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.

Striped Marlin: 2 @ tagged and released

“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR DECEMBER 7, 2004
The Johnson group from South Dakota Is fishing today and tomorrow on the “Fly Hooker” and ideally everyone would be hooking up a Marlin. All three of them. Well, it almost happened today! The water was in good shape and Juan and Manuel headed out to the south side of the San Jaime banks where the fish had been yesterday. They were still in the area and it was not long before they had the first Striped Marlin hooked up. A fight of about 25 minutes resulted in one fish of around #120 being released unintentionally while still about 50 feet from the boat! Guess the hook came out, huh? Anyway, they were in the right area and not very long afterward they hooked up again. This fish was a Dorado of about #20 and came to the boat fairly quickly. Juan gaffed the fish then pulled a back muscle when trying to get it in the boat and Manuel had to come down from the fly bridge to assist. Later on (not very long though) another Striped Marlin hooked up and after a quick 15 minute battle the fish was alongside the boat for a tag placement, an in-the-water- photo and a release. Next up! One more Striped Marlin to the boat, this one around #140 and another tagged and released fish! Not a bad day and the guys are looking forward to tomorrow. We hope Juan’s back is better then!
The Fly Hooker is going into dry dock to have some work done. We will try to keep stories going in the meantime of our friends fishing on other boats.
