“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER 27, 2004
Greg Chaney and Vance Martin fished the Fly Hooker today and were in competition with Greg Hurt, Dave Reese and Don Cartner fishing on another boat. The final was pretty even with our guys getting 6 Dorado and the opponents getting seven. They fished the same area as yesterday, up the Pacific side off the beach around the Margarita area. They will be fishing again on Thursday and Friday so I will let you know what happens then.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER 28, 2004
Today the Peterson party of six fished with Juan and Manuel. With all the fish lately being found up on the Pacific coast around 12 miles up, that is where they headed today. No one got sick and they found plenty of fish, enough that everyone stayed busy most of the time. There were lots of Bonita and Skipjack but the main target was eating fish so the three Dorado of around 15 pounds each, the two Yellowfin of about the same size as the Dorado and the #20 Wahoo were very welcome. A great time, good water and good fishing made the trip a great success!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER 29, 2004
Today Chip Lawson was supposed to fish with us, but we have needed a little work done on the stbd. Engine and today was the first day that the mechanic has been available so Chip and his wife fished another boat. They were back at noon having caught and released a Sailfish. Of course our mechanic showed up at 1 pm and only part of the work we wanted to get done was taken care of, and the work that he did only took two hours. Sigh.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER 30, 2004
Today Dave Reese, Greg Chaney and Vance Martin fished with Juan and Manuel. Again targeting the Pacific coast up to the north, Manuel was able to put them in the right area. The action was steady from 8:30 on as singles, doubles and triples hooked up. The day ended with 16 Dorado, the largest around #30 and the smallest about #10, two Yellowfin Tuna of the football persuasion and one Wahoo of around #25. Unknown numbers of Bonita and Skipjack were released as well. A great day on the water with the 100 pounds of fillets ending up filling a large cooler once the Smokehouse trimmed, packaged and froze the fish.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR OCTOBER 1, 2004
We were supposed to have Dave, Greg, Vance and Don on the boat today, but they went to a carnivore restaurant last night and were not feeling well in their stomachs this morning so cancelled the trip. Ouch, keep close to the bathrooms guys! Of course Juan thought the real reason was that they were too tired after all the action yesterday.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR OCTOBER 2, 2004
John and Amber Austin are newlyweds from Virginia. They each separately booked a fishing trip for today but Mary realized it a week ago when they both referred to being honeymooners with John saying he was getting married to a girl named Amber and her saying that her groom to be was named John! Thank goodness that got straightened out in time! Amber has decided that she is not an ocean kind of girl as she did not feel well the entire trip. Juan and Edgar (Manuel needed the day off) were able to get them three nice Dorado early in the day and lost three others. John really wanted a big Marlin but after the Dorado and putting out the big lures they were not able to raise a billfish. Maybe on the next trip John, you just have to keep trying! Congratulations on your marriage and we hope you enjoyed your honeymoon in Cabo!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR OCTOBER 3, 2004
Today we had our returning customer James Fu, his wife Sabrina and her brother Pi Ming along with a few friends as our clients on the “Fly Hooker”. Juan and Manuel went to the Pacific side looking for meat fish and around 8 miles offshore between the San Jaime and the Golden Gate banks they were able to get into the Dorado. They ended up with 8 fish kept and released on small #8 female. The fillets on the fish they kept ended up weighing 50 pounds so the average weight of the fish was probably around 15 pounds. There were a few Bonita caught as well but they were released. James had a great time but everyone else on the boat was sick and didn’t even eat their lunches. Sorry about that Lames, but maybe next time they will be all right staying on the beach and enjoying the fish dinners based on the fish you catch! Thanks guys, we are glad you had a good time (considering).
