Fishing Log

Fishing Log

March 8, 1997 - No bumps, no bites, no hook-ups, no fish, yesterday or today, either on the base or in the Intercostal Waterway.  Windy yesterday, nice today, strong currents on a falling tide in the ICW, at the Atlantic Blvd. Bridge.



Atlantic croaker

March 10, 1997- Picked up 2 small yellow mouth trout @ C/D* corner, and a croaker off the N.E. end of Foxtrot Pier before work, working dead shrimp along the bottom, and a speckled sea trout off of the rocks beyond Foxtrot at dusk - both keepers.  Monty (a co-worker) caught a mess of nice croakers on an incoming tide, between 5:00 and 7:00-am, working dead shrimp just off the bottom near the pilings, at the SW end of Foxtrot Pier.

Spotted Trout

March 13 1997 - I lost a 14 or 15-in. flounder @ C-2, 1-hr. and 45-min. before low tide.  The knot holding the swivel failed, and I watched the fish swim off with the white jig still in its mouth.  Also watched a man with his sons, fishing with dead shrimp, land 2 yellow mouth trout @ B/C corner, 45-min. before dead low tide.  One of the fish was 23-inches, the other was 18, I measured them myself.  Base security showed up a short time later and ran everyone off.

* There is no Charlie/Delta Pier corner on the base, so I'm no longer sure of the exact spot referenced in my log, but it probably refers to either the A/B or B/C corner.
