“FLY HOOKER” WEEKLY FISH COUNT
2 Blue Marlin released (#200, #200)
2 Striped Marlin released (#120, #100)
10 Yellowfin Tuna (#15-#35)
1 Bruiser Y.T. unintentionaly released (#180 est.)
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR AUGUST 19, 2003
Joe A., Joe B., Don and Rich are fishing again today, will take a day off tomorrow and then
fish again on Thursday and Friday. If you read last weeks dailys, you may remember that Joe A.
caught his Blue Marlin on Sunday. Today Juan and Manuel went to the same area, just a little
further out than we had gone on Sunday, and worked the area hard. They saw several Striped
Marlin in the morning but could not get any of them to bite. Around mid morning they found a
school of Tuna and caught one small Yellowfin and a Skipjack. Juan rigged the Skipjack as a live
bait and it was only out in the water for about 10 minutes before a Blue Marlin, estimated at
#200, came up and inhaled the bait. The fight took around 40 minutes and it was Don (Rico) who
put the pressure on the fish this time. This fish did everything that Joe A.’s fish did not, lots of
jumping all over the place, plenty of video proof on this one! Juan was able to tag the fish and
make a successful release. That was it for the day. Two days gone, two Marlin, two days to go
and two Marlin to go!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR AUGUST 20, 2003
Today we have Devon Boatman and his girlfriend Jennifer fishing on the “Fly Hooker” and
they will be fishing on Saturday as well. Devon would love to catch a Marlin but is perfectly
willing to get anything to fight. Jennifer does not have much experience so she is interested in
seeing what it is about. Well, she ended up thinking that it (Marlin fishing) is pretty boring. Lots
of water was covered today and it was not until the tail end of the trip that the guys were finally
able to get a fish to hook up. Devon was able to put the rod to the fish and had it alongside the
boat for the tag placement within 17 minutes! A good tag and release and Devon had the fish he
had been dreaming about, again a Blue Marlin estimated at #200. Jennifer said it was great
watching the fight, but she wanted more action on Saturday, and now that Devon had his Marlin,
maybe they could try for Tuna on Saturday, and maybe change the full day trip to a half day?
Well, we will try and see if the Tuna move in range of a half day trip. Keep you fingers crossed!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 21 AUGUST, 2003
Joe A., Joe B., Don and Rich are aboard for the third day booked with us. Yesterday was
supposed to be a day off for them, but as they were sitting out on their patio watching the boats
leaving in the morning, Joe B. said “Hey, you know, we should be out there fishing” and off they
went to book a boat. I won’t mention the fleet name or boat name, but it was a different trip than
the ones they have had with us. Neither the Captain or Mate spoke English, and while Joe B. got
to fight a #200 Blue, the mate and Captain would not release the fish and instead, gaffed and
clubbed it and brought it into the boat. The bilge switch was not working so they had to get the
deck hatch open every 30 minutes and pump out the water, and on the way in the transmission
started to slip and the Captain had to lower the speed they were cruising at. They guys let us
know that they much preferred fishing on the “Fly Hooker”! Anyway, they were off to an early
start this morning and instead of going out to the Pacific side as they had been doing, Manuel
pointed the bow of the boat to the East and they cruised for almost an hour, getting to an area 5
miles past the 95 spot. When Manuel saw porpoise the slowed down and out went the lures.
They were the first boat to the fish and quickly proceeded to get 9 Yellowfin Tuna, all between 15
and 30 pounds. Then a big one hit! Joe A. fought this fish, which struck a Hi-5 lure in
Black/Green, for 30 minutes before they got color. Now the next part of this is on video
(actually, all of it is). Juan has two stick gaffs set up (he said Manuel told him not to use the
flying gaff) and as the fish came to the side of the boat he grabbed the leader, pulled it closer and
took the first shot he could at the fish. The gaff went into the fish in the belly area and the fish
took off. Juan lost his grip on the gaff and lunged over for it and ended up in the water, holding
on to the swim platform. The fish went down and back bringing the tight line (Joe forgot to back
off the drag when Juan grabbed the leader) across the bait bag frame and then, “pop” went the
line. Based on what Juan said, the guys said and the video, that Tuna would have been close to
the #200 mark, we placed it at a conservative #185 . Joe said the fight was great and he was just
glad that Juan did not get hurt! That was it for the Tuna and they went in search of a Marlin for
Rich, but did not even see one for the rest of the day. Ok, tomorrow is another day, and it is Rich
who will get to fight the big one!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR AUGUST 22, 2003
This is the last day of fishing for Joe A., Joe B., Don and Rich, and Rich has to get his Marlin
today, I mean he has to! Juan and Manuel go back to the Pacific side of the Cape and continued
to work the are off the Lighthouse. I was worried when Juan called at almost 10AM and said that
they had only seen one Striped Marlin so far. Thank goodness their luck held out. As has been
the case every day except yesterday, they hooked into fish between 10AM and the end of the trip.
Rich got his fish when a tailing Striped Marlin was spotted and Juan tossed a bait. This fish was
hungry and ate the bait right away! What a change from the attitude of the Striped Marlin they
had seen so far this week! It was a battle but Rich was able to get his fish to the boat eventually
and Don was able to get some great video of the jumping Marlin and the sweating Rich! While
this fish was being fought they spotted two other Striped Marlin swimming around. I am not sure
exactly when the second Marlin of the day was caught, it may have been right afterward, but Don
go the rod and fought the fish. Another good battle and they guys ended up with four Marlin for
four days on our boat, all tagged and released, plus one fish killed on another boat. Oh yeah, lets
not forget the great Tuna action yesterday. A good trip all the way around! Thanks guys, we
look forward to a chance to have you fish the “Fly Hooker” again.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR AUGUST 23, 2003
We were supposed to have Devon Boatman fishing the “Fly Hooker” for his second day today
and his girlfriend Jennifer was going to stay in town and shop because he met Lange, from the
Venice, LA area at the hotel and they decided to share the boat. Well, that was the idea anyway.
Mother nature and the new Port Captain had other things to say about it. The Captain shut down
the port at 6 AM due to the close approach of what has turned out to be Tropical Storm Ignacio,
but last night was just Tropical Depression #9E. It looks like we are going to be shut down
through at least Sunday, hopefully no longer, as the center of the storm is supposed to have
landfall sometime tomorrow morning. Right now the winds 70 miles from the center are
supposed to be at 45 MPH but it is 118 miles away to the southeast, moving northwest at 6 knots
and increasing in strength slowly. It is expected to increase to strong Tropical Storm strength
before landfall and we are expecting 6-12 inches of rain. Shades of Hurricane Juliet! At least our
winds wont be very strong, but that sure is a lot of rain for the desert. The storm is small enough
that we should be back in business by Monday (and our fingers are crossed)! Check in next week
to see how things turned out, as we are booked every day for the next two weeks (bad timing for
a storm).
