My husband headed out this morning with his buddy Leon Robles on El Nuevo with Alex. They weren’t as lucky as Kyle and Adrienne, but they did reel in a nice yellow tail. They were back in time to catch the US vs. Brazil soccer game with some fresh prepared yellow tail sashimi and Modelos in hand. They were even nice enough to remember the wife at the office with a plate hand delivered. Yummy, thanks to the Early Bird for lunch. (The Early Bird is the store a few doors down where many of you have probably bought beer or snacks.) They make a ridiculous sashimi that I highly recommend.
Aboard ReelRum were Michael Baseflug and Oliver Donnelly from Seattle, Washington. It was their first times on the Baja waters, and it treated them quite well. They came back with 3 Tunas and a big striped Marlin, weighing about 170 lbs., which they released. They both took turns fighting the Marlin. They’ve got a couple tuna steaks they’ll eat up fresh for dinner and the rest will be vacuum sealed for them to take back home with them. We hope to see you guys back down again! Send us the pictures of that Marlin that is a good sized striper.
Thanks for checking in, have a wonderful week.

The ocean can't be serious...
What a day of sportfishing today for RedRum anglers. The ocean was literally boiling with fish today. Having the wonderful opportunity to see our boats fish these waters day in and day out, I know that days like today only happen a handful of times per year. Marlin, Tuna, and Dorado flags hanging from RedRum boats are literally blinding my view of the Marina.
Captains Omar, Marshall, Javier, and Alex talked this morning and they all decided to head out and cover the same are they found the fish yesterday, with each taking a slightly different heading. Javier was the first to spot the fish and the others were quickly called on the radio.
Javier had a half day charter today with the Father/Son/Son trio of Todd, Andy and Chad Hebert from Louisiana. Being that they had a half day charter, Rum Runnin cruised back in around noon with 5 Dorado flags, 3 Yellowfin Flags and a whopper of a catch and release Marlin. They said they found the school and then kept circling it, picking off strikes from different fish with every pass. On the way back in, Manuel spotted a huge Striped Marlin and it was quickly offered live bait, which it took. This big female must have just eaten a big meal as apparently she came to the boat without much fight for her size. When they measured the fish on the back of the boat it taped out at a ridiculous 11ft 10.5 inches. Fabulous catch, and a fabulous day on the water.
Justo, Zach and Chris Morales, out for their final day of fishing, after not catching much for two days, had the day they dreamed of before coming down. Marshall, on the RedBeam was the second boat to the action and these guys were back right before 1pm with 3 nice sized Dorado's and 6 Yellowfin Tuna. The guys couldn't be happier that I talked them into one last day on the water, and I am super happy it worked out. Zach and Chris are working up their appetites even more right now at Wild Canyon Zip Lines in preparation for "the feast," tonight at Missiones de Kino. Dorado Ceviche, Tuna Sashimi, and an array of cooked fish. Enjoy guys, you worked hard for it.
Derek and Shelbi Cooper along with friends Josh and Amy Bingham, had the ride on ReelRum today. Omar and Americo were their guides on one what they said was one of the best days of fishing they had ever had. They had too many Yellowfin bites to count, but recalled constantly getting double and triple hook-ups. At the end of the day they had caught and released a Marlin, kept 4 of the Yellowfin they caught (thanks for releasing some,) and also brought in 2 Dorado.
Finally we had Greg Barron's Play and Stay group fishing on El Nuevo RedRum. Greg fished with his wife Mary and his daughter Courtney, and his friends Michael and Vicki Reichle and Nancy Pelton. Captain Alex was last to the return to the Marina and he showed his clients a phenominal day as well. Courtney also couldn't believe the Yellowfin out there and how they were constantly doubled and tripled up. The finished the day with 10 Yellowfin and 4 nice Dorado, 2 of which went over 50lbs.
What a phenominal day on the Sea of Cortez, beautiful seas, and a light breeze to cool down the anglers as they fought fish after fish. Really wish I could have been out there myself to experience the bite, but seeing the smiling faces and shocked reactions of our anglers was a great consolation prize.

Fill the coolers with filets Friday!
Saw a lot of boats cruise back into the marina today without flags, and I figured it would be the same for our guys. Rene, our mechanic, had been in contact with the boys and they were having a tough time getting bites. That all drastically changed when Omar found a big school of fish, 17-18 miles offshore towards what we call the 1150 spot.
Craig Beal and his son Brendan were the first back today. Brendan has no problem bringing down QB's and RB's for the National Champion Florida Gators (Go TCU) but he couldn't handle the rough seas of the Sea of Cortez. The Beal's were able to bring in a Yellowfin Tuna and a nice Dorado before they had to call it quits. No worries Brendan, even Paul Bunyan size guys like yourself routinely get tamed by the seas when they are furious.
The Munoz family of Anthony, Michaela, Daniel and Brennan were back next. They fished today with Omar and Americo on ReelRum and had a phenominal day. Final tally for the Munoz clan was 6 Yellowfin Tuna and 2 Dorado.
Curt Simpson and his wife Andrea, Al Brayton, Lisa, Vincent, and Alexander Correnti fished with Marshall today on the RedBeam and they too had a great day. Thanks to a call from Omar, Marshall too found the fish (just goes to show, fishing with a fleet that has several boats can pay off big time.) This crew was all smiles as they returned with 5 Yellowfin, all caught on Cedar Plugs and 2 nice Dorado, one in the 40lb class.
Justo Morales, along with his two boys and his wife Angela were the first ones back today. They again had a tough day on the water. Tomorrow, they will be our guests on the RedBeam and Marshall has assured us they will get on the fish!

Windy windy...
While the storm off the coast has all but dissipated, we are still getting some winds off both the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez. While that is great for Cabo's surfers, visiting anglers had a bumpy ride today. Things should continue to calm down, as Jorge, our veteran fisherman and Cabo resident feels like today was the worst of what we'll get.
That being said, first boat back was the Haines party. Mike Haines and his wife, Mary went out with his dad, Norman, their son Regan and grandchildren Austin and Kristen. The guys had a tough time getting the fish to bite today, but they were able to bring in a nice Striped Marlin, catch and release.
Our good friend John Medlen and his sons Jr, and Shane, along with friends Kurt Groenwold and Janine Moyer were our guest aboard El Nuevo today. They too had a tough time getting fish to bite, they saw a lot of fish, but were only able to get one Jack Crevalle. We'll see this crew again Monday to give it another shot.
Alohi Rieger, Jordan Weiss, and Burley Wright were 3 of the 6 that made it today to fish with Marshall and Muneca on the RedBeam. Apparently, the other 3 guys had rougher nights than these guys and couldn't quite make it for the 9am fishing excursion they planned. The San Diego guys were able to bring in a Yellowfin and a nice Dorado today.
Justo Morales, and his two sons, Zach and Chris, our latest Play and Stay crew joined us today for their first of two days fishing. The crew hails from Houston, and are avid anglers there; they even brought their own gear. The guys fished with Omar and Americo today and caught 2 Yellowfin and one nice Dorado.
Finally, the final day for the Huffman crew was today and the rest of the anglers in Cabo will be happy to see them go. I know that sounds harsh, but these guys simply wouldn't let any of the other boats out the past three days catch any fish, they hogged them all. Once again, these guys had a great day bringing home 5 Dorado. In all honesty, Roger, Kendall, Mike and Brent were a pleasure to meet and host the past three days. They deserved all the fish they caught because they came in with a great attitude everyday and treated our crews well. Look forward to seeing you guys back in Cabo soon.
Hasta Manana,
Ryan

244 lb Yellowfin mount from Global Fish Mounts
As many of you know, we were lucky enough to haul in the biggest Yellowfin Tuna last year in the Western Outdoor News Los Cabos Tuna Jackpot. Our 244lb Yellowfin was the 3rd biggest in tournament history and secured our place in Cabo's storied tournament history.
Global Fish Mounts was nice enough to donate a mount of our historic catch and it arrived yesterday. Of course, we had to place it front and center, right above the desk here in the office. Beautiful artistry, and we can't be happier with the way it turned out.
Get Well Diana....
Team RedRum would like to send a special "Get Well Soon" to our wonderful office manager Diana. Diana, unfortunately, was cut off by another surfer as they jockeyed for position on a big wave at Cabo Surf this past weekend and took a hard fall. After colliding head first with her board, Diana was left with a concussion and a fractured jaw.
Diana is a great girl and always has an upbeat attitude so it was no surprise that she was joking around even in her initial text's to us about the accident. "I guess she wanted to be the ONLY girl on the water!" Diana explained as she described the ordeal. Unable to talk, coherently at least, Diana will be on the sidelines for a few weeks. She will be missed around the office and we wish her a speedy recovery.
So, from Team RedRum and our extended family all over the world, get well soon Diana!
Wednesday's report...
Great fishing again today off the waters of Cabo San Lucas. Tropical Storm Andres is still several hundred miles south and has fizzled to a Tropical Depression. This will put anglers at ease of the next few days, as we already have felt the weather warm up and the winds die down.
First back today was our new friend Sean Orman. Sean had originally booked with us to go out yesterday, but after eating something that his stomach didn't agree with he had to re-book for today. Unfortunately, I don't think fishing was supposed to be in the cards this trip. We got Sean out on the water and the boys saw a ton of fish, just couldn't get any to bite. As the saying goes, "that's fishing."
Mark and Suzette Rohleder were back next on ReelRum. They spent the day with Omar and Americo and their two kids, Jared and Isabella. The Rohleder's are quite possibly the biggest RedSox fans in the world, and I really enjoyed talking to them about the beating the Sox have been putting on the Yankees this year. (Sharky, George, and Nick, that was for you!) Jared was the man of the day bringing in a nice big Striped Marlin, showing off the guns that will make him famous on the ball field someday. While they weren't fortunate enough to have any Dorado take bait or lures, the Broussard crew from Louisiana was nice enough to donate a few filets for Rohleder's to take to dinner.
Speaking of the gals from Louisiana, they had another great day on the water. The more experienced ladies from the group, Kim, Susie, and Carolyn were the only ones brave enough to head back out on the water today and it paid off. Carolyn brought in a very nice 40lb class Dorado, Kim caught a very nice Jack Crevalle in the 30lb class and Susie brought in an estimated 160lb, 103" Marlin. Both Susie and Kim mounted their Marlin from the past few days and both with be proudly dispayed at Carolyn's restaurant, the Blue Duck Cafe in Lake Charles Louisiana!
Alright, the Huffman group killed it again today! I am convinced these guys sold their souls to the fish devil. They claim their success is due to the good karma brought by having a few beers every day on the boat, who knows. Bottom line, these guys are having great days out on the water with Javier on Rum Runnin. While they lost a shark and a Striped Marlin today, they brought in 4 nice Dorado, 1 Yellowfin Tuna, and 1 catch and release Striped Marlin. Can't imagine what these guys are going to do tomorrow. I would love to be on the boat tomorrow just to see what the real secret is behind their success.
Ryan and Renee Crawford from Chicago stopped by yesterday and wanted to get out on the water while they were here. We hooked them up with Tata on our partner boat Anzuelo and they had a great day. 3 big Dorado and 1 catch and release Marlin. Add to that the perfect weather on the water today and it was a total success.
John Korecki, along with his two sons Chris and Zach, as well as his buddy James Buckley fished with us today on El Nuevo with Alex and Ramon. 4 guys, 4 fish. Can't beat that. They caught a nice variety of Dorado with fish in the 30, 40, and 50lb classes and a real nice Striped Marlin. The guys will be enjoying their catch tonight at Misiones de Kino while they brag to their wives about what amazing fishermen they all are. Good Stuff!
Finally, we had Ted Soetaert who is down visiting Cabo from Spring, Texas. Ted was fishing by himself today and wanted to give Panga fishing a try. We set him up with Carlos, and they had a great day together. Carlos found some big big Roosterfish hanging at an undisclosed location (gotta keep some secrets to ourselves,) and Ted ended up bringing in about 6 Roosters, losing a few more.
Killer day in Cabo!
