“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER 3, 2004
Ken Shatzer and his friend Mark were supposed to be our anglers today. Yesterday we had feeder bands from a hurricane move through the area and they brought rain and a lot of wind, enough so that around noon the Port Captain closed the port to any outgoing traffic. Mary picked up Ken and Mark at the hotel this morning and told them that there was a possibility that he might keep the port closed. With everyone there and standing on the dock we waited until first light for the Marines to go out and check the bay and give word to the Captain on conditions out there. While waiting Juan heard on the radio one of the two cruise ships that was supposed to call today tell the Port Captain that they were going to give us a pass due to the high winds and seas. At 7 am the Captain reported that he was opening the port with the advisory that there were high winds and big seas and to proceed with caution. We let Ken and Mark have the option of going or not, and did not feel bad at all when they said that they preferred to give it a pass for today and would keep their fingers crossed that the water and winds would pass by tomorrow. Boats that did try and fish today all returned within an hour of leaving, the conditions were just too rough to fish.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER 4, 2004
The wind and seas had calmed down quite a bit by yesterday afternoon and today was a fishable day so Ken and Mark were able to get out and give it a shot. Manuel and Juan headed out toward the lighthouse on the Pacific side and found a large piece of wood early in the trip. The first cast of live bait on the wood resulted in the bait coming off but the second bait cast hooked them up to a nice #45 Dorado. They were not able to get any more fish off of that piece of wood so they kept heading out looking for more fish. They were able to get one more Dorado a little while later, and this fish was around #25. It was slow fishing, and after weather like that there are always a couple of days where it is necessary to search and figure out where the fish went to. They were able to get one small Yellowfin Tuna and a few Skipjacks hooked up but that was about it for them. The water has calmed down some but it was still bumpy and they decided that nest years they might change the week they visit Cabo, 3 of the past 5 years during Labor Day weekend have resulted in weather similar to this. Well, we hope to see you next year at a different time then! Thanks guys, and good luck!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER 5, 2004
Today is the first of three days fishing for Jere and Roz Foust. They are here for their 40th wedding anniversary and Jere really wants to catch a Blue Marlin. This morning he said that Dorado would be nice, but a Blue is the target. The wind and rain have all but disappeared here in Cabo but our Captain, Manuel, lives in the area of San Jose known as “La Playita” and there is a large arroyo between the village and San Jose that always has run off during heavy rains. He called and said that the road was impassable so Juan called our back up and it was Juan and Edgar on the boat this morning. Juan had heard reports on the radio that there had been a few Blues found on the Pacific side out toward the south so they headed for the lighthouse this morning to start. First fish in the box was early and it was a decent Wahoo of about #40, not a Marlin, but a nice fish none the less. About 10:30 they had a Striped Marlin on the surface that they tossed a bait to and Juan said the fish came down on the line on one of its first jumps and broke off. That was all the Marlin action they had, but on the way in, just as they were getting ready to clear lines they hooked up another Wahoo. Roz was the angler on this fish and brought in a very nice one estimated at #65! Good going guys, and our fingers are crossed that tomorrow you will get hooked up to that Blue!
