Apr 16, 2006; 08:39PM - Flashing stick baits for pike.
|

Author Name: Kasow

Tip&Trick Description 1:
When fishing for aggressive or active pike try using shallow running stick bait and retrieve the lure until it is about 10-15 feet away from the boat/pier. Then give it a jerk. The lure will create a bright flash that triggers the pike to bite. This technique works best in clear to mildly clear or stained water. You can try this for bass too. |

WEEKLY FISH COUNT
STRIPED MARLIN: ONE TAGGED AND RELEASED (#150)
DORADO: ONE KEPT (#50)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: SIXTEEN KEPT (#5-#35)
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR NOVEMBER 2, 2003
We had two guys on the “Fly Hooker” today who were booked by another company
and I cant remember their names, shame on me. They did have a good day fishing,
even if the fish were scattered. They finally found Porpoise that had Yellowfin Tuna
with them and were able to get hooked up to a nice one that Juan said would have
gone an easy #50, but it pulled hook just below the boat. They did get another one
hooked up that weighed right around #20, some nice fillets on that fish! A little later on
they got a blind strike and were hooked up to a Dorado that was right around #50! A
great fight and fillets for dinner! Not a lot of fish today but they were quality ones!
Thanks guys, we are glad you enjoyed fishing with us!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR NOVEMBER 3, 2003
Terry Matheson was back in Cabo with a group of 18 people and got a few of them to
fish with us today. We had four on our boat and four went on another boat. Juan and
Manuel managed to get into the Tuna today on the Cortez side out toward the 1150
spot. A friend found the fish first and gave them a call. In came the lines and off they
went. The Porpoise were working hard when the boat got there and the rods started
going off, sometimes four lines at once. It was a hectic hour and terry said they could
have filled the boat if they had wanted to, but they caught enough Yellowfin to 35
pounds that they were ready for something else, Marlin perhaps. The rest of the day
was spent in an unsuccessful search for another species. They had a great time and
we sure were glad to know that there were fish out there! Thanks Terry, we look
forward to a repeat!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR NOVEMBER 5, 2003
Yesterday we turned down a charter in order to get the boat ready for the Western
Outdoors Tuna Tournament, we don’t need any problems taking place when there is
big money on the line for our clients. Well, our tournament team is supposed to be
Tom and Ted Pianko, Mark Rangell and Gary Scherping. Tom and Mark are fishing
today, Ted and Gary are supposed to arrive tonight and fish the tournament tomorrow.
Being as this was a day to get used to the area and search out fish, Juan and Manuel
decided to head back to the Cortez side and see if there were still Tuna around where
they had found them a couple of days ago. They went as far as the 1,000 fathom line
up to the northeast of the Gorda Banks and while they did see a few fish break water,
they didn’t get any bites from the Tuna. Mark did get a chance to tangle with a Striped
Marlin that they estimated at #150, and was able to tag and release the fish after about
30 minutes of fighting time. That was it for the day, we sure hope that the Tuna are
biting tomorrow!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR NOVEMBER 6, 2003
This was the first day of the Tournament and unfortunately, Ted Pianko was not able
to make it to Cabo. he is an attorney and a judge held him over for court. He is also
the one who arranged everything and was bringing down all the personal gear the team
was to use. He was also the fisherman of the group! What a sad story! Almost like
being in the military! Anyway, Juan and Manuel had heard that there were some nice
fish found yesterday up on the Pacific side of the Cape and decided to head up there
today. Maybe the wrong decision since they found no fish that would bite. They did
see Porpoise and Tuna Jumping, but no takers. The big fish for the day in the
Tournament was #86, second place was #75 and third was #64, not big fish and easily
beat if one of the nice ones had come along. We have our fingers crossed that they do
better tomorrow!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR NOVEMBER 7, 2003
Tom, Mark and Gary were out again for the second day of the tournament and today
Juan and Manuel decided to go back to the Cortez side, up past the Gordo Banks
again. Juan said that the area they had been fishing on the Pacific side yesterday was
too crowded and the fish were extremely boat shy, wanting to get into fish that did not
have as much pressure put on them, they headed northeast. Wow, 37 miles out! They
did find the fish, but were only able to get one little, tiny, baby Yellowfin to bite. The
fish may have weighed 5 pounds, a perfect live bait for the Bisbee Marlin Tournament,
but not even close to a winner for this one. One of the boats in the tournament was
able to get a big fish and it weighed #176! Should have been us, darn it! Well, it was
quite the experience, and we are sorry that Ted was not able to make it for the fishing.
perhaps next year? Thanks guys!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR NOVEMBER 8, 2002
Once again we were booked by another company and took two guys out on the
“Fly Hooker”. They were supposed to go on another boat, but it had a fresh water
pump go out on one of the engines. These guys brought some of their own gear and
we had Juan’s brother Juan on board, along with Manuel. Juan attached a big Rapalla
to a length of #400 Mono and they used it while fishing. Manuel went up on the Pacific
side, in the vicinity of Golden gate Banks. They only fish they saw and the only strike
they had came on the Rapalla, but the Wahoo it attracted ended up biting through the
#400 mono leader. No fish for the day, but it was nice on the water. We hope you
have better luck on your next trip!
