Cabo San Lucas Fishing

  We booked 3 days of fishing on the Red Rum. We have fished Cabo many times so we thought we knew what to expect. What we were impressed... read more with was the smooth operation of the Red Rum Team. From the reservation process with Tiffany to the morning of with Toby to the best crew I have fished with (Omar and Pedro) everyone was courteous, professional and put us on FISH!!!! Tiffany even arranged for us to get tested at the office when USA started requiring them 24 hours before departure. Vacuum sealing the fish after getting them filleted was a very nice touch.

  Just back from second trip fishing with RedRum since July, and we had an excellent experience in all aspects. Great boats, crew, equipment, beverages and lunch. Newish owner... read more Toby (+/- 2 years) has ramped up the experience.

All 8 were CCA folks on 2 boats, and regulars with RedRum. Total catch was 35 Dorado, 13 striped Marlin, 14 yellowfin tuna, and one really nice sailfish.

I have personally fished with RedRum 8 or 9 times since 2014, and recommended RedRum to at least 4 groups that have all had an equally great experience.

  Tiffany went over and beyond to assist in the planning of our week long stay. From scheduling our request to fish with Alex to personally packing our fish for travel.... read more /> We have had 6 other trips with Redrum and she has always been a familiar, loud, joyful, welcoming presence.
Alex and Omar are absolutely a joy to spend the day with. Everyone on the boat reeled in a Marlin and Dorado and they took time to make sure we got photos. Thank you to the staff for treating us like your only guest.

  Professional hard working and fun Captain and Crew - Never disappoints! Been fishing same boat, few different captains over past 15+ years. Captain and crew work hard.

  Redrum was recommended to us by a friend who knew we were fishing during our visit and they did not disappoint! Booking, communication and professionalism were perfect! Tiffany is super... read more friendly and helpful. José & Ulises we’re our captains and deckhands and they were awesome! We missed our marlin this trip but we had a blast and caught our limit on Maihi Maihi which was more than enough to indulge and share. HIGHLY RECOMMEND REDRUM!!

  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.
