Aug 8, 2004; 05:23AM - Stowage of StrikeBack Fishing Lure Retrievers

Tip&Trick Description 1:
Simple Stowage of StrikeBack Fishing Lure Retriever for more deck Space.
Most pole type lure retrievers are thick, bulky and rigid. StrikeBack is made of 1.5 metre fibreglass rods able to be connected together, each 8 or 10 mm in diameter, depending on the version.
Once you have your StrikeBack Fishing Lure Retriever at the boat; loctite the first two sections and slide the retriever in the gunwale rail on many aluminium boats, or attach a length of conduit along the inside of the boat. Your StrikeBack Fishing Lure Retriever is now stowed neatly as it has flexiblity to fit the contour of your the hull. Deck space is valuable, keep it clear. |

“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR AUGUST 16, 2004
The Getty parties of three fished aboard the “Fly Hooker” today and were referred to us by our friend from New Jersey, Joe Baczuski. A Marlin was the ultimate goal, but they did not want to focus solely on that and have a chance of missing out on taking home some fillets, so Juan and Manuel decided to take off up the Pacific side and find some Tuna or Dorado, with a chance of getting a Striped Marlin as well. The Tuna were there, and they ended up with 16 of them, ranging in size from 10 to 35 pounds. Juan said that they lost one fish that was well over 60 pounds. All this action was not too far from shore and after they had enough they went out to the Golden Gate banks to check it out. They got one Dorado on the way out there but there was no action for them on the bank itself. Not one Marlin was sighted by then today, but everyone had a fairly good time anyway (except for one very seasick angler). Thanks guys, and don’t forget to share the fish when you get home!
“FLY HOOLER” FISH REPORT FOR AUGUST 17, 2004
Liam Ruddy and his new wife Rachel were our anglers today. They just got married this weekend in Palm Beach, and Hurricane Charley did not interfere with their plans! They have a 31’ Contender at home and do a lot of fishing there, so they did not have a lot of interest in any Tuna or Dorado, Liam wanted Billfish, Marlin preferred! Juan and Manuel took off and headed out to the 95 spot where they put in lines. I got a phone call about 10:30 from Juan and he told me that they had just taken a Striped Marlin that had been bleeding from the gills. Later on in the morning Liam got hooked up to a Sailfish and got it to the boat for a successful tag and release. Rachel fought a #20 Dorado up to the boat and then the guys saw a big #50 bull Dorado following so they left Rachel’s fish out and tried to hook the big guy on live bait. Eventually they were able to get a hook in him, but then both fish came off! Oh well, that’s fishing! Things apparently slowed down after that and with the Marlin caught and fishing slow, they decided to come in a bit early. Congratulations Liam and Rachel, I hope your life has many more days like this one!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 19 AUGUST 2004
Steve Henline, his son Jack and friends Max and Scott are fishing aboard the “Fly Hooker” for the next three days. Today was a great day on the water for them as the target for the day was Billfish and everyone except Steve got one to the boat. Steve is waiting for the big boy, the Blue Marlin! Max caught the smallest fish of the day, and unfortunately it was also bleeding heavily when they got it to the boat. His Sailfish weighed approximately #90 and ate a live Caballito tossed to it. Jack’s fish was the first one hooked up and it was hooked on a lure. The #140 Striped Marlin was fought for about 20 minutes before coming to the boat for a tag, photos and then a good release. The last fish of the day was Scotts, and it was also the largest one! Caught on live bait, his Striped Marlin was estimated to weigh #180 and it took him around 30 minutes to get it to the boat. Again there was a good tag and release. Steve got some great video and says that of 50 days on the water this trip today was the best he has ever had. Thanks Steve, we have our fingers crossed that the big Blue shows up for you tomorrow!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 20 AUGUST, 2004
For the second day of video shooting and Billfish hunting Steve, Jack, Max and Scott had a good time. Juan and Manuel worked the same area as yesterday, out around the 95 Spot, and there were still fish in the area. They had a lot of fish come into the pattern but were only able to go two for four on Sailfish, and blanked out on two Striped Marlin and one Blue that made attempts at eating lures. Not a lot of fish to the boat, but there was a lot of action! Maybe Steve will get his shot at a Blue tomorrow.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 21 AUGUST, 2004
Today was the last of three days fishing for Steve, Jack, Scott and Max. It was supposed to be Steve’s day for a Blue Marlin, but it turned out to be a day for Scott, but not on a Blue! Starting in the same area around the 95 Spot early in the morning, Juan and Manuel started the search for a Blue. Of course the guys were not going to turn any fish down, but a big Blue was the target for the day. With nothing showing on the surface, and no reports of action in the area, they worked their way farther north, to outside of Cabo Real about 12 miles. Still nothing happening and they decided to get farther offshore. Out to 22 miles they went and finally had a solid strike. No one really saw the fish, and while it was a strike, it did not hook up. Juan dropped back a live bait, the bait got bit, the hook was set and then the water exploded! Both Juan and Manuel thought it was a Blue of a bit over 200 pounds. Now, a Blue was supposed to be Steve’s fish, right? Well, Scott happened to be closest to the rod when the fish was struck so he became the angler. There was a lot of jumping, and some great video of the action, then about 30 minutes into the fight the fish became tail wrapped during one of the jumps and died shortly after that. It ended up taking Scott over an hour to get the fish to the boat. At the dock, the fish weighed #210 pounds, an extremely nice Striped Marlin! They did have a few fish that they tossed bait to later on in the day, but no more hook-ups. Three days of fishing, three Striped Marlin, three sailfish and shots at others. Scott was the big fish guy for the trip with one Striped at #210 and another estimated at #180. Thanks guys, we enjoyed your company and are glad you had a great time!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR AUGUST 22, 2004
Todd, his father Max and his wife Cheryl went fishing on the Fly Hooker today and wanted to catch the biggest of their lives. That was not to be too hard an assignment as the biggest fish they had caught before was about the size of our bait! Well, that’s assuming that they were able to get anything to the boat. For the longest time on this trip it looked like they were going to get skunked, then around 10:30, when they were 22 miles to the east, a nice Striped Marlin of about #140 hit on one of the lures. One jump that everybody got to see and the fish came back down on the line and broke off. Juan said that a little later on a Sailfish came into the lures but did not hook up. Cheryl said that since the Marlin got away they would probably get a fish on the way in. She called that one right, because around 10 miles form the Marina they had a Dorado hook up on a lure and finally got a fish in the boat! The Dorado was about #20 and filleted out real nice! Thanks guys, we enjoyed having a beer after the trip and talking with you!
