Looking for the Excalibur (Bill Dance signature series) Fat Free Fry in Crawfish. The lure is 2' long and the body is practicly see thru (with the exception for where the crawfish design and color has been airbrushed) I would like to purchase as many as you have. I will take old, new, it doesn't matter. This is all my boyfriend fishes with and he is almost out of these.
Thanks

WEEKLY FISH COUNT

YELLOWFIN TUNA: TWO FISH KEPT (#5, #85)
DORADO: ONE FISH KEPT ( #25)
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 11 MAY, 2004
Sanga, Charlie and Todd fished with us today. This is the first time Todd has fished with us and tomorrow it will be Sanga, Charlie and Christy with Todd coming back on Friday. Juan and Manuel took off to the Pacific side today and the water was a bit bouncy. Around the San Jaime area they found some small pieces of Kelp and were able to get some Dorado interested, but not enough so that they would eat. A couple of Striped Marlin were found as well and they were able to get Todd hooked up to his first Marlin ever! Sanga was still waiting for the Marlin to be pulled from the water in order to get a picture of it and that never happened, as Juan released the fish along the side of the boat. They came in flying a Marlin and a release flag, and with one happy guy!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 12 MAY, 2004
Sanga, Charlie and Christy today, and it ended up the Christy caught the fish that Todd had been hoping for! Charlie wanted some fish to be smoked and take home. He won’t kill a Marlin and for that I thank him, but anything else would do. Juan and Manuel returned tot eh Pacific side and worked the same area as yesterday hoping to get into the Dorado again. Instead they found a school of Yellowfin feeding hard. Just because they are feeding it does not mean they are willing to bite lures! These fish were chasing squid, and Juan was almost able to net a few that got chased under the boat. They worked the school hard for two hours and finally were able to get a double strike on small red feathers. Charlie got the first fish to the boat in just a few minutes, it was the easy one as it was small, about 5 pounds. Christy’s fish took a while longer, almost 25 minutes, and Juan estimated it at between #80 and #90, a very nice fish that produced some great fillets!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 13 MAY, 2004
Today we had three guys aboard the boat, Derrick, Eric and Rick. They were part of a larger group that totaled three boats. It was Juan’s day off so Manuel had his friend Mauricio fishing as deckhand. Manuel took off toward the Gorda Banks today and I guess it was the right choice. They did not see a lot offish, but everything they found bit! They ended the day releasing one Striped Marlin, having another one die on them and getting one 25 pound Dorado in the boat. Everyone got to catch a fish and the other boats did as well! A great day of fishing!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 14 MAY, 2004
It was Sanga, Charlie and Todd again today, and Juana and Manuel went up the Sea of Cortez toward the Gorda Banks one more time. More fish were seen today, and they had a few strikes that did not hook up, but they were able to get one Striped Marlin to the boat for a release! Thanks guys, we look forward to your coming to Cabo again!
