Tip&Trick Description 1:
I primarily use this rig for King Mackeral fishing on the East coast. The rig is very simple. When using a ribbon fish deep try attaching a single bait hook roughly 8-10 inches above the ribbon fish. This technique will provide more action to the dead ribbon fish and will also appear to the King Mackeral that the ribbon is attempting to feed on the live bait. All avid King Mackeral anglers know that a large king is more acceptable during a feed. I hope that this rig will help add an edge to everyone who fishes live bait for King Mackeral. The rig should be tied as described below:
30 - 50lb barrel swivel to haywire twist, 4 inch #6 leader wire, haywire twist to single bait hook (sz. preference), haywire twist 8 inch #6 wire, Hookup jig head 3/16, haywire twist to 3 or 4 hook stinger setup. No picture is provided due to the length of the rig. The small wire and hooks are not noticable when whole rig is in frame.

WEEKLY FISH COUNT
1 Striped Marlin tagged and released (#130)
2 Dorado kept (#25, #12)
1 Dorado released (#10)
1 Bonita released (#8)
2 Amberjack released
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR DECEMBER 21, 2003
Bob and his son Jed along with friends Al and Nancy were accompanied by Baja on
the Fly Guides Jeff and Lance aboard the “Fly Hooker” today. The plan was to hook
Jed up to something nice on regulation gear while hopefully getting Al and Nancy a
shot at something on the long rod. Well, it ended up with Jed getting a nice Dorado in
the middle of the trip and having a long boat ride between times. The water was a bit
choppy way up on the Pacific side of the coast so it was a nice ride home, but the fish
were scarce. Just off the Arch we stopped and chummed, getting the Bonita slashing in
on the bait. Nancy hooked, then lost one, Al had a long, hard fight with a fish that
weighed 8 pounds and was released. Giving Jed a shot, he proceeded to hook up a
small Dorado that jumped all over the place, was then brought to the boat and
released.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR DECEMBER 22, 2003
Today it was just Al and Nancy on the “Fly Hooker” as Bob and Jed fished aboard
another boat. Lots of Sardinas for chum and off they went to the south looking for
Yellowfin Tuna. Porpoise were found but they had no luck on the Tuna and returned to
just off the arch, fishing in close and hooking up a couple of small Amberjacks.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR DECEMBER 23, 2003
Al and Nancy again as Bob and Jed are taking the day off. They were going to start
close to the arch today and take advantage of the tide change and get into the Bonito
and Dorado on the fly, but there was no small bait available. The target changed as
they went to conventional tackle and Nancy spent a hard fought 20 minutes fighting a
Striped Marlin estimated at #130 to the boat for a tag and release fish. She amazed
Juan and Manuel with her experience on the fish! Good going Nancy!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR DECEMBER 24, 2003
Al and Nancy were rejoined by Bob and Jed today and the target was a Marlin for
Jed. We looked all day and were only able to find one Striped Marlin tailing on the
surface. It did not eat the bait tossed to it and we had no other fish sighted. A very
slow day and a nice boat ride. We did watch Porpoise and Whales and spotted two
turtles though. Maybe Jed will get his Marlin on the next trip? Thanks guys, have a
very merry Christmas!
