WEEKLY FISH COUNT
STRIPED MARLIN: ONE FISH RELEASED (#140)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: ELEVEN FISH KEPT (#8-#45)
DORADO: TWO FISH KEPT (#25)
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 14 MARCH, 2004
Our friends Dave Reese (and family) and Hayden Knott (and family) are in town
again and Dave and Hayden went out on the “Fly Hooker” today. Last year Dave did
not have very much luck, nor did he the time before. Thank goodness they caught fish
today, Dave was beginning to think that the problem was him! Juan and Manuel went a
bit to the south this morning and at a distance of 22 miles found the fish. They were
the first boat there and that really helped as the later boats to the Porpoise did not have
any luck at all. Dave caught the largest Yellowfin and it was estimated at #45. That
was the second fish he reeled in and he was pretty tired in the arms after that one.
Hayden got more fish, three in all. All the fish were between #25 and #45, a very nice
total. Dave and Hayden both said it was a great day on the water and we were invited
to dinner to share the results. Thanks guys, we love you a lot and really look forward to
your visits! And Dave, Juan wanted me to thank you again for the insulated coffee
mugs!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 17 MARCH, 2004
Today we had the William Cook party on the “Fly Hooker” and thank goodness the
fishing has picked up! Juan and Manuel worked the area outside the 95 spot and
ended up doing pretty good. One of the reasons was finding a dead whale out there.
They were not the first boat to the spot, and Juan said they did not stay long as it was a
little crazy, but they did manage to pickup two out of three Dorado that bit. Live bait
was the key as the Dorado were feeding on the little fish picking at the carcass. Both
Dorado were in the #25 range. After leaving they got into porpoise that they worked for
well over an hour and ended up catching 4 small football Yellowfin Tuna. The next item
on the agenda was a Marlin and it took a bit longer to take care of that request, but
when things are going well...hey! One Striped Marlin baited, hooked and fought to the
boat for the placement of a tag and then released. The fish was estimated at #140 and
the fight took 35 minutes. A great day and the water conditions were perfect!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 18 MARCH, 2004
Today was booked two days ago while talking with some folks while sitting at
Tanga-Tanga eating one of the great cheeseburgers they sell there. Dan, Kim, Paul
and Patty only wanted to go for a half day, just a chance to get out on the water with a
chance to get dinner as well. Juan and Manuel worked the same area as yesterday for
Tuna and were able to get two little guys into the boat, just enough for dinner.
Everyone had a great time and enjoyed themselves, and that is what it’s all about,
right?
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 20 MARCH, 2004
Rob Callahan and his family along with his friend and family were on The “Fly
Hooker” today. They were really hoping for some action on fish for the kids, and Jan
and Manuel tried to get into Porpoise, but were only able to find Whales. Juan said
they saw over 20 Striped Marlin during the trip and had lure strikes from two of them,
but the fish did not stick. They also had one fish that tried to eat the live bait tossed at
it, but apparently the hook turned back into the bait and the Marlin failed to hook up.
The fish were out there, but just not really hungry. Perhaps tomorrow will be better?
Lets keep our fingers crossed!
