Tip&Trick Description 1:
Here’s a fishing story.
Four married guys go fishing. After an hour, the following conversation
took place:
First guy:
’You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out fishing this
weekend. I had to promise my wife that I will paint every room in the
house next weekend.’
Second guy:
’That is nothing, I had to promise my wiife that I will build her a new
deck for the pool.’
Third guy:
’Man, you both have it easy! I had to promise my wife that I will
remodel the kitchen for her.’
They continue to fish when they realized that the fourth guy has not
said a word. So they asked him.!
’You haven’t said anything about what you had to do to be able to come
fishing this weekend. What’s the deal?’
Fourth guy:
’I just set my alarm for 5:30 am. When it went off, I shut off my alarm,
gave the wife a nudge and said, ’Fishing or Sex’ and she said, ’Wear a
sweater.’

WEEKLY FISH COUNT
STRIPED MARLIN: ONE RELEASED (#120)
DORADO: 8 KEPT (15-25#)
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR OCTOBER 14, 2003
We had a young newlywed couple on board the boat today and they just wanted a
chance to get out and catch some fish. It ended up a short day because of a blown
transmission oil seal but they did catch a nice Dorado on the way back in. Juan said
that several more Dorado were lost and the water was really nice out there. The
transmission oil seals were replaced this afternoon and everything is fine now.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR OCTOBER 15, 2003
Our friend Joe Baczewski, his son Joey and Joey’s girlfriend Casey are fishing on
the “Fly Hooker” today and tomorrow. Several years ago Joey was fortunate enough to
catch a #450 Blue Marlin while fishing with Juan and Manuel and both him and Joe
have been looking for another large fish since then. This week it was difficult to get any
live bait and today was no exception, no bait available. It was also the first day of the
“Los Cabos Billfish Tournament” so there was a lot of pressure on the billfish with
everyone working for them. With over 60 boats in the tournament plus normal charters
the pressure was fairly intense. Juan and Manuel worked up the Pacific coast and
caught two Dorado but only saw two Striped Marlin. One of these fish they may have
had a shot at with live bait but the other one went down right away. Casey did not feel
well during the trip and slept most of the time. We hope the fishing is better for them
tomorrow!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR OCTOBER 16, 2003
Casey decided not to go today so it was just Joe and Joey Baczewski today. Again,
there was little live bait available and what was there was not good. Juan and Manuel
headed up the Pacific side of the Cape and found Dorado about 15 miles up the coast.
They were able to get 5 fish in the boat, all around 20 pounds, plus they lost several
more. On the way back in they saw two Marlin on the surface out by the lighthouse but
with no live bait to entice them it was a frustrating experience. I surely hope that next
time they come to Cabo the Marlin fishing is better for them.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR OCTOBER 17, 2003
Jerry French, his wife and their friends booked the boat for today and any kind of fish
would have been fine for them. Juan had things to take care of at home so it was
Manuel and Mauricio on the boat. The girls got sick almost right away, started to chum
in an attempt to attract fish according to Jerry! It did not work though. Manuel stayed
in the area off the Lighthouse on the Pacific side, mostly within 10 miles while looking
for a Dorado or a Marlin, but they had no luck at all. It was a nice day on the water and
a good boat ride for the guys and the girls were good sports about it. Sorry Jerry, I
hope that your next trip has better results.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 18 OCTOBER, 2003
Our friend Tim and Jill Lawrence from Anchorage are in Cabo again and they will be
spending a few days over the next week on the “Fly Hooker” with Juan and Manuel.
Today they went up the Pacific coast to an area inside the Golden Gate Banks and
finally found a Striped Marlin. Since they were able to get some live bait this morning
Juan was able to cast on the fish and it ate! Jill got to fight the fish and after about 15
minutes Juan was able to grab the leader for a release. That was all the action for the
day, we were surprised that they were not able to get at least one Dorado! Maybe on
Monday.
