Prayers...
You may have noticed in my earlier post that we are short staffed right now. Nick Lopez, our wonderful office manager, had to return home to Mexico City for a family emergency. Our thoughts and prayers are with Nick and his family now, and hope you will do the same.
Catching up....
Sorry for the lapse in reports guys, we have been super busy here in the office and a little short staffed as of late. The fishing has been really good lately, with tons of big Marlin making their way into the Cabo waters. This is always the time of year that we start to see lots of big Blue and Black Marlin and it looks like this year will be special. The last week or so we have caught more Blue Marlin than any week since I have been down here. Should make for some interesting tournaments this year.
The bite has been pretty consistent with a few Yellowfin and Dorado each day, and plenty of Marlin. We did have one day earlier this week where the fish weren't biting, and I apologize for to those customers that didn't catch fish, but overall it has been good fishing.
We had Sunday off this past week so I will get you started with Monday's action.
Andy Sherwood and Greg Cook from Fort Worth, Texas joined the guys on ReelRum for a day and it was a memorable one. Andy was up first and he caught a nice Dorado, which was great, but I have a feeling he would have rather given his buddy Greg that first fish. The next bite they got was a serious one, and Greg got into the chair and battled for almost two hours with a monster Marlin. This was Greg's FIRST OFFSHORE STYLE FISHING TRIP and FIRST OFFSHORE FISH (I know that many of you are rolling your eyes in disgust, but be happy for the guy!) The Blue Marlin was estimated at 450lbs and Greg was stoked! Hopefully he is hooked for life and will be coming back to see us soon.
Our Stay and Play customers, the Sanchez's, Dee's and Smith's decided to take the ladies fishing today, and unfortunately the picked the rougher of the two days to do so. They were back by 11am, as some of the ladies weren't feeling great, but they still had a great day, fishing wise. They caught and released 3 Striped Marlin, one almost 10ft. in length, before calling it a day.
Father/Son/Daughter combo's the Goodenough's from San Jose, California and the Klempf's from Jacksonville, Florida each had nice day's on the water with 2 nice Dorado each.
Richard Campbell and Sergio Garcia, from Studio City, California each got to battle with a Striped Marlin today aboard Rum Runnin'. Both fish were caught and released.
Tuesday- Tuesday was a little slow and for some reason the fish weren't cooperating all that well but we had a few boats that did well.
Tray Balke and his girlfriend Maci Massengale from Houston, Texas joined us for a day on Anzuelo and they too were each able to battle a Striped Marlin. Salvador got them hooked up, showed them how it was done, snapped a quick picture for them and released the fish to fight another day.
Steve and Jennilyn Bumpas from Fort Worth, Texas are down on vacation with their two boys Colton and Drew. They joined the crew of Marlin Too today for a half day on the water. They had plenty of action, but not much success. They hooked into a Blue Marlin, a Striped Marlin and a Dorado, but lost all three.
Bad Day for Husband and Wife fishing groups, Eric and Donna Lonadier and Luis and Kristine Mitjans each came back empty handed today. I know the crews worked their butts off, sometimes the fish just don't cooperate.
The Zoellner's, Tom, Tommy and Artum, fished with Javier for half a day today on Rum Runnin. They had several hook-ups but managed only 1 catch and release Marlin.
Wednesday- Fish woke up after a slow day and action was back!
Jacob Bazella and his crew were down from Minnesota and Telluride, Colorado enjoying his timeshare for a week. They decided to get a day of fishing in and they had a nice day on the water catching a real nice Dorado and a 200+lb Blue Marlin.
Jim Rodriguez and his crew down from Los Angeles, California got into the Dorado with Ulyses on Grey Light and they landed 3 nice fish. One for each person on board.
Jon Meyers who is a repeat RedRummer, showed Daniel and Margaret Valles from Richmond, Texas how it is done. They fished with Javier aboard ReelRum and they caught and released a nice Blue Marlin estimated at over 200lbs.
Steward Mills was back at it again yesterday after getting skunked the first day out. He was certainly rewarded on day 2 with Javier and Americo getting a real nice Dorado and a Striped Marlin.

Small Waves, Light Winds...Awesome weather
Hey guys!
Fishing has still been good through out this week. And I feel this week is going by so fast!!!!!!!!! Have like a million things to do here in the office. Weather is awesome, waves are smoothe, and winds are light, what else can we ask for???? maybe just more fish, but other than that we've been having success so far.

Can we find the Tuna again today?
After yesterday's unbelievable Tuna bite, they boys were heading back out to see if they could find that big school of hungry fish again. Let's see how they did.
Nikki Chadwick and Thad Fird are repeat customers down from Harrisburg, North Carolina. They searched and searched today, but could not find the school that was out about 25 miles yesterday, but they did get a couple of random Tuna bites. They finished the day with two Yellowfin.
Brian Bjorge and his wife Shelley, from Scottsdale, Arizona are here celebrating the wedding of their daughter Brooke, who is a friend of my wife, Brooke. Brian and Shelley joined Ramon and Cesar aboard Red Beam and they had an awesome day. They finished the day with 1 Dorado, 2 Yellowfin, and a nice 150lb Catch and Release, Striped Marlin.
James Waugh was back for his second day on the water and he had a phenominal day aboard ReelRum. Jesus was able to find a small school of Tuna, landing 6 fish, and they also caught and released a Marlin and added a nice Dorado as well. Best wishes to James' friends who weren't able to make it down to Cabo this year. Hopefully, we will see you in the near future.

Sunday Tuna Session
The boys found the Tuna today everyone! They had to go about 25 miles out before they found the big school, but once they did the action was non-stop on all the boats. Everyone had their limit today and there were some big fish in the school as well. They biggest fish was well over 100lbs and it hit on a colored Cedar Plug.
Julie and David Cooper from Harvey, California had a great day with Javier and Americo on Rum Runnin'. They were the first one's to find the school and they had action for hours with double and triple Yellowfin hook-ups. They finished the day with over 12 Tuna, releasing the majority of them.
Brandi and Gary Hollis from Lincoln, California joined Juan and Ramon on TantRum today and they got into the Tuna as well. Brandi and Gary each were able to fight a ton of fish with over 12 Tuna making their way to the boat as well.
Brian Gibler and his buddies, Dorman Fawley and Richard Levy had the most luck today out in the school of Tuna. They fished with Jesus and Manuel on El Nuevo RedRum. Jesus has been filling in for Captain Alex the last few days because Alex has had his hands full at home with two new baby girls. Congrats to Alex on the healthy twins and congrats to the guys on Nuevo today with more than 15 Tuna. Brian was the "lucky" guy today with the Big Fish of the Day, a Yellowfin that weighed in at over 130lbs. Brian fought this fish for over an hour and they got some beautiful filet't to bring back home.

Congratulations Captain Alex!
Good Morning Peeps!
Most of you might know Captain Alex who is always ready to take you off on a fantastic fishing experience aboard the 33' Bertram El Nuevo. Well yesterday, after 9 long months his wife gave birth to two little healthy babby girls! All us of at RedRum want to congratulate Alex for "reeling" in those little babies to the world!
Alex's wife had been deeling with some pregnancy problems for the last couple of months, but yesterday after a long wait, the baby girls finally arrived and very healthy, we still don't know what their names are, we'll have to wait for Alex to come back from his week off to let us know all the details! Lets all congratulate Alex for this wonderful news!
Yesterday's fishing was great, We had one customer come in and say that he's never seen the pacific so smoothe. And it's true, even though the pacific side was a bit choppy the last couple of weeks, yesterday it seemed to get back to normal.
It was a warm day out there! So people, if you have an upcoming trip I strongly suggest that you bring sunblock lotion.
From Texas we had Randy Boyd and his crew from CCA. These guys fished aboard El Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel. After a full day of fishing they caught 1 Dorado. Hopefully they'll have better luck today while they're out on their second trip.
Another couple from Texas, Christopher Pace and Jodi Hicks, decided to go out on a half day aboard a Panga. They had a great time and caught 2 bonitas. Very nice couple, came in the office with a big smile and left with an even bigger smile. We make it happen!
And last but not least we had a new friend from San Francisco!! Whoo Hoo.....
I (heart) SF...as you may probably already know, I am from San Francisco so it gets me all excited to see people from my hometown. Dutch and Sharleen Haarsma along with their little boys who were 4 and 2 yrs of age went out for a full day on ReelRum with Captain Jesus and Mate Edgar. Their final score was 2 Striped Marlin (both C/R)
One of them weighed 130 Lbs and the other 90Lbs, they also reeled in 3 Dorado and 1 bonita.
So it wasn't all that bad, it was great! Thank you all for fishing with us =0)
On Another note we are about to go live with our new website and reservation system, this is something we've all been working with for the last few months, the going live date is still pending but I am sure it will be in the next couple of days. Make sure to check out our website and check out the new design!
Thanks People!
