Alec Newell's Fishing Log



When fish are 'biting short' or nipping the tails off of your plastic grubs, this rig will solve the problem.  Tie the treble hook trailer or 'stinger' far enough back to keep it from foul hooking the jig tail.  photo by Newell

Feb. 6, 1997 - Caught 4 trout, 1 flounder @ juncture of Bravo and Charlie Piers.  Kept the 3 biggest trout and released the smallest trout and the flounder.  Both throw-backs were legal size (12-in. long) fish.


Feb. 7, 1997 - 2 trout, 1 flounder @ B/C corner.  Released or gave away everything.


Feb. 8, 1997 - 1 sea bass (small) @ B/C Pier corner.  Got run off by base Security for fishing from the dock after dark.

Feb. 10, 1998 - Picked up a 16-in. flounder just before lunch @ B/C Pier corner, using a white, pink tailed jig with a treble hook trailer (see image at top of the page).  The fish had the primary hook and two tines from the treble trailer struck in his mouth.  Looked like he'd just left the orthodontist's office.  Blackened him on the grill tonight - DELECIOUS !!!
