“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR NOVEMBER 24, 2004
Michael Eng was the guinea pig today as he was the first client to get to go out on the “Fly Hooker” with the newly re-built starboard engine. That is a story by itself and I was way optimistic to think that job could be done in a few days. As it turned out, it took three weeks. Anyway, Michael fished alone but had orders from those in his party back at the resort for fresh Tuna. There have not been a lot of them around but Juan and Manuel were able to get him hooked up to five of them, boating four of the fish. They had no other action as Marlin and Dorado were of secondary importance. The action was sudden as the first pass on the fish they found resulted in a triple hook up with one fish dropping off, then two singles on later passes. The fish were not large, with the biggest around 15 pounds, but there was fresh tuna to take back! Thanks Michael, we are glad you were able to get the fish you wanted, perhaps next time there will be some giants in the school!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR NOVEMBER 25, 2004
Our good friend Andy Cline is back in Cabo with his daughter Lauren and this time he was not supposed to touch a rod with a fish on it. On the last trip out he decided she would not be able to handle the #350 Blue Marlin that hooked up and he ended up with the fish. This trip it was supposed to be her turn to get the big one. Well, it sort of worked out that way. They were able to get a Striped Marlin hooked up early in the day while they were just outside of the lighthouse on the Pacific side of the Cape and Lauren fought the fish. It hooked up on the bridge rod and took her about 20 minutes to get the estimated #140 Striped Marlin to the boat for a release. The next action took them quite a bit longer as nothing happened until they were on the west side of the San Jaime Bank. Almost the second that they came off of the drop there was a strike on the short rigger lure. Lauren got in the chair and started to reel on the fish and then the long outrigger lure came down. Another fish on! With two fish hooked up at the same time Andy had no choice but to work the second hook up. A double on Wahoo was the result! Lauren fish took her about five minutes and the result was a Wahoo that was estimated at 50-55 pounds. Just a minute later Andy got his fish to the boat and it was about five pounds larger. That was all the action for the trip but it was a great trip with quality fish. Thanks Andy, and by now Juan realizes who it was that got him started on the Ballyhoo and Islander combinations! We are looking forward to seeing you on the boat again the day after tomorrow!
“FLY HOOKER “FISH REPORT FOR NOVEMBER 27, 2004
Once again we had Andy Cline and his daughter Lauren on the “Fly Hooker” and Andy invited his girlfriend Gigi and her daughter Bridget to join them. The objective for the day was to get the girls hooked up to a Marlin and Juan and Manuel were successful in fulfilling the request. The boat headed out toward the area that had been holding fish the day before (at least according to other Captains) and guess what? Yep, the fish were still there! The end result was three Striped Marlin hooked up and two fish brought to the boat for release. All the girls got to fight a Marlin and in addition Gigi was able to bring dinner to the boat with a nice Dorado estimated at 25 pounds. The water was in great condition and they had a lot of fun. I hope you girls got hooked! Thanks again Andy, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
