| Fishing is an ancient practice that dates back to at least the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic period about 40,000 years ago. Isotopic analysis of the remains of Tianyuan man, a 40,000-year-old modern human from eastern Asia, has shown that he regularly consumed freshwater fish. |

FLY HOOKER FISH REPORT FOR OCTOBER 5, 2003
Greg, Vance and Patty were aboard the Fly Hooker today and were glad to see
Juan again. I got to go along as it was Manuels day off and we were not sure of being
able to pick up a deck hand this morning. We finally did, on the way out of the Marina
and we did all right as Rigo is a pretty good guy and is normally right on top of things.
Juan decided that our best chance was south of the Arch so off we went. We cruised
for about 45 minutes before Juan started spotting debris in the water, then the dorsal
fin of a Striped Marlin. I pinned on a live Caballito and dropped it back as we drifted to
a stop. After a very long wait with no pick-up I started to reel the bait in and got it half
way to the boat when it got bit. I must not have given the Marlin long enough because
when I set the hook I could feel it pull out of the bait, but not into the Marlin! The leader
was chafed up so we were sure what had taken the bait. We worked the debris line,
lots of small stuff and a few occasional logs, and finally went further south, looking for
action. At a distance of 21 miles we came across another debris line, this one with a lot
of big stuff in it. A few seconds after having the port rigger clip release because of a
branch that was snagged, we had the center, long line go off. This one was no snag!
Vance fought the fish stand-up and after a little while Rigo was able to sink the gaff into
a very nice Bull Dorado of around 35 pounds. We drifted a live bait back as the fish
was being fought but could not get another pick-up. Back to trolling and then we
spotted Porpoise, actually Spinner Dolphin. We could see Tuna breaking water and
tried everything we had and could not get looked at. Really frustrating! We worked
them for quite a while and then started the trip home. At least we had not gotten
skunked, a lot of boats had. Let us hope that the fishing picks up on Tuesday and
Thursday!
FLY HOOKER FISH REPORT FOR OCTOBER 6, 2003
Ed and Jennifer Buccigross are fishing with us today and Wednesday. They are
experienced anglers and have fished Cabo before. Unfortunately there was no good
live bait available this morning so the entire days effort was done on lures. Juan said
that Manuel decided to try the San Jaime Banks today and that is where they found the
fish. One nice Dorado and six Yellowfin Tuna were the catch for the day, but Ed said
that there were Porpoise by the thousands and Tuna jumping everywhere, they were
just hard to catch. Not having any live bait also made it hard to get a good shot at the
two Striped Marlin that they spotted on the surface. Hopefully there will be live bait the
rest of the week! Ed and Jennifer had a great time and were nice to say that Juan and
Manuel were without a doubt the best crew they had ever fished with. Lets hope it
stays that way! Thanks guys, and we shall keep our fingers crossed for Wednesdays
fishing!
FLY HOOKER FISH REPORT FOR 07 OCTOBER, 2003
Today we had Don Cartner and his girlfriend June, Vance and Patty on the Fly
Hooker with Juan and Manuel. There was a late start due to having a problem with the
transmission coupling for the starboard engine, but they were on their way by 8 AM.
No live bait again and its too bad because there was a chance to toss bait to at least
two Striped Marlin during the trip. One of them showed an interest in the lures but
would not bite and the other went down right away. Don did hook up to a very nice
Wahoo late into the trip, the fish was around 70 pounds. Sure did make a nice load of
fillets! They were also able to get two of three Dorado that bit into the boat. That was it
for the day, but at least there were fish.
FLY HOOKER FISH REPORT FOR 10 OCTOBER, 2003
Nick and Carol Fedorka were our anglers on the Fly Hooker today and Nick just
celebrated his 50th birthday. His birthday present was supposed to be a Marlin so
Juan and Manuel did their best to make it a good trip. Guess what, sometimes good
things happen to good people! Carol was along for the boat ride and the sun, plus she
was forced into the role of official photographer, getting proof of the fish. Only two
Marlin gave Nick a workout, one of them was an hour and a half fight with a Blue
estimated at #300, tagged and released. The other fish was a Striped Marlin estimated
at #120, also tagged and released. To top it off he caught and kept a nice 25 pound
Dorado, perfect for dinner! It just doesnt get any better than this folks! Thanks Nick,
we are glad it worked out!
FLY HOOKER FISH REPORT FOR 11 OCTOBER, 2003
Kurt Kennery, Richard Shannon and Mike Sherer were the anglers on the Fly
Hooker today, and they really wanted to get something to eat, but more importantly
they wanted some action. Juan and Manual went to the same area they had taken Nick
and Carol yesterday but the action was not as great. The started off the morning with a
Striped Marlin hot on one of the lures, but the fish would not eat it, and when Manual
dropped back a live bait the fish showed no interest in it, who can figure them out? A
little later on they were lucky and hooked up a Pacific Sailfish that they were able to tag
and release after a short fight. Much later on they had another shot at a Striped Marlin,
but this fish was a bit lazy, not hungry, and no action resulted. No strikes from Dorado,
Wahoo or Tuna were to be found on this trip. Sorry about that guys, we hope that next
time the food fish action is red hot!
