“FLY HOOKER” WEEKLY FISH COUNT
Striped Marlin: 1 released (120#)
Wahoo: 2 kept (60#)
Dorado: 1 kept (20#)
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 31 AUGUST, 2003
This is Paul and Pam Langham’s second day of fishing and Pam was queen for the day as she
was able to catch, tag and release another Striped Marlin. The Jester for the day was our fill-in
deckhand Edgar, as he managed to release several fish at the side of the boat just before being
able to gaff them, including Dorado and Wahoo. Sigh, oh well... Paul was a bit disappointed in
that but they had lots of action and plenty of fish yesterday. Thanks guys, we are looking forward
to seeing you again next year!
“ FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER 1, 2003
Charlie, Skip and our friend Andy Cline were aboard the “Fly Hooker” today, and while the
action was not great, they did return with a nice Wahoo and a Dorado. Both of these fish were
caught on an “Islander” lure in blue and white with a ballyhoo under it, fished way, way back!
Marlin were sighted but none hooked up. Next time!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 2 SEPTEMBER, 2003
The Al Waidie group of guys fished with us today, and they are fishing tomorrow as well.
These are a bunch of guys working for the L.A. County Sheriff’s Dept. and while only two of
them admit to being real fisherman, all of them want to try it out. The water was in pretty good
condition today but Juan and Manual were not able to get the guys into any fish. They tried all
the spots that had been producing, but had no luck. The group was disappointed, but are going to
try again tomorrow. Our fingers are crossed.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER 3, 2003
The Port Captain opened the port at 6:30, but perhaps he should have kept it closed. Almost
all the boats had returned by 11:30 and he closed it at around 1PM. The Waidie group had strikes
from a Striped Marlin and a Dorado, two of them were sick and Manual said that the swells were
at least three meters, and occasionally four! Disneyland! Hope it settles down soon! This is the
result of a quick, passing storm.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER 4, 2003
A day of fishing for Skip and Charlie cancelled due to weather conditions.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER 5, 2003
Manual is off for four days in order to play in another baseball tournament so we have Juan as
Captain on the boat and Edgar as fill-in deckhand. Skip and Charlie have enough meet now so
they want to focus on catching Marlin for the next three days. Juan was able to put them on fish,
but none of them were Marlin, at least none of them that struck. Edgar was able to get another
Wahoo gaffed and in the boat. Charlie estimated it at 60 pounds. Edgar did another boatside
release on a Dorado. Juan said they spotted six Striped Marlin, but were not able to get bait
tossed to any of the fish before they went down. They worked the area off the Lighthouse on the
Pacific side all day.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 30 AUGUST, 2003
Today I went with Juan and his brother Juan on the boat with Skip and Charlie. Perhaps the
owner should not go fishing, maybe it is bad luck to be aboard your own boat with clients. Or
maybe it was because Charlie brought Bananas aboard? Whatever the reason, it was a long day
and good water conditions, but no hook-ups. We worked the Pacific side and today went up to
the area inside the Golden Gate Banks, then back down to off the lighthouse. The fish we saw
were Stripers on the surface in the area of the lighthouse. We did have a knock down on the
short rigger but the fish never hooked and we never saw what it was. We were able to toss bait
to two Striped Marlin but neither of them showed any interest in the bait. I am going again
tomorrow, so I hope it is not me that is the jinx! We will have all our fingers crossed for Billfish
manana! Until next weeks report, tight lines!
