“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 19 JANUARY, 2004
Larry and Mary Heim along with a couple of friend fished with us several years ago
and the day before yesterday we met them again while watching the conference play
offs at Tanga-Tanga. They wanted to go fishing for a day and today was the day
decided upon. Juan is on vacation so Manuel is fishing with Capt. Philipe Almanza
working the deck. They headed out towards the south side of the San Jaime banks and
worked the area pretty good. Larry really wanted to get some Dorado for dinner and he
was first on the rotation as an angler. After reaching the area to be fished, the lines
went in and less than 10 minutes later there was a strike! Larry was in the chair and it
did not take him long to get the #15 Dorado to the boat where Philipe gaffed it and put
it in the box. Success right off the bat. Things got a little slow then as everyone waited
and hoped for more Dorado. It was not until around 9 am when a Striped Marlin was
spotted, a bait was tossed and the fish hooked up. After a successful tag and release
things were quiet again for the next 45 minutes. Then Manuel spotted Porpoise
working and after a short fast run they were working the edge of the school. They
managed to pick up three or four Yellowfin Tuna in the 10-15 pound class and several
Bonita as well. That was all the action for the day but they returned with flags flying!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 22 JANUARY, 2004
Larry Heim talked things over with his buddies and they decided to go fishing for one
more day! This morning Larry, Thom, Steve, Steve and R.J. left the marina on the “Fly
Hooker” with Manuel and Philipe. The wind had started blowing last night as clouds
started to move in and Manuel decided the fishing would be better up the Sea of Cortez
towards the Gorda Banks area, and that was the right choice! They got into Porpoise
and worked them hard, but were only able to get one Yellowfin out of them. The same
area also gave up three nice Dorado. One more Dorado was lost. The exciting action
was the hook-up of a Blue Marlin! The fish struck the lure run on the bridge rod and
made a good run before jumping and coming down on the leader. The bill had chaffed
the leader pretty good and the weight of the fish coming down on it finished the job.
Tow of the guys, along with Manuel and Philipe saw the fish strike and jump and
everyone swears the fish was over #500! Oh well, that happens with big fish
sometimes! I said earlier the they had made the right choice in where to fish, the boats
that went to the Pacific side or the area south of the Cape got beaten up by the wind
and choppy water. Where the guys fished today the water was great!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 23 JANUARY, 2004
John Kelly and his friend Luke fished with us today. John also owns a 31 Bertram
that he fishes out of Indian River, Maryland and found us through other 31 owners that
have fished with us, on the 31bertram.com website. This was the first time he has
fished for Striped Marlin and he was surprised at how we go about it. Manuel and
Philipe went back to the area off the Gorda Banks that they had worked yesterday and
this time they spotted over 11 Striped Marlin, getting a chance to toss bait at eight of
them. John was amazed that the Marlin were just swimming along on top of the water
like Sailfish! Out of the eight fish they tossed bait to, four of them bit and two of them
hooked up solid. Both John and Luke were able to bring their fish to the boat within 30
minutes on #40 line, and both fish were tagged and released. When they tossed bait at
one of the other Striped Marlin, the fish swam away but the bait was eaten by a Wahoo
right away! Lucky for the guys, the Wahoo was hooked in the corner of the jaw and
was not able to bite through the line. It took only 5 or 8 minutes to bring the #60 fish to
the boat, where Philipe was able to get a gaff in it. A little later they were able to get a
fair sized Dorado as well. John said that when the Blue Marlin showed up in the
pattern and started knocking around lures, that was the kind of fishing he was used too,
except that back home they have to run out 70 miles, leaving at three in the morning to
get into the action! Here, they left at 6:30 and were back at 2:30 and had a blast! Of
course, it was cloudy and there was a little bit of rain spitting now and then, and they
did get drenched during one downpour, but they still had a good time. They are here
on a company thing, and one of the options offered to them as an activity was fishing,
so they have the boat booked for tomorrow as well! Check back and I will let you know
how things went for them.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 24 JANUARY, 2004
This was the second day for Jon and Larry and they had a late start. It rained
heavily last night and the wind blew hard. Someone at the resort they were staying at
told everyone that fishing for the day was cancelled so they slept in. Hey, if we call you
and say it is cancelled, it is cancelled, but not until we say so, or the Port Captain
closes the Port. The wind had died down this morning and the rain had stopped, the
sun came out and it was beautiful! At 7 am Mary called John and roused him out of
bed. At 7:30 he and Luke were at the boat and on their way. Once again Manuel and
Philipe went to the area outside the Gorda Banks but the fishing was slower than that
of yesterday, perhaps because of the rain, or maybe because the sun was out. They
did get into the Dorado and managed to get four of them into the boat, with the largest
fish being a Bull of about #40, a very nice fish. There was no action on the Marlin for
them at all today. It is amazing how things can change day to day. Manuel had them
back at the dock around 4pm and they enjoyed the trip, even though it was a choppy
ride back! Thanks John, we are glad you had a chance to experience fishing in Cabo
with us!
