| Fishing is an ancient practice that dates back to at least the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic period about 40,000 years ago. Isotopic analysis of the remains of Tianyuan man, a 40,000-year-old modern human from eastern Asia, has shown that he regularly consumed freshwater fish. |

| If we’re going to be strict about it, jellyfish and starfish are not really fish because they don’t have a backbone. As a correction, many public aquariums are now using the terms “sea jellies” and “sea stars”. |

�FLY HOOKER� FISH REPORT FOR 18 NOVEMBER 2002
Our local friends Don and Cathy Cole booked
the �Fly Hooker� today to go fishing with their
pastor Mike and his wife and Kathy�s brother Bob
and his wife. Some fish for dinner and perhaps
a chance to fight a Marlin were all they were
looking for but instead they had a boat ride. It
was
enjoyable, and they did say that watching the
Porpoise was very nice but since there was only one
Tuna strike (didn�t hook up) they had a lot of
time to just rest and eat. Don and Bob are going
again on Sunday so we hope the action improves by
then. This is the first trip on our boat where
Don got skunked, I sure hope it doesn�t happen
again!!
�FLY HOOKER� FISH REPORT FOR 19 NOVEMBER 2002
Raul and Dave Hernandez and their friend Harvey
are fishing with us today through the 23rd
and I thought about just combining all the days
into one report but nah, never mind, I would
probably forget something then. They are from
Texas, the Dallas area and are usually found out
fishing for Catfish and Striped Bass. They wanted
to catch big fish and decided that Cabo was the
place to go. Sometime during the 5 days of fishing
they would like to be able to each fight a
Marlin, that is the ultimate goal. Of course, any
fish at all is great and the larger the better!
Well,
Juan and Manuel decided to go up the Pacific coast
again. They were lines in outside the light
house and had a triple strike on Dorado, getting
one to the boat. They continued up the coast
almost 25 miles and had no action at all.
Returning, they hooked into three more Dorado in
the
same area where they hooked up this morning and
this time they managed to get two of the fish
into the boat. Some very nice fillets were taken
over to the smokehouse and you know they are
going to enjoy eating them when they get home!
Tomorrow the plan is to go south and see if
there are any Marlin out there. I�m keeping my
fingers crossed for these guys, they are so nice
they deserve to get lots of fish! Until tomorrow,
Tight Lines!
�FLY HOOKER� FISH REPORT FOR 20 NOVEMBER 2002
Juan and Manuel took off with Dave, Raul and
Harvey this morning and headed south from the
lighthouse. They worked their way out 18 miles
without spotting any Striped Marlin. They did
pick up one Dorado on the way out and one on the
way back, both fairly close to the lighthouse
area. Enough Dorado they said, lets go for Marlin
tomorrow! Fingers crossed.
�FLY HOOKER� FISH REPORT FOR 21 NOVEMBER, 2002
Today was Juan�s day off and Abulito worked
as deckhand. Manuel decided to try the 95 spot
without success and then they worked up towards the
1150, again with no luck. A friend
contacted him on the radio and said that they had
some luck deep dropping live bait off of the
ledge at the lighthouse so they gave that a shot
for an hour and a half with no luck. Dave, Raul
and Harvey are getting antsy, they only have two
more days to get their billfish. Our fingers and
toes are crossed!
�FLY HOOKER� FISH REPORT FOR 22 NOVEMBER 2002
High tide was early this morning and Juan and
Manuel decided that they should try the deep
drop of the lighthouse first thing, working the
tide change. Finally some action! Dave caught a
Sailfish of about 80 pounds and a Dorado as well
while both Raul and Harvey had Marlin grab
their baits but were unable to get them hooked up
very well. They did get some jumps out of
their Marlin but the hooks were thrown. They also
got strikes from Wahoo but were not able to
get them hooked up either. Tomorrow they are going
to leave a little bit earlier because the bite
happened early today. They had gone through the 12
baits they had bought by 11 am so
tomorrow they are going to buy a few more!
Fingers, toes and eyes crossed for their Marlin!
�FLY HOOKER� FISH REPORT FOR 23 NOVEMBER 2002
Today was the last day of fishing for Raul,
Dave and Harvey and they went out to repeat the
action they had yesterday. It was not the same,
but both Raul and Harry got to fight and release a
Sailfish while working the bottom with live bait.
Dave was the designated photographer since he
had gotten his fish yesterday, and he did a fine
job of it as was shown by the results played back
when they returned. They also hooked up to four
big Skipjack Tuna and Dave got to fight a
Stingray estimated at 25-30 pounds that took a
liking to his live bait. The guys had a great time
and were happy that they managed to get a billfish
each. Thanks go out to Raul and Dave and
Harry for being a great bunch to be with! Looking
forward to either 2003 or 2004!
�FLY HOOKER� FISH REPORT FOR 24 NOVEMBER 2002
Don Cole and his brother-in-law Bob were our
anglers today and they invited me to go along
with them. When we left this morning we were
hoping to not have a repeat of Mondays outing
when they got skunked! Thankfully we found fish,
but it was a morning bite for sure. Don said
that he would rather catch fish for the table than
catch trophy fish so Juan directed the boat up the
Pacific coast and we fished less than two miles
offshore between Margaritas and Migrainos. Bob
was first up in the chair and the first strike was
on the bridge rod, a nice Dorado of about 20
pounds. It took only a few minutes to coach Bob on
the proper technique and the fish was gaffed
and in the box shortly thereafter. The next fish
was about 15 minutes later at 8am and it was a
slightly smaller Dorado, one about 15 pounds. Don
made short work of that fish and we
continued to work the area, along with about 10
other boats, but without any further luck. At
around 9:30 Juan had us working under a Frigate
bird and was getting frustrated when we could
not get a bite. He gunned the engines and it may
have been the increase in speed, but a big Bull
Dorado jumped on a lure and Bob was off to the
races again. This fish took a lot of line and
after
the lines were cleared we dropped a bait way back
there and managed to hook up another
Dorado, this one a big female that Don got to
fight. Both of these fish, estimated at between 30
and 35 pounds, ended up in the fish box! We did
have another Dorado strike at around 11 am, a
big Bull that struck the short line, but it failed
to hook up well. We returned to the dock with
Don�s cooler filled with zip-locked fillets and
with both Don and Bob with smiles on their faces!
Until Next Week, Tight Lines form George, Mary,
Juan and Manuel, the �Fly Hooker� Crew!
