Tip&Trick Description 1:
MEAT STOCK CUBE CHEMICAL LURE
This started off by being an applied science project in school linked to fishing for predatory species. I am happy for anyone to try it out. It takes some preparation but is worth the experiment. You can use it for river, lake or sea fishing from a bank, beach, pier or boat. Use the strongest line you have for dragging. Have a camera to get evidence of your catch.
First get your meat stock cubes – the red varieties are the best imitation of the fluids that leak from wounded prey. They are much cheaper if bought in the large boxes and cost even less if you can get them put on someone else’s shopping list.
You also need a pair of tights or stockings so ask nicely – particularly if someone is wearing them at the time!
Cut the tights/stockings up into 10cm (4in) squares and put them onto a flat surface.
Take the foil wrapping off of each stock cube being careful not to crumble it and place one centrally onto each square of the tights/stockings.
Tie the four corners of the material together into a firm knot – a test of your dexterity – you may need to use bigger squares at first and trim them up afterwards.
Then tie a length of line inside the knot of each lure bag leaving plenty of spare to attach to the eye on your lure. Store your bags in a waterproof and crushproof container.
When you are ready to fish attach a bag to the eye of your lure making sure that you tie the knot so that a used bag can be easily removed from the eye but cannot slip off during movement underwater. A pair of fine scissors will useful to do the cutting during bag changing. Dispose of used bags and line responsibly please – not into the water or onto the site.
Keep safe – wear a lifejacket if you are fishing on or by deep water. Keep yourself warm and waterproof. Do not fish on your own – it is safer with others. Let someone know where you are going and have a means of contacting him or her.

“FLY HOOKER” WEEKLY FISH COUNT
Striped Marlin: One tagged and released (#120)
Dorado: One taken (#45)
Yellowfin Tuna: Five taken (10-45#)
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR JULY 18, 2003
Peter Simon booked the “Fly Hooker” for today to give a few guys here for a bachelor party a
chance to do some fishing. Peter is a Fly Fisherman (note the capitol letters?) and brought his
own gear just in case he got a chance to get some action on the 10 weight. Unfortunately it did
not work out that he was able to get a chance to use his gear as you really need a target to cast at
in order to do the “normal “ fly fishing. What happened instead was that we pulled a Marlin
popper on the 13 weight rod and ended up hooking a #35 Yellowfin Tuna on the troll. Wait, I’m
getting ahead of myself a bit here. The bachelor party consists of six guys, one of the arriving
today while we were fishing and one of the guys not interested in doing any fishing at all. They
rented a very nice house up in the “Pedregal” for the time here and Mary picked them up this
morning. I went along since Peter wanted a chance to do some fly fishing. Juan and Manuel took
us out for an hour to the South before we put lines in the water and about 45 minutes later we
spotted some Porpoise out on the horizon. We were the first boat there and on the first pass we
hooked up on three trolled lures on regular gear and also on the Marlin popper trolled on the fly
rod. The first two Tuna to the boat were in the 20 pound class, the last one was a good #45 and
gave us a great tussle at the side of the boat. Peter was on the Tuna hooked on the fly rod and it
was about 10 minutes after we got the last fish on conventional gear in the boat that Juan was in
position to get a gaff shot on Peters fish. The fish was just in range when it did a sudden dive
down and forward, and as Manuel tried to adjust the boat, the fish dove. Juan grabbed the rod
and pushed it as far down into the water as possible but the prop on the starboard engine ran
against the fly line and the fish was cut off. We figured that fish at around 20-25 pounds and full
of fight! About that time other boats were arriving in the area but there were no more fish caught
for the next hour. We figured that the school had followed the lost fish into the depths. Late on
while we were heading back Manuel spotted as big turtle on the surface and as we passed the
spot, there were two large Dorado under the turtle. Right away Juan tossed out a live bait and we
did a slow turn around the area. Surprisingly, it was not the live bait that got hit, it was the
Marlin lure in “Mean Joe Green” color, moving at what had to be only two knots, off of the
bridge rod that got hit. This was the Bull and it took about 25 minutes to get the fish to the boat
before Juan was able to get the first gaff shot at the fish The fish struggled at the gaff for a
minute then pulled loose and around two minutes later I was able to get the fish to the side of the
boat for the second gaff shot. This time it took and the 45 pound Dorado was ours! Another
pass on the spot with no results and we continued trolling in. About 10 miles from the Marina at
12:30, we had a Blue Marlin come up on the same lure the Dorado had hit, and this fish took
about 100 yards of line and made one jump before the hook pulled loose. Quite the trip for a
group of four bachelor, and these guys were plenty happy! Thanks guys, and we are hoping you
did not spend too much money tonight while out on the town!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR JULY 19, 2003
I wish I remembered the names of the couple that fished today, but all I really know is that they
fished yesterday on one of the fleet boats and got nada, zero, zip, and they did not really want to
go another day. After explaining the difference between going out on a fleet boat and a boat
owned by a small business, they decided to give it another try. They were glad they did as they
tagged and released a Striped Marlin of 120 pounds (her first Marlin!) and brought two Yellowfin
Tuna to the boat. It was a long day, but the water was nice and the saw so much sea life that they
thought they were at “Sea World”! Thanks for the business and we were glad to make your trip
one to remember!
