Cabo San Lucas Fishing

  Great trip fishing for dorado and marlin. The crew was friendly and professional. The staff made sure we took off with out a hitch. We chartered a... read moreday trip but crushed our limit of dorado in 30 minutes, 8 dorado total so we spent the rest of the time looking for marlin we caught a great one and returned it to the ocean. They filleted the fish and vacuum sealed it for us about 30lbs in total. I would highly recommend them

  Best in Cabo  - Hands down one of the best chartered trips I have done. Captain Juan and crew gave me memories I will never forget. 20 minutes in and we hooked up with... read morea beautiful wahoo. Then continue out to look for tuna, and in no time find the pods of porpoises. Switch the gear and double up on smaller yellowfins. They continued to work and follow the porpoises and pick up two more yellows. And just as they were gonna pick up and switch gear for marlin, a tuna boil. Couldn’t get one of the 100+ lb that were jumping, but got one about 40. Trolled on the way back in and ended the day with a 150lb marlin.

Not only was the fishing amazing, so was the service. Breakfast burrito’s, water beer and sodas included. After fish cleaning they vacuum packed my catch and held it in their freezer at no extra charge. Will definitely fish with them again and highly recommend them to anyone who even talks about Cabo!

  Best 4th of July ever!  - A memorable day out in the water with family and the best crew in Cabo. Took a full day charter with Captain Erik and crew mates Jesus and Chuy (also... read moreJesus). These guys worked their asses off! Constantly communicating with the fleet and changing bait to ensure we got on fish and did we. We had a ton of bites and eventually brought in 5 Marlin to the deck. Saw a ton of sea life from dolphins to sharks. A memorable experience shared with family (3 generations). This one is up there and I’ll definitely be back.

A deserved shout out to Nicole (booking coordinator) - An absolute gem of a person. On top of the reservation as soon as I booked it and always responsive. I left my prescription glasses on the boat and didn’t notice until coming down off the high of the day. Nicole worked with me and was kind enough to do the leg work to deliver it to my resort. I’m extremely grateful for that extra attention to detail.

I can confidently say my experience with REDRUM will be one of many more to come. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

  Great experience from beginning to end. They answered their phone and addressed all of our questions. Their pricing is very reasonable and includes taxes and bait (not all... read morecharters do). The boats are nice and the equipment is good. We left on time and were into Marlins as soon as we got to the 'spot'. They are also very conveniently located in the marina. We will definitely use them again when we go back.

  Absolutely Bucket list trip- Big Chuy and little Chuy put us on 5 Stripped Marlin - all Caught and Released. These guys are the best in Cabo- professional,... read morestate of the art Tackle. 3rd time to book a trip and already looking forward to our trip next year with them.

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.
