Tip&Trick Description 1:
I just returned from a fishing trip on the Fin Fever out of Newport Beach, California and was I impressed with what they used to catch the tunas! We used Yozuri Hydromagnums in the to troll for the albacore tunas. I am telling you these were the hottest lures I have seen in a long time! They removed the front treble hook from the lures to make removal of the lure easier and faster from the fish. After multiple double and triple hookups I am convinced these are the hottest lures around! I asked to take a photo of the lures so I could get some and thanks to the crew and their hot tricks we caught our limit (all we wanted till we were tired of pulling on the fish!) Great trip with a great group of guys!! Hope this photo helps.......Matt |

“FLY HOOKER” REPAIR REPORT FOR DECEMBER 12-18
Bet you thought that this was going to be a fish report, huh? Well, I wish it was but
we had a problem with the starboard motor on Friday and were down for a week. New
sleeves, pistons and rings as well as gaskets, engine back in the boat around noon on
the 18th, everything hooked up and test run. Great oil pressure again and it is running
great. While we were down we also did a bit of repair work on the deck around the
engine covers, nice and solid again! The boat’s up and working again and Mary says
that my Christmas presents are in the engine! As long as she (the boat) keeps running,
that’s fine with me.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR DECEMBER 19, 2003
Garland Cannon and his friend Ray booked the “Fly Hooker” for three days and
today was the first. The fishing has been a bit slow so Juan and Manuel had to search
for fish. It was not until they were 27 miles out that they finally got into some Tuna and
they hooked up three on the first pass. The fish were in the 20-25 pound class and on
the next pass they got one more. The fish then went down and that was the end of the
action. Garland and Ray cancelled tomorrow and Sunday saying that they did not like
having to go 27 miles to get into the fish. Well, I don’t like it either as it sure burns a lot
of fuel, but if that is where the fish are, that is where we go. Guess we could have just
gone on a boat ride close to shore and saved a lot of fuel and maybe caught a Dorado,
but we did try to get them into fish. They came with four coolers they wanted to fill with
fillets in four days of fishing. We could have deep dropped live bait for Marlin, but they
wanted eating fish. We got coal in our stocking on this one as we put all the deposit
toward the day of fishing, sigh. Oh yes, we put them on another boat yesterday and
they caught one Dorado. That boat ended up towing in another boat for a couple of
hours and we ended up refunding half the charter money. Merry Christmas!
