Fishing Log


Nov. 1, 2001 - Caught a 15 inch yellow mouth trout and two flounder.  One flounder was 15 inches long, the other was 22 inches, all taken on live finger mullet at the fishing dock on the rip-rap, no weights recorded.  Bait was plentiful but the action was slow.  The moon was full last night.

Nov. 2, 2001 - Caught a 20 inch, 3 pound flounder, same method and place as above.

Nov. 27, 2001 - Caught and kept 5 good croakers during lunch, all about 17 inches.  Also caught and released a flounder taken on a jig at the west end notch of Charlie-2 Pier.

Nov. 28, 2001 - While waiting to cast off lines on a berthing barge (between C-1 and C-2), I hooked a 16 in. yellow mouth trout on an old jig and got some free ice from the Ribault Club.  Sautéed the fish in olive oil, white wine and sour orange juice, with dill weed and lemon pepper.  Two thumbs up from Kathy.

Nov. 30, 2001, Friday - Managed to land an 18 inch trout taken at western notch of C-2, on the incoming tide, without a landing net.  A strong fish that made several nice runs, stripping drag.  Fish was hooked on a white jig with a red head and a pink tail.
