Fishing Log
October 8, 1998 - 5 or 6 jacks crevalle taken on jigs near the surface, at the middle of Bravo Pier, just before dawn. One was very large and gave me a 5 or 10 minute fight.
November 19, 1998* - Two flounder taken on jigs at C-2 West, and the Fox cove, both fish between 15 and 16 inches. I've been out of the fishing business since I broke 3 ribs in the shower, Oct. 24. (Slipped in the claw foot bath tub and fell over the rail) Just now able to sleep in a bed again.

Cooked both fish for Kathy and Joanne (sister-in-law) tonight. Shook fillets on a zip lock bag with curry, onion, garlic, & oregano with oil, then blackened them outside in a cast iron skillet. Served them with saffron rice and Greek salad. Good Stuff !!
November 19, 1998* - 19 inch flounder (not weighed) taken at B/C corner (or) C-1 west, with a black and clear 'Mr. Whiffel' metal flake grub tail, on a red jig head. Gave the fish to Dorothy (my mother).
