Fishing Log


Black Drum
 
 
Jan. 13, 1999 - Caught a yellow mouth trout from the new concrete fishing pier at the Little Jetties, using shrimp on the bottom.  Also saw 5 or 6 large (8 to 12-lb.) black drum taken there at low slack tide, with dead shrimp on bottom rigs.
 
Jan. 19, 1999 - Hooked a small (11-inch) 'potato chip' flounder at the west end of C-2, on a pink tailed white jig.  Released same.
 
Jan. 30, 1999 - Got covered up with toad fish at the Little Jetties fishing pier.  No black drum as expected there, and no yellowmouth trout in the Navy basin today, either.  Fishing has been awful.

Jan. 31, 1999 - Fished the last of the outgoing tide at dawn, expecting trout in the Navy basin.  Nothing - two months without a decent mess of fish.
