Tip&Trick Description 1:
The Castaway
One day this guy, who has been stranded on a desert island all alone for ten years, sees an unusual
speck on the horizon. 'It's certainly not a ship, 'he thinks to himself. As the speck gets closer and closer,
he begins to rule out the possibilities of a small boat, then even a raft.
Suddenly, emerging from the surf comes this drop-dead gorgeous blonde woman wearing a wet suit and
scuba gear. She approaches the stunned guy and says to him, 'Tell me, how long has it been since
you've had a cigarette?' 'Ten years' replies the stunned man. With that, she reaches over and unzips a
waterproof pocket on her left sleeve and pulls out a pack of fresh cigarettes. He takes one, lights it and
takes a long drag and says, 'Man oh man! Is that ever good!'
And how long has it been since you've had a sip of bourbon?' she asks him.
Trembling, the castaway replies: 'Ten years!' She reaches over, unzips her waterproof pocket on her
right sleeve pulls out a flask and hands it to him. He opens the flask, takes a long swig and says, 'Wow,
that's absolutely fantastic!'
At this point, she starts slowly unzipping the long zipper that runs own the front of her wet suit, looks at
him seductively and asks, 'And how long has it been since you've played around?' With tears in his eyes
the guy falls to his knees and says. 'Oh sweet Jesus! Don't tell me you've got golf clubs in there too! |

�FLY HOOKER� FISH REPORT FOR 25 NOVEMBER 2002
Rick Harris is in town again on a short notice
vacation and today he went fishing aboard the
�Fly Hooker� with a friend of the family, Kyle.
Juan and Manuel took the boat up the Pacific side
and worked the area about three miles offshore of
the Margarita/Los Arcos area and had a lot of
fun with Dorado. Rick only wanted to keep a little
bit for dinner so they started releasing fish. A
total of 8 large Dorado gave them a lot of jumps
and lots of fight and they were back at the
Marina by 12:30! Thanks Rick, we look forward to
seeing you again next year!
�FLY HOOKER� FISH REPORT FOR 26 NOVEMBER 2002
Walt Ehnat and his grown sons Tom and Marty
were our anglers today. This is their third day
of fishing on this vacation and they had a blast!
Well, everyone except Marty. He crawled out of
the cabin when the boat got back in at noon and
wanted to know when we were leaving! A little
bit of the old �Tequila Flu�! Well Walt pretty
much took it easy since it wasn�t too long ago
that
he had a triple bypass so it was up to Tom to do
most of the fishing. Juan and Manuel were able
to keep him busy by hooking up 9 Dorado, 2
Yellowfin and letting him fight an estimated 310
pound Blue Marlin for over an hour before tagging
and releasing it! I sure hope the fishing stays
this good.
�FLY HOOKER� FISH REPORT FOR 28 NOVEMBER 2002
It clouded up last night and this morning, just
after the boat left the Marina with John and Ray
aboard for a half day of fishing, the skies opened
up and it poured! This was the first time for
John and Ray to do any kind of fishing and one of
them had a very worried wife. About mid day
we were able to calm her down with the report that
the guys were catching fish, were not seasick
and would be coming in on time. Manuel and Edgar
went back to the Pacific side, up off of Los
Arcos and caught 7 Dorado and 2 Yellowfin Tuna.
�FLY HOOKER� FISH REPORT FOR 29 NOVEMBER, 2002
Brothers Zach and Brian Eastman are fishing
today and tomorrow and they really want to
catch a Marlin. We had our fingers crossed when
they left this morning. Juan and Manuel went
back to the Pacific side and were able to get 4
Dorado in the boat but no Marlin. They did have
strikes from 4 Striped Marlin and saw lots of them
on the surface and jumping but were not able
to get a hook to stick in any of them. Hopefully
tomorrow!
�FLY HOOKER� FISH REPORT FOR 30 NOVEMBER 2002
The second day of fishing for Zach and Brian
was not as eventful as yesterday. Juan and
Manuel returned to the same area as yesterday but
the fish had moved on. Today they didn�t even
see a Marlin and they only caught one Dorado.
�FLY HOOKER� FISH REPORT FOR DECEMBER 1, 2002
Zach Eastman decided to give it one more try
and Brian decided that he wanted to do the Sand
Dunes ATV excursion. Zach invited me to go along
and I was happy to get the chance. Lines
went in the water outside the lighthouse on the
Pacific side and for the next three hours we had a
boat ride as we worked our way up the coast toward
the Golden Gate Banks. About three miles
short of the Banks Juan spotted a turtle in the
water and as we passed by him we had a very large
Bull Dorado come and grab the long rigger lure.
The fish didn�t stick and we worked the area for
a little bit with no luck. We even dragged a live
bait by the turtle, hoping that there were more
Dorado under it. When we got to the banks there
were 12 boats there and all of them were
trolling, with no luck. At about the same time
everyone stopped trolling and dropped down live
bait. We gave it a shot for about a half hour but
with no luck. We were told that the bite had
been early using the deep dropped bait. Lots of
bait balls, schools of Mackerel on the depth
finder, but no interested Marlin. It was not until
we were almost all the way back, just about 4
miles off of Los Arcos, that we finally had a
Marlin strike. The fish grabbed the shotgun lure
but
did not hook up. I dropped back a live bait and we
saw the Marlin come in and grab it. I ended
up farming the fish! He ran with it for a few
second, stopped to eat it then ran again. I set
the
hook on the second run and I guess I didn�t wait
ling enough because I had good solid weight for
a few seconds then could feel the hook pull loose.
That was our only shot of the day and I blew
it! Again, I�m sorry Zach! Our fingers are
crossed that next time will be better. Until then,
Tight
Lines!
Until Next Week, Tight Lines form George, Mary,
Juan and Manuel, the �Fly Hooker� Crew!
