“FLY HOOKER” WEEKLY FISH COUNT
Striped Marlin: One tagged and released (#120)
Dorado: Two taken (15-20#)
Yellowfin Tuna: Two taken (10-12#)
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR JULY 1, 2003
Russell Wood and his wife were our anglers on the “Fly Hooker” today and we sure wish the
fishing had been better. They had been waiting a long time for this trip but the weather and water
did not care. The water was a bit choppy and there was not a lot of action from the fish.
Basically, they got skunked. Juan and Manuel tried hard, that is for sure, but sometimes it doesn’t
matter. Sorry Russell, we hope for better fishing next time!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR JULY 2, 2003
Greg and John are repeat clients from San Francisco and they are here on this trip with the
families. This means that they need to return with some fish so everyone believes they went
fishing! They went on a Panga yesterday and got a 20 pound Jack Crevalle and lost a Roosterfish
and are hoping the offshore action will be better. They were originally scheduled for June 30 but
we asked them if they were willing to put that trip off until today in the hope that conditions
would get better. Well, the wind did die down on the evening of the 30th, so conditions have
improved, but who knows about the fishing? Juan and Manuel ended up fishing 25 miles to the
southeast and finally found some fish. Two small football Yellowfin, the largest around 12
pounds. Later on the hooked a very small (about 8 pound) Dorado and held it behind the boat
until friends showed up! Then John and Greg were able to hook up a couple of larger 15 pound
Dorado on their own gear and get them to the boat. Enough fish for the family dinner and a little
action, not bad compared to what has been going on. Also, that made us the top boat on the dock
for the day! Thanks guys, and it was nice of you to invite Tom along for the day, even if all he
did was drink all the beer and eat all your lunch!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR JULY 3, 2003
Rick Anderson, his wife and son were our anglers today, and they were hoping for a big fish for
the son. It seems that they have done quite a bit of offshore fishing, trying it almost everywhere
they have gone on vacation and have yet to hook into something big for him. Well, this was not
the trip that it was going to happen on either. Juan and Manuel tossed bait to one Marlin all day,
that was it, and that fish did not want to eat. Rick’s wife slept most of the day and so did his son.
I wish the fishing was better this week, but I can’t control it. Eventually you guys will find a big
one, and I hope for your sake it’s soon!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR JULY 4, 2003
Happy 4th of July everyone! Today’s group of anglers was a last minute trip, and it is strange
how things work out. Last evening we were listening to the group “Rhydim Forze”, our local
reggae band and met “Maddy” who was walking around with the tip bucket for the group. She
was very nice and we got to talking a bit and when she found out we had a charter boat she said
that she wished that she had met us yesterday, as a group of her friends had already chartered a
boat after going through one of the timeshare tours. Sigh, a day late again! Well, this morning
Juan and Manuel were done working and cleaning on the “Fly Hooker” and were leaving the
Marina at 8:30 when Juan noticed that his brother on the “No Problem” was having a problem. It
turned out that they had blown a hydraulic steering fitting and needed another boat to take their
group out. Not having a trip, Juan volunteered to take them on the “Fly Hooker”. I only
remember two of the guys names, Kevin and Adam, and there were two others as well. Now, I
did not learn any of this until they came in, but Kevin and Adam shared the honors with a tag and
release on a 120 pound Striped Marlin. At least these guys got a fish! Now, it turns out that
these were they guys that “Maddy” had been talking about last night! The group is from Denver
where they are all bartenders, and they know our friends Rod and Karen, who had recommended
the “Fly Hooker” and had given them one of our cards. Unfortunately they left the information at
home so did not know how to contact us. Small world! By the way, on the 2nd, Kevin had
jumped into the swimming pool at the private house they were staying at and had split open his
head from just above the scalp line to the center of his skull, the stitches looked like Frankenstein
stuff, and we joked that the scar would make him look like one of those guys on “Star Trek”! He
still went out today and shared in the catch of the Marlin, and he was the only one to get sick,
probably a bit concussed! Good folks, this group, and they invited Mary and I out to the house
for dinner, but we had already made other plans. Thanks guys, it was great getting to meet you
and we are glad you were able to hook into a “Big One”!
