Redfish

June 25, 1999, Friday - Picked up 2 small flounder Monday and Tuesday at C-2-West: the first fish (12.5-in), I released, and the second fish (13.5-in), I gave to Stoddard Andreu.
 

Also caught an oversized (29 to 30 inch) redfish today at B/C corner, behind the tugs, at low tide.  It hit the jig about 18-in. from the bottom then began stripping line so fast that I thought I'd hooked a shark.  After many strong runs and anxious moments, a passer-by rigged my landing net, and the fish went directly from the water to the cooler.  The last 7 or 8 feet of the 10-12# test, braided line had been badly chafed from contact with barnacles.  The fish weighed 9-lb. 7-oz.

 

June 29, 1999 - Landed 3 flounder at Fox Cove: tossed 2, kept one that measured 17-in. and weighed 1-lb. 13-oz.  More grief from Security about fishing from the piers.
