Tip&Trick Description 1:
MEAT STOCK CUBE CHEMICAL LURE
This started off by being an applied science project in school linked to fishing for predatory species. I am happy for anyone to try it out. It takes some preparation but is worth the experiment. You can use it for river, lake or sea fishing from a bank, beach, pier or boat. Use the strongest line you have for dragging. Have a camera to get evidence of your catch.
First get your meat stock cubes – the red varieties are the best imitation of the fluids that leak from wounded prey. They are much cheaper if bought in the large boxes and cost even less if you can get them put on someone else’s shopping list.
You also need a pair of tights or stockings so ask nicely – particularly if someone is wearing them at the time!
Cut the tights/stockings up into 10cm (4in) squares and put them onto a flat surface.
Take the foil wrapping off of each stock cube being careful not to crumble it and place one centrally onto each square of the tights/stockings.
Tie the four corners of the material together into a firm knot – a test of your dexterity – you may need to use bigger squares at first and trim them up afterwards.
Then tie a length of line inside the knot of each lure bag leaving plenty of spare to attach to the eye on your lure. Store your bags in a waterproof and crushproof container.
When you are ready to fish attach a bag to the eye of your lure making sure that you tie the knot so that a used bag can be easily removed from the eye but cannot slip off during movement underwater. A pair of fine scissors will useful to do the cutting during bag changing. Dispose of used bags and line responsibly please – not into the water or onto the site.
Keep safe – wear a lifejacket if you are fishing on or by deep water. Keep yourself warm and waterproof. Do not fish on your own – it is safer with others. Let someone know where you are going and have a means of contacting him or her.

“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR JANUARY 13, 2005
Today I had a solo angler on the 50’ boat. Paulo (his real name is impossible for me to spell) is from Italy and has a boat there, but has never fished before. He wanted a nice boat to fish from for his first experience and had the money to spend. He had one more day left of his month long Mexican vacation so decided to give the fishing a chance. As the owner of a fourth generation wine bottle making company he has had and will continue to have a chance to fish all over the world if he likes the experience. Well, he had a great time even though the fishing was slow by our standards. We started the fishing just off the light house on the Pacific side and the lines were not in the water even 5 minutes before a Dorado came slicing through the water at the short rigger lure. Hookup! Paulo got in the chair and started to horse the fish in. I quickly gave him a few pointers on technique and after about 15 minutes he got the #25 Dorado to the side of the boat. One fish in the box and it was a great way to start the day! Things slowed down from there. There were Porpoise out at 16 miles so we worked our way out, hoping to get into some Yellowfin, but there were so many boats working them that the fish had gone down and the Porpoise had scattered. Eventually we found a small piece of Styrofoam floating on the water with about five feet of line attached to it. Our first pass produced a small Yellowfin of about 6 pounds and then we worked it with live bait and jigs. Nada. No other fish were home on the debris so we continued working back toward the shore. We got a call on the cell phone about a concentration of Marlin about 8 miles off of Los Arcos and worked our way to the area. Once we got there we switched over to bait, pulling two live Mackerel from the flat lines, one rigged Ballyhoo from the short rigger and the whisky line and one rigged squid from the long rigger. We saw one other boat hook up and of course everyone was running toward and Frigate the started to dive. Paulo informed me that he had a tennis lesson at 3 PM so we pulled lines and ran in. Paulo was happy with his first experience fishing and said that he would definitely do it again! Thanks Paulo, we hope to see you again one day!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR JANUARY 15, 2005
Today we had Tom, his wife Dawn and their friend John out fishing. They are friends of a friend and they had a great time. They started off fishing right outside of the light house on the Pacific side and worked their way out to the south side of the Jaime Banks. On the way out they had a Marlin spotted on the surface and were able to get it to eat a live bait. It did not take too long before the fish was brought to the side of the boat for pictures and then released. A little while later they were able to find some Porpoise that were feeding and there were Tuna with them. The bite was not red hot, but the fish were nice size with the average at 30 pounds. They ended up getting six of them in the fish box, and spent quite a while working the last one hooked up. The Captain and crew estimated its weight at between 80 and 100 pounds, but it pulled the hook just before the mate was able to grab the leader. Oh well, that’s fishing! They ended the day with some excellent fillets and great action to remember it by! Good going guys, we hope you get to do it again!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR JANUARY 16, 2005
Terrance Fails fished with us again today after returning from his long-range diving trip to the Socorro Islands. He fished on the 5th and wanted Marlin but caught 4 nice Dorado. Today he fished on the same boat and they started up on the Pacific side about 8 miles, drifting live bait hoping a Marlin would show up. The area had been producing Marlin on a fairly regular basis but after several hours with no bite, or any signs of fish, they received a call on the radio. A friend of the Captain had found Frigate birds working a group of Marlin about 8 miles farther north so they picked up the lines and went there. Of course, by the time they arrived there were a lot of boats in the area. It’s impossible to keep a radio communication secret down here and everyone close had pulled lines and run to the area. Terrance had one shot at a Marlin as they had one pick up a live bait and run with it. He said the fish was only on for about five seconds and then they lost it. Sigh. It happens a lot with Marlin. Anyway, that was it for the day, but Terrance is trying again tomorrow, we hope he has better luck then! Until next week, Tight Lines!
