Fishing Log

 

Feb. 17, 1999 - Kept four more trout and gave away several ribbon fish today at the bottom of E-Pier.  Conditions unchanged since yesterday.

 

Feb. 20, 1999 - Took two small blue fish from the North end of B-Pier, just before dawn on an incoming tide.  Gave both fish to Stoddard.  No trout, but have been picking up a few small flounder during the day which have been too small to keep.  Windy, cold front moving in from the North.

 

 Feb. 23, 1999 - First quarter moon. Caught 2 trout (only 12 and 14-inches, but fat) during lunch, at the bottom of Echo (the trout hole) on the incoming tide.

 

Feb. 28, 1999 - 6 trout taken just before dark at A/B corner, and many more at the bottom of Echo Pier, from just after dark until about 9:00 pm.

March 1, 1999 - Waxing moon.  Caught 6 or 7 large trout, between 8:00 and 9:00 am, on the last of the incoming tide.  Came back after dark and fished 'til we got run off by Security.  No accurate head count on the fish caught, but we filled the cooler with 13 to 15 inch trout.  Took the whole batch down to Bobby Langston (brother-in-law) to smoke for the wedding.

 

March 2, 1999 - Full moon.  Just one small trout taken this morning, at the bottom of Echo.

March 12, 1999 - 13 inch flounder taken on a plastic jig at Foxtrot cove.  Gave it to Stoddard Andreu (neighbor).
