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.’

“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR JUNE 1, 2003
Kyle Elliot booked the “Fly Hooker” for a half day today. Last year he had the boat for the whole day and they caught so many fish that they came in early! Well, the fishing has been a bit slower this week and in today’s half day trip they came up with a big fat “zero”. A nice boat ride and no fish hooked up. Perhaps they should have done the half day last year and a full day this year? Juan said there were fish out there, they just would not bite.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR JUNE 3, 2003
Dwight Nichols fished this same day last year and got skunked, so he was really hoping that this year there would be an improvement in his luck. Guess what....yep, they caught a fish this year. They also hooked up a few more that did not stay on, but at least they came in with dinner! The dinner fish was a Dorado of about 25-30 pounds that they caught at almost the end of the trip. The fish that they lost were three different Marlin. One of them was hooked on live bait and the other two on lures. One of the Marlin really gave them a show, and a workout as well, as they had the fish on for almost twenty minutes before the hook pulled out. During that time it did everything they are supposed to do, vertical jumps, washing machine headshakes, side on jumping runs and greyhounding away. Great action and it kept everyone on their toes! Lots more fish were seen but very few of them bit. Good water and a good time, thanks guys!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR JUNE 4, 2003
Sean Cunningham was our angler for today and his was a special request “flyfishing” if possible trip. With a flyfishing request I go along, so I got to spend the day with a really great guy. Sean is from Des Moines, Iowa, center of the universe, and gets to do quite a bit of fishing. The wind was blowing pretty good today and we were not sure if it was likely to calm down so he said that anything would do as long as we tried to hook on the fly at least once. The first fish was a Striped Marlin that appeared behind the lure on the bridge rod. We were able to tease it up to about the second wake, then it started bouncing around lure to lure. I pinned on a live bait in order to have it concentrate on one thing and dropped it back. The strong wind did not allow for a roll cast so we allowed the fish to eat the bait, Sean was going to fight the fish on conventional tackle. I set the hook and the fish started off when it passed under the bridge rod lure and got one of the hooks in its back, just by the dorsal fin. Working in tandem, Sean on the Tiagra 50 and me on the TLD-25, we worked the fish to the boat for a tag and release on a very pissed off Marlin! It was a quick fish and was released still full of energy. That was at 8:45. At 11 am we had another Marlin eat the same lure and it did a lot of jumping and took a lot of line. Sean worked the fish for 20 minutes before getting the tired fish to the boat where it was tagged and released. Ok, that was fun, but was not on the fly rod, and neither of the fish we had caught so far went into the fish box for dinner. With the wind still kicking a bit, we trolled one fly for Dorado and downsized several lures for the same reason. An hour later we hooked up a Dorado on a lure. We had spotted several Frigate birds working and after two passes under them, hooked up. Being greedy, I told Sean to stop reeling when the fish got close to the boat and we dropped a live bait back, hoping for a double. After several minutes with no pickup on the live bait, I told him to go ahead and bring the fish in. Edgar had the leader in his hand and was almost ready to gaff the fish when the hook pulled loose! Darn, time to go see if we can hook up again. Sean thought the Dorado was pretty neat, he had never seen one up close like that before, and I was able to get some good pictures of it for him. Back into the water went the lures and the fly. As we were trolling along, Sean saw a Dorado come through the spread, straight for the fly. The fish struck and broke the tippet on the strike. We got to se the Dorado, a nice sized one, doing cartwheels across the water, the fly hanging from the corner of his mouth. That was it for our days action and it was not all that bad, Sean was happy!
