“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR OCTOBER 19, 2003
Tim and Jill Lawrence shared the “Fly Hooker” today with Tim and Marrissa Kyle.
Tim and Marrissa were looking forward to the trip as this was their first experience on
the Salt water, having some experience fishing inland waters. They wanted a chance
to catch a fish “at least 300 pounds!”. Unfortunately Marrissa was sick as soon as
Manual slowed the boat down after the 90 minute run to the fishing area. There were
some porpoise there and Tun as well and Tim Kyle reeled in a Yellowfin of about 15
pounds and was very happy with his sore arm from that fish. Things were very slow
after that and it was not until there was only a few miles to go before lines needed to
come out of the water that the big fish hit. It was the turn for Tim Lawrence and it was a
Blue Marlin. Tim worked the fish for 30 minutes, getting it to the boat several times only
to have the fish take off on another run. Finally Juan was able to get the leader and as
the fish made another try at a run the leader slipped through his hand and before he
could release it the line slipped through and broke. Well, it counts as a legal catch,
and a good workout for Tim! Thank goodness they got something other than just one
Yellowfin. Thanks guys, sorry Marrissa, the Tuna sure was good grilled last night!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR OCTOBER 21, 22 AND 23, 2003
Tim and Jill fished these days and the fishing was pretty darn slow. Not just for us
though, it was slow for everyone. The pressure brought on the fish and fishermen due
to the tournaments going on was felt, that’s for sure! Well, on the 21st, Jill got a Striped
Marlin and Tim got a Dorado, they worked an area way out to the west, around the
Jaime Banks, but did not get any fish until they were almost home. On the 22nd they
went out to the 1150 area. The water was too warm, but very blue, and they worked a
pod of porpoise they found on the way back. They could see the Tuna jumping but
could not get bit no matter what they tried. On the 23rd they worked the Pacific coast
close to shore and had a nice boat ride, not even spotting a fish. Sorry guys, we really
enjoyed your company and hope to see you here again soon!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 25 OCTOBER, 2003
Bob Deeter was our angler today. His wife Paula was supposed to go along but
elected to stay at the resort today. Bob will be fishing the next two days with us as well.
He really wanted to get some eating fish so Juan and Manuel worked Tuna about 6
miles off the coast on the Pacific side but could not get a bite,. They saw one other
boat hook up but that was all. Whole trolling live bait in the porpoise they got bit by a
Striped Marlin and Bob fought the fish for 20 minutes before the line broke. On the way
back in they had a Blue Marlin strike one of the lures twice but it did not hook up. Also,
they did get to fight another Striped Marlin that was tagged then released and after
taking the lines out of the water and cruising in, Manuel spotted another fish that Bob
was able to get to the boat for a tag and release after a 15 minute fight. Great fishing,
and I am going tomorrow!
