| Fishing is an ancient practice that dates back to at least the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic period about 40,000 years ago. Isotopic analysis of the remains of Tianyuan man, a 40,000-year-old modern human from eastern Asia, has shown that he regularly consumed freshwater fish. |

WEEKLY FISH COUNT
YELLOWFIN TUNA: EIGHTEEN FISH KEPT (#35 )
FLY HOOKER FISH REPORT FOR 29 FEBRUARY, 2004
I was walking around the Marina yesterday afternoon and got to talking with Roger
Let and Darrin Warren about fishing and since they had not yet booked a boat I took
them to the Fly Hooker and showed them the boat and equipment. This morning they
took off with Bud and Steve, a couple of guys vacationing with them. They also took
John, a guy we met this morning who was looking for a boat willing to take him as an
even share. John is a former Charter Capt. turned commercial fisherman out of central
California. Making a long story short, they got into the Tuna early on and by mid
morning everyone had caught a fish in the 35-45 pound class. Several other fish were
lost, and the easily managed to finish off the case of beer they brought with them. I
was not able to meet with them as I was on the private boat I work taking the owner and
friends out, but it sounded like they had a blast. The swells were pretty good sized and
the wind picked up later on in the morning, but the fish were biting! We love it when
that happens! Thanks guys, I hope the flight back home was a good one.
FLY HOOKER FISH REPORT FOR 2 MARCH, 2004
Our friend Jody sells timeshares at the Sheraton Resort and had two clients that
she wanted to get out fishing. Joel and Mindy also brought down a lot of things for the
kids out at the free daycare center as well as made a big donation for playground
equipment so we were happy to take them out for the day. The water was in great
shape and Philipe and Manuel were able to get into the Tuna early. By 9 AM they had
nine Yellowfin between 25 and 35 pounds in the boat. Enough! That was plenty of fish
since they only wanted a little for themselves, the rest of the fillets they were going to
donate to the daycare center. With enough Tuna in the boat it was time to look for a
Marlin. They did find one on the surface but it was not interested in eating so that was
it for the day. Joel and Mindy had a great time and we are so glad they were able to
get into the fish!
FLY HOOKER FISH REPORT FOR 3 MARCH, 2004
Our buddy Billy Be-Bop Bowman introduced us to his friends Cameron Melville and
his girlfriend Ruth last night at the Tanga-Tanga bar. Cameron is a keyboardist in
California and Ruth teaches chefs at the ACI in New York, sort of a very long distance
romance. They were able to get away for a vacation and Cameron brought his
keyboard with him and was able to sit in with Kevin and The Buzz last night.
Awesome music! Well, they wanted to get a chance to try fishing while here. Billy
decided that a half day trip would be perfect since they had no experience and the
Tuna had been pretty close the last few days. As they were leaving this morning
Cameron gave us a copy of the latest CD he had worked on. If you ever get a chance
to get a copy, its called Cheap Yellow Mustard and is sort of a funky fusion of Jazz
and Rock, totally awesome music. I am listening to it as I am writing this report, almost
dancing in my seat, trying hard not to snap my fingers and type at the same time! Oh,
produced in 2003 by Cheap Yellow Mustard, Parkway Records, recorded at Bakersfield
Music school and recording studio, for info call 661-882-5859. Anyway, back to the
trip. The fish had moved off shore and they got skunked. The water was great, just no
fish. Billy was the only one who saw a whale as well. Sigh. Anyway, Cameron and
Ruth, it was a pleasure to meet you, and thanks for the music!
FLY HOOKER FISH REPORT FOR 4 MARCH, 2004
Charles and Steve were on the cruise ship Ryndam and wanted to do some fishing
when it stopped over in Cabo, so they booked a half day trip with us before setting out
on the cruise. We got them on board the boat at 8 am and imagine our surprise when
our friend Walt Ehnat was with them! They met on the boat and when Walt found out
they had booked with us he decided he had to go as well! Now, a half day trip
yesterday turned out a stinkeroony and with not getting out until 8 AM, today was as
well. There were Tuna only two miles off the lighthouse but the first boats to the fish
caught and those who were late got nada. They did hook up one big Skipjack Tuna,
but it came off the hook at the side of the boat. Steve is looking forward to his next trip
to Cabo and wants to fish with us then, Charles is an old Cabo hand, having fished
here back when the cannery was operating and he was commercial fishing. Like he
said, the fishing sure has changed! Anyway, thanks guys, we hope the return trip on
the cruise ship was enjoyable.
FLY HOOKER FISH REPORT FOR 6 MARCH, 2004
Bob Lipinski called us yesterday evening and said he and his wife Julie wanted to go
fishing for a day. We were recommended to them by Joel and Mindy, whom we took
out on Tuesday. Sure I said, we are available tomorrow! We met them at the dock this
morning at 6:15, introduced them to Juan and Manuel and saw them on their way.
They headed out to the Pacific side and it was not until they got past the San Jaime
Banks that they finally got a hook up. There was a triple strike and they were able to
get two of the fish into the boat. Both of them were nice Yellowfin Tuna of about 25
pounds, and there were no Porpoise around them. A few miles in the distance Manuel
saw three other boats that looked as if they might be working fish, but received a
negative response from then when he asked it they were catching. They were working
Porpoise hard but not getting bit. Juan and Manuel did another pass on the spot where
the first hook up occurred and again had a triple strike. Once again two of the fish
made it into the boat and this time the biggest would have gone an easy 30 pounds
according to Juan. That was the action for the day and I was worried as I watched
boats come in, one after another with no flags flying. When Mary showed up and told
me that the boat was on the way in and that they had fish aboard I was smiling! So
were Bob and Laurie when the boat tied up! Thanks guys, we are glad you were able
to catch fish and had a good time! For the rest of you out there, check us out next
week to see what has been happening here in Cabo! Oh, by the way, the weather
finally warmed up today!!
