Fishing Log

Fishing Log

 

March 6, 1998 - The yellow mouth trout have returned after an unusually warm and rainy winter.  I caught 3 this morning @ C-1 before work, about 15-in. each.  It's been a long drought on the fishing scene, with virtually nothing since Thanksgiving.

 

Friday 13, March, 1998 - Yellow mouth trout at the bottom of Echo Pier, falling tide, night fishing with Doug Oswald.  Took about all we wanted on white plastic jig tails tipped with a little dead shrimp for scent.  Most of the fish were between 12 and 18 inches.  We threw back anything too small to clean.

March 31, 1998 - Hooked a 14-in. yellow mouth trout at the bottom of Delta Pier, after work (2-pm).  A man was killed and another badly injured (both civilians) in an aircraft elevator accident on the carrier today, between 2 and 5-pm.*
 

April 2, 1998 - Released one and lost one yellow mouth trout at the bottom of E-Pier after dark, action slow.

 

April 15, 1998 - Two bluefish taken on jigs along A-Pier, the largest was 19-in. to the fork of the tail.  Gave them to Stoddard.  Jack crevalle showing up everywhere.  Hooked a big one yesterday that broke my Fenwick rod @ A/B corner.  Dredging has stopped temporarily. Good!! - water clearing.
