The first Striped and Blue Marlin of September

The first day of the month and we have excellent updates on today's fishing trips.
Aboard RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Jesus we had Tim and Belinda Irvin from Dallas, Tx who showed up at 6 AM ready to get on that boat and have the time of their lives. Together they reeled in a 20 Lb Dorado (which they will be taking back home on Saturday) and they also caught and released a nice 250 Lbs Blue Marlin.


The first Blue Marlin for the month of September...let's try to C/R Blue Marlins for the rest of the year huh?
These awesome folks decided to head back to our office little early. The sea behaved today, it was nice and smoothe.

We have an awesome day, temperature is 97F and the winds are so calm...PERFECTION!

Last but not least we had Debra McCory and Brett Olsen aboard our 28' Tantrum along with Captain Ramon and Mates Juan and Jesus who together caught an 8ft 9' Stripper! That was big, I saw that fish with my own eyes and I can say it was a trophy fish!
Congrats to these two for working together and making their dream catch come true! We told you RedRum was the right option!!! LOL

Fishing took place by the Gordo Bank, Light House, La Herradura and other banks along the Sea of Cortez side.

Thanks for reading.

Anymore Big Tuna out there?

After the Joyce boys from San Diego brought in that Big Yellowfin yesterday, everyone was eager to see if they could match the feat.

Unfortunately, Matt Lovecchio and Kevin Grier from New York who fished with Ramon and Juan on TantRum didn't have much luck out there today. They hooked into two different Marlin, but couldn't get anything to the boat.

Chris Rowe and his wife Angie hosted good friends Elizabeth Parker and Larry Harvath on Marlin Too today. Chris has fished with us many times, but this trip was all about Elizabeth. A co-worker of Chris', she was tired of hearing about all the fish he caught when he came to Cabo so Chris was nice enough to bring her along this time. She wanted to do battle with a Marlin and that she did. Elizabeth caught and released her first Striped Marlin, while the rest of the folks caught a few Dorado and nice 60+lb Wahoo.

Sean Music and his crew from Columbus, Ohio joined Alex and Manuel today with high hopes after yesterdays big Tuna on El Nuevo. Alex and Manuel didn't dissapoint, catching and releasing a nice Striped Marlin and also catching a 200+lb Blue Marlin. Unfortunately, the Blue couldn't be revived after the nearly 2 hour fight, but that's the way it goes sometimes.

Finally, we had long time friend and customer Frank Ratel and his crew aboard Rum Runnin with Captain Chivo and his mate Jesus. The guys headed for the Pacific after hearing about Captain Alex's big Tuna out there the day before and they got started quickly with a nice Wahoo. After a few hours the Dorado's popped up and they got 4 nice fish. Finally, nearing closing time so to speak, they saw a school of Tuna pop up and Jesus threw a live Caballito as Manuel had the day before and sure enough, they got another big one. After nearly 2 hours, the guys boated a beast of a Yellowfin that weighed in over 150lbs.

Big Tuna and Big Marlin in the water, gotta love Cabo in August!!!!

Sunday Tuna Session



Just your typical Sunday for a couple of buddies from San Diego, battling a cow Yellowfin Tuna for over 3 hours. Craig and Mike Joyce, and their buddies from Poway/Escondido came to Cabo and repped East County San Diego as best they could today. After a few small Dorado, Captain Alex found a school of Tuna. Unfortunately, the Tuna were finicky and not interested in any of the lures, plugs or feathers we were pulling through the school. Mate Manuel thought the fish were finicky because of the heavy line and leader on the lures. He live baited a Caballito onto one of the pitch bait rods and threw a Caballito out into the school and immediately got hooked up. Manuel knew the fish had some size to it as he handed the rod off and because the live bait rod and reel is set up with 40lb test and 100lb leader, he knew the guys might be in for a long fight. The long fight turned out to be 3.5 hours as the guys passed the rod back and forth a few times but finally landed the big Yellowfin. The guys were stoked on the 150+lb fish and had plenty of sashimi and filets to bring back to San Diego.

Frank Frank go Away!

Today's fishing was also great peeps. We had 2 boats out and as I stated earlier on Twitter we had Jennifer Enciso, previous customer, fishing aboard ReelRum with Captain Jesus and Mates Edgar and Omar.

This time she went fishing with her fiance Skii and this nice couple ended up with 1 dorado which was caught 3 miles out from The Cerro Bank and a nice huge 220 Lb Blue Marlin caught by a spot called La Herradura which in English means The Horse shoe. AS they were walking into the office I saw the mates in front of them and they just kept bringing in fish in bags, buckets and more bags. This couple emptied the ocean! Great job guys!

Last but not least we had Max and Terry Munn fished on Tantrum with Captain Ramon and Mate Alonso and their final score was a 25 Lb Dorado and a 40 Lb Wahoo by the Golden Gate Bank. 1 Blue Marlin snapped the line and got away but they still had an awesome time out there. Thank you guys for fishing with us!!

Update on Hurricane Frank is that it is located 550 Km south of Cabo. The port will not be closed tomorrow so fishing will take place as scheduled. Will have another update tomorrow. We are expecting thunderstorms tonoight...but to be honest I don't even think so, it's sunny and hot! so come to Cabo guys!!

Chris English and Brenda Guerra from San Diego fished aboard the 28' ReelRum with Captain Jesus and Mates Edgar and Omar.

BTW they donated their fish for charity, that's awesome!!! thanks guys.

Happy Birthday Paige Aderholt!!!! Paige decided to celebrate her b-day aboard the 33' Nuevo along with Charles, Hannah and Suzanne this past Tuesday Aug, 25th. On day 1 which was Monday, Aug. 23rd. Paige managed to reel in a 9ft 9inch Blue Marlin all on her own and it only took 20 minutes!!! AWESOME JOB PAIGE, this sure was a dream come true. This "Super Girl" also caught two 10 Lbs Dorados on that same day while hubby Charles took care of his lovely lady and made sure she had the best fishing trip ever.

On Tuesday Aug 25th Paige and Charles decided to go out fishing with Hannah and Suzanne (Charles' sister and niece) to celebrate her b-day. On this day this team caught and released another 8ft Blue Marlin! AWESOME and also caught and kept a 15 Lb Dorados. It took 20 min to reel the Marlin in, nice job ladies!...and gentlemen.

From Michigan we had Nenad and Marko Milicevic fish aboard our 28' Tantrum along with Captain Ramon and Mate Juan for a full day trip. This Father-Son team managed to catch and release 2 striped Marlin. No information on the size and weight was provided, but we do know they fished between La Herradura and Cerro Gordo. Thanks for fishing with us guys.

And last but not least the group that was outside the office at 5:30AM! ready and eager to go out fishing was Mike Kelly and his party of 5. This awesome group is full of of energy and had an awesome time reeling in 8 Dorado (4 of them were released) and 2 nice 40 Lbs Wahoo. They promised to share their pictures and videos with us, so we expect to see them soon and post them on this fish report and our other sites.

Marlin and Dorado

Hi Guys,

Thanks for reading our reports! Yesterday was an awesome day here in Cabo for both weather and fishing. It was a very hot day, around 96F - 97F but nice! We had success with all 4 boats that went out fishing and every single customer that came back was satisfied with their trip! SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT!!!!!

Dennis Chadwick was out fishing on RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Americo for a full day trip. Dennis and his son Hunter had an awesome day fishing on the Sea of Cortez side and ended up catching and releasing 1 Marlin (180 Lbs) and 1 Dorado. I was telling these guys that the last 2 teenagers named Hunter had caught Marlins and I was pretty sure this 16 yr old was no exception...and so I was right! Nice job guys.

Jeff Wing and Wayne Repard from Fairfield CA, (which is really close to Vallejo...the city where I am from...sigh =0) went fishing with Captain Ramon and Mate Juan aboard the 28' Tantrum. These guys fished the 95 and 1150 bank for most part of the day and even though it started off a bit slow, it started picking up real good as the day went buy. Their total catch were 6 Dorados between 20-40 Lbs. Not bad at all.

Another Dorado reeling couple were Scott and Heather Osterhoudt who fished aboard the 28' ReelRum along with Captain Jesus and Mate Edgar. Just like Tantrum they fished the Sea of Cortez and ended up with a total of 2 Dorado which will be heading back to PA tomorrow morning. Have a safe flight and hope you guys come back soon!

Last but not least we had Miguel Enciso and his family members fish the seas of Baja Cali along with Captain Alex and Mate Omar. This awesome family knows how to rock it here in Cabo. A day before their fishing trip some of the members had gone skydiving and had a blast and their fishing trip was no exception! They caught and released 2 Marlin which weighed 150 Lbs each. They also caught 4 dorados and 1 Bonita. Jennifer enjoyed the trip so much she decided to go out a second day, let's see how she does!
