Tip&Trick Description 1:
When fishing for aggressive or active pike try using shallow running stick bait and retrieve the lure until it is about 10-15 feet away from the boat/pier. Then give it a jerk. The lure will create a bright flash that triggers the pike to bite. This technique works best in clear to mildly clear or stained water. You can try this for bass too. |

WEEKLY FISH COUNT
BONITA: ONE KEPT (#20)
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 28 MARCH, 2004
Greg Durante and Will Cross were our anglers on the “Fly Hooker” today and while
the weather was nice and the waters were fairly calm, the fishing was not exactly great.
At least they hooked up, but the number of fish that made it into the fish box was not
high. As reported to me, they had one solid hook up on a very nice Dorado, Juan said
that the fish might have been over 50 pounds. Just as Juan grabbed hold of the leader
the hook pulled out, and that was after a really hard fought battle. One other Dorado
hit but did not hook up and they managed to get one of two big bomber Bonita in the
box. The Tunas were 15 to 20 pound size and these guys give a hard fight. Like I
said, not a lot of fish but at least some action. I hope more of them end up in the box
next time for Greg and Will!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 29 MARCH, 2004
Tom Barron and his girlfriend Marla Hohfelin are hoping for a nice day on the water
today and they got exactly that, a nice day on the water. They brought back no fish but
they did hook up. About 18 miles to the south they had a very large Wahoo hit a lure
and Marla fought the fish for about 5 minutes before the hook pulled out. Juan told me
that they also had a Marlin strike and a Dorado strike, neither of which hooked up. The
wind was almost non existent today and the water was beautiful!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR APRIL 1, 2004
The wind continued to blow since Monday and we were supposed to have a half day
trip with the Blanchard group, coming in off a cruise ship. The port engine would not
start and we placed them on another boat where they were able to get 4 football (10-12
pound) Yellowfin Tuna. While they were fishing we found the fuel pump on our engine
to be bad and picked up a brand new one in La Paz, installed it and are now ready for
tomorrow!
‘”FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR APRIL 2, 2004
Our friend Paul Watts has his daughter and grandson out on the “Fly Hooker” today,
as well as his friend Dr. D’arge. They started fishing at 9 miles out of Chileno, where
Yellowfin were found yesterday. Shortly after starting they were told on the radio of fish
being found 9 miles farther out and pulled in lines and ran out. Just when they got to
the area, our new fuel pump on the port engine froze. With only one engine, they were
able to make their way back to the marina, but had only one Dorado strike for the day.
Since the fuel pump was new and under warranty, the guys in La Paz put another one
on the bus and we installed it late in the evening so the boat will be ready for tomorrow.
