Fishing Log
 
June 6, 1999 - Picked up another 15-16 inch flounder on a gold metal-flake Whiffeltail jig w/ a red head.  Took Dorothy (my mother) a couple of pretty flounder for her birthday.
 
June 7, 1999 - 16 inch flounder taken on a live mullet at C-2 East. A guy who saw me catch was back fishing the same on the next high tide, with a nice flounder and a bluefish already in his bucket before I could get back there.  Wind - ENE.

June 8, 1999 - We got released from work early today so I worked the corners along C Pier hard with no flounder to show for it, but did add some seabass fillets to the (zip lock) bag for Kathy's party.





June 17, 1999 - It's been a slow week.  Lots of seaweed and green crud have drifted into the basin on a NE wind, reducing the water clarity to nothing.  The jacks and bluefish have been tearing up an abundance of baitfish, but I've taken no flounder.  Manatees, sea turtles, and schools of 2-lb. mullet have also moved into the basin.  The porpoises have been putting on spectacular acrobatic displays of catching, killing, and tossing big mullet back and forth to each other in the air.  With so much live bait around, it's probably time to break out the cast net and give the artificial lures a rest.
