Cabo San Lucas Fishing

  Cabo is 'the billfish capital of the world' and there is NO shortage of choices of folks hawking their skills to take you offshore to hook a few. This is... read more exactly the reason that you go with a trusted and reliable captain and company.
The RedRum group was highly recommended by a family friend and he could not have been more spot on.
Toby, one of the owners, is a joy to work with and he put us in the extremely capable hands of Captain Juan and 1st Mate Jesus on the Rumrunner.
The word in town was 'the bite had been slow' over the past few days, so we were privately concerned that our day would be something of a bust.
We were very wrong.
Capt. Juan knew right where to go and Jesus had all elements in place so we were trolling the moment the engines slowed.
When our first stop was not producing, lines came in and we were gunning to the next location, this time with dolphin escorting us off our bow for much of the way.
Lines hit the Rumrunner's wake a mile or more from where a dozen or more other craft were clustered up together. I admit that I was wondering to myself 'Why the hell aren't we over there'? Well, I will never know if any of those boats were successful, but Juan had a beautiful striped Martin on the line within 5 minutes. This fellow gave me a brilliant battle, complete with long runs and stunning aerials, for 45 tiring minutes. Adding to the scene, a pod of humpback whales frolicked a hundred or so yards off our starboard cheering one of us on. One of these behemoths seemed to take on the role of cheerleader as they rolled to the side several times and waved his massive pectoral fin in the air a dozen or more times.
The guys hoisted the tired marlin over the gunnel with care ... my first marlin and close to 9 feet .. a few pictures and she was back in the sea in under 4 minutes.
My wife was next in the chair less than 30 minutes later, fighting her own fish. Before Jesus could even pull in the remaining lines, 2 more marlin were on. I took one rod with a rod belt, while the circle hook rig allowed us to let the third fish to drop off on his own accord.
The skill and wisdom of the crew directed both of us in landing both our fish without tangling lines.
By the time I landed my third of the day, this one pushing well past 10', we were exhausted and blissfully happy.
In short, an amazing day with the finest crew thanks to an outstanding company that has been doing this for 30 years

I cannot recommend RedRum fishing charters highly enough.

  I am sharing my wonderful experience, because it truly was just that! We went out on oh so rojo with Ramon as our Captain and Marcus as our first mate,... read more and not only did we catch fish, but the entire experience was a 5-star experience. My boyfriend has fished his entire life, but has never had the opportunity of deep sea fishing before. RedRum made our experience top notch from the very beginning. We spent the entire day laughing, smiling, and having an incredible time. I would highly recommend RedRum fishing to anyone who is looking for a safe, fun, and well chartered deep-sea fishing operation!

  We hired Redrum for a full day of fishing the Monday before the recent storm. We set off early, eventually catching 9 mahi-mahi before 11:00 a.m. we then... read more went out further, but got no bites on bigger fish. Regardless, Juan and Jesus were excellent and we had a great experience.

  Do not hesitate to book. Great communication before the trip. Amazing day on the water with Jesus and Capt. Alex.

  What a great time we had. Took my 2 boys and one of their friends on the half day fishing trip yesterday. What a great trip. The captain and crew... read more were great to work with.

  Marlin Day!  - The crew made the experience so memorable and easy. They provide you with everything that you need. Will definitely be doing it again!
