Apr 3, 2012; 01:15PM - Hawaiin jug trick

Tip&Trick Description 1:
I recently learned this from an old Hawaiian fishing
book a friend loaned to me.
<>
<>When fishing for dolphin take a gallon jug attached to 20 feet of aid or dacron with a 2 ounce egg sinker sliding on it, connect to a swivel and then 6-10 feet of mono or fluro and a 6/0 circle hook.
<>
<>When you start hooking dolphin in the spread, throw the jug overboard baited with a chunk of fish, squid or small live-bait, being careful not to tangle your trolling lines. As you play out the already hooked fish, inevitably another dolphin takes the jug bait.
<>
<>This prevents you from losing the shoal whilst fighting the trolled fish and you also get several followers to cast to around the milk jug that you can go back to once you landed the first fish.
<>
<>Use a gaff to retrieve the jug/fish through the jug handle.
<>
<>Have tried it twice now and it worked like a charm both times, resulting in much more sport and fish on the grill.. Not sure if there are 'rules or regulations' against such things in the USA though.. |

“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR MARCH 3, 2003
Rick and Debbie Williamson and friends Ashok and Terry Prasad were our clients today and it
was the Prasad’s first saltwater expedition. Rick and Debbie are old hands at this so it good they
were along. The water had calmed down a bit from yesterdays choppy conditions but Debbie and
Ashock decided that chumming would help things along. Terry did not feel well herself but
managed to keep from feeding the fish. Rick claimed that he did not get sick because he was the
only one drinking beer, and since there was a whole case, he hated to see it go to waste!
According to him, if everyone else had helped out on the beer consumption, they would not have
had a problem....well maybe not! The fishing was good today and things started off with Ashock
getting the first fish, a very nice Dorado that struck a lure. The second fish of the day was
Debbie’s. It was her turn to get a fish and she was hoping that it would be a Dorado, but
nooo...It had to be a Marlin! With a little coaching and help from Juan and Rick, she was able to
get it to the boat after about 20 minutes. One of the hooks on the lure had gone through it’s eye
so the fish was taken instead of released. Over the course of the day they also managed to catch 6
Yellowfin Tuna, football fish, and three Skipjack Tuna. One of the Yellowfin was taken on
Rick’s spinning gear he had brought along and gave him a nice fight! A good fishing trip and
everyone enjoyed it, except for the chumming part!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR MARCH 4, 2003
David Lavier and his friends John and John Jr. were refereed to us by a mutual friend as the
people to go to when they decided they wanted to fish on this vacation. David called and said
that they wanted to catch fish and preferred Tuna and Dorado. Guess what, that’s what were are
getting right now! Juan and Manuel headed out and found the fish at 26 miles to the south, mixed
in with porpoise. The bite was not hot and heavy but the fishing was good. They ended up with
the biggest Tuna weighing 61 pounds and a few in the 25-30 pound class and a bunch of 10-15
pound fish. The water was a bit rough and while no one chummed, John and John Jr. both said
that they had times when they thought about it! It was a good time though and they were glad
they went! Thanks guys!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR MARCH 5, 2003
Steve and Alice Berstler fished again today and I went with them. Our intention was to go to
the same area, about 26 miles to the south, that they had been finding the Yellowfin at. Our only
worry was that the wind had continued to blow all night, it had lightened up a little but was still
blowing. Well, about 7 miles out we decided to turn downswell and work our way back to
calmer water. The deciding event was a broadside that soaked Juan and Manuel up on the bridge
and put enough water in the cockpit that the fish box was floating around! Three other boat
continued on for a few more miles before they also turned back. It was a bit better working our
way to a lee and we put out one Marlin lure and three feathers. Three times I thought I saw a
Dorado come in on the short rigger but the fish never bit. Around 8:40 we got into calmer water
and at that time Manuel spotted a Striped Marlin on the surface. Juan ran downstairs and pitched
a bait to it, the fish lit up and swam in and attacked the bait. There were some good jumps from
the fish at the beginning and then the fight was down and dirty. I thought Alice was going to fight
this one but she had hit her head a couple of days ago and had a headache so Steve got to fight it.
The fish on the first day took him 68 minutes and this one was 55 minutes so he was getting
better! Juan had leader in hand twice during the fight before I was able to place a tag on the third
attempt, the fish then surged and the leader parted. Nice fight, healthy fish and Steve re-opened
the blister on his thumb that he got the first day. Later on we hooked a couple of small Skipjack
Tuna that we released and that was the extent of the action for the day. In the calm water there
was no action at all, we saw one small boat fighting a Marlin and that was it. About 1pm we saw
a nice big bull Dorado jump just a little distance away and made a pass in the area but no action.
Like Steve said, “It sure is better than a day in the office!”. Thanks folks, and we are looking
forward to dinner tomorrow night!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR MARCH 7, 2003
Mike Huss has booked the “Fly Hooker” for today, tomorrow, the 13th and 14th. He is here
for the week on a big convention and today he fished with friends Rich and Gary. Juan and
Manuel took off towards the Gorda Banks area and put lines in the water when they were off of
the Westin. The water was great in that direction and at about 9:30 they hooked up their first
fish. It was a nice sized Striped Marlin, around 120 pounds, and it hit on a lure. Mike was the
angler on it and it did not take him long to get the fish to the boat. Once Juan got his hands on
the leader he was ready to tag the fish, but just before he could do so, the hook pulled loose. All
right, one Marlin, caught and released. In the same area they picked up three small Skipjack
Tuna, all released. At about 10:30 they had been trolling live bait for a little while and had
another hit. This time the marlin was not hooked well and was only on for a few seconds. An
hour later they had another fish in the pattern that just followed and would not eat anything. Back
at the dock at 2:30 they had a good day and arrangements were made for an earlier start for
tomorrow, since the best bite had occurred early today. I’ll let you know how it goes!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR MARCH 8, 2003
Today Mike Huss was fishing with his wife Karen. Juan and Manuel went back to the area
outside of the Gorda banks to find her a Marlin and they were successful. The fish was hooked
on live bait and it took Karen quite a while but she was able to finally get the fish to the boat for a
tag and quick release! Another Marlin was hooked up on live bait and it charged the boat, Juan
thinks the fish actually struck the port side on the charge. This fish was an acrobat and after
charging the boat it passed across the transom toward the starboard side and then tried to cross all
the lines, staying on top of the water the whole time. Great action from both the fish and the
second one spit out the bait after the action, and the bait was still alive! They saw more Marlin
than they did yesterday but the bite was off and they were not able to get any other solid hookups.
They did have a few more half interested fish and caught a couple of small Bonita. The water was
rough today as the wind had switched directions and was coming from the northeast. Mike and
Karen will be fishing again on the 13th so I will have a further report then!
Until next week, Tight Lines from George, Mary, Juan and Manuel, the “Fly Hooker” crew!
