Fishing Log
Jan. 10, 2002 - Took 4 respectable yellow mouth trout at B/C Corner between sunset and dark on a white body, pink tailed jig. The first fish I've caught since mid December, when Security clamped down on fishing from the connex boxes on the pier. The fish were still biting when a tugboat captain and I got run off by a security guard (Lou Soto). It was tough to leave before the bite was over.
Jan. 12, 2002 - A nice mess of yellow mouth trout and some large croakers, all taken at C-2-West on pink and white jigs. The trout were all between 16 and 18 inches, and the last one weighed 2.5 lb. on a digital scale. Small (3 ") bait shrimp just below the surface, were a good omen.
Jan. 13, 2002 - More trout and croakers taken, same spot same bait, working the jig slowly off the bottom. The smallest fish I kept today was 15" with enough to give a nice mess of trout each, to Mac and Helga, Dave Fisher, some of Kathy's employees. I kept 4 nice trout for myself. Still lots of bait shrimp and large schools of roe mullet in the water.
Jan. 23, 2002 - Happy Birthday, sister Sara-Nett! Yesterday I caught 2 medium sized trout and a good croaker which I microwaved at work today for lunch with seasoned salt, pepper, lemon butter and capers, also brought a stuffed baked potato from home. The connex box smelled like a seafood restaurant. Also snagged 4 or 5 more trout after work today and released all of them.
