Cabo San Lucas Fishing

  Fished two days with Redrum, one on LaNueva and one on 19’s toy. It was a great experience that started with a bang! First day produced a Blue Marlin early... read more in the morning on the one and only bite of the day! The second day was action packed, but the sea was extremely choppy and it was storming due to the hurricane. The port was going to close early in the day, however the crew still produced and with a quick limit of dorado the crew brought us back safe and sound. I have to mention it was on our return to the dock that I did have some trouble with the receptionist or maybe someone they would call their manager. As long as you stay clear from her you could have a great time! But if you do run into her your experience could go from a 5 out of 5 to just a 4! She is nasty, but the owner was an extremely nice guy who seemed genuine.

  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.

  This place was recommended to me by a local friend down there that buys his bait from them. Did not disappoint. They set me up with a half day panga,... read more met me down there early that morning, and provided us with all the bait we needed. Caught a bunch of dorado and had a blast. Capt Carlos was a good guy.

  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 more state of the art Tackle. 3rd time to book a trip and already looking forward to our trip next year with them.

  This was my third trip out with RedRum and took my four boys out for their first time. We all had a blast and each of my kids caught a... read more fish, and that's all I wanted. The marlin was a bonus for sure. Captain Gabo (I hope I got that right) and Pancho were badass. Will be booking with them again.

  We fished with Alejandro and Ulysis. The trip was amazing for us all especially for my dad. They made sure we got on fish and were such wonderful people... read more to fish with. We have fished with Redrum several times and we highly recommend them. Also a huge shoutout to Tiffany for booking us a boat the first day after marina being closed for a storm. Booking is a breeze with Tiffany! 🙂
