“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER 7, 2001
Today was the last day of fishing for Charlie and Skip Albrecht and they still needed
to catch a Marlin. In order to determine if the cause of them not being successful
yesterday was because of me being aboard or because Charlie had brought bananas
yesterday, we decided that I would go for this last day and Charlie would leave the
bananas at the room. I think that events proved that it was the bananas. Juan, his
brother Juan II and myself were aboard the boat with Charlie and Skip as we left the
marina at the normal time and today, instead of working the area just off the lighthouse
on the Pacific side, we headed straight south for an hour before putting lines in the
water. As the sun came up, we saw that we were in blue water with flying fish all
around us! A really great sign, but it was also a bit rough. We were working in 4-5 foot
seas with a 1-2 foot chop, fishable, but not very comfortable. All the lures were put out
and we settled in to wait, constantly scanning the surrounding water for signs of a
Marlin. Skip says he saw the fish as it’s head came out of the water, trying to get at the
lure on the short rigger, the green/black straight runner. It was 8:25 in the morning and
the fish knocked the line from the rigger clip, took a couple of yards on the strike and
then let go of the lure. I was on it in a flash and dropped the lure back around 20 feet,
hoping the fish would think that he had stunned his prey and that he would then have
an easy meal. I did it twice, and on the second attempt, I came up tight as the drag
lever was pushed back to strike position. The fish made one jump and then the fight
was down and deep. Skip was in the chair and after 25 minutes, we finally got to see
color in the deep. Another 5 minutes and Juan II had the leader in his hand and we
had a legal catch. I placed the tag in the shoulder of the fish and then grabbed the bill.
A ten minute thrashing ensued, and finally Juan II was able to get the hook removed
from the hard, bony part of the upper jaw. We pulled the fish along the boat for a few
minutes and then released him as he revived. Great job Skip, you should be getting a
“Billfish Foundation” release certificate for your 250 pound Blue Marlin sometime soon!
Charlie was up next, and as we continued to troll, we kept hoping that the next strike
was going to be another Marlin. Well, the next one was a Dorado, the one after that
was a Dorado as well. Nothing to sneeze at, as both fish were in the 30 pound range,
but not quite what he had in mind . It was not until almost the end of the trip as we
were working the area just off the lighthouse on the way home that the fish hit. It was a
Striped Marlin that at first we thought might be a Wahoo, but as Charlie worked the
fish, we could tell by it’s actions that he had a Marlin hooked up. The fish was within 20
feet of the boat when the hook pulled loose! We are sorry for you Charlie, but maybe it
will happen for you next time! At least you are going home with a cooler or two full of
fillets! Thanks guys, we hope you had a great time and look forward to seeing you
again soon!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 12 SEPTEMBER, 2003
Billy Nicholas is back in Cabo and this time he has five other couples with him and
Renata. Yesterday everyone went together on one boat for a full day of fishing, just to
get the girls on the water. It was a long day but they were able to get one Dorado in
the boat, enough fish for dinner. Today it is just a guys day, and Juan and Manuel
were able to get them into some fish. It took a long run, almost 22 miles, before they
got into the Tuna, and once there, they lost more fish than they caught. That was all
right though, as the six fish they landed were all in the 25-40 pound class and provided
plenty of fillets. There was only a little other action for them today as they had a Marlin
try for the lure on the port rigger. It tried to eat the lure twice but did not hook up. The
water was still a bit lumpy on the Pacific side. Billy is still looking for his first Marlin!
They are going again tomorrow, and the girls are going on a separate boat, sort of a
little competition! Biggest fish wins!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 13 SEPTEMBER, 2003
Just five of the guys showed up this morning, I guess one of them was not as good of
a party guy as he thought! Knowing that the target of todays trip was to be Marlin, Juan
and Manuel stayed close to the harbor, not getting more than 7 miles out. A small
Dorado was the first fish of the day and the second fish was the one they had been
looking for! Billy got in the chair on the Blue Marlin estimated at #300, and while the
fish did an amazing number of jumps, it only took Billy 27 minutes to get it to the side of
the boat. Juan was able to touch the leader to make it an official catch when the fish
turned the other way and the hook came out! A legal catch, and one Billy can be proud
of! Not only that, but it won them the competition! The girls were able to catch more
fish and they ended up with 6 tuna, but the guys got the big one! Thanks to all of you,
we enjoyed fishing with you and it was a real nice group that arrived.
