Fishing Log
 

 

Sunday, Oct. 10, 1999 - My first flounder since the rotor cuff operation.  Took it on a green jig off the east end of F-Pier.  Fish-boy Chuck and his flounder posse have invaded the base for the annual flounder run.  The fish I caught was 16-in. long, and we'll have it for dinner.  Kathy and I were talking last night, about how ready we both were for some fresh fish.

 

Oct. 18, 1999 - 15-in. yellow mouth trout taken at B/C corner on a live finger mullet, fished on the  bottom, during the incoming  tide.  The bait was provided by the young captain of one of the sea tugs.

 

Oct. 19, 1999 - Worked the jig and live finger mullet along the corners with no luck.  A 10-lb. flounder was taken at B/C corner, but a construction crew has that spot tied up during working hours.  The Good News is, that the piers outside the fences are wide open to fish, 7 days a week, 24-hr. a day.

Can't find any more Spider Fusion line in the stores, so I've gone to 20-lb. test Fire Line (in smoke grey) @ $14.00 a spool (ouch!).  Seems to be working well enough so far.

 

Oct. 29, 1999 - 19-in. flounder taken on finger mullet just before high tide at B/C corner, with the fish-boy posse looking on.  It weighed 2.5-lb. on a digital scale.  Iced down the fish and drove it down to Big Jim Devaney, down in Winter Haven.  His illness has progressed so far he couldn't eat the fish or pass Halloween candy to the neighborhood children.  Very sad.  We watched the Fla/Georgia game and he won a $2.00 bet from me, he'd placed on UF.
