aboard TantRum and were set on chasing some big fish. The boys found and pitched bait to several Marlin and were able to catch and release 2 nice Stripers.
