WEEKLY FISH COUNT
STRIPED MARLIN: TWO FISH KEPT (#110, #120)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: FOUR FISH KEPT (#50 )
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 22 FEBRUARY, 2004
Norm Sugg, Gilbert and Paul fished for the last day of their scheduled days today.
Benny and Mike had to leave today so could not go. Manuel and Philipe headed out
just 7 miles to the west when they got into the Tuna, and they were nice fish! By 8:30
they were done catching four fish that averaged #60 and were ready to go after a
Marlin, the fishbox was full! They were able to find one Marlin on the surface but it was
not interested in the lures or the live bait so they came in with just Tuna flags flying, but
they were very happy anyway! Thanks guys, we are glad you had a good time and
hope the weather is good when you get back to Albuquerque!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 26 FEBRUARY, 2004
We were part of an 8 boat charter today as an insurance agency treated their
employees to fishing and golf. The V.P. and three others were aboard the “Fly Hooker”
and with a large group like this it is often a late start. Out at 8 am, they needed to be
back at 2pm for other events. There was a wager for the largest fish and our group
came in second with a Striped Marlin estimated at #110. The pres. had one estimated
at #140. Guess we could have fudged it a bit, but letting the president win is a good
idea, yes? The fishing was slow for us as Manuel took the boat toward the 1150 spot
hoping to get into the Tuna there. With no action after three hours the guys said turn
around and go back as they would rather be out golfing anyway. The Marlin came on
the return trip. Of the other boats, the Presidents boat caught one Marlin, another boat
caught one Dorado, one boat caught a Tuna and a Dorado and five giant squid, one
boat got skunked and one boat caught a few giant squid and baited a Swordfish.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR FEBRUARY 27, 2004
Steve and JoAnne Coutrakis are fishing with us again and brought along another
couple for this trip. The target was Marlin, Dorado and Wahoo, Steve said that they
were not interested in Tuna. Well, there was a good Tuna bite going on 14 miles to the
south, and if the Tuna were there, then there was also bait, so Manuel and Philipe went
to the area and worked outside the schools. No Dorado came to the lures, but they did
get one Striped Marlin hooked up and ended up boating the fish. After watching other
boats hooking up to Tuna for a few hours, some of the fish in the 60 to 100 pound
range, they decided that Tuna would be all right. Unfortunately by the time they
decided this, the bite had stopped. They ended the day with one Marlin. JoAnne,
thanks for the Dolmades, they were great!!!! Until next week, Tight Lines!
