Jan 5, 2004; 10:17PM - Spanish Mackerel Tricks

Tip&Trick Description 1:
I love fishing for Spanish mackerel, so I do it often. When I shove off to go fishing, I often stumble upon a very large school of mackerel, but sometimes they all don't want to feed and reject anything you throw at them. When this happenes, a good trick to get them to bite is to get them exited so they just want to catch what the think is a little fish just for the fun of it. To do this you would want to swich immediately to anywhere from a 1/4oz to a 1/2oz kastmaser-(like a spoon but a lot better). I make a long cast to where the fish are and as soon as that lure hits the water I begin to reel in just fast enough to get the kastmaser poping out of the water kinda like a fleeing baitfish. After it jumps out of the water a couple times keep it fast just below the surface. Do this at least 4 times during your retrieve and pretty soon you will have dozens of mackerel chasing your lure just for the sport of it until the lure bites back and then you get to have all the fun. |
|
|
Tip&Trick Description 2:
When you get those swarms of mackerel chasing the your line, sometimes your lure will come to the boat a little early and the fish will ignore the katmaster and just swim away. To prevent this you want to go to the opposite end of the boat, make your cast, and then maneuver the lure so it will swim parallel to the boat, instead of directly at it, taking the mackerel with it. You will be catching mackerel right at the side of the boat. |

These techniques have worked for me many times and gotten me coolers full of fish and I hope they work for you, too. Good fishing till next time. |

“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR MARCH 10, 2003
The Brian Doughty party from Alaska were our anglers today and unfortunately it was just
another boring day on the water. Everyone, including Juan and Manuel, wanted to catch fish
today but they were very far away! By the time Juan and Manuel go the boat to the porpoise it
was too late and the fish were down. The first two boats there did well, but when you are number
10 or 11 it becomes a bit tougher. Juan said that they did spot a Swordfish on the surface but it
went down fast as they approached. Like John said, “It was a good boat trip”. Sure wish it had
been more than that. Hopefully the fish will come in a little closer as the week goes on.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 13 MARCH, 2003
Mike and Karen Huss are back for their third of four trips with us and they have brought
another couple along with them today, Allen and Cathy. Mike and Karen have already gotten a
Marlin each and they really want their friends to get hooked up also, but it was not to a Marlin
when it did happen. Early in the trip they came across a few scattered, small pods of Porpoise
and hooked up to a total of eight football Yellowfin Tunas, the largest of them perhaps 20
pounds. Not a bad way to start the day but it ended up being the only fishing action they had.
That was 26 miles south of the Westin and apparently they needed to go another 10 miles to the
south to get into the area where the Marlin were, but by the time they found out, it was too late.
The swells were a bit larger than a few days ago but there was no wind to speak of so it was a
comfortable trip. Lets keep our fingers crossed that tomorrow is a better one for fishing!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 14 MARCH, 2003
Mike and Karen’s last day of fishing here in Cabo was almost a repeat of yesterdays trip. No
other people were with them this time and instead of eight Tuna they were able to come up with
nine fish. They were all footballs again and today they did not have to go quite as far to get to
them, only 22 miles out today. Unfortunately Mary and I were not able to meet the boat when it
came in but Juan said that they had a wonderful time. I was glad to hear that and would like to
apologize for not being there. Thank you very much for fishing with us!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 15 MARCH, 2003
Our good friends Dave and Peggy Reese are back in Cabo and David went fishing today with
his friend Hayden. This was the first time to fish like this for Hayden so he had no idea what to
expect. Juan and Manuel went out to the same area they had been finding the Tuna on the last
two trips but there was nothing there. The water was great but no fish were in the area. Add to
that the fact that there were no Porpoise and they did not spend a lot of time working the area.
Instead, they came closer in and eventually found fish. About eight miles out they caught a
couple of small Skipjack Tuna, they saw a Marlin that was not hungry and they had a blind strike
form a fish with a little bit more power than the Skipjack. This fish was a Yellowfin Tuna that
weighed about 25-30 pounds, nice fillets came off of him! We were glad that Hayden caught
himself a fish but wish the bite had been better for them. Dave is talking about taking the kids out
on a half-day trip this week for Sierra, I’ll let you know how it goes!
Until Next week Tight Lines from George, Mary, Juan and Manuel, the “Fly Hooker” Crew
