“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER 20, 2004
Brian Howell, his father John and uncle Bob were fishing on the “Fly Hooker” today and they wanted to get some meat to take home. Since Juan and Manuel had been able to find two big Dorado south of the San Jaime Banks yesterday they decided to return to the area. It was a good thing they did as there were still fish in the area. The catch for the day ended up being almost two fish per person as they boated 5 Dorado weighing between #25 and #40, lost one other and had a big Wahoo make two slashing passes on the short bait toward the end of the trip. The fillets totaled out at #55, skin off and required a new cooler to get them packed up in! Good going guys and good luck on the Panga tomorrow!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER 21, 2004
Our friends Tom and Nancy booked the “Fly Hooker” for today and we were expecting to meet them last night at the Tanga-Tanga bar. Well, we did meet them but they are not the ones fishing, instead, they had recommended the boat to some friends and had done the booking for them. Not a bad way to do it and the three guys who went fishing today loved it! David, his son Donny and their friend Harry had a great time with Juan and Manuel. In fact, they had such a good time that they booked the boat for tomorrow as well! Juan and Manuel decided the area they worked yesterday should still be holding fish and back they went to the south of the San Jaime. They ran for an hour before putting lines in the water then trolled for another hour when Manuel spotted Porpoise several miles ahead. The water was a bit rough as they made the first pass on the Porpoise and that is when they picked up the smallest fish of the trip, a Yellowfin of about #18. With that fish quickly cranked in they made another pass and had a triple strike. These fish were a bit larger; the first two to the boat were in the #25-30 range. The third fish showed quickly that he outclassed all the others when he took the line well into the backing, taking out the 200 yards of top-shot and almost 300 yards of backing! David was on the fish for almost 40 minutes before Juan was able to place the flying gaff in the Yellowfin that they all estimated at well over #100! They were able to hook up with two other Yellowfin before the bite turned of and the area became crowded with boats. As they worked their way back toward the Marina they landed two Dorado of about #25 and had a nice Wahoo make a pass on a lure and just cut up the skirts! A great day with 6 Yellowfin and two Dorado, lets see what they can do tomorrow!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER 22, 2004
The second day of fishing for David, Donny and Harry started out at the dock as they came on the boat with a camera that had a good battery (no pictures yesterday because the battery died) and a new cooler (on wheels) for the fillets they were going to get. Well…..maybe they should have brought them yesterday because it was really slow for them today. Donny caught the largest fish of today’s trip, a Bonita about 6 pounds. They tossed a live bait at a Sailfish and the Sailfish just picked the bait off the hook. Around 10am they got a call about some Tuna action happening 8 miles from their location and they brought the lines in and ran to the action. By the time they got there, 13 boats were working the fish and they were down and not biting, the action was already over for the day. Oh well, one day fish, one day scales. They are heading up to the East Cape for the weekend; I hope they have good luck up there. Have a great time guys, and thanks for fishing with us!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER 24, 2004
Rick Parsons and Lee Peevy are here again and will be fishing aboard the “Fly Hooker” today and tomorrow. This morning as he was loading ice on the boat Juan pulled a muscle in his back so Manuel worked the deck and Juan stayed on the bridge. They headed out to a temperature break 20 miles to the south of the lighthouse and it was there that they found fish. One Sailfish tagged and released, one that picked at the bait but would not eat and two Dorado, the largest about #35. Not a lot of action but there were fish out there. Tomorrow things may be different!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER 25, 2004
It was the second day of fishing for Rick and Lee and today Edgar worked the deck as Juan stayed at home helping his back to heal with ice packs and heat pads. Manuel decided that the area they were at yesterday held promise again as the temp break had not moved so off they went. This time both Rick and Lee caught a Striped Marlin, but neither fish was tagged, just released. There was a nice #30 Yellowfin Tuna as well and lots of Porpoise around. They guys get to head for home with fish and with the knowledge that two day of fishing resulted in three Billfish released. Not bad!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER 26, 2004
Greg and his wife Laura along with Vance and his wife Patty were on the “Fly Hooker” today. Back in Cabo with their group they will be fishing and mixing on our boat and another for four days this week and I will be taking them all out on a big boat on Tuesday. Anything was fair game today and it started out with quick action not too far from the Arch as a nice Blue Marlin struck one of the lures and got hooked up for around a minute. It was long enough for Vance to get to work the fish, or at least hold on as it pulled drag and jumped! After 60 seconds it threw the hook. Greg is now known as Mr. Marlin (or at least he would like to be know as that) because he caught his first Striped Marlin today and has film to prove it! He won the pot for the biggest fish between the two boats with the tag and release of a #145 jumping son-of-a-gun Marlin. One other Striped Marlin came in and struck a lure but it did not hook up and “Mr. Release-them Quick” Vance did his duty with a decent Dorado, using the “Palm Beach Release” technique and letting the fish go while it was still 30 feet from the boat. Good action, good water and good friends, it doesn’t get much better! Let’s hope the fishing improves a bit so you guys get the coolers filled!
