“FLY HOOKER” WEEKLY FISH COUNT
Dorado 3@yellowfin Tuna 20@
Wahoo 1@ 40 lbs
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 29 JULY, 2003
Steve Zozaya and his 14 year old son Steven are here from Phoenix, Arizona for a few days of
sportfishing. Steve has catching a billfish, preferably a Blue Marlin, as his goal and Steven wants
to catch a Shark and then fish that he hasn’t caught before. They will be fishing today, taking one
day off, then fishing Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Today Juan and Manuel took them around
22 miles to the south, where they were able to get into some nice sized, 30-35 pound Yellowfin
Tuna. Steve was almost able to fulfill his wish as they came up on the fish as a nice Marlin
grabbed a Tuna feather and pulled line for a few moments. It was on the bridge rod and by the
time it was handed down the fish was gone. They proceeded to catch around eight nice
Yellowfin, the fish hooking up steadily, one here, one there, and an occasional double strike. The
action kept them busy enough that they did not have time to eat their lunch! The day ended with
plenty of fish in the box and high expectations for Thursday.
“FLY HOOKER” DAILY FISH REPORT FOR 30 JULY, 2003
Today is Aaron Sanders second day fishing with us and his wife and son decided that they
would accompany him one more time. I think they are glad they did because the action was much
better than they had last Sunday. Juan and Manuel headed to the south again and found the
Porpoise. They were able to get four Yellowfin to the boat and in the fish box, as well as four
Bonita. While in the area they tossed bait to five Striped Marlin they saw on the surface, but the
marlin went down, each and every one of them showing no interest in the live baits. Aaron was
also very happy to get a Wahoo in the boat, they lost one lure to a Wahoo as well. A good day
on the water with plenty of fillets to take home and no one got sick! Thanks Aaron, we are glad
this trip worked out for you and perhaps next time one of the Marlin will be hungry!
“FLY HOOKER” DAILY FISH REPORT FOR JULY 31, 2003
On this, the second day of fishing for Steve and Steven Zozaya, Juan and Manuel went back to
the same area where the fish have been showing, but while they were able to get a few more
(four) Yellowfin, enough to fill the cooler Steve bought, they were not able to find a Marlin. I
hope they have better luck tomorrow! The water was nice and they had a good time non the less.
“FLY HOOKER” DAILY FISH REPORT FOR AUGUST 1, 2003
This, the third day of fishing for Steve and Steven, was a blowout. They focused on Marlin
only, having enough Tuna already, and they pulled lures all day, hoping for a big girl to come into
the pattern and hookup, and if that was not going to work, at least spot a Striped Marlin to toss
bait at. Well, nothing remotely like either of those two scenarios happened and toward the
halfway point they decided to try and get a tuna or two to use as live bait. It was too late in the
day and there were no Tuna to be found, as a matter of fact, very few fish were caught today by
anyone. The day ended up being a boat ride. They have decided that tomorrow they will get a
few Tuna or Bonita early and try live baiting them, perhaps they will have better luck.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR AUGUST 2, 2003
Following their plan, Juan and Manuel got Steve and Steven out to the Tuna grounds this
moring and were able to get a few fish in the boat. It took a while to get ones the right size that
were healthy enough after the fight to use as live bait, but they ended up putting one Yellowfin
down on the planer and one Bonita on the surface. No action on these baits either and everyone
is getting frustrated. At least there was some action with the Tuna and I think they ended up with
around 8 of them. When they returned to the dock Steve asked if we were booked for tomorrow
and since we were not, he has decided to give it one more shot. I get to go along and after
talking with another Captain and looking at the sea surface temperature charts, we decided to go
the Golden Gate Banks tomorrow. I am crossing all my fingers!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR AUGUST 3, 2003
Steve, Steven, myself, Juan and Juan had a hour and a half cruise out toward the Golden Gate
Bank this morning. This was chosen as a target based upon information received from another
Captain that a private yacht had gotten four out of twelve Striped Marlin they had baited while
fishing the southern edge of the Bank. Juan and Juan started fishing 6 miles before the southern
edge, preferring to start early just in case the fish may have moved south, that way they would not
over-run them. The water was off color however, a muddy green. It stayed that way all the way
to the northern edge of the bank, and then it started to lighten up a bit. The only sign of life we
saw was a couple of shark bouys (no Dorado under them) and a Seal sleeping on the surface. We
turned to the southwest in hope of getting into blue water and not until we were several miles to
the northeast of the Jaime banks did the water start to clear up. Around 12:30 we saw a Striped
Marlin on the surface but after trying to toss bait at it twice with no interest shown by the fish, it
went down. That was the excitement for the day for Steve and myself, Steven saw Turtles and
just missed seeing a big Manta ray. Steve and I thought that perhaps the sacrifice of a first born
male child may have appeased the Marlin gods and gotten him hooked up, but the first born was
way too smart and fast for that! At least we tried somewhere different today, and it might have
worked out very well for us. Hopefully Steve will get his Marlin on his next trip! Thanks guys!
