Wednesday, May 19, 1999 - Caught a nice 16 inch, female trout at C-2 West, just off the nose of the Kennedy, at low tide, just before first light.  (Did not weigh the fish)

Thursday, May 20, 1999 - Caught a 18-20 inch, yellow mouth trout, before first light (5:45 AM), at C-2 West, on a jig.  There were more there, but they were biting short, and I had to clock in for work.

May 25, 1999 - Picked up a 17 inch flounder At the B/C tug corner.  Got news from Base Physical Security via my boss, that my pier pass had been revoked and that I would not be welcomed back on the base to work if I got caught fishing on the piers again.  OUCH !!

Thursday, May 27, 1999 - I snagged a shrimp mammy east of C-1-1, then came back in the afternoon and harvested a 17.5 inch flounder at B/C corner, behind the last tug's transom.  Cleaned it and took it over to Mac and Helga's house.  Also picked up a keeper black sea bass on a jig at Mat Roland's dock.

May 28, 1999 - Lost a 2-lb. flounder and a nice sea bass at C-2-East, during a dead low tide, and on the first of the incoming tide, I hooked a big stingray from Mat Roland's dock that I never landed.


Black and white Wifflelure jig

June 3, 1999 - Landed a 17.5 inch flounder at C-2 East notch after work, wind SSE.  The fish was taken in the lee of the carrier (USS Kennedy) on a black and white Wiffelure  with a red .25-oz. jig head.  I broke my rod tip off heaving her up onto the pier.

June 5, 1999 - Caught 4 flounder and a big croaker at C-2 East and lost another 2-lb. flounder at the same spot.  All of the fish in the box were between 13 and 22 inches long.  Kathy is planning an end of the school year party for her faculty friends.  If the bite holds, I should have enough fish to feed all of them.  Can't wait for tomorrow.
