Aug 8, 2004; 05:23AM - Stowage of StrikeBack Fishing Lure Retrievers
|
Category: [other]
|
Author Name: John Szymanski
|
Tip&Trick Description 1:
Simple Stowage of StrikeBack Fishing Lure Retriever for more deck Space.
Most pole type lure retrievers are thick, bulky and rigid. StrikeBack is made of 1.5 metre fibreglass rods able to be connected together, each 8 or 10 mm in diameter, depending on the version.
Once you have your StrikeBack Fishing Lure Retriever at the boat; loctite the first two sections and slide the retriever in the gunwale rail on many aluminium boats, or attach a length of conduit along the inside of the boat. Your StrikeBack Fishing Lure Retriever is now stowed neatly as it has flexiblity to fit the contour of your the hull. Deck space is valuable, keep it clear. |

IZTAPA, GUATEMALA
IN GENERAL: In the past week, we have a lot of offshore action to report. The 2003 Presidential Challenge wrapped up in Guatemala this past week, so we had more boats on the water fishing than we have had in a while. Action for the 30 participants was HOT with a wide open bite on the last day! In the 3 days of fishing they released 553 Sailfish and a couple of Blue Marlin. In addition to this action several of the local boats were out prior to and during the tournament and released an additional 153 sails with a couple of Marlin thrown in. The total on sails released for the week was 706, which is not bad. Dorado were also present but we don’t have counts on them. Inshore there was no one out, once again. The action is really great right now, so its time to get on down to Guatemala!
