Fishing Log
Dec. 7, 2001 - Croakers everywhere at Foxtrot Pier, with pickups on almost every cast, using white, 1/4 oz. jighead and bodies, with pink soft plastic twisty tails. Filled a plastic grocery bag with some very large fish and tossed the rest. Also spotted a large school of roe mullet swimming in the cove, and a large manatee.
Dec. 8, 2001 - More, even bigger croakers today at Foxtrot, taken during lunch on the incoming tide. Gave an impressive mess away. Left my big castnet in our conex box on the pier

Dec. 11, 2001 - Threw my 10 ft. cast net for the first time this year, from Foxtrot, with amazing results. I had been seeing large schools of mullet this week while jigging for croakers. I made one cast today and it took three people to pull the net up and over the seawall. I didn't have time enough to count, measure, or weigh the catch, but it was astonishing. Thought I was going to lose the net. Too bad we didn't have a crane on the pier to help with the lift.
