Tip&Trick Description 1:
I just returned from a fishing trip on the Fin Fever out of Newport Beach, California and was I impressed with what they used to catch the tunas! We used Yozuri Hydromagnums in the to troll for the albacore tunas. I am telling you these were the hottest lures I have seen in a long time! They removed the front treble hook from the lures to make removal of the lure easier and faster from the fish. After multiple double and triple hookups I am convinced these are the hottest lures around! I asked to take a photo of the lures so I could get some and thanks to the crew and their hot tricks we caught our limit (all we wanted till we were tired of pulling on the fish!) Great trip with a great group of guys!! Hope this photo helps.......Matt |

“FLY HOOKER” WEEKLY FISH COUNT
1 Sailfish Tagged and Released
15 Yellowfin Tuna
10 Bonita
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR AUGUST 5, 2003
Mark Kaplan and his sons Shawn and Anthony were our anglers aboard the “Fly Hooker”
today. The idea was to catch some big fish on light line, preferably Tuna, but as you may realize
from last weeks fishing with Steve Zozaya and his son Steven, they have been few and far
between for us. Juan and Manuel decided that their best chance was going to be working the
areas offshore of the lighthouse on the Pacific side and it ended up being the right choice, at least
for the number of fish. The action was pretty well non-stop once the fish were found and they got
tired arms working on the 15-20 pound Tunas on the Penn 12T and the Shimano TLD 25’s.
According to the anglers, they ended up with almost 15 Bonito to 15 pounds released (that’s not
counting the ones hooked up and lost) and 7 or 8 Yellowfin to 20 pounds (all kept to eat). The
highlight of the day was Shawn catching, tagging and releasing a Sailfish estimated at 100
pounds! When the boat arrived back at the dock, almost the first words out of Marks mouth
were, “Man, my arms are tired!”. Thanks guys, and congratulations Shawn!
“FLY HOOKER” DAILY FISH REPORT FOR AUGUST 7, 2003
Our Hawaiian buddy Richard (owner of Mission Book Binding, in San Diego) is here for his
fifth year in a row on the “Fly Hooker”, celebrating his birthday with his buddy Dave. Being his
birthday he would really like a birthday present of a big fish! Well, Juan and Manuel tried, and
they were in the right area, but it just did not happen. All the action they had today was a strike
from a Dorado that came off right away and a chance to toss bait to a Striped marlin they found
on the surface. Heck, thats fishing as Richard says, and they guys worked hard for them and they
did have a good time. Every day is different, so they have booked the boat for tomorrow as well!
We’ll keep our fingers crossed for them.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR AUGUST 8, 2003
Wow, we were hoping for different results for today, but we had our fingers crossed for better
than this! Richard and Dave did catch fish today, but there were not many of them that ended up
in the boat, as a matter of fact, they only ended up with a Yellowfin Tuna of about 15 pounds and
a Bonita of about the same. Richard managed to loose a nicer sized Tuna, Dave said that it must
have been at least 1,000 pounds or more (hey, the ones that get away always grow!) but Juan said
that it was more like 40 pounds. Apparently as Juan was going for the leader Richard thought
that he already had it in hand and set down the rod in order to go to the side of the boat to get a
look at the fish. Apparently the slack line resulting from this action allowed the hook to drop out
of the Tuna’s mouth and the fish swam away. Dave also said that Richard allowed a Sailfish to
escape after it had been hooked up and had made three nice jumps. Heck, Richard said that he
was going to release it anyway, and he got to see the fish in action, so there! Thanks guys, we are
glad you had a great time and look forward to seeing you again next August 7th!
“FLY HOOKER” NON FISH REPORT FOR THE NEXT WEEK
We pulled the boat out of the water on the 9th and have scheduled downtime for the next week
as we do some work. We will be changing the shaft logs from the original bronze (lots of
corrosion) to fiberglass, shortening the shafts by a couple of inches, changing the props, putting
bushings on the rudder shafts, cleaning and repainting the bottom paint and changing all the zincs.
If I had the money and the time we would also be repainting the hull and putting in a new deck,
but that will have to be the next project. We should be back in the water on the 15th, early
morning of the 16th at the latest, as we have 24 of the next 30 days booked. Keep your fingers
crossed for us, and we hope to get a chance to see you soon in Cabo!
