Today was windy as a beast in Cabo and everywhere we looked claimed it was going to be a great day on the water. Great day if 10-12 foot swells is what you are into.
We had two boats on the water today, Rum Runnin and Pescado III. Pescado III chose to fish inshore for the majority of the day and that seemed to be the correct choice. Mike DeLuca, from Houston Texas, and his friends from Maine joined us today and had a great day on the water, albeit a little choppy. They had two Skipjack Tuna, one they claimed was almost 30 lbs, 3 Sierra and a Barracuda. The ladies were stoked on seeing Whales and Dolphins and said they had an awesome experience.
Stephen and Marie Ellison, didn't have nearly as good of a day. They chose to head offhsore in search of the Tuna the boys found the day before. As they got closer and closer to the schools of Porpoise and Yellowfin, the water got choppier and choppier until they finally had to call it quits and head back in. They have another trip scheduled for Wednesday and figured they would fish when the seas were a bit calmer. Good Call.

Sunday Tuna Slam
Sunday was a beautiful day in Cabo, slightly overcast but smooth seas and plentiful fishing. Everyone that fished today wanted to get offshore and chase some of the Yellowfin we had been hearing about.
Sam Bottoms and his buddies, Tony and Doug, down from the Denver area joined us today for their second day on the water. After fishing inshore on day one and slamming the inshore bite they were ready for some offshore fishing. They found the schools of Tuna and Porpoise, but couldn't get a bite to save their lives for some reason. Glad to have met Sam and his buddies and look forward to seeing them back down here in the near future.
Robert Deeson and his buddies and brothers, down from Houston, Texas, enjoying our Stay and Play Package, also had their second day on the water today. Captain Alex found the first school of Yellowfin about 32 miles from the Marina but wasn't getting great action with only 2 Yellowfin landed. They left that school and found another about 22 miles from the Marina where they were able to land 4 more Yellowfin. 6 Yellowfin, not a bad day!
April Bonds, a good friend of ours from here in Cabo, had her sister and a friend in town and wanted to show them a day on the water. April is notorious for getting skunked and having terrible fishing luck. We really should have just sent out her sister and buddy, and kept her back at the office. They were all over the Tuna, watching them feeding on the surface and jumping all around the boat. Total haul for the day, 1 Yellowfin Tuna.
Andy, Anne-Marie and Brett Harris, along with Dax Deschamp joined us for the first of two days on the water and they were the lucky ones today with the most fish. Fishing with Ramon and Juan on TantRum, they hauled in 8 Yellowfin and 1 huge 55" Mahi Mahi. Nice to see a Mahi caught, and a huge one at that.

Fishing for Tuna Saturday Jan. 29th.
Saturday was a great day out in the water, we had lots of success with Yellowfin Tuna this time. After a couple of weeks of being a bit slow, we can say that fishing on Saturday was GREAT!
We had Randy Shier and Bryan fish on RumRunnin with Captain Jesus and Mate Jesus (not the same person, but are father/son) for a full day trip. Their morning trip was a bit slow but once they were 20 Miles out they starting landing their first tuna. They fished by the Lighthouse and remained there until their trip was over. In the end, they had caught a total of 3 tunas.
Joe Ihelenfeld and his crew: John, Todd and Jason also fished for a full day but their luck was with Sierra (Spanish Mackerel) They fished aboard out 28' tantrum with Captain Americo and mate Juan. By the end of the day, they had landed 17 Sierras. Cool job.
And last but not least Joshua Loeske fished on Nuevo for his last trip during his Stay at Portofino Pedregal with the Stay and Play package. On this last day Josh and his crew landed 8 Yellowfin tunas. They got some back and had a great day in the water. The guys had an awesome time fishing and lodging. Hopefully they'll send their pics and vids soon!
Thanks for Reading.

All half days!
Hey Guys,
Yesterday we caught and released a Striped Marlin that was 6 ft and weighed around 80Lbs on our 32' RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Jesus.
Aside from the Marlin, we also caught a total of 8 Bonita and 4 Sierra. This was on 3 boats going out.
Kara, Tom, Alexis and Sean fished on Tantrum with Captain Ramon and Mate Juan. These nice people came off a cruise ship and fished for a half day. Their journey began at 9:00 and ended around 1 PM catching a total of 10 Sierra. I hope they do send in their pictures so we can post them
We had LIsa, Dale, Patricia, Marc and Sheryl fishing on Cabo Chica with Captain Lupe and mate Ricardo for a half day trip beginning at 1 PM. This group was the first out of 3 to come back in and they landed 4 skipjack.
Tuna is still out there but since we had half days we couldn't really target them. Hopefully today the story will be different. I will keep you informed.
We will be posting more videos soon!

Tuna has shown up again!
Nice temperature here in Cabo guys, perfect sea level, sea temperature, and wind speed. Pack your stuff and come fishing with us.
I hope you've been enjoying our latest videos. They're short but we'll be posting more and more each day/week.
On to what you've been waiting to read....TUNA began to bite again which is superb. It had been slow for the first couple of weeks but as of Wednesday things started picking up again which is good. Especially for this time of year. Marlin was also caught and released this week. You can check out the video of the latest marlin that was 110 Lbs released on RumRunnin just a couple of days ago.
Since this report is for 3 days of fishing I will do a brief recap of what was caught:
Cosmo Amanto and his crew fished on Nuevo and during their trip they caught a total of 6 bonita (which is at it's best season right not) He fished with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel
John Guadabasso had fished for 2 days and on his last day he did a total of 3 yellowgin around 10-20 Lbs and 1 Dorado
Lewis Bush and his party of 15 had an awesome time out there. Their final number during their last 2 days of fishing was a total of 16 Tuna, 1 Marlin (C/R 110LBS check our video) and 1 Dorado. Awesome.
Ed Dracht fished on Tantrum with Captain Ramon and Mate Juan and had a great time out there, they caught a total of 3 yellowfin tuna and 1 dorado. These guys came back to the office to tell me they had an excellent day out and enjoyed their trip.
Joel Cleavland, his wife and kids had a great half day experience on ReelRum with Edgar and Omar. In the end they had caught a total of 28 bonitas.
Gary Bloedel and his crew fished on RumRunnin and came back with a total of 2 Yellowfin and 20 bonita
John Stevenson who also fished on a half day trip caught a total of 5 yellowfin
Lonnie Everill and his crew did a full day on Nuevo with Alex and Manuel and got a total of 6 Tuna and 1 Bonita
Tom Sedlacek fished on our partner boat Cabo Chica and landed 6 sierra and 3 tuna
Last but not least Sean McCrary fished on ReelRum and caught 8 bonitas and 3 skipjacks....not sure if they're the same.....mmhhh guess I have to look it up.
Thanks for reading.

Catch and Release of a 110 Lbs Striped Marlin
Hey Guys!
I know I haven written in a couple of days so I thought I would make it up by posting this video instead. It was taken yesterday on RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Jesus. It was the Catch and release of a 110 Lbs Striped Marlin Reeled in by "The Bush Party"
Enjoy!

Inshore bite, red hot!
Today the inshore bite was a lot hotter than the offshore bite with the Bonita going crazy! Bait has been a little hard to come by the last few days, so the guys are going with 5 live bait and 5 Ballyhoo each day. Most of the action has been on lures anyway, but always nice to have something live to pitch when a Marlin is spotted.
Cosmo Amato, down from New Jersey with his uncles and cousins, headed offshore today after a decent Tuna bite yesterday and a few Marlin. Unfortunately, the bite shifted inshore today and they didn't get bit. Manuel and Jesus spotted two Marlin who unfortunately weren't interested and the guys got into 3-4 different schools of Porpoise but unfortunately no Yellowfin were around.
Chuck and Laura Soder down from Ohio joined Ramon and Juan, the crew of TantRum today and they had a little more luck offshore than Cosmo's group. Laura's dad was nice enough to buy them a day on the water because he really wanted his daughter to experience the thrill of catching a Marlin. What a great Dad! Well, mission accomplished as Chuck and Laura caught a nice 140lb Striped Marlin and 1 Yellowfin Tuna.
Tom and Cyndy Ruma, good friends of my wife Brooke's, from Nebraska were out with Omar and Americo today on RedRum. Tom is a semi-professional Bass fisherman in Nebraska, so we had to show him how it was done here in Cabo San Lucas. They decided to stay inshore today, and were able to catch nearly 30 Bonita, nearly all were released and also 1 Dorado. Cyndy said everyone had a blast and no one got sick, her main concern. Tom and Cyndy are now home owners here in Cabo so we expect to see a lot more of them.
