Many apologies to our faithful followers for the lapse in reports, October is absolutely crazy here in Cabo San Lucas as you all know. Tournaments and charters and all the fun that comes with both! I can’t get into detail about all the individual charters since our last post but I can highlight the important stuff.
-El Nuevo RedRum has completed it’s “make-over” and is now back in the water. Many long hours were spent in the boatyard sanding, fiberglassing, sanding, painting, sanding, rigging and sanding but it was all worth it. Nuevo looks incredible and is the finest 33′ Bertram in Cabo once again. (Did I mention we spent some time sanding that boat?)
-The Dorado bite is unreal right now. For the past 10 days or so, since our last report, we have been absolutely hammering the Dorado. Lots of fish in the 20-30lb range and a few in the 40-50lb range. Most have been caught from the Lighthouse to Los Arcos 2-3 miles from shore.
-Some serious “Cow” size Tuna have made their way to the scales in the recent tournaments which is exciting news for our Western Outdoor News Tuna Jackpot Anglers that will be fishing the 3rd and 4th of November.
-Speaking of tournaments, we just finished both the Los Cabos Billfish and Bisbee Offshore tournaments. After 5 days in a row fishing for the big boys, the only two qualifying Marlin (over 300lbs) were caught, both on day 1 of the Los Cabos. As luck would have it, Americo was fishing on our 31′ Bertram RedRum Sunday and caught and released a Black Marlin they estimated at 350-375lbs.
-Speaking of the Los Cabos Billfish tournament, once again Team RedRum brings home an over-sized check. This time we won the Dorado division and all three days of jackpot money, totaling over $15,000.
-We’ve already done over 100 charters in the month of October, thanks to all our awesome customers!
-I’m sure I’ve missed something but my brain is mush. If you fished with us and are reading this and had something you wanted to share, please add it to the comments section. We would love to hear from you.
-Finally, Jerry Sanchez, who took over for Nick in the RedRum Office as the Office Manager, is no longer with us. We thank Jerry for the time he spent with us but in the end, as you all know we are a family here and operate as one. We treat our clients like family and try to have an organized and upbeat office. We will once again begin the search for another office manager.
We apologize in advance for the lack of reports, the timeliness of our email responses, etc etc. We have Brooke and Bruin Donovan working the Portofino Pedregal Stay and Play Packages and John and Ryan Donovan working the office check-ins, reservations, and tournament fishing! There are enough of us to make it all happen, we may just have bags under our eyes for the next month or so.
Keep your fingers crossed, say a prayer, talk to the fish gods do whatever it is that you do, but keep the RedRum teams in your thoughts the next few days as we once again get out there and look for the big one that will bring the big check!
