Cabo San Lucas Fishing

  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 more a 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!

  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.

  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.

  Redrum Fishing!  - I would like to start by saying that Nicole with Redrum was amazing, she answered all questions for months of planning from start to finish! This was our... read more 2nd time fishing with Redrum and we will never use anyone else! The crew was also amazing and we caught over 30 Mahi Mahi and got 6 marlin on the line but only got 2 into the boat! It was awesome and they worked really hard to give us the best time!

  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.

  Cabo Marlin Epic Experience  - My friends and I had the most amazing (EPIC) day fishing with Capt. Juan and mates Daniel and Rena! We were able to go 5 for 6 on Blue Marlin.... read more The crew did an amazing job and were great to fish with. If/when I return to Cabo I will definitely be fishing with this crew again. Thank you Mar Vida and crew!!
