Fishing Log

 

Oct. 9, 1997 - 1st Qtr. Moon, wind still blowing NE.  Caught a 17.5-in. flounder on a live finger mullet during a falling tide @ C-1.  The fish weighed just under 2-lb.  Blackened two fish last night with a mild Cajun rub.  Took the leftovers to work for lunch & still have 2 uncooked fillets in the reefer.

PS: The civilian fish-boy posse had a 6 pounder they'd taken in the chop at A/B corner.  They're still taking bigger fish than I am #$%!?  Everyone is using live finger mullet now.

Oct. 13, 1997 - Caught a 15-in. yellow mouth trout caught between Charlie 1 & 2, on a live mullet.

Oct. 15, 1997 - Full Moon

Oct. 16, 1997 - Nailed a 14-in. flounder in the notch @ C-1 West, on an incoming tide, using finger mullet for bait.  Gave it to CDR Conrad Chun who was working the East end if C-1, and already had 3 small flounder in his bucket.

I blackened some refrigerated fillets at home and served them with onions and mushrooms in a lemon butter and white wine sauce.  Saved leftovers to microwave at work for lunch.*

Oct. 19, 1997 - Released a 14-in. speckled sea trout, taken on a live mullet @ the N. End of B-Pier, just inside the fence, near B/C corner.

Oct. 21, 1997 - On the low incoming tide, took a 21.5-in. 4-lb. flounder @ the East end of C-1. Wind ESE.

* Recipe for 'Push-Ding' fish: Season and cover fresh (uncooked) fillets with spray butter and lemon (or lime) juice.  Set the timer on the microwave for 2-min.  Cover fillets with a second plate and push the start button.  When the timer goes 'ding' you will be amazed at how good fast fish can be.
