Fishing Log
Nov. 5, 1997 - Landed a 31-inch, 10-lb. 6-oz. redfish at the western notch of C-1 Pier, on a live finger mullet, low tide, dusk, with a slight NE breeze. The fish was hooked between a moored barge and the seawall and made at least seven 30 yard runs, pulling drag. I had to pass the rod under mooring lines as he made 4 or 5 more runs in a bid for open water, then surfaced long enough to be identified. Clear of the mooring lines, the fish made several more surface runs before it could be picked up in a long handled landing net. WHAT A FISH !!!
Tackle: A light, 6-ft. graphite rod, and a Pen 4400 SS spinning reel, spooled with 24-lb. test
Spider fusion line.
Friday, Nov. 7, 1997 - First Quarter Moon. Kept a nice 17-in. 2-lb. flounder hooked in the east end notch of C-1, during lunch on the high tide. Brisk NW wind, live bait getting scarce, and temps dropping. Large yellow mouth trout also showing up at the east end of C-1.
Spider fusion line.
