“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR JUNE 23, 2004
Today was supposed to be another share trip on the “Fly Hooker”, but one side of the share failed to show up this morning. That meant that Jody Dean got the boat to himself for the day! Lucky him, as he had a great time fishing with Juan and Manuel. Lots and lots of Marlin were seen all over the place, and the farthest they got from the Marina was about 10 miles, and most of the fish were closer than that. Jody did very well on the fish and managed to get one to the boat for a successful tag and release, and another fish to the boat that was bleeding badly from the gills. There were five other fish that tried to eat either the bait of the lures, plus all the fish they saw that were not interested. Jody said after the trip that he had better work out before trying this again next year!. I hope you do as well next time you come down, and hope that Juan and Manuel get a chance to show you one more time why this is such a favorite fishing destination! Until then, Tight Lines!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 26 JUNE, 2004
We were part of an eight boat arrangement today. A corporate group booked these boats to have a little tournament, they had a golf thing the other day. This is the second year that we have been involved, and the teams of three persons each fish for points, with different species having limits on numbers and each fish being worth so many points. The team on our boat decided that Roosterfish were the highest points per fish and that they should go for them. Well, Juan and Manuel worked the coast between the Chileno area up to La Laguna at Punta Gorda and had not even one strike. Trolling back, running just a little offshore, they were lucky enough to get one Dorado of around 12 pounds. Teams that went for what was out there did much better, and most of the fish were on the Pacific side. Top boat took the winnings with three Marlin, a Sailfish, two Dorado and a Yellowfin. One boat got skunked, the others had varied results but got a few fish each.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 27 JUNE, 2004
We had two couples on the “Fly Hooker” today who booked yesterday from their hotel. We were off at 6:45 this morning and Juan headed out and put the lines in the water at 6 miles. We caught three football Yellowfin Tuna before reaching a pod of Porpoise that already had 10 boats on it. Apparently the first two boats there caught fish to #60. We hooked up two that were a little bigger than footballs, around #20, but I managed to farm them both at the back of the boat. We turned in towards the Punta Ballena and about 5 miles out caught another Yellowfin about #10 then spotted a Marlin on the Surface. The Marlin went down right away. An hour later we had a Dorado try and eat an outrigger lure but it came off as soon as the rod was pulled from the rod holder. As we were pulling lines right in front of the arch, not even 100 yards off it, another Yellowfin hit, the biggest of the day and it was about 15 pounds. We ended up with 6 Yellowfin and Me farming two nicer ones, one Dorado coming off and tossing bait at one Marlin. The water was very nice and the weather was great! Now, next trip we will stay close to shore and go for the Dorado and Marlin!
