Tip&Trick Description 1:
Here’s a fishing story.
Four married guys go fishing. After an hour, the following conversation
took place:
First guy:
’You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out fishing this
weekend. I had to promise my wife that I will paint every room in the
house next weekend.’
Second guy:
’That is nothing, I had to promise my wiife that I will build her a new
deck for the pool.’
Third guy:
’Man, you both have it easy! I had to promise my wife that I will
remodel the kitchen for her.’
They continue to fish when they realized that the fourth guy has not
said a word. So they asked him.!
’You haven’t said anything about what you had to do to be able to come
fishing this weekend. What’s the deal?’
Fourth guy:
’I just set my alarm for 5:30 am. When it went off, I shut off my alarm,
gave the wife a nudge and said, ’Fishing or Sex’ and she said, ’Wear a
sweater.’

“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR OCTOBER 25, 2004
Ed and Paula Weis are fishing with us again today and on Wednesday. Juan and Manuel were up and ready for the fishing and headed out toward the inside of the Golden Gate Bank area on the Pacific side. The water has been just a bit cooler there and there have been Striped Marlin and Dorado scattered everywhere. Right off the bat at 8 am they had all four lines hook up with small Sailfish, and ended up getting two of them to the boat for tagging and releases. Later on Ed fought a Striped Marlin to the boat for another tag and release and Paula watched while he enjoyed the fight. There were Dorado in the area also and they ended up with four of them in the fish box.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR OCTOBER 27, 2004
Ed and Paula were out again and it was almost a repeat of the first day of fishing except there were no Sailfish today. Ed fought a Marlin to the boat for a good tag and release and they got into some Dorado again, boating a few nice ones and releasing some small fish. Ed really liked the idea of fishing every other day; it gave him a chance to rest up between the fish!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR OCTOBER 28, 2004
Aaron and Jerry fished with Manuel and Mauricio today (Juan took the day off). Heading up the Pacific side once again, they were the second boat to a dead Seal found floating in the water about three miles off shore inside the Golden Gate Bank. Being the second boat meant that they had the best shot and all the Dorado the dead Seal had attracted and they had a blast, boating 8 big Dorado, all between 25 and 40 pounds. They lost several others after fighting them for a while, and they had one fish just jump off after taking a live bait. When they finally left the Seal, there were over thirty boats trying to work the area, and the ones that arrived late had no luck at all. A Marlin appeared during the trip and struck twice at the lures but did not hook up, and they tossed bait at another fish found tailing, but the fish would not eat. A Wahoo struck a trolled lure and took off with the hooks, lure and some leader after cutting through the monofilament leader almost at the strike. Good fishing and great action added up for a really fine trip. Thanks guys, and we hope you decide to do it again on Saturday.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR OCTOBER 29, 2004
Rob Powers and his buddy Craig fished with us for the first of two days booked. They will be fishing again on Sunday. They really had a blast as Juan and Manuel were able to get them into some steady action with Dorado and Yellowfin Tuna. Fishing 20 miles up on the Pacific side they were almost the only boat in the area. In the morning they had gotten some Sardinas for bait and while in the area to the north they saw some boils from Tuna feeding. Chumming with the Sardinas they were able to get them to come to the boat and ended up with five of them, between 10 and 20 pounds in size. The action continued as Dorado came into the area as well and while not all the fish were large ones they were able to pick and choose the ones they kept. They ended up with 8 male Dorado between 15 and 40 pounds in the fish box and released five smaller female fish. A good time was had and now Craig needs to go out and buy a cooler as Rob’s will be filled up! Let’s hope the action continues on Sunday!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR OCTOBER 31, 2004
The second day of fishing for Rob and Craig ended up early as the cooler was full and they were tired of pulling in the fish! Manuel and Mauricio headed back to the same area that has been producing so well for them, but without Sardinas. They got into the Dorado though, and had triple hook ups three different times. With there being so many fish around they were able to be pretty picky and selective about the ones they kept, and ended up with 10 fish over 20 pounds and only had two that were in that 8-10 pound class (they kept them because they were badly hurt). They released 8 smaller fish. Rob had purchased a Marauder at a local tackle store for use today as he wanted to catch a Wahoo. With the lure in the water less than 30 minutes they had a hook up with a #25 one! Great fishing and a good day on the water, they were back at the Marina by 12:30. Thanks guys, we are so glad you had a good time with us! We look forward to seeing you again next year!
