Fishing Log

Saturday, Aug. 3, 2002 - Hooked a 24 inch ladyfish at C-1-W, that fought like a red, also foul hooked a croaker.  Released both.  No flounder yet, air and water temps still hot.

Monday, Aug. 5, 2002 - Lost about a 2 to 3 lb. flounder at B/C corner for not rigging my landing net before a made my first cast.  Hookup made on a Mr. Whiffle jig tail.

Aug. 6, 2002 - Took a 2 ft. barracuda on a Mr. Whiffle jig tail at B/C corner.

Aug. 16, 2002 - Caught a big yellow jack at C-1-W.  A real line stripper.  Marinated filets in papaya/pineapple juice, with a little soy sauce, cayenne pepper and minced garlic.

Saturday, Aug. 17, 2002 -  The Kennedy Battle Group returned today after a 6 mo. deployment.  Traffic was a zoo, skipped fishing.  Mason came over tonight.  I boiled corn on the cob, shrimp ($4.00 a lb. heads off), and grilled the jack filets.  After dinner I took Mason down to Singleton's dock where he caught and released 5 sailors' choice, insisting on no help.  Restaurant patrons clapped and cheered his performance.

Aug. 21, 2002 - Fished C-2-W despite heavy carrier security.  Caught and released a big blue and several small sea bass during low tide.  Weather still very hot.
