�FLY HOOKER FISH REPORT FOR 16 DECEMBER, 2002
Larry and Trey Quinn are out again today, this
time by themselves. Still looking for a Marlin
for Trey�s birthday present! Juan and Manuel take
the �Fly Hooker� out 12 miles towards the
San Jaime Banks. The water was a little choppy at
first then laid down and finally they got into
some fish. Larry was the coach and cheerleader for
Trey when he hooked up at 9:30 to a Sailfish
estimated at 100 pounds. Live bait that was slow
trolled fooled the fish and it took Trey about
15-20 minutes on #40 test line to get the fish to
the boat where it was photographed, tagged and
released. Finally a Billfish, even if it was not a
Marlin! About an hour later he hooked into two
Dorado, one between 15 and 20 pounds and the other
between 25 and 30 pounds. Again on #40
test line and live bait, he made pretty short work
of the smaller fish and was a bit surprised how
well the larger fish fought. All in all a good day
with a Billfish for Trey and fillets for dinner and
to take home! Thanks guys, and Trey, we hope you
have a fine birthday!
�FLY HOOKER� FISH REPORT FOR 17 DECEMBER, 2002
Today was a last minute trip and we only had
one client aboard the boat. Lou, from New
York, had decided to try to get something on the
end of his line today. He has fished the
mainland of Mexico quite a few times and also
offshore back home but this was his first time in
Cabo. Unfortunately the water had started to get
rough as the wind picked up last night and it
was not a comfortable trip. Not only that but the
fishing was not too good for him today either.
Juan and Manuel were able to find two Striped
Marlin on the surface but were not able to get
either one of them interested in eating a live
bait. They did have a strike on a lure that did
not
hook up, and while nobody saw the fish, Manuel said
that he thought it was a Marlin. Thanks for
trying Lou, and I hope you have better luck when
you come back next year!
�FLY HOOKER� FISH REPORT FOR 18 DECEMBER, 2002
Returning client Gene McElvaney has booked the
�Fly Hooker� for today and the 21st in the
hope of getting his wife Janet, daughter Amy and
son Kyle hooked up to some fish. The water
was very rough on the Pacific side but that is
where the fish have been so Juan and Manuel tried
to get out to the area. With the water that rough
everyone ended up getting sick and Gene asked
to return to the Marina. On the way back, after
making the turn, they hooked up to a couple of
Dorado and lost another one. They ended up with a
few fillets to start filling the cooler with and
we all have our fingers crossed that the wind lies
down in the next day or two!
�FLY HOOKER� MAINTENANCE REPORT FOR 20 DECEMBER,
2002
During the trip on the 18th the rough water had
lifted the hull of the boat out of the water
where the port engine saltwater pickup was at and
caused a 30 second airlock. This was long
enough to damage the saltwater pump. It was still
working but with severely reduced flow. The
lack of lubrication provided by the saltwater
caused the impeller to stick to the large washer
and
damaged the seal and the housing of the pump.
Today the housing was replaced and the pump
rebuilt, installed and checked.
�FLY HOOKER� FISH REPORT FOR 21 DECEMBER, 2002
Unfortunately we had more problems this
morning and had to get another boat for Gene,
Janet, Amy and Kyle McElvaney. Our fuel pump on
the starboard engine took a dump on us and
we were not able to get it fixed until late in the
afternoon. I know that Gene was hoping for
calmer water today and more fish. Unfortunately we
missed meeting them when they returned but
I did not see any flags flying from the outriggers
of the boat they went on. I tried calling them at
the hotel but as always here in Cabo, it was
impossible to reach them through the front desk. I
can only hope that they had a good time and no one
got sick today. Gene, we will be sending you
an e-mail to see how you did. Thanks for being
understanding about the mechanical problems!
Felize Navidad from George, Mary, Juan and Manuel,
the crew of the �Fly Hooker�
