�FLY HOOKER� FISH REPORT FOR 30 DECEMBER, 2002
Today we had two couples on board the boat
whose trip was paid for by dad. Bart Ricks was
nice enough to give his daughters and their
husbands a day of fishing aboard the �Fly
Hooker�!
Jack and Wendy Kaiser and Michael and Kristen
Hakkert were happy when Juan and Manuel
were able to get Jack hooked up to a nice Striped
Marlin. Jack got a little help from Michael as
everyone was suffering a little bit from the
�tequila� flu. They had a good time and we hope
their
first experience will become a repeat experience
(without the �flu�)!
�FLY HOOKER� FISH REPORT FOR 31 DECEMBER, 2002
Greg and Melissa Murphy were referred to us by
our friends at �Baja On The Fly� and they
brought their son and daughter with them. It was
originally supposed to be a fly fishing trip for
Greg, but he is headed up to the East Cape on
Thursday for fly fishing so he decided to make
today a �fun� family trip. Of course he brought
along his fly fishing gear as well! They had a
great time catching Sierra, perfect for the kids to
fight, and Greg was able to get 5 of the buggers
hooked up casting to them with one of his outfits.
All in all a very nice experience for everyone
and great conditions as well! Thanks guys, and
good luck up the coast!
�FLY HOOKER� FISH REPORT FOR 2 JANUARY, 2003
Ron and his son Jeff and Jeff�s friend John
were our anglers today and it was a last minute
trip
for us. The boys had gone fishing on another boat
the day before yesterday and had fun catching
Sierra and a couple of small Dorado, not a bad trip
for their very first time out. They were
supposed to go on the same boat today but the boat
had been double booked. They were
wandering the docks looking for another boat when
we got together. It was a late start, not
getting out of the marina until about 8 am, but the
results were all right. Ron is a fisherman and
he wanted to get a Marlin to the boat, it did not
matter who caught the fish. If nothing was
hooked up, well, that is the way Marlin fishing is
sometimes, he would still rather be on the water
than on the beach. Luckily for us, we were able to
make the Marlin search a successful one.
There had been a good bite going on at the Golden
Gate banks so we headed out in that direction.
After running for about an hour we put lures in the
water, hoping for a Dorado or Wahoo or even
a Tuna while we worked our way to the Golden. No
fish bit on the way up and as we approached
the Banks it looked like a small city. I counted
84 boats drifting the Bank, almost all of the
dropping live bait deep. As we approached I did
not see anyone hooked up so we proceeded to
troll around the edge. Soon I saw two boats
backing down and we slid into the spot and quickly
dropped our own baits. After about 30 minutes we
had a strike and John was hooked up. It took
him 32 minutes to get the estimated 115# Striped
Marlin to the boat. The fish came up fairly fast
and then just stuck it�s head out of the water to
check us out and John thought that there was not
much fight to this Marlin fishing stuff. Once the
fish got it�s bearings that attitude quickly
changed. Down deep, then surface charging away
from the boat, at one time the fish was only
about 30 feet off the transom of another boat
fishing with us! The bite was on and about that
same time there must have been 5 boats right in
that area fighting fish! After that bit of action
we
re-rigged and tried again for another 30 minutes
without any luck. Ron wanted to give a try at
catching a Roosterfish so we ran into the beach
area and slow trolled live Mackerel and one
Rapala lure. Three fish had their tails cut off by
Sierra and we got one Sierra in the boat. That
fish struck a Rapala lure and then we had one big
strike. The fish ran a long way and crushed the
bait so it was a good chance that had been a
Roosterfish, but it did not hook up. After that it
was
time to run back to the Marina and so we did.
Everyone had a great time and we hope to see the
boys here again!
Until Next week, Happy New Year from George, Mary,
Juan and Manuel, the �Fly Hooker�
Crew!
