“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 5 APRIL, 2004
Jeff Zielinski, his sister and her husband were referred to us by a client of ours and
were looking forward to a chance to get into some big fish on this trip. Well, the best
laid plans and all that stuff. The water was just beautiful yesterday and today it was
nice as well, but the fish have not yet moved in closer. Juan and Manuel took the boat
26 miles to the southwest, just off the San Jaime Banks, and they were able to get into
the porpoise. Into the porpoise, but not into the Yellowfin. Instead they hooked into
some bomber sized Bonita and were able to get three of the 20 pound fish into the
boat. Not bad, but not exactly what they were looking for. I just wish the water had
been a little warmer, maybe they would have had better luck. At least there was fish for
dinner! Thanks guys, and Joe, thank you as well for the referral!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 6 APRIL, 2004
Our buddies Nick and Carol Fedorka were here for the Easter weekend with their
kids Nick and Carleigh and their friend Mijoy Milby. The wind had started to pickup a
bit yesterday but was not bad for today, at least no one got sick! The boat went the
same area as yesterday and were able to find the Porpoise again. Again they were
able to get into fish but today it was the right kind! Three nice Yellowfin were brought
into the boat, the largest of which Juan told me may have gone around 35 pounds, the
other two at around 20 pounds. Nice fish, and nice fillets! The kids all had a chance to
reel in fish and a few more were lost as well, but a good time was had by everyone on
board! Thanks Nick!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 7 APRIL, 2004
Jon Whimpney, his brother Stacy and their friend Derek Keen are down here for
Easter break and this is their first time to Cabo. They are students and work in the
summer as fishing guides in Canada while in the winter they study for degrees in
biology. They really want a chance to get a Marlin, or at least a really big fish, but
Marlin are the main target. These guys don’t have a lot of money but they have
booked the “Fly Hooker” for three days, today, tomorrow and Saturday. Today Juan
and Manuel went to the south of the 95 spot looking for the Marlin that the guys want to
focus on. Well, there were three Marlin sighted and bait was tossed to one of them, but
as sometimes happens the fish was not interested. They did not get skunked however,
as the guys were able to get into a school of Tuna that were biting. With all the action
happening it was difficult to keep accurate track, but Juan said that they had let at least
8 Yellowfin go and he and Manuel had filleted an even dozen. The largest of the Tuna
that they filleted would have gone an easy 45 pounds and the guys told me that the big
fish of the day had been lost below the boat. I asked Juan about it and he said that the
fish would have gone an easy 80 pounds, but the hook pulled loose. Maybe that was
because the length of the fight allowed the fish to wear a hole in it’s mouth, but
regardless they had a great day on the water. Of course the wind started to blow pretty
good late yesterday and the water was rough, but they did get into the fish! Let’s keep
our fingers crossed for tomorrow!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 8 APRIL, 2004
Jon, Stacy and Derek were out today on the second of their three days and today
they were finally able to get a Marlin to the boat. They were fishing 21 miles to the
southeast and there was a pretty nice temperature break there. On the way out they
picked up two small Yellowfin of about 15 pounds each, plus a small 10 pound Dorado.
When they reached the temp break they found a small group of Striped Marlin that
came in and attacked the lures. Juan said that there were five fish on the surface and
that three of them whacked at the lures. One of them was hooked up good and Juan
tossed out a bait that was totally ignored. Stacy was the lucky angler and it took him
about 25 minutes to subdue the feisty #130 Striped Marlin. After the fight the fish was
released and everyone started on the beer! Not a bad day and they were able to pick
up one more of the #15 Yellowfin on the way back in. A good day and some nice flags
flying when they entered the Marina!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 10 APRIL, 2004
The last of three days of fishing for our Canadian fishing guides/students and the
water was much rougher today than the first two days they fished. We were supposed
to have a trip yesterday but the wind was blowing so hard in the morning that we
postponed until Easter Sunday. At least it calmed down in the afternoon and this
morning ‘twas just a slight breeze. Of course that did not change the set of the swells
any, and it was still blowing pretty good off shore by all accounts. With the rough water
they were not able to get as far off shore and with the fact that one of the guys was
feeling a bit “disabled”, the fishing left a bit to be desired. Two very small Yellowfin
were all that happened today, and the fish were small enough that they might have
been put back out as live bait had the water temps been right for Blue Marlin! Well, the
guys had two great days of fishing and they were able to get one Marlin to the boat and
released so the trip was a success. I just hope that the next time they are all able to
get a fish to the boat and released! Thanks guys, and have fun for the rest of the
vacation!
