Cabo San Lucas Fishing Report-End of October Recap

-October was crazy, 201 charters was the final tally. We want to thank all of you that fished with us or with one of our partner boats and helped us beat last years record month of 197 charters in October.

-October was also crazy as my dad (John) and myself (Ryan) were handling the office front by ourselves. Without the help of an office manager, we were running in circles a lot of days. We thank you all for your patience on email response, phone call response, and dealing with any problems you may have had (we own fishing boats, not like we ever have any problems right?)

-We finished up the tournament season with the Western Outdoor News Tuna Jackpot this past week. With 11 boats fishing under the Team RedRum banner we had about 10% of the boats fishing in the tournament. We had some great fish, but ended up just outside the money with 4th and 5th place.

-Congrats to Randy Matz, Barbara Morris, Fred and Tawnya Stevens for an excellent showing in the Tuna tourney. Fishing on El Nuevo RedRum for the 4th consecutive year they had a phenominal time this year landing a 150 and a 172 lb Yellowfin. They finished just out of the money and had they caught either of those fish on day 1 rather than day 2, they would have won some daily jackpots. The Hillbilly Yachtclub team represented in a big way this year with two beautiful fish and will be back for their 5th year this time next year. I will have pics for you shortly of their beautiful fish.

-ReelRum, which has a hard time not doing well in the Tuna Tournament with a top 3 finish in 2006 and a 1st place finish in 2008, had another great year. After just missing the cut last year with a 4th place finish, the boys on ReelRum did it again and placed 5th overall in the tourney with a 125lb Yellowfin. Kevin Campbell, Mike Mondot, Greg Davis and Gustavo Turrubiantes had a great tournament and are coming back next year to give it another go.

-Tiffani, our new office manager, should be boarding a ferry right now and arriving tomorrow. We are more than anxiously awaiting her arrival.

-Wind has picked up a bit the last few days, fishing has still been great with plenty of Dorado, SailFish, some Marlin and some great Tuna fishing!

More to come, and hopefully some great pics of the tournament Tuna!

Cabo San Lucas FIshing Report Sept.7th

Good day my friends!

Hot and beautiful was the weather today for us in Cabo, a perfect day for swimming, snorkeling, diving, and of course FISHING, this time it looked like the most popular fish out there was dorado, our anglers came back with some good catches today.

Marna Sikes and Cedric Bertolasio, on their firs day out of two fishing with us, had a very nice time aboard RumRunnin with Javier and Jesus having a total of 4 dorados, even though dizziness started t kick in, they forgot about it completely once they started hooking those fish.

Mike Slater From Texas, had a catch of 5 dorados, with captain Omar and mate Americo on RedRum this was
mikes second day of fishing with us, they came back a little earlier, but nonetheless with a good catch a total of 5 tuna.

Chase Slater and his girlfriend, headed out aboard TanTrum, with captain Ramon and mate Juan, they landed 3 dorado, not bad for this couple, they got some great tasting fish for dinner tonight and a great fishing experience.

Just like i mentioned it looks like it was a day for dorado!

Thanks for reading

4th of July fishing!

4th of July fishing was great here in Cabo. No rain during the day which is even better but a few raindrops don’t hurt anybody.
We had all of our boats booked. Just like last year, not much going on here for locals regarding 4th of July but you sure can see firework displays and buffets at resorts which is where our customers are staying so at least they had a great 4th of July.

On partner boat Rosy we had Dan Colman fishing along with Nicolas and Len and they released a total of 2 striped Marlin and caught 7 yellowfin tuna. Their captain was Luis. Great day!

From CCA Texas we had The Fischer Party, who had their first fishing trip on Saturday and they were celebrating Michelle’s birthday. On day one all 6 went out fishing for a full day and landed 1 dorado and caught and released 2 striped Marlin (94″&96″)
Yesterday only the guys took the trip and they landed 3 yellowfin tuna. Today they have taken off to go back home but I know they had a blast and were very pleased and satisfied with their whole trip from lodging to fishing! Congrats and we hope you had a special birthday Michelle.

on RumRunnin we had Michael DeHart and Christy Hackea fishing for a full day with Javier and Jesus. They caught a total of 5 yellowfin tuna and just like the rest of the groups had a blast out there. Thanks!

From Denver Co, Tyson Smith and Shelby Smith fished for a half day on Tantrum and landed a 120 Lbs 6 1/2 Striped Marlin. These folks were excited that it’s not usual to catch a Marlin on a half day trip but they did. It’s not unusual either but it’s a bit early for it to happen so congrats to these two!

And last but not least Dennis Ortiz fished on nuevo with his party of 7 for a full day and also tried going out for tuna with a success. They landed a total of 5 yellowfin and decided to g et their fish cooked for the night.

Thanks to all and congrats on your catch.

We ended a good fishing month with success.

Another month goes by which means less time for me here at RedRum. Just one more month left and You’ll be reading someone else’s blogs/fish reports.

We ended June with good fishing. Lot of things happened this week, lot of people to interview, lots of candidates, but right now, we’ve narrowed it down to 3…I guess the decision will be made on Sunday.

Seas are still at 5 ft and winds remaining at 10-20 mph. The days are hot! I think this will be a very HOT summer, probably even more than last year.

On Nuevo we had Gerry Zachery and Wanny Huang fishing for a full day trip. They were out for a while before they landed their first Dorado. They ended their trip with a total of 2. They took some to get it cooked up for the night and the rest gave it to RedRum for donation. Thanks you guys!

Daniel Sutherland and Craig Pittz fished on RumRunnin with Captain Javier and Mate Jesus. During their 8 hour trip they landed 2 yellowfn tuna, 1 dorado and 1 striped marlin. I heard the marlin was 140 Lbs. These gentlemen were satisfied with their fishing trip. Thanks and congrats on your Marlin

Richard Spragues and his party of 8 fished on Marlin Too with Captin Pancho and mate Jesus. They were out for 8 hours as well and they caught and released 2 Striped Marlin. Not sure the size since they did not come back to the office.

Thanks for reading.

Fish Report for Tuesday June 28th

Hey guys,

Yesterday’s fishing was good. I had a group who was a little bit hesitant about fishing but in the end realized it was well worth it.

Seas have still been 5 ft high which is average here in cabo. No one came back because of seasickness.

All our groups had a great time, especially those who were doing a full day charter. Half Day charter are good but I would personally go for a full day instead, chances of catching fish are much higher.

On RumRunnin we had Todd and Tanner Smith who fished with Captain Javier and Mate Jesus for a full day. After their 8 hour trip they came back with 2 Striped Marlin and 1 40 Lb Dorado. Dorado’s are coming in and like I’ve been saying over the past days, the numbers are low, but they’re almost reaching the right time.

From Las Vegas Nick and Vander Poel and mel Meier fished on our 33′ Nuevo with Captain Juan and mate Manuel for a half day. They had an awesome time catching a nice 140 Lbs Striped Marlin. It’s the first one they’ve caught and they were thrilled about it. Glad they decided to look us up and charter one of our boats. Hope they send in their pics soon so we can post them on this site.

Thanks
Nick

Tiny Hands, Tiny feet, there’s someone new for you to meet!


Ryan and Brooke Donovan have expanded their house by two feet. They’re Dalton Bruin’s!

We know this is not a fish report but it will top any fish report we have done in the past or future.

On Monday June 27th, 2011, we welcomed Dalton Bruin Donovan in this wonderful world of fishermen and women. He was born in Cabo San Lucas to the very proud parents.

Both Mom and Bruin (as he will go by) are doing great. Our plans are to get him out fishing soon and setting some world records.

Bruin definitely beats Ryan’s Huge Black Marlin landed in 2008 and the jackpot winning Yellowfin of 2009! This is Ryan’s biggest “Catch” ever.

We thank all our RedRum friends and family for all there help the past nine months

John(Grampy), Ryan, Brooke, Bruin, Nick
Team RedRum

San Franciscans and the mighty Sword fish!

You probably already found out through facebook, twitter and what not, that on Friday we had a group of guys from San Francisco fighting a sword for more than 9 hours?? No? Well here’s the scoop!

On Friday, I received a call from Captain Omar and first Mate Americo telling me that they would arrive a bit late because they were fighting a BIG FISH. I right away thought it was a Marlin, little did I know they were talking about a Sword Fish, who’s weight was 320+ Lbs.

It’s been 3 years 3 months since RedRum fought and landed this kind of fish. The one caught a while back weighed 260 Lbs. After so long and patiently waiting for the next big catch on Friday that wait came to an end. Michael Black, Shawn Meroni, Mark Roberts, Brendan Morris, Conrad Castor and Sameer Advani where at the airport Thursday about to catch their flight to Cabo San Lucas when they called asking for prices on fishing charter. The information was given and they were going to decide which boat they wanted to take, if any.

A few minutes later I was back on the phone with Mike and they had decided to book the 31′ RedRum. Friday Morning came and it was almost 7 AM…no sign of this group, I started dialing the number provided to remind them of the charter, when in Cabo you know it’s normal to party out a night before and I just wasn’t sure if this was the case. As soon as I hung up the phone, they walked into the office ready for their trip.

These awesome, down to earth guys, were ready for their trip. Omar and Americo walked them down to the boat and off they went into the unexpected. By 11 AM, they had a sword fish on the line, which was caught on live bait with a 50 Lb fishing line and 80 Lb test leader, Custom made fishing pools and shimano reel.

By 6:30 PM, every member of the RedRum family was at the dock waiting patiently to know if the fish had been defeated during the fight, we weren’t sure if they were going to land it since it had been over 7 hours of fighting and Mike and team were a bit tired and ready to give up….All of the sudden Omar contacts us and says “It’s gone to a better life” The cheering started, everyone was stoaked and you can just feel the great vibe at the dock, beers on RedRum, said Ryan.

At 8:30, after a couple of beers and talking with the security dock manager (who wanted to kick us out), RedRum’s headlights start coming in, everyone received Mike Black and his team members with claps, high fives and cheers.

John Donovan had been on the phone with us most part of the day waiting for updated news, I bet he wished he had been here with everyone, it was a fun night. They guys told us how many turns it took each to fight the fish, how they were about to give up on it and how happy and excited they were.

A small interview, thousands of pictures and 6 tired guys was the outcome of this amazing fishing experience. Enjoy one of the many pictures taken and let us know what you think!

Thanks for reading
Nick

220 Lbs Yellowfin Tuna caught by James Wade

Hey All,
Wow, TGIF! so many things going on this week and many many more in the upcoming one! So many changes as well. Just a few more days ’til Ryan and Brooke can hold their firstborn baby in their arms…future heir of RedRum sportfishing is a few days away from waking up in beautiful Cabo!
On Another note, yesterday’s fishing was SUPERB! Ranger Magers and his buddy James Wade fished twice this week. Their first trip took place on June 22nd with their total catch consisting of 12 yellowfin tunas. 20-25 each NOT BAD for day 1 and for a little sharpy sea. Yesterday June 23rd they also fished same crew Omar and Americo from our 31′ RedRum. Their final number of fish caught on day 2 was only 3 Yellowfin tuna a smaller number compared to a day before.
The only difference was that during yesterday’s fishing, one of the Tuna’s they caught weighed 220 Lbs, was caught by James Wade from Dallas Texas! the other two tunas were an average of 20-25 Lbs, but this huge tuna definitely breaks the record so far for this year.
Congratulations to Randy and James for their outstanding performance.
You can check out a picture of the Tuna at the end of the fish report.
From Houston Texas we also had Jon olson and Chad fisihing on a hald day trip with Alex and Manuel on our 33′ Nuevo. Their catch consisted of 2 Dorados.
Michael and Crystal McFarlen fished on tantrum with Ramon and Jesus and caught a nice striped marlin 8 ft 140 Lbs. They had a blast out there. Congratulations you two!
And Jeffery Dietz also fished on Wednesday on Tantrum with ramon and Juan and he caught a total of 6 yellowfin tuna and 1 Dorado.
Thanks for Reading and enjoy the pics!
