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. |

If we’re going to be strict about it, jellyfish and starfish are not really fish because they don’t have a backbone. As a correction, many public aquariums are now using the terms “sea jellies” and “sea stars”. |

Apr 3, 2012; 01:15PM - Hawaiin jug trick
|
Category: Fishing tips and tricks

Tip&Trick Description 1:
I recently learned this from an old Hawaiian fishing
book a friend loaned to me.
<>
<>When fishing for dolphin take a gallon jug attached to 20 feet of aid or dacron with a 2 ounce egg sinker sliding on it, connect to a swivel and then 6-10 feet of mono or fluro and a 6/0 circle hook.
<>
<>When you start hooking dolphin in the spread, throw the jug overboard baited with a chunk of fish, squid or small live-bait, being careful not to tangle your trolling lines. As you play out the already hooked fish, inevitably another dolphin takes the jug bait.
<>
<>This prevents you from losing the shoal whilst fighting the trolled fish and you also get several followers to cast to around the milk jug that you can go back to once you landed the first fish.
<>
<>Use a gaff to retrieve the jug/fish through the jug handle.
<>
<>Have tried it twice now and it worked like a charm both times, resulting in much more sport and fish on the grill.. Not sure if there are 'rules or regulations' against such things in the USA though.. |

FLY HOOKER FISH TOTALS FOR THE WEEK:
Striped Marlin: 2 fish tagged and released (#120)
Wahoo: 0 fish caught
Dorado: 0 fish caught
Tuna: 0 fish caught
FLY HOOKER FISH REPORT FOR MAY 26, 2003
Dennis, his wife and another couple were our anglers for today and they were a dock charter,
met Juan at the dock and booked the Fly Hooker for today and Thursday. They really wanted
to get a Dorado for eating and hook up to a Marlin so that is what Juan and Manel set out to do.
They headed out to the 95 spot, where there had been lots of Marlin for the past few days. On
the way there they hooked up to a nice Dorado that came unbuttoned about 5 minutes into the
fight. As they approached the 95 spot they began to spot Marlin on the surface. Out of a total of
30 marlin spotted they were abble to place bait in front of twents, and out of the twenty they were
able to get two solid hook-ups. Both fish were in the 120 pound class and tood about 30 minutes
each to bring in. Both fish were tagged and released. On Thursday the wives will stay ashore and
Denniss friend will be bringing his son instead.
FLY HOOKER FISH REPORT FOR MAY 28, 2003
The wind had started to blow on Tuesday evening and that had a bad effect on the fishing
today. The water was rough and the fish had moved on. The guys were only able to find two
marlin today, and neither one of them were hungry. The son got sick the whole day and I dont
think Dennis had a lot of fun either. Sigh, we cant predict the weather nor the movements of the
fish. Better luck next time guys.
