It's been a while, but we have great news. A lot of great fishing has been going on here in Cabo.
Fishing is no longer only on the sea of cortez side, but it has also started hitting the pacific side. Marlin, Tuna, Dorado are in even though Dorado is still a bit mellow, it's coming in! I can bet this season will be great for Dorado fishing.
Don and Barry Whitaker, CCA Members from San Antonio and Houston fished for two days on our 33' Nuevo. Even though their first trip was a bit slow consisting only of 1 yellowtail, their second trip sure made up for it. On their last trip which was yesterday they caught a total of 7 Yellowfin Tunas and 2 Dorado. The Tunas weighed about 15 - 20 Lbs. Thanks Guys for fishing with RedRum. Hope to see you again in the near future.
Charles Meyers fishin on RumRunnin on Tuesday and caught a total of 1 tuna (15 Lbs) and released an 8 ft 140 Lb Striped Marlin. They fished with Javier and Jesus. It took them 50 mins to catch and release the Striper and was caught on the pacific side, just 11 miles out.
From New Jersey Kurt Wille and his crew fished on Tantrum last Tuesday with Ramon and Juan and after a half day trip they managed to catch and release a Striped Marlin. Not sure how big it was since they got off at the Cruise Ship Dock to walk around. Thanks
Norman Johnson fished on Wednesday with Javier and Jesus and during this full day trip him and his buds landed a 25 Lbs yellowfin Tuna and a 30 Lbs Dorado. Nice!
And on the sea of Cortez side, a shared boat by Randy Becker and Brent Jenson also had a succesful ending. They landed 5 yellowfin tunas about 25 Lbs each. It was a bit slow in the morning but picked up later that day.
John and Ryan Donovan also fished yesterday on RedRum and RumRunnin both boats caugt a total of 10 Yellowfin tunas, the biggest being 30 Lbs, 2 Dorado and 1 Striped Marlin. They had a great day in the water and will be doing it again tomorrow! Let's see how they do.
Thanks

Friday the 13th, what will it bring?
Friday the 13th...
Carl Moberg, down in Cabo for his daughters wedding, decided to add a little more fun to the weekend and took a few guys from the wedding party fishing. Carl fishes commercially in Massachusetts for Striped Bass and we had a nice chat about fishing in his neck of the woods as I occasionally get back that way for Striper and Bluefin fishing. The one thing they don't catch a lot of is Marlin back in his neck of the woods so it was nice that they were able to Catch and Release a nice Striped Marlin.
George Kahle and his two sons, Aaron and Bryan had a nice day on the water with Jesus and Jesus on Rum Runnin'. Father and sons fishing and father and son Captain and Mate! Pretty cool. They caught 2 nice Yellowfin and also hooked a big 108" Striped Marlin that they got to the boat. George came back to the office and told me how impressed he was with the Jesus' and how they were able to get the fish hooked up! Always great to hear about the hard working crews we have!
The Miller party, in from Louisiana on a Stay and Play Package had their second day on the water today and after catching 18 Yellowfin and a Dorado on day one, they had Billfish on their minds. The boys on El Nuevo RedRum did not disappoint as they were able to catch and release 2 nice Striped Marlin! They had a great time at the condos and enjoyed their trip, especially the chef we sent up to the condos to prepare their Yellowfin and Dorado!
Finally, Bob Babei, who joined us from a cruise ship fished today with Cabo Chica. They only had a half -day to fish, but they slayed them out at the 1150! Bob was alone and caught 3 Striped Marlin, 2 Yellowfin Tuna and 1 Dorado! Not a bad day on the water, especially a 5 hour half day!

Thursday, May 12th Where did the Tuna go?
Wondering where all the Yellowfin from yesterday ran off to? After catching more than 30 Yellowfin yesterday, fish were hard to come by for some reason today.
The Souza family, fishing on Rum Runnin was the first boat back and after seeing a few Marlin that wouldn't bite, their time was up and the half day didn't give them enough time to get hooked up.
Daniel and Dawn Brennan joined us today from the cruise ship and they were able to hook into a random Yellowfin that wasn't swimming with any school mates. They finished up their half day with just the 1 Yellowfin.
Joe Thilbourg and Vanessa Cortez fished RedRum with Omar and Americo and also found a random Yellowfin. While we had a few Yellowfin today, none of the Captains found the big school that brought double and triple hook-ups.
Finally, Don Black and his party, fishing on Marlin Too with Captain Pancho, caught 1 Dorado and 2 Yellowfin Tuna.
Hopefully we can find the big school again tomorrow.

Blogger Craziness
Sorry guys but we just lost a bunch of recent posts....
Not sure why, but certainly a bummer.
I am writing a piece now for Coastal Angler Magazine's June edition and will blog a preview of it here shortly.
Thanks,

IGFA World Billfish Championship's!
Well Alex and Manuel on El Nuevo RedRum have had a great tournament so far and are certainly within striking distance today of reaching the top 5! Right now they are in 8th place with 1230 points after 3 days of fishing. 1200 points for Marlin caught and 30 points for the 3rd largest Dorado of the tournament which was 30lbs.
The IGFA Tournament is different in that you never know who is going to be on your boat each day, the teams are randomly assigned boats and the Captain and Mate are then in charge of putting them on the fish. Once they get there, the Captain and Mate can not help the angler in any way. Some days you are fishing with a team with a ton of experience, other days you aren't.
Everyone misses hook-ups, even our guys, and while El Nuevo had 3 Marlin yesterday, he said they missed 3 more that they should have or could have had.
As the standings sit before today's final day of fishing, Alex is 3 Marlin off the lead.
Wish the guys from El Nuevo RedRum the best today in their quest for the International Game Fish Association's World Championship!

These 2 couples were the ones who caught the very first sailfish of the year, around 120 Lbs, congrats!

Hi everyone!
Hope everyone up north had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday.
Brothers, Patrick and & Ross Hardage from Los Angeles and Dallas headed out this morning with Omar aboard RedRum. Patrick had been down fishing with us once before over a year ago and is back for more! They headed straight out from the Arch about 20 miles where they had a phenomenal day on the water. They pulled in 6 Yellow Fin Tuna, in the 20-25 lb. weight range. One good sized Dorado and a whopping 40 lb. Wahoo! Excellent job guys! They'll have plenty of fish to eat for weeks to come. Don't forget, when you fish with RedRum, we vacuum seal and freeze your catch so you are easily able to take it home with you in a plastic cooler as a checked bag on your airline. These two are ecstatic to be bringing some fresh catch home with them. Hope to see you guys again soon!
The guys on TantRum in the Thurston party from Jackson Hole, Wyoming had a good day out on the water with Captain Ramon. They headed out towards San Jose on the Sea of Cortez about 14 miles out from the Palmilla. Despite a hot semi calm day on land the seas out there were a bit rough, but they managed to pull in three, 20-25 lb. Yellow Fin Tuna on board. They'll be enjoying a nice Tuna steak dinner. Check back in tomorrow to see how the Thurston party does on Day 2.
That's all she wrote. Check in tomorrow for the latest and greatest!
