If you caught some fish and you would like to bring it with you, no problemo!
The boat crew will take it (and you) to the Marina Fillet Station. The cost is between $3-$5 USD a fish. You can take the fish with you and bring it to the restaurant of your choice or cook it up yourself.
If you want to bring the fish back to the States, you bring the fish back to our office and we vacuum seal and freeze it at no additional cost. To bring the fish on the airplane, it has to be fully frozen and in an airline approved box or a cooler. Airline approved boxes are available for purchase at our office.
A good starting point for a Fishing Charter is 10%, however in many cases, with multiple fish caught, the average effort is higher and deserving of more.
There is always something to catch here in Cabo, it just depends on what you’re looking for.
Take a look at our Fishing Calendar below to see what is in season throughout the year.
We do not have a program to match anglers that are looking to share a boat. If you would like to find someone to split the cost, our recommendation would be to ask around where you are staying.

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!!
12 de September de 2020The team at Redrum got us on the fish again this year. We had a great day catching 4 marlin and 1 sailfish while we were out with them. They... read more always do a great job and we are looking forward to our next trip with them.
30 de August de 2020We 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 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.
8 de February de 2022Angel and crew was awesome. We got onto several Marlins sail fish. We caught tuna, and Dorado. The crew shared there burritos with us, and they were delicious thumbs up... read more Angel.
26 de September de 2023I 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!
